Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared in a flash and arrived at a pond within the depths of the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land. It was a pool of water where countless swords were buried.

It was known as the Sword Pond.

One of the Opportunities of Fortune inside the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.

His senses were keen to sense a bundle of incomparably powerful and pure sword qi deep beneath the Sword Pond.

"Rise up!"

Chu Kuangren raised his hand and channeled the power of his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.

The water in the Sword Pond started boiling as countless swords rose into the air, hovering in the skies. Among them, a gigantic white ball of light was surrounded by multiple swords that seemed like they were guarding it.

"Oh, this Ancestral Land Foundation even has a sword formation protecting it."

With an indifferent gaze, Chu Kuangren increased the power of his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart once more, and the swords trembled and retreated to each side.

The sword formation had broken apart by itself!

Chu Kuangren reached out and grabbed the white ball of light, which turned into a crystal longsword. It was not a physical sword, but a sword formed by the condensation of countless streaks of pure sword qi.

"Using the Thousand Swords Essence that produces sword qi to maintain the operation of the whole ancestral land? This Sword Pond is quite fascinating indeed."

Chu Kuangren said softly.

After taking the Thousand Sword Essence, the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land trembled slightly, and its spatial structure began to lose its stability.

Chu Kuangren ignored it and carried on.

The foundations of the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land were located in three areas.

The first was the Thousand Sword Essence, located inside the Sword Pond.

The second was an Emperor Weapon in the form of a longsword. Chu Kuangren was a little disappointed to learn this as he was not short on Emperor Weapons.

What he wanted were items that could be absorbed and used to increase his cultivation level.

However, that Emperor Weapon was incredibly powerful. Its Emperor's Aura was way stronger and denser than any of the Emperor Weapons he owned.

It was clear that Emperor Weapons differed in quality too.

/strong>

As for this Emperor Weapon, it was no doubt a high-quality one.

Hence, this very fact comforted Chu Kuangren a little.

"I hope the last Foundation won't disappoint."

Chu Kuangren mumbled.

He soon arrived at a building similar to a mausoleum — the final location of the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land.

It was known as the Sword Tribe's Tomb!

Moreover, the Sovereigns of this ancestral land had already gathered here.

None of them could stand by and watch as Chu Kuangren destroyed their Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land. Hence, everyone had gathered here with the intention to defeat him.

Chu Kuangren was not surprised by this.

"Chu Kuangren, you want to destroy the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land today? You'll have to go through us first!!"

One of the Sword Tribe's Sovereigns snorted. Then, the other Sovereigns stood behind him and formed a sword formation.

"Eight Wind Sixfold Annihilation Sword Formation!"

The Sword Tribe's Sovereigns roared as they urged forth the power of the sword formation.

The Sword-based Daoist Rhymes that erupted from those Sword Sovereigns started to resonate with each other, and their sword qi gradually merged.

"Cut through!!"

The leading Sword Sovereign raised his arm and slashed forth!

In an instant, the powers of a dozen more Sword Sovereigns combined to form a gigantic sword shadow that aimed at Chu Kuangren!

Terrifying bouts of sword aura ripped the surrounding void apart.

"Your bravery is commendable, but alas, it's all meaningless!"

Chu Kuangren said.

As he lifted his hand, the power of the Four Mystical force surged forth.

"Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements!"

Along with the nine strands of Emperor qi within it, the Divine Sword of Four Mystical Elements erupted!

When the two gigantic sword shadows clashed, the Four Mystical Sword Shadow mercilessly ripped the sword formation's shadow apart. Then, the remaining energy from the collision hit the group of Sovereigns.

The Sword Sovereign leading the group immediately exploded into a mist of blood.

On the other hand, the remaining Sovereigns were sent flying from the battlefield like broken kites in a storm. All of them looked at Chu Kuangren in horror as they fell to the ground.

"How is he so powerful?!"

"Nine strands of Emperor qi! He has cultivated nine stands of Emperor qi!"

"Is this the power that killed the Tempest Sword Sovereign?"

The group of Sword Sovereigns fell into despair.

None of them were able to do anything against the level of strength Chu Kuangren displayed. His power was beyond the extent of their capabilities.

Hum…

At this moment, the Sword Tomb suddenly started to rumble.

A golden ray of light pillared into the sky and landed before the Sword Sovereigns. To their surprise, it was a golden skeleton.

Golden skeleton swirled with golden light as fine needles of sword qi hovered around it, emanating an incredibly dense Emperor's Aura.

"Oh, it's a Sword Emperor's remains!"

Chu Kuangren's interest was piqued. "I did not expect the last part of the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land Foundation to be a Sword Emperor's corpse."

He could sense that the golden skeleton's aura contained a deep connection with the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land, as if they were of one body.

Besides this, he could also feel a growing threat from that Sword Emperor's skeleton, which alone shocked him a little.

He felt nothing when he was attacked by a group of the Emperor Road's most top-notched Sovereigns. Yet, he felt threatened by this golden skeleton.

"It's one of our founding forefathers!"

"Our forefather has come to our rescue!"

The Sword Sovereigns looked at the Sword Emperor's corpse with hope in their eyes.

Streaks of sword qi around that Sword Emperor manifested as an Emperor's Thought. After that, the sword qi continued to intertwine and form the flesh and blood, turning the golden skeleton into a handsome middle-aged man.

That man was wearing long golden robes with his hands crossed as vast surges of Emperor's Aura emanated from his body. He had a dominating gaze in his eyes.

"Oh, the Remnant Spirit of a deceased Emperor? Interesting."

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation. In the blink of an eye, he had obtained every information about that Emperor's ident.i.ty and his current condition.

"Sky-pride of the future, you are indeed powerful, but I won't just stand by as you destroy the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land. Come, show me what you've got!!"

The Sword Emperor said as he reached out into the void. A sword that dropped from one of the Sword Sovereigns instantly flew into his grasps.

With a sword in hand, the powerful and menacing might of a Sword Emperor gushed forth!

"Hah. If an Emperor's Remnant Spirit possesses such power, I am now more excited to reach the Emperor Realm." Chu Kuangren laughed.

Without delay, an extremely large and colorful rune manifested in the void.

The Everchanging Nine Dragon Rune has appeared once again.

As nine strands of dragon qi entered Chu Kuangren's body, his aura instantly rose, and his Ultimate Dao manifested. With the Descendant Self Sword in hand, his aura had become on par, if not stronger than that of the Sword Emperor's Remnant Spirit.

"You are truly powerful, sky-pride of the future. If you're born in my era, perhaps someone like you will be able to affirm your Dao with your strength alone."

The Sword Tribe's Emperor uttered with admiration and praise.

"Even in this era, I'm confident in doing so!"

Chu Kuangren said proudly. After all, he had always challenged the impossible, broke the norms, and created miracles!

After hearing Chu Kuangren speak of his ambitions, the Sword Tribe's Emperor's admiration towards him grew stronger. However, a murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes. "Alas, it's a shame that you're going to die here."

"Big words coming from a Remnant Spirit like you. Let's see if you can survive this!"

Chu Kuangren raised his sword and cast a sword technique.

The power of nine dragon qi and Emperor qi unleashed and channeled into his sword qi.

The Sword Tribe's Emperor did not hold back either. With a lift of his sword, his Emperor's aura erupted, seemingly overpowering Chu Kuangren's Dao.

The instant the two surges of sword qi collided, the Sword Tribe's Ancestral Land rumbled violently, as if it would crumble and give way at any moment.

At this, the Sword Sovereigns quickly retreated, for fear of being caught up in that battle.

Emperor Thought used to be called Empyrean Thought
