"Something happened?"
The Sword God's words startled Wu Tian.
He quickly asked, "What happened?"
The Sword God furrowed his brow slightly, as if sensing something.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said urgently, "Bad news, that guy has revived!"
The more Wu Tian looked, the more he realized the gravity of the situation. He hurriedly asked again, "Lord Sword God, what exactly is going on?"
"Who is this 'guy' you're talking about?"
The Sword God was no longer as composed as before. Even at his level of power, he showed signs of agitation.
A look of apprehension appeared on his face!
He managed to stabilize his emotions, then said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken."
"It must be the Overlord Demon Emperor who has revived!"
"Overlord Demon Emperor?!" Hearing the name, Wu Tian felt as if his temples had been struck by a powerful blow.
At the same time, disbelief flashed across his face.
Although he didn't know the Overlord Demon Emperor, the title "Demon Emperor" alone was enough to infer.
That demonic being was definitely an existence on par with the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor!
Wu Tian had personally experienced the terror of the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor.
An existence that could rival the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor had revived...
How could such a thing be possible?
Wu Tian was utterly shocked and immediately exclaimed, "What is going on?"
"Didn't the Demon Emperors already get eliminated? Logically, apart from special existences like the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, no other Demon Emperor should revive!"
The Sword God's face was filled with tension as he shook his head and said, "I don't know what's happening."
"But I am certain that the Overlord Demon Emperor has revived."
"Because only its aura could have penetrated into the Sword Tomb!"
Wu Tian then asked, "Lord Sword God, please calm down first. What kind of existence is this Overlord Demon Emperor?"
"Do you have any connection with him?"
The Sword God said, "Of course, I have a connection, because he died by my hand back then!"
"At that time, I had just founded the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, and then the Demon Lord led a massive army to invade."
"The ancient war began at that moment."
"The Overlord Demon Emperor launched an attack on the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. To resist the army, I fought against the Overlord Demon Emperor and eighteen Demon Emperors."
"Later, being outnumbered, I had no choice but to self-destruct, and thus perished with them."
"But I never expected that after all these years, the Overlord Demon Emperor would revive. This is simply impossible!"
Listening to the Sword God's words, Wu Tian finally understood.
When he first arrived at the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, he had heard about the Sword God.
But at that time, Lei Qianjiao had only told him that the Sword God had killed eighteen Demon Emperors single-handedly.
She hadn't mentioned anything about the Overlord Demon Emperor.
He had marveled at the Sword God's strength then.
But he never imagined the reality to be so tragic.
After a moment of stunned silence, he finally said, "What do we do now?"
"There are no Immortal Kings in the world anymore!"
"If the Overlord Demon Emperor has truly revived, then even if the sect masters of the eight great divine sects join forces, they might not be its match!"
The situation had become extremely perilous.
The Sword God looked at Li Xingyun, as if having made a decision, and said:
"Wu Tian, you go out and help first. Now I must accelerate the progress of the inheritance."
"If you continue to stay here, you won't be able to withstand the energy generated by the collapse of the Sword Tomb."
"Collapse?" Wu Tian was stunned, and his expression turned horrified.
He understood what the Sword God meant.
The Sword God intended to use the energy of the entire Sword Tomb to forcibly complete the inheritance ahead of time!
The consequences of this action would be exactly the same as when the Thunder God used the power of the Thunder God Immortal Realm to slay the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor!
But Wu Tian couldn't afford to hesitate now. He didn't think twice.
He immediately nodded and said, "I understand. Then please, Lord Sword God, send me out!"
The Sword God moved his consciousness, and a beam of light immediately enveloped Wu Tian.
Looking at the increasingly ethereal body of the Sword God, a wave of sadness suddenly surged in Wu Tian's heart.
He knew very well that after this parting, he might never see the Sword God again.
Then, the beam of light took Wu Tian out of the Sword Tomb and back to the statue.
The moment he emerged, an immense pressure almost made Wu Tian spit out a mouthful of blood.
He quickly stabilized his bloodline with his immortal energy, and at the same time, his shock intensified.
The Sword God was right; a Demon Emperor-level demonic being had indeed appeared.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he would never have been so agitated!
He looked around. The crowd that had gathered there was gone.
And the heavy pressure was clearly coming from the direction of the fighting arena!
"Wu Tian!" At this moment, Lei Qianjiao's voice rang out.
Wu Tian looked towards the source of the sound and saw that Lei Qianjiao was still in the area.
He quickly appeared in front of Lei Qianjiao and anxiously asked, "What's going on? Why are you the only one here?"
Lei Qianjiao's face was very pale, and her voice was trembling slightly.
She pointed towards the fighting arena and said, "It's a Demon Emperor! A Demon Emperor has revived!"
"Sect Master Ling told me to wait for you here. Where is Li Xingyun? Why did only you come out?"
Wu Tian said, "Li Xingyun is still in the Sword Tomb. It was the Sword God who asked me to come out first."
"What's happening? Why has a Demon Emperor revived out of nowhere?"
Lei Qianjiao shook her head and said, "I don't know either!"
"But the sect masters of the eight great divine sects all say that this is something even they find difficult to handle!"
"Sect Master Ling said that after you came out, she would have me lead you out through another exit from the Sword Domain."
"But Li Xingyun hasn't come out yet, what should we do!"
Wu Tian said, "You don't need to worry about Li Xingyun, take care of yourself first!"
"They are in the direction of the fighting arena. I know, I'll go meet up with them now."
"You leave through the exit. After this is over, I'll come back to the Sacred Thunder Sect to find you."
Lei Qianjiao was stunned and hurriedly said, "Wu Tian, what are you saying!"
"That's a Demon Emperor!"
"If you go now, you won't be able to help at all!"
Wu Tian said, "Whether I can help or not, I have to go."
"I am the Demon Extermination King of the Demon Extermination Palace. If I back down from something like this, then what I said to the Sword God earlier would have been mere empty words!"
