Chapter 366
by fanqienovelChapter 366: The Human Ancestor Takes Action
"A conspiracy!"
An Immortal King channeled mana, Dao, and treasures, but it was useless; his cultivation was too weak, and under the suppression of the Chaotic Demon God’s power, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Many Immortal Kings’ Dao hearts shattered; even the most foolish knew at this moment that they had fallen into a huge trap, with no chance of survival.
Whoosh!
Ye Xu activated his Immortal Golden Body, bolstered by merit power; divine patterns of merit flowed around him, and the suppression he suffered was minimal. The moment the cage fully formed, he escaped the cage.
"Eh?" Mad Daoist’s eyes flickered. "Power of merit?"
"How did he escape?" Han Daokong exclaimed in surprise.
"Even if he escaped, he will die." Green Lotus Demon Emperor’s killing intent blazed intensely. His strength was no longer as weak as when Burial Soil first formed; now, within Burial Soil, he could rival a cultivator at the late stage of Immortal King.
To kill a small fry at the early stage of Immortal King would be in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
Green Lotus Demon Emperor suddenly appeared behind Ye Xu. He flicked his finger, gathering chaotic energy at the tip; lightning flashed, and countless Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation blasted toward Ye Xu as if to annihilate heaven and earth.
Ye Xu looked astonished. "You think you can kill me?"
Without turning his head, he let the chaotic divine thunder crash onto his body; the divine thunder exploded repeatedly, but Ye Xu remained completely unharmed.
"This man’s strength is formidable." Green Lotus Demon Emperor instantly realized that Ye Xu was not an easy target.
He tried to withdraw.
"Last time in the Western Region, I failed to kill you; this time, you won’t escape." Ye Xu’s killing intent surged; he unleashed his Proud Bones Golden Body, invulnerable to all techniques, traversed the chaotic divine thunder, and punched Green Lotus Demon Emperor with his fist.
Bang!
Green Lotus Demon Emperor’s physical body was blasted apart.
"Teacher!" Han Daokong paled in horror; he never expected this person’s power to be so terrifying.
"My lord, save me!" Green Lotus Demon Emperor shouted.
He was the ruler of Burial Soil, chosen by the Chaotic Demon God as its spokesperson in the mortal world; at his peak, he could wield the battle power of an Immortal Venerable. But now, his strength was too weak.
The Venerable gently waved its sleeves; an original chaotic storm swept in, seizing Green Lotus Demon Emperor’s soul and evading Ye Xu’s blow.
"I’m out of here."
Seeing this, Ye Xu did not prolong the fight; in a flash, he vanished without a trace.
Rumble!
The Venerable did not pursue Ye Xu; it marshaled its power, and the altar slowly turned; ancient totems rose one by one, and the sacrificial chants were both seductive and deafening.
Devouring these Immortal Kings’ souls was only secondary.
The Venerable’s true purpose was to completely refine the power of the River of Time.
It had schemed for tens of millions of years, finally reaping success at this very moment.
"There is no escape." Bai Muyue’s face was filled with despair; even the White Emperor, falling into such a hopeless situation, would face certain death—how could a group of Immortal Kings flee from the grasp of the Chaotic Demon God?
Dao King seethed with rage; his grand ambitions remained unfulfilled, and dying here filled him with unbearable resentment.
"If it weren’t for this foolish woman, I wouldn’t have been dragged by her into a desperate situation." Dao King swept a glance at Li Ruoshui, his gaze brimming with hatred and killing intent.
Clang!
At that very instant, a mighty pillar of sword light slashed down from the heavens, stunningly brilliant.
The vast righteous energy of heaven and earth surged violently. An elder sat high atop the azure sky, cross-legged. Using his finger as a sword, he cleaved a single stroke into the Void Tomb.
The terrifying sword energy nearly split the Void Tomb in two. The slash struck the altar, shattering the cage.
"Human Ancestor!"
Zūn roared, filled with boundless fury.
Mad Daoist chuckled lowly, showing no surprise.
With a Chaotic Demon God emerging, all realms would inevitably be endangered. They were creatures more savage than Primordial beings. Human Ancestor cared deeply for the world beneath the heavens—how could he possibly allow it to revive so easily?
"Run now!"
