Chapter 217: The Ancestors Have Defected!

Three Thousand Dao Arts!

Witnessing this scene, the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court instantly became excited.

These Three Thousand Dao Arts had once been the number one dao art of the real world, having created unparalleled glory in the past. Since the two former Heavenly Court Masters, the Three Thousand Dao Arts had been revived to their former glory in Yang Jia’s hands.

Because the Three Thousand Dao Arts were extremely difficult to cultivate, only two Heavenly Court Masters throughout history had ever achieved complete mastery, and Yang Jia was the third.

At that very moment, Yang Jia suddenly raised both hands and roared, “Rise.”

Boom!

In an instant, a blood-colored War God dharma form condensed once again from the void behind him. Before anyone could react, terrifying waves of dao might surged out from within that blood-colored War God dharma form. As these waves of dao might emerged, Yang Jia’s blood-colored War God dharma form underwent a world-shaking transformation.

His dharma form was no longer merely a bloodline form and a War God form — it had absorbed the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Dao, becoming both majestic and mysterious. Brilliant runes flowed across the surface of the dharma form, a manifestation of the power of the dao.

Communing with heaven and earth, stirring all things!

The number one dao art of the real world!

“Excellent, excellent, excellent!”

Xiao Wu, the person in charge of the Heavenly Court, was so excited at the sight of this that he began clapping his hands. He had never imagined that Yang Jia would actually be able to fuse the Three Thousand Dao Arts into his own dharma form — he truly had not expected it at all, and was so beside himself that he nearly lost his composure.

To begin with, successfully cultivating the Three Thousand Dao Arts was already extraordinarily difficult, and fusing all of them into one’s own dao was something even harder to imagine.

But Yang Jia had done it.

“A truly peerless genius!”

Xiao Wu exclaimed.

The other powerful figures of the Heavenly Court also nodded in agreement one after another.

For the Heavenly Court to have gained such a genius was truly a blessing.

With the fusion of the Three Thousand Dao, Yang Jia’s dharma form had already undergone a world-shaking transformation, and its aura had already suppressed Ye Tianming’s dharma form.

Yang Jia looked toward Ye Tianming in the distance and laughed loudly, “Ye Tianming, come again!!”

His voice rang out like thunder.

As Yang Jia’s voice fell, the blood-colored dharma form behind him suddenly clenched its fist tightly. Within its palm, bloodline power, martial will, and the power of the Three Thousand Dao instantly converged, and an overwhelming pressure came crushing down toward Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming remained calm. Suddenly, he flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

In an instant, streaks of terrifying light fell straight down from the void, finally entering his dharma form.

At the same time, waves of terrifying dao pressure surged out from that mortal form.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was instantly stunned.

Three Thousand Dao Arts?

Xiao Wu and the others stared at the scene in disbelief — how could Ye Tianming also know the Three Thousand Dao Arts?

What was going on?

The powerful figures of the Heavenly Court were completely dumbfounded.

Yang Jia’s brow furrowed deeply as well. “You…….”

Before he could finish speaking, the area above Ye Tianming’s head suddenly shattered, and then a brand new dao fell straight down, disappearing into Ye Tianming’s dharma form.

Boom!

In just an instant, Ye Tianming’s mortal form shot up directly to eight hundred thousand zhang.

The Dao Leader of the Three Thousand Dao!

This was something he had comprehended from the dao of the first-generation Heavenly Court Master. Only with a Dao Leader could the Three Thousand Dao unleash their true power — without a Dao Leader, it was like a dragon without a head.

Under the guidance of that Dao Leader, the Three Thousand Dao began to grow more orderly and more coordinated. Each dao seemed to be imbued with life, resonating with and amplifying one another, forming a terrifying force unlike anything seen before!

In just an instant, the aura of Ye Tianming’s mortal form directly crushed Yang Jia’s dharma form.

Seeing this, Yang Jia’s expression instantly turned ugly. Although he did not know why Ye Tianming also knew the Three Thousand Dao Arts, he could tell that even though he had mastered the Three Thousand Dao Arts himself, compared to Ye Tianming, something seemed to be missing.

In the shadows, Old Yang watched Ye Tianming and Yang Jia on the void battlefield and said softly, “This Yang Jia is still one step behind!”

He could naturally see what Yang Jia was lacking — a deeper understanding and application of the Three Thousand Dao.

One had cultivated the Three Thousand Dao Arts to the extreme and fused them into his own dharma form, which was already extraordinarily monstrous.

Even from Old Yang’s perspective, this was truly monstrous.

But Ye Tianming was different. What was the most terrifying thing about Ye Tianming?

He was not merely learning the Three Thousand Dao Arts — he was learning and merging at the same time. Simply put, he was merging with the dao.

Merging with the dao!

This was the true dao of the first-generation Heavenly Court Master, and the very core of what the first-generation Heavenly Court Master represented.

And Ye Tianming had grasped this core. But that was not even the most terrifying part — the most terrifying part was that he was now also merging… and moreover, he was merging with every dao he had ever come into contact with.

One had learned to the extreme.

The other had directly begun creating new dao.

Not far away, Zhai Dian glanced at Yang Jia, then at Ye Tianming, and finally his gaze settled on Ye Tianming, lost in thought.

On the other side.

Young Master Xin watched Ye Tianming on the void battlefield. When he saw that Ye Tianming also knew the Three Thousand Dao Arts, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

Inside the void battlefield.

