“Dare to touch my people?”
Boom!
As Lu Xuan’s voice fell, a terrifying Dao Rhyme sealed off this entire expanse of heaven and earth. Ancient Ancestor Mei and Changjing, who had been lunging to kill Liu Xuan and Luo Lingkong, were instantly frozen in the void.
The remaining four Ancient Ancestors likewise couldn't escape the crushing might of Lu Xuan’s pressure! This was pure, absolute dominance!
Hansheng Ancient Ancestor stood rooted in place, her face a mask of shock. Her frigid Ice Dao was directly congealed within the oppressive force. A single tear traced a path down her cheek, only to instantly crystallize into ice. Her emotions for Sir were a tangled knot—love, yet also profound hatred. It was an unutterable complexity. Now, seeing Sir’s Dao manifest once more, her heart was filled with an indescribable bitterness.
On the other side, Roushan was similarly bound by the Dao Rhyme! His massive body rumbled incessantly, pure bloodline power surging like crashing waves, attempting to shatter Lu Xuan’s Dao with sheer physical might. But it was useless! No matter how ferociously he struggled, he remained powerless to escape!
Lie Yuan and Red Lotus were also trapped. Lie Yuan, once hailed as the foremost killer under Sir throughout history, felt a surge of profound humiliation. “I can’t move!” he roared. “We’re all Innate Ancient Ancestors! Just because Sir was born a moment earlier, he absorbed the purest power of this starry sky, completely crushing us other Innate Ancient Ancestors in strength! This is utterly unfair!”
Beside him, the Red Lotus behind Red Lotus Ancient Ancestor began to show signs of wilting. Lu Xuan now commanded the Power of Time with equal mastery! This was an absolute, overwhelming suppression!
Lu Xuan, with merely a wave of his oppressive aura, had instantly suppressed all six Ancient Ancestors in place.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen exchanged knowing smiles, their gazes fixed on Lu Xuan. “Master!” “Sir!” They showed no surprise. This was simply their Master’s strength!
Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao and the others dotingly, his voice soft. “Injured, are we?”
Ji Fuyao replied gently, “Yes.”
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and five gentle streams of power, like a spring breeze, flowed into Ji Fuyao and the others. Chhh! Incredibly soft, like nourishing spring rain. This was Ancient Ancestor-level Medical Dao attainment! Instantly, all their injuries vanished.
“Thank you, Master!” Ji Fuyao smiled sweetly.
Lu Xuan nodded faintly, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at Ancient Ancestor Mei and the others. “It’s time to settle this.”
Red Lotus Ancient Ancestor spoke, “We are brothers and sisters! You already killed us once; are you going to kill us a second time?”
Ancient Ancestor Mei’s face was contorted with fury, her teeth gritted. “Sir, this isn’t fair! This isn’t fair!”
Lu Xuan looked at Ye Chen. “Go give her a couple of slaps.”
Ye Chen instantly appeared before Ancient Ancestor Mei.
Smack! Ancient Ancestor Mei’s left cheek swelled high.
“This slap is for Chen Changsheng!”
Smack! Another slap!
Ancient Ancestor Mei’s right cheek swelled high.
“This slap is for Wuwu!”
Smack, smack, smack, smack! “And this one is for your betrayal of Sir, your betrayal of the entire Star Sea.” Every slap from Ye Chen was imbued with the terrifying power of the Martial Dao, the might of the Martial Ancestor shaking heaven and earth. He was forcefully grinding down Ancient Ancestor Mei’s Dao! Soon, Ancient Ancestor Mei was bleeding profusely, covered in grievous injuries. The absolute crushing power of the Martial Ancestor!
Beside them, Hansheng’s beautiful eyes furrowed, two lines of tears streaming down her face. “Sir, why must it be like this? Last time, when we targeted you, it was only to bring you back to our side, not to kill you!”