Human Ancestor’s sword strike sundered the cage. The Immortal Kings instantly seized the opportunity, fleeing swiftly in all directions.
Zūn’s face turned utterly grim.
That one sword strike had obliterated the river of time, evaporating a third of his power.
Yet, vast energy still surged into Zūn’s demon body, causing his aura to spike explosively. Though he couldn’t match Human Ancestor or Mad Daoist, he wasn’t far inferior.
"Daoist friend, will you truly just stand by and watch?" Zūn directed his gaze at Mad Daoist.
Mad Daoist spread his hands and replied, "Our agreement was merely to open the alien universe passage together. There were no other demands."
"Besides, Human Ancestor is my brother, my elder brother."
"I’d consider moving against him—but only if I get that cluster of Primordial Dao Fire."
"…."
Fury overwhelmed Zūn. The Primordial Dao Fire was his very essence. Giving it to Mad Daoist would prevent him from ever restoring his peak power—how was that different from death?
Boom!
Human Ancestor coiled sword light around his fingertip. He drew a deep breath, seemingly inhaling the world’s righteous energy into his belly, transforming it into a dazzling sword glare that shot forth from his fingertip.
This single sword stroke manifested rivers, mountains, and the myriad phenomena of the universe.
It forged peace for all ages!
Rumble!
The youth soared into the demon body’s head, dissolving into a wisp of crimson light that merged with the Primordial Dao Fire. Zūn straightened his body, casually dipping a hand into the chaotic river. He fished out a vast, majestic Divine Mountain exuding the aura of primordial essence.
Boom!
Zūn gripped the mountain and smashed it downward. The power of primordial origin shattered the sword energy, obliterating Human Ancestor’s divine ability and clawing back an advantage.
"The Five Innate Elements Divine Mountain?"
Mad Daoist’s eyes gleamed.
Born before the creation of the heavens, the Five Innate Elements Divine Mountains were treasures absolutely no less valuable than the Primordial Dao Fire.
Perhaps even superior.
The Five Innate Elements were exactly five, as the name implied.
The Divine Mountain Zūn wielded represented Taichu—the Primordial Beginning.
This harmonized perfectly with his Primordial Dao Fire, emerging from the same source—a flawless fit for him.
"Human Ancestor, you exhaust yourself handling the Immortal Realm’s collapse calamity, yet now you hinder my rebirth? Today, I shall see exactly how much energy you have left!" Zūn roared.
Boom!
Human Ancestor’s assault was his reply.
The Nuwa temple manifested. High in the firmament, a sacred being with a human head and serpent body slowly materialized. She was the mother of all things, creation’s first deity. Boundless divine might empowered the temple. Like a universe itself, the entire structure crashed down upon the Primordial Divine Mountain.
Thud!
The Primordial Divine Mountain buckled violently under the blow. Zūn’s two arms snapped, splattering demon blood everywhere.
Rumble!
The next moment, Human Ancestor activated Nuwa temple again. An elusive, infinitesimal yet infinitely vast power descended from the heavens—finer than a strand of hair, yet impossible to ignore.
"Transcendent power?"
Horror seized Zūn’s heart.
"That old fool—has his strength advanced so swiftly after refining the Xuantian Merit Dao Embryo?" Mad Daoist revealed a flicker of surprise; Human Ancestor’s power had now surpassed his own.
This all stemmed from the benefit of the Xuantian Merit Dao Embryo.
"No wonder he dares try to stop this creature’s rebirth," Mad Daoist thought inwardly.
The Human Ancestor of the past, ever mindful of conserving his strength, might have turned a blind eye. But times had changed. Human Ancestor’s power had ascended to a new peak.
As Humanity’s Ancestor, he couldn’t idly watch a Chaotic Demon God emerge and ravage all realms.
Whoosh!
That wisp of transcendent power drifted downward—limitlessly sharp, like a filament of sword energy. It sliced through the chaotic forbidden zone, severing the arm Zūn had used to clutch the Innate Primordial Divine Mountain.
Howling in agony, Zūn abandoned any attempt to reclaim the Innate Primordial Divine Mountain immediately. He channeled the Primordial Dao Fire to withstand Human Ancestor’s onslaught.
Incalculably heavy, the Divine Mountain sank relentlessly into the chaos’s depths.
A single figure raced stealthily toward the descending mountain.
