"Not good!"
The Fifth Elder’s face flushed red.
"Their attack is too strong!"
The Eighth Elder placed his hand on the Fifth Elder’s back, channeling his own Spiritual Power into him.
"Fifth Brother, hold on!"
The Fifth Elder gritted his teeth, persevering, but the cracks on the barrier continued to widen.
The elders from several other Great Sacred Lands also joined in the action.
Terrorizing attacks followed one after another, and the Black Tower Barrier emitted cracking sounds.
The Fifth Elder staggered back several steps.
"Fifth Brother!"
The Eighth Elder hurriedly steadied him.
Resoluteness shone in the Fifth Elder’s eyes.
"Old Eight, it seems we have to use the final measures."
The Eighth Elder understood and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
He swiftly took out an object from his bosom, it turned out to be a wooden sword with a missing segment.
The sword body seemed ancient, the broken tip jagged and unremarkable.
But when he held it, faint blood-colored patterns appeared on the sword.
"This is..."
There was some surprise in the Fifth Elder’s eyes.
The Eighth Elder spoke quietly.
"Years ago, I obtained this Supreme Treasure from the ’Ancient Land,’ named the ’Soul-cutting Broken Sword.’ The sword can be used five times, four of which are already spent, today is the last one."
The Fifth Elder’s expression was complex.
"So that’s how you survived that Secret Realm back then..."
The Eighth Elder said no more, his left hand gently caressing the sword body.
His palm was cut by the sword blade, crimson blood flowing down the sword.
Strangely, the blood didn’t drip but was absorbed completely by the Peach Wood Sword.
As the blood soaked in, the previously dull Peach Wood Sword gradually awakened.
A chilling Sword Qi emanated from the broken sword.
Though faint, it caused the elders of the Five Great Sacred Lands in the distance to feel an inexplicable unease.
"What is that?"
The Tianlan Grand Elder squinted his eyes.
"Does Qinghe Sacred Land still have a trump card?"
"No matter what trump card, today Qinghe must be eradicated!"
A Heavenly Immortal Sacred Land elder sneered, once again activating the Star River Fall.
Seeing this, the Fifth Elder endured his injuries and activated the Black Profound Sky Tower once more.
"Old Eight, I’ll try to block them, prepare for the final strike!"
The Eighth Elder nodded, the blood-colored patterns on the Peach Wood Sword growing clearer.
He whispered ancient Spells, with each word spoken, the aura on the sword intensified.
"Boom!"
The joint attack from six elders of the Five Great Sacred Lands descended once more.
The barrier formed by the Black Profound Sky Tower finally gave in, shattering amidst deafening blasts.
Violent energy turbulence swept over.
At the forefront, the Fifth Elder’s complexion turned red, spurting several mouthfuls of fresh blood consecutively.
"Fifth Brother!"
The Eighth Elder quickly held the wavering Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder endured the excruciating pain, wiped away the blood stains, and revealed a fierce look.
"Old Eight... it’s now!"
The Eighth Elder understood, stepping forward to shield everyone else.
The blood-stained broken sword in his hand was now fully awakened.
