“Sir, we’ve come to kill you! We wonder, how much of your past strength do you retain today?”
As the voice faded, Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, was the first to leap from a rift in the void.
Boom! A single stomp shattered a star!
Revelation Star instantly disintegrated, unleashing a colossal wave of energy. This was the raw might of his Physical Body Power. His Bloodline Power surged within him as he manifested his true form, his body as vast as a Star, coldly glaring down at Lu Xuan.
Next, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Dao Kuang, Master Kongwu, and the others descended in succession. Bringing up the rear was the Eerie Race, led by Ancient Ancestor Guixuan. Each of them was wreathed in dense black mist, appearing utterly sinister. Some were gaunt, others had weakened auras, but all exuded terrifying Ancient Ancestor fluctuations. The Grand Dao Pressure from these five was even more formidable than that of Shenwu Emperor Tianye and his group!
Instantly, behind Lu Xuan, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, Wuwu, Ah Li, and Chen Changsheng all rose to their feet. Not far away, Void Kun, Tianzhao, and Tamamo-no-Mae also stood. Luo Lingkong, Liu Xuan, and Fang Yan joined them.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Before a single strike was thrown, the Grand Dao Pressure from the assembled Ancient Ancestors surged like a tidal wave, shaking the heavens, tearing the void, and unleashing Dao Rhymes like raging storms. The Dao Rhymes of the two factions clashed violently!
Just then, Chen Changsheng suddenly commanded, “Fall back!”
Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the others instantly retreated tens of millions of miles.
In the center, only Lu Xuan remained, standing silently in the void like an eternal monument. He was once the very sky above the countless beings of the Fallen Star Sea, a protective wall against the Eerie Plateau. Who said there were no walls in this world? There was. It was Sir.
For a moment, Ancient Ancestor Guixuan, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, and the others stared intently at Lu Xuan, attempting to discern his cultivation realm and true strength. But it was useless! Lu Xuan appeared utterly calm, like a mere mortal. Just like Sir in the past.
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan thought to himself, ‘Lu Xuan couldn’t possibly have returned to the Half-step Heavenly God Realm so quickly. He must be at a low-star Ancient Ancestor Realm now!’ This time, the Eerie Lord had sent them to test Sir’s true strength!
At that moment, Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, could no longer tolerate the oppressive atmosphere. He slammed his chest and roared, “Sir? Lu Xuan? There’s no such thing as an invincible being in this world!”
“If you cowards won’t act, I will!”
Boom! He leaped a hundred thousand miles into the sky, stomping directly down towards Lu Xuan. The Mountain-Moving Ape’s body glowed golden, imbued with heaven-reaching Dao patterns, all of them of the Physical Body Dao, as if cast from pure gold. That single stomp could shatter a Star!
Lu Xuan merely let out a soft hum.
“Ohm!”
Mysterious Dao Rhymes, like a gentle breeze, stirred the surroundings. Ripples seemed to spread through heaven and earth, imbued with “Dao” and “Rhyme.”
The Mountain-Moving Ape felt his entire body lighten, then a sensation like countless needles piercing him. Excruciating pain.
“What’s happening?”
The Mountain-Moving Ape stared in horror at his own body, utterly stunned. His body was disintegrating, his Physical Body instantly transforming into endless particles. His bones, his Bloodline, his very soul were all being annihilated.
“How is this possible?”
The Mountain-Moving Ape couldn’t comprehend it! What kind of power was this? Lu Xuan had merely hummed, and possessed such immense strength? He was an Ancient Ancestor! His physical body was indestructible. Yet, before he could even exert his full power, he was already falling?
He refused to accept it! He wouldn’t accept it!!
“Save me…”
With his last conscious thought, the Mountain-Moving Ape cried out for help to Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others. But before he could finish, all traces of the Mountain-Moving Ape were extinguished. From that moment on, Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, ceased to exist in heaven and earth. Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, was annihilated!
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was rooted to the spot, utterly dumbfounded. Terrifying! Everyone felt their scalps tingle with dread! That was an Ancient Ancestor! And Yang Zhengshan, Mountain-Moving Ape, was considered among the upper tier of Ancient Ancestors. Yet, despite his power, he had been instantly annihilated by Lu Xuan! Such terror!
Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others began to tremble. In an instant, Master Kongwu’s heart was seized by terror. He uttered a single word: “Flee!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! In a flash, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Master Kongwu, Dao Kuang, and the others tore through the starry sky. Their Ancient Ancestor power surged wildly, causing the heavens and earth to convulse, and distant Stars to dim into oblivion.
Crack! Crack!
Over a dozen spatial rifts appeared in the starry sky!
The moment Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others stepped into the spatial rifts, Lu Xuan merely flicked his sleeve casually.
“Boom!”
The Power of Time! Time Stop!
Instantly, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Dao Kuang, and the others felt their souls leap into their throats. Powerful Ancient Ancestors, yet they were utterly unable to move. Before Lu Xuan, they were nothing more than Ants.
Tianye roared, “We are all Ancient Ancestors! Why are you so powerful?!”
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan remained perfectly calm, stating faintly, “Ancient Ancestor is indeed the limit of this world, but Sir, as the first Innate Being, had already surpassed the Ancient Ancestor Realm. In this Star Sea, the ‘star level’ distinction among Ancient Ancestors is rather vague. Your disparity in strength is, in fact, a disparity in star levels. Sir is different from ordinary Ancient Ancestors. Our Venerable Eerie Lord refers to his realm as the Heavenly God Realm.”
Hearing this, Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Dao Kuang, Master Kongwu, and the others were utterly stunned. Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the other disciples were equally shocked. Unheard of! Sir had never mentioned this! Not even during the last Star Sea Great War did the Eerie Lord reveal it!
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan continued, “This is why you perceived Sir as invincible. Because he inherently stood above you, above everyone. Only our Venerable Eerie Lord could contend with him. Though, it is shameful to admit, even our Venerable Eerie Lord was not Sir’s match in the Ancient Epoch!”
As this statement fell, Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others’ minds went blank. “Ohm!” Each of them felt as if struck by lightning. Shenwu Emperor Tianye gritted his teeth, roaring, “So, your Eerie Race deceived us! You made us betray Sir, only to eliminate him!”
Ancient Ancestor Guixuan cackled, “Fools are always beyond saving!”
Shenwu Emperor Tianye cried out, “Sir, spare us! We were tricked!”
Master Kongwu intoned, “Amitabha! Sir, please grant us a path to survival!”
The next instant, Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve.
“Boom!”
Terrifying divine radiance surged directly towards Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Master Kongwu, Dao Kuang, and the others. Killing intent manifest! This was the power of a true Heavenly God!
Shenwu Emperor Tianye and the others struggled to break free from the shackles of the Power of Time. But it was useless! Utterly useless! The Power of Time, like an inescapable cage, sealed their past, present, and future.
Boom! The terrifying power instantly descended upon them. Invisible Grand Dao Pressure, like a grinding mill, relentlessly pulverized their Dao Rhymes.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Master Kongwu, and the others’ bodies instantly dissolved into countless particles! Instant kill! Utterly annihilated in a flash!
