BOOM!
The sealed stone gate of the Forbidden Sword Cliff at the back of Supreme Edge World exploded outward in a shower of gravel. Out of the dark cave shot a blinding streak of Rank 8 Peak Solar Furnace light—only for the crowd of three thousand disciples and four hundred billion live-stream viewers across the sector to gasp and cover their eyes!
Floating in the sky above the mountain peak was the legendary Sword Ancestor Ling, the eight-thousand-year-old Supreme Guardian of the Ten-Thousand Sword Mountain Sect.
Except the terrifying old monster wasn’t wearing his famous Nine-Heaven Star-Iron Armor, nor was he wearing his gold-threaded outer robe, which had been woven with metallic spirit-threads. And his five-foot-long silver hair wasn’t tied up in a dignified immortal topknot, either.
Because when Pei Xuan’s [Galactic Sword-Vacuum & Smelting Tower] had switched to [MAXIMUM SWORD SEIZURE] thirty seconds ago, its hundred-million-mile magnetic suction had reached straight through the air vents of the Forbidden Sword Cliff! It had yanked Sword Ancestor Ling’s star-iron armor off his chest, ripped his metallic belt buckle off his waist, pulled his gold-threaded outer robe over his head, and even sucked the treasured Dragon-Needle Iron Hairpin right out of his hair!
