Chapter 100: Two Grand Elders

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chu Chang held the sword in one hand, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"I have waited for this half a year just for the two of you old monsters to come out of seclusion. If it were just those ants from before, I would have found it beneath me to dirty my hands."

"Arrogant!"

Ancestor Disha roared and was the first to attack.

With a wave of his large sleeve, the main Peak behind Ten Thousand Sword Mountain shook violently. Countless ancient swords buried beneath the main Peak flew out simultaneously, transforming in the Void Realm into a giant black Dragon composed of one hundred thousand devilish swords.

[Devilish Ten Thousand Sword Heaven-Breaking Art!]

The black Dragon roared, carrying rolling Devilish Qi and the sharpness to destroy everything, fiercely pouncing toward Chu Chang.

At the same time, Ancestor Tiankui also moved.

A white scepter, made from the bones of an unknown exotic beast, appeared in his hand, and he lightly tapped the Void Realm.

[Law Imprisonment, Drawing a Circle as a Prison!]

The Void Realm around Chu Chang's body instantly solidified, its hardness comparable to tempered steel, locking him firmly in place and preventing him from dodging the bombardment of the devilish sword black Dragon.

The combined attack of two Mahayana Great Perfection powerhouses was so powerful that it pushed the entire space to the verge of shattering.

The Disciples of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain below saw this, and every one of them revealed looks of ecstasy and anticipation.

However, facing this almost fatal blow, Chu Chang merely spat out four words indifferently:

"All show and no substance."

Boom!

The Chaos Primordial Spirit inside Chu Chang, flowing with golden Immortal Dao patterns, trembled slightly.

A terrifying magic power that could not be described in words erupted from his body like a volcano. The space imprisonment applied to him by Ancestor Tiankui could not even last a thousandth of a second before this power before it shattered with a boom.

The next moment, Chu Chang raised the duanchen ancient sword and thrust it out.

There was no sword technique.

Only speed.

It was so fast it surpassed light, so fast it surpassed the Law of time.

Swish!

That sword thrust directly into the head of the black Dragon composed of one hundred thousand devilish swords.

Chaos True Essence erupted along the tip of the sword.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

A series of dense explosions rang out, and that astonishingly powerful devilish sword black Dragon crumbled inch by inch from head to tail in the blink of an eye, turning into metal fragments that scattered across the ground.

"What?!"

Ancestor Disha's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward for several hundred zhang, his eyes filled with shock.

His full-force attack was actually broken by the opponent with a single sword strike?

"This is definitely not an ordinary Undergoing Tribulation stage!"

Ancestor Tiankui's expression was grave to the extreme.

He and Ancestor Disha looked at each other, both seeing the determination and fear in the other's eyes.

At this point, they had no way out. If they could not kill Chu Chang today, the foundation of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain built over thousands of years would be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the two old monsters would have no chance of survival either.

"Let's go all out!"

Ancestor Disha roared, and the skin on his body began to crack, strands of black devilish blood flowing out and merging into the Void Realm. He was forcibly burning his own Lifespan and Primordial Spirit to exchange for a brief moment of Peak combat power.

Ancestor Tiankui did the same; his already sparse silver hair instantly turned withered yellow and fell off, but his aura surged crazily, vaguely breaking through the limit of the Mahayana stage and touching the threshold of the Undergoing Tribulation stage.

[Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, Nine Nether Immortal Slaughter!]

The two Old Ancestors shouted in unison.

Behind them, the Void Realm collapsed with a boom, and a giant black and white demon god, condensed from the Laws and vitality of the two, slowly stood up in the ten-thousand-zhang Void Realm.

The demon god held a ten-thousand-zhang giant sword in its hand, the giant sword entangled with countless resentful souls and black silk threads of Law, emitting a terrifying aura that made the entire Tianqian Domain tremble.

This attack gathered the foundation of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain of thousands of years, as well as the lives of two Mahayana Great Perfection powerhouses.

"Chu Chang, die!"

The demon god roared, and the ten-thousand-zhang giant sword, with the determination to split heaven and earth in two, fiercely slashed toward Chu Chang.

Facing this attack, the blood in Chu Chang's body accelerated slightly.

