A vast Heavenly Catastrophe occurred. Rolling lightning fell like water droplets, like a terrifying thunderstorm.
After Bai An’s Heavenly Catastrophe, the virtual shadow of divine weapons appeared in the air one after another. The fearsome power made the sky tremble, feeling terrified by the virtual shadows.
Although these virtual shadows of divine weapons were not real, there was no doubt that they contained some profound meanings of the divine weapons. That kind of power was terrifying.
Each Earth Heavenly Weapons had different power, representing completely different laws and authorities in this world. For example, the Sky Mirror corresponded to the void of the world. Another example was the Sword of Buddha, the supreme treasure of the slaughter domain.
These divine weapons represented different domains and powers, so their roles were also completely different. However, there was no doubt that these divine weapons were mighty. Despite being under the lightning evolution, each was not inferior to the peak of the sixth rank.
These divine weapons would surely kill Bai An if he confronted them directly, not because Bai An was too weak, but because these divine weapons were too powerful. Ordinary people would not be able to contend against them.
After all, this was already Chen Heng’s eighth Armed Catastrophe. He was already at the eighth rank, and the eighth Armed Catastrophe he endured was also equivalent to the eighth rank, which was much higher than Bai An’s current level. The gap between the two was so huge that it would naturally produce terrifying results.
Those watching the evolution of the Heavenly Catastrophe at the side could not help but be shocked. Their gazes were fixed on the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand, “That ancient sword is miraculous…”
Vast runes appeared in the eyes of the powerhouses as they deduced the specific situation of the ancient sword. However, they could not continue in the end as they seemed to see an enormous world unfold before their eyes. It was so powerful that it encompassed everything, as vast as the real world. This was a powerhouse above the Earth Heavenly Weapon, a level that they absolutely could not see at this moment.
“This sword…” The powerhouses present trembled as they were affected by the aura of the ancient sword, feeling its essence and power.
They had never seen such a powerful divine weapon in the past. It wasn’t that they had never seen an Earth Heavenly Weapon before that was indeed powerful and vast, symbolizing the laws and authorities of the world. At the same time, it was strange and unfathomable, with immeasurable power.
However, the ancient sword before them wasn’t inferior at all. Being a Mortal Heavenly Weapon, it wasn’t symbolizing the vast origin of the world,like an Earth Heavenly Weapon. However, it was similarly powerful and boundless, just like a powerhouse. It did not require an outsider to activate it and was powerful enough to crush everything.
“That ancient sword seems very similar to the one that appeared in the Zhou family…” Finally, someone noticed the origin of the ancient sword and spotted its traces.
Bai An once brought the ancient sword to the Zhou family’s ancestral land and caused a huge ruckus several thousand years ago. He even fought against the Earth Heavenly Weapon, the Sky Mirror, and eventually suppressed it. This matter had caused severe chaos in the cultivation world back then.
The Eternal Dynasty was naturally very clear about it and even sent people to explore it, wanting to find the ancient sword and bring it back to enrich the Eternal Dynasty’s heritage. However, the ancient sword never appeared ever since, as if it had disappeared. It was precisely why traces of the ancient sword had slowly faded away and wholly disappeared after thousands of years.
It was only now that the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand once again displayed its divine might that the powerhouses before him finally remembered.
“Back then, that ancient sword and its owner disappeared for no reason. No one knew where they ended up. I never thought that they would reappear in this manner today…” A voice sounded. His gaze was fixed on Bai An, and the ancient sword in his hand, and his eyes flickered, “I don’t know if ancestor Bai obtained this by chance or…”
No fool could become a Heavenly Gifted Individual of a generation and cultivate to this level. With the intelligence of everyone present, they were naturally able to guess the various possibilities that existed.
There were only two possibilities that the ancient sword had mysteriously disappeared back then and suddenly reappeared in Bai An’s hands. Either the ancient sword had disappeared back then and was obtained by Bai An, or the ancient sword had been in Bai An’s hands from the beginning to the end.
Bai An was the same person as the mysterious person from the Zhou family back then. However, there was no need to delve deeper into this issue at this moment.
Time had changed. If Bai An had just joined the Eternal Dynasty, or if he did not have a deep foundation, perhaps there would still be people who would use this matter to cause trouble and try to seize the ancient sword in their hands.
However, Bai An’s wings were ready now. Not to mention his strength, the Bai family he had founded was a large branch within the Eternal Dynasty and played a vital role in the dynasty. Everyone in the dynasty respected him, as many mighty powerhouses had even received his favor and care. Furthermore, Bai An had once married a princess in the Eternal Dynasty. Hence, he was now an elder of the Eternal Emperor in terms of status.
