“Instant Void Sword!”
Swoosh!
With this single strike, Luo Lingkong burned everything he had. Heaven-piercing sword qi surged across the sky like a Star River, directly slashing towards the numerous Ancient Ancestors present!
Sword qi crisscrossed everywhere!
Luo Lingkong looked death in the eye, finally grasping a sliver of the ‘realm’ Sir had spoken of! A sword that slays all creation! In an instant, this entire Starry Sky turned frigid, and sword qi reigned supreme.
It was well known that in the past, the many Ancient Ancestors of the First Star Ring mocked Luo Lingkong’s Sword Dao. He could only unleash one strike, and afterwards, he would be completely weakened. What’s more, many times, that single sword strike wasn’t particularly powerful, barely enough to defeat ordinary Ancient Ancestors. So, what good was such a Sword Dao? Luo Lingkong was constantly ridiculed.
But now!
All the Ancient Ancestors felt a profound sense of dread.
“Terrifying beyond measure! This sword strike was too horrifying! No Ancient Ancestor could face it with composure.”
“It has a touch of Sir’s essence!”
“After Sir, someone can still reproduce this power! It’s utterly terrifying!”
Because, Luo Lingkong, in this moment, seemed to have reached the ‘One Sword to Determine Life and Death’ realm that Sir had spoken of! One sword strike to grant life, and you live; one sword strike to demand death, and you must die!
In the arena, the heads of three Ancient Ancestors were instantly severed. Instant kill! Blood splattered everywhere!
The other Ancient Ancestors suffered varying degrees of backlash! And in that instant, Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae directly activated her supreme illusions. The Dao charm of ‘Charm Dao’ flowed through the heavens and earth like a spring breeze. The Bronze Ancient Palace in her hands vanished in a flash. At the same time, the Fox Fortune Holy Land before her was sealed with countless Dao Patterns and restrictions! In a fleeting moment, unnoticed by all.
Ancient Ancestor Tamamo-no-Mae placed the Bronze Ancient Palace into the bewildered Silver-haired Woman’s hands. Tamamo-no-Mae said seriously, “Xiao Yin, this Star Sea depends on you.”
Xiao Yin immediately burst into tears, looking at Ah Li beside her. “Old Ancestor, can I really do it? My talent is too poor.”
Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head. “Your sister, Ah Li, was once Sir’s student. Although her memories have been erased, she possesses the most heaven-defying bloodline and Talent of our Supreme Fox Clan. Everyone is watching her. Only you, no one pays attention to. Take this Bronze Ancient Palace and leave. Someone will meet you!”
A fleeting instant, gone in a flash!
Even powerful figures like Fang Yan, Liu Xuan, and Luo Lingkong, burning everything and pouring out their all, could only delay the numerous Ancient Ancestors for a single moment.
Boom! Crack!
The Dao charms of the Ancient Ancestors burned like raging flames, quickly breaking free from all restraints! They roared at Tamamo-no-Mae, “Tamamo-no-Mae, damn you, hand over the Bronze Ancient Palace!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! A dozen attacks immediately blasted towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
Pfft!
Tamamo-no-Mae continuously spat blood. Bearing immense pressure, she sent a wisp of the Bronze Ancient Palace’s aura into the Fox Fortune Holy Land, then immediately began sealing it.
“Illusion!”
Liu Xuan suddenly gritted her teeth. “Sir could burn everything, and so can I!” She directly sacrificed her Dao! Burning her own Ancient Ancestor Dao! She wanted to buy Tamamo-no-Mae time!
Beside her, Luo Lingkong was already too weak to fight. He wanted to burn himself, but he couldn’t. At this moment, Fang Yan slowly climbed up from the Starry Sky. His physical body was shattered into tatters; one could even see his gleaming white bones and the bloodlines within him. He let out a mighty roar, “Solid as a Rock!” His physical body erupted with dazzling golden light, directly shielding Liu Xuan.
In that instant, Liu Xuan’s Illusion Dao erupted with power once more, causing a half-breath of stagnation in the battlefield. In that singular moment, a Green-skirted Girl, far away in the Tai Chu Realm, suddenly extended a jade-like hand towards Xiao Yin, a hint of tenderness in her eyes. “Come here, Xiao Yin.”
Boom!
Terrifyingly immense power transformed into an invisible giant hand, crossing the boundless Starry Sky to embrace Xiao Yin, then depositing her into the Tai Chu Realm.
Xiao Yin, her face blank with confusion, burst into tears. “Sister! Old Ancestor!”
Having done all this, the Green-skirted Girl’s body became ethereal. She sighed, “I can only do this much.” As her voice faded, her body dissolved into countless specks of starlight, vanishing.
Simultaneously, the aura emanating from the Tai Chu Realm was entirely absorbed by the distant Dark Ruins, making it impossible to detect even a trace. The Tai Chu Realm vanished completely.
The next moment, within the now-hidden Tai Chu Realm, a Green-skirted Girl, her long dress fluttering, rubbed her brow with a delicate hand, an air of ancient wisdom on her face. “Oh dear, I’m getting old. How could I forget some things again? I only remember that I must protect the Bronze Ancient Palace and the little girl within it, waiting for someone to refine the Bronze Ancient Palace. Should anyone else break through the boundary, their memories of the Bronze Ancient Palace must be erased!”
Boom!
That day, an incredibly ancient Bronze Ancient Palace, like a shooting star, tore through the firmament and plummeted towards the Southern Wilds. Instantly, all the hegemonic forces in the Southern Wilds looked up.
“What is that thing? What terrifying Dao charm! This is power beyond a Nine-star Great Emperor!”
“This artifact is incredibly ancient, filled with the aura of ages!”
“I felt, for a fleeting moment just now, as if this entire world had broken through its shackles. Could it be that beyond this realm, there are even vaster heavens? Is there a stronger realm after Nine-star Great Emperor?”
All the powerful cultivators discussed animatedly.
This era was historically known as the ‘First Ancient Epoch’! The terrifying Bronze Ancient Palace continued to descend, growing larger and larger. Initially like a mountain range, it eventually became as vast as an entire domain, striking terror into everyone. Countless Dao Patterns were inscribed upon it, incredibly complex and profoundly obscure—a power no one could comprehend.
Boom!
The Bronze Ancient Palace landed in the Southern Wilds, like a colossal sun sinking into the earth. Just as everyone was about to approach, it flew away.
Everyone exclaimed in shock, “This artifact is too mysterious! The power within it completely surpasses our understanding!”
“This must be an artifact from beyond our realm!”
Among the many powerful cultivators, Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor Dao Yi stood in the void, his eyes gleaming. He gazed at the departing Bronze Ancient Palace and said, “I have a premonition. This is an opportunity for all of us. It will return.” Just a moment ago, he had felt a familiar sensation. Beside him, Liu Ruyan, in a long dress, a seductive smile on her face, leaned directly into Dao Yi’s embrace. She chuckled, “Dao Yi, could this be our opportunity? I feel a subtle, ethereal connection.”
Dao Yi gently stroked Liu Ruyan’s long hair, smiling. “Indeed…” Before he could finish, Dao Yi suddenly clutched his head, letting out a muffled groan. He felt his Divine Soul splitting apart! It seemed other hidden obsessions were trying to break free!
Boom!
From Dao Yi’s body, the power of the Grand Dao Scripture suddenly erupted. His form merged with the heavens and earth, and the aura of the Great Dao surged outwards like a tide. Liu Ruyan, startled, quickly retreated. “Dao Yi, what’s wrong with you?”