Ye Tianming wasted no words. He clenched his right hand hard, then threw a single punch.

Just one punch.

Boom!

The aura and pressure of the dharma form Yang Jia had condensed instantly collapsed and scattered. At the same time, Yang Jia’s dharma form began to crack apart inch by inch, dissolving into specks of starlight that dissipated into the chaotic void, while Yang Jia himself was sent flying by that single punch.

Utterly crushing!

This time, it was utterly crushing — no suspense whatsoever, a direct and merciless obliteration.

Seeing Yang Jia sent flying, the hearts of the powerful figures from the Xuanyu Domain in the arena instantly leapt to their throats.

Could the young master actually lose?

The entire universe was watching!

If the young master were to be defeated…

They dared not even think about it.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court’s powerful figures were still in a daze. They could never have imagined that Ye Tianming also knew the Three Thousand Dao Arts, and that his Three Thousand Dao Arts were even stronger than Yang Jia’s.

What was going on?

One of the Heavenly Court’s powerful figures said in a trembling voice, “Where did Ye Tianming steal this from?”

Xiao Wu said softly, “Where could he have stolen it from? Apart from the inheritance itself, the only ones who know the complete Three Thousand Dao Arts are those two Heavenly Court Masters……”

Toward the end, his voice had already begun to tremble.

One of the Heavenly Court’s powerful figures swallowed hard and said in a shaking voice, “Could it be that the ancestors have defected?”

Everyone: “…….”

In the chaotic void, Yang Jia finally came to a stop. After stopping, the dao aura emanating from his body was directly crushed to pieces, and even after reconverging, it was crushed again. His Frenzied Demon bloodline had not been damaged, but it was being suppressed completely by Ye Tianming’s mortal bloodline.

At the same time, everyone could see that faint cracks had begun to appear on Yang Jia’s body, with fresh blood continuously surging out from within him.

His physical body had finally cracked.

However, the blood that seeped out was reabsorbed by him, transformed into waves of bloodline power. But even so, his Frenzied Demon bloodline was still unable to contend with Ye Tianming’s mortal bloodline.

This time, Yang Jia was completely at a disadvantage.

In contrast, the aura of Ye Tianming’s mortal form was growing ever more terrifying. In particular, the Three Thousand Dao, guided by the Dao Leader, manifested in the void, each one radiating an unparalleled, world-dominating pressure. Even separated by countless spans of space and time, many people were still seized by its dao pressure.

Three Thousand Dao Arts!

Once the number one dao art of the real world — at this moment, everyone witnessed its true face.

Yang Jia wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Ye Tianming and said with a light smile, “Ye Tianming, you truly surprise me……”

Ye Tianming shook his head and cut Yang Jia off directly, “I have no interest in wasting words with you.”

With that, he looked up toward the deepest part of the void, where two swords floated silently.

They were none other than Sword Ancestor and Xingdao!

Ye Tianming said calmly, “You should be using them by now.”

Yang Jia laughed loudly, “To deal with you, there’s no need for them.”

With that, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a golden ancient tome transformed into a streak of golden light that shot into the sky. In an instant, nine extraordinarily terrifying and mysterious pressures spread out across the chaotic void.

Guzhe Sect!

The True Word Book!

Within that True Word Book, nine true words suddenly transformed into towering golden curtains of light that surged forth. They intertwined and resonated with one another, forming powerful true word barriers that enveloped the entire chaotic void battlefield.

Those nine true words seemed to be the most sacred and inviolable existences between heaven and earth. Their appearance directly formed a standoff against Ye Tianming’s mortal form.

In the distance, the powerful figures of the Guzhe Sect also grew excited at the sight of this.

The Three Thousand Dao Arts were the number one dao art of the real world, and these Nine True Word Laws were the number one law of the real world!

Finally, it was the Guzhe Sect’s time to shine.

But at that very moment, a seal suddenly appeared between Ye Tianming’s brows. The next instant, he simply pressed down with a backhand.

Boom!

In an instant, the nine true words in the sky were directly suppressed, and the True Word Book itself instantly transformed into a streak of light that fell into Ye Tianming’s hand.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

The Guzhe Sect’s Gu Mu stared in disbelief at the seal between Ye Tianming’s brows, his eyes filled with terror. “The Guzhe Seal……. how is that possible, how could the Guzhe Seal be in his hands, this…….”

One of the Guzhe Sect’s powerful figures said in a trembling voice, “Could it be that the ancestor has also defected?”

In that moment, Gu Mu’s entire body went limp.

In that moment, he suddenly understood.

They had chosen Yang Jia, while the ancestors had chosen Ye Tianming.

It was over!

Completely over!

One of the Guzhe Sect’s powerful figures had clearly understood as well. His expression turned vicious. “Elder, we have no way out anymore — let’s just rebel outright!”

Gu Mu: “…….”

Not far away, the smile finally disappeared from Yang Jia’s face. He stared fixedly at Ye Tianming. “How is this possible.”

Ye Tianming said nothing. He walked slowly toward Yang Jia, and behind him, that towering dharma form radiated wave after wave of terrifying pressure that came grinding down toward Yang Jia.

In this moment, Yang Jia was completely suppressed!!

But just then, deep within the void, Xingdao and Sword Ancestor suddenly began to tremble faintly.
