890 The Secret on the Ancestral Guardian Spirit
As the Corpse Ancestor wailed in despair, the Holy Sword ruthlessly cut off one of his arms. Blood flew everywhere, dyeing the sky red, revealing white bones. A stench instantly came. This sword did not take his life, but it really severely injured him.
“Who?” Ye Qiu stood in the sky with an ugly expression.
He had used the Holy Sword twice. If not for the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique, his strength would have been exhausted.
This was Ye Qiu’s first time trying to use the Holy Sword. He could already feel its power. It was terrifying, but at the same time, it consumed a lot of energy. With his current ability, he could only use three strikes at most.
One had to know that Ye Qiu was a peak-level Dao Sacrificial expert now. Even at this realm, he could only barely use three strikes. It could be seen how terrifying the power of Godslayer was.
This sword was very powerful! However, it was also very fatal. If he didn’t control it well, he might suffer a backlash at any time.
Therefore, after this strike missed, Ye Qiu didn’t use it again. He kept the last strike and waited for the time to change. It was not that he was kind and did not want to kill the Corpse Ancestor. Instead, it was the strike just now that should have taken the Corpse Ancestor’s life. It missed.
It was very strange.
With Ye Qiu’s current Sword Dao cultivation, it was impossible for him to miss. The Corpse Ancestor didn’t have the ability to resist. The only explanation was that someone had attacked.
Then who was it?
Standing in the sky, Ye Qiu looked at the entire Nine Heavens coldly, trying to find the person who attacked. After looking around and not finding anyone suspicious, he finally placed his gaze under the heavily injured Corpse Ancestor.
He already had one of his arms cut off by Ye Qiu and had become the Condor Hero, Yang Guo. His appearance was very tragic. His angry expression was very ferocious on his face, and his hateful gaze could not be hidden.
He was angry. He was anxious.
The butcher, who had walked out of thousands of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was actually seriously injured by a junior today. How could he tolerate such humiliation? But now, he had no ability to resist.
“Damn it! Kid, just you wait. When I return to my peak in the future, I will definitely tear you into pieces and wash away my humiliation today.” The Corpse Ancestor’s angry voice sounded. Ye Qiu ignored it and looked at the void crack behind him.
After a long silence, he roughly knew who had attacked just now. It was the mysterious expert hidden in the crack. That strange aura gave Ye Qiu a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
“Hmm… Did he not attack again because of some taboo?”
Ye Qiu could feel that he was very powerful, but he never appeared. To be precise, he had a lot of killing intent, but he didn’t attack again. From this, Ye Qiu came to a conclusion. There was a certain taboo in this world that restricted him from attacking.
Or perhaps there was something he was afraid of that made him not dare to attack.
After thinking this through, Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. He could feel that the person in the crack was very powerful. It was even several times or hundreds of times stronger than the Corpse Ancestor.
If he attacked, the Holy Sword would probably not be able to withstand it. At that time, he would be in danger.
The First Elder had once said that this world could not withstand the existence of the Immortal King. Therefore, when a person reached this realm, they would be excluded by the world and have no choice but to leave.
Moreover, there was some kind of taboo in the world that prevented outsiders from entering.
Just like the Demon Lord Bai Yunfei back then, he could not enter this place. Therefore, in order to find the Demon Emperor’s daughter, Tianmeng, he activated the demon seed to invade.
Ye Qiu didn’t know why he gave up.
Clearly, the expert in the crack was like Bai Yunfei, he could not enter this world. It also indirectly gave Ye Qiu a chance to catch his breath.
“Alright, then hurry up. I didn’t kill you this time, but it is not that certain next time. Wash your neck and wait for me.” After thinking this through, Ye Qiu revealed an evil smile and became fearless.
After seriously responding to the Corpse Ancestor, he looked provocatively at the crack behind him. Clearly, the person in the crack was also enraged, but he still did not attack. He didn’t even say anything from beginning to end. He just watched silently.
What was he afraid of? Ye Qiu didn’t understand. He followed his gaze and looked at the old pagoda tree sleeping at the peak of the divine mountain.
“Ancestral Guardian Spirit?” Ye Qiu was stunned. Could it be that he was afraid of that old pagoda tree?
Puzzled, confused.
The old pagoda tree had clearly participated in the battle just now, but the effect was not very obvious. It did not erupt with much terrifying strength.
Could it be that the Ancestral Guardian Spirit was still in a deep sleep?
Ye Qiu had once understood the Ancestral Guardian Spirit. He heard from Meng Tianzheng that it was even older than him.
Back then, after experiencing the calamity of the Immortal Ancient, the world and order collapsed. Meng Tianzheng brought his broken body and the last wish of the Heaven Mending Goddess to the divine mountain.
As soon as he entered the divine mountain, he discovered a sleeping old pagoda tree growing on the peak. It was on the verge of death. There were only a few green leaves and a tender sprout on the withered tree stump, as if it was a new life after a calamity.
When Meng Tianzheng discovered it back then, it was very weak and its strength was average. However, Meng Tianzheng discovered that its soul was incomparably powerful, as if an ancient powerhouse was sleeping.
It was not as simple as it seemed.
In the end, Meng Tianzheng chose to establish the Heaven Mending Pavilion on the divine mountain and used the old pagoda tree as the ancestral guardian spirit to take root. After tens of thousands of years of baptism, the strength of the Ancestral Guardian Spirit had also recovered to the realm above the Dao Sacrificial realm.
Originally, Ye Qiu thought that this was its peak strength, but now, he was confused.
He could clearly feel that the mysterious expert in the crack was very afraid of the Ancestral Guardian Spirit. It seemed to have sensed its powerful soul and did not dare to approach.
“Hmm… Looks like the Ancestral Guardian Spirit also has a huge secret. Perhaps it was once an invincible expert, but it was severely injured by that calamity and fell into a deep sleep, using the new sprouts to replace its new life. The true it might still be sleeping.”
Ye Qiu guessed in his heart. He felt that this guess was already close to the truth. Back then, when Linglong went to pluck the leaves and torture the old pagoda tree, he went to bring Linglong back and saw the old pagoda tree.
From the exchange at that time, Ye Qiu felt that the old locust tree’s mentality was like an old man with a child’s heart. It was very innocent.
This didn’t seem like the mentality of a supreme expert. At that time, Ye Qiu didn’t think too much about it. After apologizing, he promised it that he would strictly watch over Linglong in the future and left in a hurry.
“Damn it!” The Corpse Ancestor’s incompetent rage pulled Ye Qiu’s thoughts back. He threw himself into the crack and ran away without looking back.
Ye Qiu didn’t stop him because he wasn’t sure if the mysterious expert would attack after crossing that crack.
