“Absorb it. Once you do, you’ll be able to step into the Ancient Ancestor Realm!”
As his voice faded, Ji Fuyao and the others immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to refine the immense power.
Far away, at Du'e Temple, Wuwu, having received Lu Xuan’s summons, was instantly enveloped by a terrifying force and teleported away the moment he accepted the divine radiance.
Whoosh! A streak of light flashed, and Wuwu appeared before Lu Xuan.
“Master!” Wuwu greeted.
Lu Xuan nodded, and Wuwu promptly sat down to refine the power.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Void Kun, carrying Chen Changsheng, Tianzhao, and Tamamo-no-Mae, vanished from before Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others.
“Damn it! Did Sir just make a move?” Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, roared, witnessing the scene.
Master Kongwu’s expression turned grim. “I sensed the demise of Ancient Ancestor Mei and the other five. It seems Sir has acted!”
Shenwu Emperor Tianye asked, “What do we do now? Sir has been reborn, and it looks like he’s already regained his former strength!”
A wave of terror swept through them all. They had over a dozen Ancient Ancestors, yet facing Sir, they felt a pre-battle dread.
Beside them, Ancient Ancestor Guixuan sneered. “I know, in your eyes, Sir is a god! But gods bleed too! And they can die! Sir has already died once, what are you afraid of?”
As his voice fell, several Ancient Ancestors of the Eerie Race emerged from behind Guixuan. There were five of them! Now, their combined force numbered twenty!
Shenwu Emperor Tianye asked, “Is it just the six of you Ancient Ancestors from the Eerie Race?”
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan let out a booming laugh. “Our Eerie Race has been preparing for this war for endless ages. Today, we merely wish to gauge Sir’s true combat strength!”
“We’ve prepared a grand gift for Sir! We’re not afraid of him being too strong; our only fear is that he’s too weak.”
Shenwu Emperor Tianye was speechless.
Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, was speechless.
Everyone felt that the people from the Eerie Plateau were really showing off!
Just then, a black mirror appeared in Ancient Ancestor Guixuan’s hand. Within the mirror, a river flowed ceaselessly.
“What is that?” Shenwu Emperor Tianye exclaimed, his face paling.
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan’s lips curved into a slight smile. “My Eerie Race has already claimed a fragmented River of Time from this Star Sea. However, what you see in this ancient mirror is not its main body; the true River of Time resides on the Eerie Plateau!”
His hands wove through a series of spirit incantations. Boom! Intricate and mysterious Dao patterns transformed into wisps of energy, directly probing Lu Xuan’s location through the River of Time.
The River of Time contained the Power of Karma! Xuanji Holy Lord Baili was currently in the Eerie Sect, which was Eerie Plateau territory! Through Baili’s Power of Karma, they could pinpoint Lu Xuan’s location!
Moments later, Ancient Ancestor Guixuan declared, “Found him. Lu Xuan and his group are near Revelation Star!”
Hearing this, Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, thumped his chest fiercely, rallying himself. “Kill!”
Instantly, the twenty Ancient Ancestors locked onto Lu Xuan’s direction and surged forward with murderous intent.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The terrifying, peerless might of Ancient Ancestors, vast as an abyss and deep as the sea, cascaded across the entire Star Sea. All living beings on the stars were stunned. How terrifying! Twenty Ancient Ancestors unleashed at once! The Star Sea was about to undergo a cataclysmic change!
At that very moment, near Revelation Star. Boom! Towering spatial array patterns surged, and Void Kun, along with Chen Changsheng, appeared directly before Lu Xuan.
Chen Changsheng smiled. “Master.” As expected, only his Master truly understood him, knowing he hadn’t yet stepped into the Ancient Ancestor Realm!
Chen Changsheng also sat cross-legged. Tianzhao and Tamamo-no-Mae bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan. “Sir’s return is truly a cause for celebration.”
Lu Xuan waved his sleeve, and a surge of Medical Dao power flowed into their bodies. Instantly, a drastic transformation occurred within them. Their meridian injuries, divine soul wounds, and physical damage all healed in a flash!
“Sir!” Their voices trembled slightly. Was this truly the omnipotent Sir of old?
Without further disturbance, they sat cross-legged nearby, closing their eyes. Before Lu Xuan, five figures were now seated, all striving to break through to the Ancient Ancestor Realm: Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, Chen Changsheng, Wuwu, and Ah Li! The remaining portion was reserved for Xuanji Holy Lord Baili!
As Ji Fuyao and the other five’s cultivation soared, Lu Xuan’s body received a massive influx of cultivation feedback, pushing him directly towards the Ancient Ancestor Realm! The only difference was, there were no more System notifications.
Lu Xuan asked, “System, are you there?” The System’s faint voice replied, “Yes, I’m always here.”
Lu Xuan then looked at Fang Yan, Luo Lingkong, and Liu Xuan. “I will accelerate your refinement of the Ancient Ancestor power!”
As his voice fell, Lu Xuan waved his sleeve, and three gentle streams of power entered Luo Lingkong, Fang Yan, and Liu Xuan’s bodies. Their inner worlds began to undergo drastic changes! This was the Power of Time!
Qingqiu looked at Lu Xuan with anticipation. “Sir.”
Lu Xuan smiled. “You won’t be left out.”
With another pointed finger, he unleashed a sword intent! It contained Primordial Aura!
Qingqiu was slightly startled. She was already at the peak of Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm, just one step away. Her Sword Dao was an invincible Sword Dao, and that invincibility was born from Sir. Because Sir was invincible.
Qingqiu continuously sensed the divine radiance Lu Xuan had imbued into her brow, murmuring, “Invincibility comes from an invincible heart. Even without innate talent, one can still be invincible! I understand!”
Instantly, a resonant clang of sword qi erupted from Qingqiu’s body. ZING! Like a long sword piercing the Star Sea, the aura of a Sword Ancestor transformed into a terrifying storm, surging outwards. Its chilling sword qi seemed capable of tearing apart the entire Fallen Star Sea!
Tianzhao grew excited. “My daughter has finally stepped into the Ancient Ancestor Realm!”
Qingqiu slowly opened her eyes, her plain skirt billowing. She looked at Lu Xuan. “Thank you, Sir.” Lu Xuan gave a faint nod.
Boom! Terrifying Power of Time continuously flowed above everyone’s heads. Everyone felt as if time was moving much slower! One breath outside equaled a hundred breaths here!
Ji Fuyao and the others’ cultivation continued to surge. Simultaneously, Lu Xuan’s cultivation also skyrocketed. Early Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm! Mid Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm! Late Nine-star Myriad Phase Realm!
Boom! The next instant, Lu Xuan directly stepped into the Ancient Ancestor Realm!
At that very moment, all living beings across the entire Star Sea sensed Lu Xuan’s presence. One must remember, Sir was the first being born in this Star Sea! This was a power of destiny! Although many had vague memories of Sir, this subtle, preordained connection thrilled everyone. It was as if a god had descended!
At the same time, Ancient Ancestor Guixuan, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, and the others, who were hurtling towards Revelation Star, also sensed this aura!
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan’s expression turned solemn. “It seems Sir wasn’t even in the Ancient Ancestor Realm when he killed those six Innate Ancient Ancestors.”
Tianye said, “But at that time, Ancient Ancestor Mei and the other five weren’t true Ancient Ancestors either!”
Yang Zhengshan fiercely pounded his chest, roaring, “Who cares if he’s an Ancient Ancestor or not! Kill him!”