If they were to attack Bai An, they would be betraying their master and exterminating their ancestors. Therefore, although they had considered the crucial point, their expressions remained unchanged as they indifferently put the matter behind them.
They were more concerned about Bai An’s Heavenly Catastrophe at the moment compared to his past.
“The Heavenly Catastrophe has yet to pass, and the Armed Catastrophe is coming again…” They watched the scene and could not help but frown, subconsciously feeling uneasy, “Can Ancestor Bai handle such a lineup?”
“Let’s wait and see.” Another person spoke solemnly, though he was confident in Bai An, “Ancestor Bai is not an ordinary person. Since he chose to transcend the catastrophe, he must have sufficient confidence. Immediately activate the Ancestral Weapon and save him if things get out of hand.” The people around nodded slowly. Then, they looked forward and continued to observe.
The people present were very calm. Bai An had left a deep impression on them in the past. They subconsciously thought that Bai An must be confident since he had decided to go through this catastrophe. This was a stereotype from the past. After all, Bai An was such a cautious person in their past impression, which they weren’t wrong to a certain extent.
However, Bai An wished to tell them that they were overthinking. He didn’t make any special arrangements. He had no idea what was happening here and didn’t know what he would face before this.
As for confidence, Bai An did have enough faith to survive if it was just his Heavenly Catastrophe. After all, he had not wasted these thousands of years but focused on polishing his body. He was confident that he could overcome the Heavenly Catastrophe before him. However, if he took the Armed Catastrophe into account, the result would be a question mark.
Bai An was extremely flustered at this moment and probably wouldn’t have been able to maintain his calm if it weren’t for the ancient sword in his hand that was still emitting warm energy and surging into his body. It was not that he was not persistent enough, but the sudden attack was too terrifying.
There was a considerable gap between the seventh and eighth ranks. Similarly, it was the same for the Heavenly Catastrophe. The Heavenly Catastrophe that Bai An had to go through was equivalent to Chen Heng’s seventh rank.
However, the Armed Catastrophe that Chen Heng needed to transcend was the eighth Armed Catastrophe. There was still a considerable gap between the two, and it was impossible to catch up in a short time. Hence, it was normal for Bai An to feel helpless and despair. However, Chen Heng was already prepared for this.
“Need not panic…” Bai An immediately calmed down as he heard Chen Heng’s voice in his mind.
He still trusted the power of the ancient sword even though many years had passed, owing to his past impressions and the trust in his partner. Therefore, he completely relaxed his mind and was not as stiff as before.
The ancient sword began to move in his hand. A wave of power surged from the ancient sword and began to continuously support Bai An’s body, causing the aura on his body to expand and rapidly increase.
Streaks of golden runes surged from Bai An’s body, and each seemed to represent a supreme Profound Meanings of Law that was unimaginable and terrifying, giving people a terrifying aura of power. These runes surged into the ancient sword and finally landed on Bai An’s body, causing his aura to expand and increase.
Bang!
A soft sound sounded, and faintly, a layer of barrier seemed to be broken by Bai An. He entered a brand new level, viewing everything before him from a higher level. This was the state Chen Heng was at, observing everything in this world from an eighth-level perspective.
Bai An had successfully established a connection with the ancient sword and had entered a unique state under the influence of Chen Heng’s power. The power of the two complemented each other under this state, becoming even stronger as if they were one.
“So that’s how it is…” Various realizations surged Bai An’s heart in an instant.
As he observed from a higher-level perspective, various doubts that had arisen during his cultivation in the past were directly resolved one by one. As for what was before him, he saw everything was beginning to turn upside down.
Although the roaring lightning dragon and the Armed Catastrophe were still mighty, they seemed to have changed and were no longer as perfect as before. Bai An could not find the point of attack at all. On the contrary, the Armed Catastrophe was full of flaws and was no longer invincible in Bai An’s eyes.
A piece of information appeared in his mind, giving him a new understanding, then he held the ancient sword and began to move. The long sword gradually swung, then assumed an inexplicable gesture.
The Dao Principle in his body was roaring, turning the sword into a saber and slashing forward heavily in a unique posture. In between this slash, a supreme profound meaning was displayed. In a trance, it was as if a supreme king was roaring, slashing toward the many living beings before him, bathing in blood.
The Heaven King’s Golden Saber was cleaving heaven!
