Chapter 498: Chapter 497: New World

Like shadows that follow, two ancient swords without any fluctuation of aura, yet seemingly alive, closely followed Lin Hao and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

They didn’t move unless you did, but once you moved, they followed suit.

Beneath the dark canopy of the forest, in the drizzling rain, the scene was exceedingly eerie.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect was a picture of distress, stepped on in the mud, and astonished to find that the two long swords were actually moving with him, which terrified him to the core.

Then, as if realizing something horrifying, his face turned to shock as he cried out in disbelief, "How could the Bright Moon Sword and the Sacrificial Blood Sword be here? Why is this happening? Could it be..."

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, Lin Hao bent down, grabbed the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, swept his cold gaze over the two ancient swords, and then with a shove, threw the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect behind him.

The point of no return, this point of no return, Lin Hao wanted to see just how formidable it really was.

Behind them was the exit of the point of no return, only twenty-odd steps away; with that throw, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect was hurled directly out of the gate!

"You, you despicable human, you won’t die a good death!" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect was terrified, but he was utterly unable to resist and was thrown out directly.

The moment he hit the ground, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect used all his strength to scramble up and fled.

However, at that moment, the Sacrificial Blood Ancient Sword instantly teleported beside the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. A dim light flickered on the blade, and an ancient and terrifying aura emanated from the sword, as if some fearsome entity was awakening within it.

"Holy damn!"

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect felt that immense power and his face turned pale; at this moment, he was so vulnerable that even Lin Hao could trample on him, let alone this eerie ancient sword.

It seemed he knew the origin of this ancient sword, and was so terrified that he turned to run.

But as soon as he moved, the ancient sword moved as well!

Suddenly, the ancient sword suspended in mid-air horizontally swung as if held by an invisible hand, slashing straight towards the neck of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Whoosh!"

With a sharp whistle, the head of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect soared into the air, with no chance to resist, decapitated by an ancient sword!

Having survived bombardments of countless missiles and the explosion of the Dark Egg, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect was incredibly slain by an ancient sword!

Dead!

The headless body fell to the ground, the ancient sword’s glow flashed, and then it disappeared into thin air.

Silent in its coming and going, it left not a trace behind.

Even Lin Hao was unclear how this ancient sword appeared or disappeared. In this forest, there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation of Primordial Power.

The Power of Laws?

The Guardian?

Now that was the only explanation left.

But what exactly did the Guardian mean?

The point of no return? The ancient sword?

Lin Hao’s gaze couldn’t help but turn toward the side.

There, the sword referred to by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect as the Bright Moon Sword still floated serenely.

A man and his sword, one wrong turn could spell death!

Lin Hao now didn’t dare to release the people inside the Divine Cauldron, nor could he afford to turn back.

Considering the current situation, the sword’s strangeness was not something he could withstand.

To become stronger, he still had to keep moving forward, but how?

Now Lin Hao’s strength has almost reached the pinnacle of the Earth Plane, even if he’s stronger he can’t stop these Ancient Swords, let alone the Guardian who has never shown himself.

Now, there’s nothing left but to take it one step at a time. If worst comes to worst, go all out against the Guardian. With the Divine Cauldron at hand, if used properly, there might still be a fighting chance!

With this thought, Lin Hao glanced indifferently at the Ancient Sword beside him and took a step forward.

As expected, as Lin Hao took a step, the Ancient Sword followed suit, silent and ghostly.

How impressive!

Lin Hao took a deep breath, suddenly accelerated, and dashed forward swiftly.

The dense forest around him was lush, with only one path available. Lin Hao had no choice but to charge down this path, and as fast as he ran, the Ancient Sword matched his pace.

Suddenly, a dim light flashed in the dense forest, and Lin Hao disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace. Where Lin Hao vanished, the Ancient Sword also stopped and vanished with a flash of light.

Once more, the dense forest returned to a dead silence, cold and terrifying.

Suddenly, the sky brightened.

Lin Hao abruptly stopped. Just now, he felt as if he had broken through a thin membrane, and now, he stood atop a vast hill.

The dense forest was gone. Could it be...

Lin Hao swiftly turned around, and sure enough, there was a giant rock behind him with Primordial Qi swirling around it like a portal. At the other end of the portal, Lin Hao could see the shadow of the dense forest.

The Sumeru Realm again!

What on earth was the Guardian up to?

Lin Hao couldn’t understand and was about to observe when suddenly, someone rushed out from behind the hill and shouted at Lin Hao, "Brother, be careful!"

Be careful of what?

Lin Hao was startled, and suddenly, the ground beneath him shook violently, a huge fissure opening up, and an unnerving aura arose from below.

Danger!

Lin Hao was shocked and instantly dodged to the side. Following...

"Boom!"

From the giant fissure, pale blue flames erupted, soaring into the sky and forming a hundred-mile-long wall of fire.

And it was the Samadhi True Fire!

Since when was Samadhi True Fire so common?

Lin Hao was stunned, while the person who had warned him landed right next to him.

"That was close, brother. You’re quite agile to have dodged the flame blast like that." This was a chubby young man, who looked about the same age as Lin Hao, compared to the old men of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He wasn’t very tall, but he was quite heavy, almost like a ball of meat that seemed to roll across the ground when he moved.

Moreover, this person seemed quite familiar, addressing Lin Hao as a brother upon their first meeting.

"Where is this?" Lin Hao took a glance at the young man, feeling somewhat cautious. He couldn’t discern the young man’s Cultivation!

"You don’t know?" The chubby man’s eyes gleamed brightly, looking at Lin Hao more and more excitedly, so excited that his flabby flesh trembled like waves: "Where are you from?"

"I came from the Road to Nowhere, just arrived."

"From the Road to Nowhere? From outside?!! You are," the chubby man’s eyes shone like the sun, gazing at Lin Hao as if seeing an alien, his voice trembling with excitement: "from the outside world, right? How is it? Is the outside world fascinating?"

"Let me tell you, this place is dangerous. I live in danger every day. Here, one must be cautious with every step because a mountain might fall from the sky or a flame might burst from the ground at any moment. A slight inattention, and you wouldn’t even know how you died."

"Since you came from outside, you must have visited more of the Sumeru Worlds, right? Seen more people, right? I’ll tell you, people in this world are almost extinct, and many have turned into monsters."

"Oh right, my name is Zhou Quan, what’s yours?"

The chubby man was indeed very forward, sitting down beside Lin Hao without any fear of being attacked, and began to talk incessantly.
