“Hahahaha! The Ancestral Artifacts are active! Two of our clan’s Supreme Old Ancestors are approaching this realm!”
Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s voice boomed, and everyone present looked up in shock towards the depths of the void. The Ji Family’s Supreme Old Ancestors were truly returning? With Supremes descending, who could possibly contend? They could do as they pleased in this realm!
The numerous Old Ancestors from the Cloud Sword Sect, the Ancient Chen Family, and the Ancient Luo Family turned to Ji Yue Old Ancestor, asking, “Why is it that we also used our Ancestral Artifacts to contact our progenitors, but received no response?”
Ji Yue Old Ancestor sneered, “Our Ji Family’s two Old Ancestors have said it themselves: beyond this realm, countless powerhouses exist, and not everyone who ascends survives! If you can’t contact your progenitors, it’s highly probable they’re already dead. You should know, even among our Ji Family’s four Supreme Old Ancestors, two have already fallen!”
Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestors of the three great powers turned ashen. Their Supreme Old Ancestors were dead? Could ascension truly be a deception?
Ji Yue Old Ancestor said smugly, “It’s not that your Old Ancestors were too weak. Beyond this realm, the Starry Sky holds countless stars, a vast and boundless ocean. Many Supremes from this realm who ascended ended up in dire straits. But our Ji Family’s two elders have already become Outer Elders in a super-hegemonic force within the Starry Sky!”
Everyone present was filled with immense envy.
Boom, boom, boom! The three Ancestral Artifacts above Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s head grew increasingly incandescent. Two of them, the Heavy Black Ruler and the Incomplete Wing, pulsed with endless, brilliant light, their emanating Momentum/Aura/Stance growing terrifyingly potent. Waves of profound power surged like ripples. The Heavy Black Ruler cleaved the void above, unleashing towering waves of energy. The Incomplete Wing unfurled continuously, scattering endless Divine Radiance feathers. Feathers filled the sky!
As these two Ancestral Artifacts fully activated, Ji Yue Old Ancestor looked at Lu Xuan with an arrogant sneer, completely ignoring the Divine Radiance Lu Xuan had sent.
Moments later. Lu Xuan’s Divine Radiance struck the Ji Family’s Ancestral Artifacts! One Ancestral Artifact shattered and was annihilated instantly! Then, the Divine Radiance landed on the Heavy Black Ruler. In mere breaths, the Dao Patterns on the colossal ruler began to vanish, and the ruler itself cracked open, dissolving into countless fragments.
Witnessing this, Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s smug smirk vanished. Even a fully activated Ancestral Artifact couldn’t withstand the residual power of this white-robed youth?
He immediately activated the Ji Family’s Supreme Secret Art. Brilliant Divine Radiance surged, and the power of his bloodline erupted with divine light. Ji Yue Old Ancestor roared, “Old Ancestors, save me!”
Lu Xuan looked up, activating his Insight Eye, and shared the vision with Xuanji Holy Lord.
His gaze extended beyond this realm, and he quickly saw two gray-robed middle-aged men piloting an ancient Cloud Ship, streaking through the Starry Sky. Both were Three-star Supremes, one early-stage, one late-stage! They were none other than Ji Ruhai and Ji Qianshan! Terrifying power surged around them, a manifestation of Rule Power. Their strength surpassed even some of the dimmer stars they passed! On the Cloud Ship, two ancient Starry Sky Dao Patterns were inscribed: “Cloudrise!” This was a special Cloud Ship, distinct from the Tai Chu Realm’s Spirit Boats, bearing the intricate Dao Patterns of the Starry Sky.
Ji Ruhai remarked, “Finally, we return to the Tai Chu Realm. When we left all those years ago, the Heavenly Dao made things difficult for us at every turn.”
Ji Qianshan said, “Today, we’ve brought a Star Refining Stone from the Holy Land. Once we’ve enslaved the beings of the Primordial Star, we’ll refine it into a Star Core.”
Ji Ruhai added, “This time, we’ll harvest some slaves and bring back a Star Core. That should net us a good amount of Contribution Points!”
Ji Qianshan’s gaze turned dark. “I wonder how Xuanji Holy Lord is doing now? Without our Eastern Wilds’ cultivation methods, if she’s even alive, her cultivation must have fallen to the Emperor Realm.”
Ji Ruhai licked his lips. “I hope Xuanji Holy Lord hasn’t fallen! That would be a great pity! We haven’t even tasted her delights yet!”
Ji Qianshan gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Damn it! When we broke through the boundary and left all those years ago, we tried to forcibly take Xuanji Holy Lord with us, but the Heavenly Dao actually stopped us! Otherwise, by now, we would have had several children with her!”
Ji Ruhai nodded, illusions flickering in his eyes. “Indeed. You and I would have enjoyed her countless times by now.”
Hearing these words, Xuanji Holy Lord’s face grew colder and colder. “Master, kill them later!”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Dare to speak of my good disciple like that? I’ll make them wish they were dead!”
Just then, Ji Qianshan frowned slightly. “Hmm? The Ancestral Artifacts we left behind have been activated. What powerful enemy has the Ji Family encountered?”
Soon, Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s cries for help reached the ears of the two Old Ancestors. Ji Qianshan said, “Dare to touch someone from my Ji Family? Are they courting death?! They don’t even know who they’re messing with!”
Ji Ruhai scoffed, “Now that the two of us have returned, we can sweep across the Tai Chu Realm! Even the Heavenly Dao is no match for us!”
At these words, the Green-skirted Girl transmitted a message to Lu Xuan, a hint of anger in her voice. “Lu Xuan, I’m still refining the Star Core. Later, help me beat these two idiots to death! They want to refine me?” she added, a pout in her voice. “After sucking the Tai Chu Realm dry and ascending, these guys show not an ounce of gratitude.”
Lu Xuan replied calmly, “Alright.”
At the same time, Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s face turned utterly pale. In a mere instant, the ancient Heavy Black Ruler shattered into countless fragments, followed by the colossal Incomplete Wing. Its endless Divine Radiance feathers, under the residual power of Lu Xuan’s attack, were utterly defenseless, dimming and vanishing in a flash. “Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!” The massive wing, which had unfurled to the size of a mountain range, was instantly pulverized into dust!
Boom! Lu Xuan’s Divine Radiance attack continued its descent towards Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s head! Ten thousand feet! Five thousand feet! …One thousand feet!
Seeing this terrifying, murderous power drawing ever closer, Ji Yue Old Ancestor tore open the void, preparing to flee, all while screaming frantically. “Old Ancestors, save me! Someone’s trying to kill me!”
Just then, from the depths of the void, an ancient voice echoed. “Who dares harm someone from my Ji Family…”
Before the voice could finish, Lu Xuan’s Divine Radiance descended upon Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s head. Ji Yue Old Ancestor frantically conjured various Spirit Weapons to resist, but it was useless! Utterly useless! The residual power of that single strike, capable of tearing apart heavens and rending earth, had completely locked onto Ji Yue Old Ancestor!
“No! No—” “White Robe Supreme, may you die a terrible death!” Pfft! Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s body instantly dissolved into a mist of blood. He was beyond dead!
The next instant. “Boom!” “Crack!” The void tore open, space twisted violently. From within the spatial rift, Ji Ruhai’s furious roar thundered forth. “Who gave you the dog guts to touch someone from my Ji Family?!”