But Red Lotus roared with laughter. “Hahahaha! Sir, you can’t kill us! We, the remaining Innate Ancient Beings, either all die or none die!” As she spoke, the Red Lotus behind her began to bloom. Each petal pulsed with the Power of Time! These Powers of Time linked all six Innate Ancient Ancestors. And, a wisp of power also connected to Lu Xuan.
Roushan laughed loudly. “We are the seven most powerful Innate Ancient Ancestors in the world! As early as your previous demise, we used a secret art to connect ourselves to you. Now, we live and die together!”
Changjing revealed a mocking expression. “So, you were reborn, and so were we. Because we knew that when you fell in your last life, you would surely have other arrangements. And now, it seems we were right!”
Lu Xuan shook his head faintly. “What’s so difficult about that?” Behind him, a fragmented River of Time directly appeared! Boom! The long river surged, countless reefs and crashing waves, a mighty current flowing east, concealing many figures within.
Red Lotus Ancient Ancestor’s face drastically changed. “No wonder the Star Sea’s River of Time was shattered! You took it!”
Ancient Ancestor Mei sneered. “Sir, so what? This still can’t kill us!”
But suddenly, Red Lotus Ancient Ancestor cried out, “Wait! Sir, you’re not going to…”
Before she could finish, Lu Xuan raised his hand, and the ‘Dao of Self’ directly manifested. He slammed a palm down onto the River of Time, a power that spanned heaven and earth, as if it could annihilate all things in existence. Instantly, the lingering imprints of Ancient Ancestor Mei, Lie Yuan, and the others within the River of Time vanished!
The Dao of Self can cut me, and it can cut everything outside of me!
“Sever!” Sever the past! Sever the Innate! Lu Xuan said calmly, “I am I!”
As this palm annihilated all traces of the past ‘Sir,’ ‘Sir’s’ Dao Rhyme completely transformed into a different power, perfectly attuned to Lu Xuan. At this very moment, Ancient Ancestor Mei and the others’ entire existence began to shatter.
“No! No…” “What are you doing?!” Ancient Ancestor Mei screamed. In the minds of Ancient Ancestor Mei, Lie Yuan, Hansheng, and the other Innate Ancient Ancestors, memories of ‘Sir’ seemed to grow increasingly blurry. Next, Lu Xuan punched towards the six Ancient Ancestors in the sky.
Boom! This punch, spanning the starry sky, possessed world-shattering power. Instantly, Ancient Ancestor Mei and the five others were overwhelmed with terror. Because Lu Xuan had severed the past, achieving supremacy in this life, the Innate Qi, which was once their shared glory and contained the most terrifying, most invincible Grand Dao in the world, was now worthless. The Innate’s strength—made by Sir, broken by Sir! In an instant, Ancient Ancestor Mei and the five others wailed. They all unleashed their Daos, trying to stop Lu Xuan’s power! But it was useless! But it was useless!
Boom! Crack! The bodies of Ancient Ancestor Mei and the five others continuously shattered, their divine souls, divine senses, Daos, all existence shattering! The fear of death made Ancient Ancestor Mei beg loudly for mercy. “I’m sorry, Sir!” “I was wrong!”
Hansheng also begged for mercy. Ancient Ancestor Mei’s body continuously shifted, and simultaneously, Liu Ruyan and Nangong Baixue appeared. Two exquisitely beautiful women shed mournful tears.
But Roushan and the other three sighed continuously. They understood that death was inevitable. This was Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan and Sir were indeed the same person, but Sir was different in this life! He had severed all past ties and bonds with the Innate Ancient Ancestors! This also meant that their last, faint bond as Innate Ancient Ancestors was also gone.
Boom, boom, boom! Ancient Ancestors fell, and heaven and earth roared! Six Innate Ancient Ancestor auras appeared between heaven and earth. Lu Xuan waved his sleeve, gathering all six auras, and sent them one by one to Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and Ah Li. A remaining wisp flew towards Wuwu at Du’e Temple! Another wisp flew towards Chen Changsheng! The last wisp landed before Qingqiu. Lu Xuan smiled and said, “Absorb them. After absorbing them, you can step into the Ancient Ancestor Realm!”