"This is interesting."

He looked at the ten-thousand-zhang giant sword slashing down at him, the Chaos color in his eyes reaching its extreme.

He did not dodge, but instead raised the duanchen ancient sword high.

The Chaos Primordial Spirit within him, which had absorbed the lifelong essence of the Taiyi Immortal, completely merged with the Flying Sword in his hand at this moment.

[Chaos Taiyi, Void-Breaking Sword!]

He unleashed this sword strike.

There was no sound.

The entire world lost all color in that instant, leaving only a golden thin line connecting heaven and earth.

The ten-thousand-zhang demon god condensed by the two Old Ancestors, the moment it touched this golden thin line, could not even put up a struggle before being perfectly split into two halves from the middle.

"This… this is impossible…"

Ancestor Tiankui watched the golden thin line continuously enlarging in his pupils, his lips trembling, his eyes filled with despair.

"You… have you already taken that step? Are you already an Immortal…"

The words were left unfinished.

The golden thin line swept across their bodies.

Bang! Bang!

The bodies of Ancestor Tiankui and Ancestor Disha exploded in mid-air, turning into golden and black specks of light scattering across the sky.

The two Old Ancestors who had lived for thousands of years, the final trump card of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, were completely annihilated in body and soul under this earth-shattering sword strike from Chu Chang.

Below, the tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Disciples and Elders who had been expecting a miracle were plunged into dead silence in that instant.

The sky had collapsed.

Chu Chang retracted his sword and stood in the Void Realm.

He looked down at the crowd of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain who had completely lost their will to fight and were kneeling everywhere, his expression indifferent.

"From this day forward, Ten Thousand Sword Mountain shall exist no more."

His voice echoed like divine judgment among the mountains for tens of thousands of miles around.

Chu Chang took a step forward, directly crossing the layers of ruins of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, and arrived at the ancestral grounds in the deepest part of the Sect.

A huge stone tablet stood here, and beneath the tablet was a hidden Formation space.

Chu Chang flicked his finger, and a golden Sword Qi forcibly blasted the Formation open.

Inside the Formation space lay an ancient book made entirely of black gold.

Chu Chang beckoned, and the black-gold ancient book fell into his hand. He opened it and looked at the contents recorded within, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"So that is how it is."

The ancient book clearly recorded that the Heavenly Demon War had indeed broken out in the Tianqian Domain back then, but that war had not completely closed the path to Ascension.

The ones who truly closed the path to Ascension were the founding Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain and several other leaders of the Righteous Path in this world.

Because they discovered that the Immortals in the Upper Realm were not mentors guiding Mortals to become Immortals, but rather treated the Lower Realm as a "Mortal farming pen" to extract Luck and Laws.

Every Cultivator who entered the Upper Realm through the normal Ascension channel would have their entire cultivation and Luck drained the moment they crossed the Heavenly Gate, to be refined into Immortal Pills to extend the Lifespan of the Immortals in the Upper Realm.

In order not to become fodder for the Immortals, the ancestors of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain had to forcibly sever the path to Ascension of this world and set up a Seal on the periphery, faking the appearance of a Dharma-Ending Age.

And Taiyizi was killed by Ten Thousand Sword Mountain in secret cooperation with the Heavenly Demons outside the realm precisely because he wanted to forcibly reopen the path to Ascension.

"So this world is a cage."

Chu Chang closed the black-gold ancient book and looked up into the depths of the endless Void Realm.

He was now at the Undergoing Tribulation stage, having reached the absolute limit of what this world allowed.

But if he did not Ascend, as his Lifespan passed, he would eventually become a pile of yellow earth, just like Ancestor Tiankui.

"Interesting."

Chu Chang put away the ancient book, a brilliant light flashing in his eyes like never before.

"If there is a pack of man-eating wolves behind the Heavenly Gate, then I shall hold this duanchen ancient sword, slaughter all these so-called Immortals, and set a new set of rules."

He turned around, his figure disappearing into the ruined ancestral grounds of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

Now that the Tianqian Domain was entirely in his hands, he would set up an unprecedented, heaven-reaching Formation in this world to forcibly smash open that Heavenly Gate!
