In fact, Yu Yuan was perfectly at ease.

He was just using Minghe Ancestor's hand as a tool to temper his physical body.

After all, as long as he could hold Minghe Ancestor off, the Witch Demon and Golden Immortal tribes could return to a balance of power, entering an awkward situation where neither could do anything to the other.

In doing so, he fulfilled his promise to Zhu Jiuyin.

He felt fully justified in taking those three Ancestral Witch Orders.

However, Minghe Ancestor certainly did not see it that way; he was somewhat eager to defeat Yu Yuan, this stumbling block in his path.

Hearing Minghe Ancestor's light shout, within ten thousand miles, everything collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, transforming into a violent Chaos Qi, swirling around the two of them.

Yu Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, he held the Tianyuan Hammer in his hand without rushing to attack again.

At this moment, Minghe Ancestor let out a low roar; the flames and curtains of water surrounding him surged up, adhering to the two Divine Swords conjured in his hands.

The Avici Sword carried an endless murderous aura, while the Yuan Tu Sword contained destructive strength.

Their crisscrossing attacks magnified their power.

This harnessed the extremes of the Twelve-fold Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner's power, using the special abilities of these treasures to form an even stronger offensive method.

Yu Yuan spurred the Tianyuan Hammer, showing no mercy as he fiercely smashed it at Minghe Ancestor.

Golden light emitted from the hammerhead, each strike raising huge waves of force, the booming noise incessant.

However, the defenses of the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner and the Twelve-fold Karmic Fire Red Lotus did not show the slightest gap to penetrate.

At the same time, the two Divine Swords in Minghe Ancestor's hands also danced non-stop, and his powerful killing moves fell one after another on Yu Yuan, engulfing him.

Time ticked by second by second, and the battle between the two still had not determined a victor.

Suddenly, Minghe Ancestor let out a low growl, accompanied by the screeching of countless ghost souls, as Karmic Fire rose from the depths of the earth, instantly enveloping Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan felt as if countless hands were pulling at his body and continuously drawing out his mana.

Feeling this, Yu Yuan, who was prepared to counterattack, stopped.

Under the effect of Reverse Action, not only was his mana not being drained, but it had also greatly increased from nowhere.

Minghe Ancestor, unaware of the situation, took it for granted that Yu Yuan was caught off guard due to the sudden drop in mana; therefore, he did not hesitate to launch an attack, the Yuan Tu and Avici Divine Swords instantly piercing his flesh.

Blood splattered as Yu Yuan was impaled by the two Divine Swords through his chest.

Yet, he remained standing, not falling, and even the Tianyuan Hammer in his hand emitted an even more intense light than before.

Minghe Ancestor frowned slightly, not understanding how Yu Yuan had seemingly received a heavy blow and yet his might appeared even greater than before.

At this moment, Yu Yuan held the Tianyuan Hammer, exuding a strong aura that was not to be underestimated.

Minghe Ancestor showed a questioning look, hastily forming seals with his hands, as the Twelve-fold Karmic Fire Red Lotus slowly rose, and the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner suspended above his head.

The Twelve-fold Karmic Fire Red Lotus emitted scorching light, and the boundless Karmic Fire instantly shot towards it.

The Karmic Fire was extraordinary, a special flame fueled by karmic deeds.

Any expert, if they bore karma, would be ignited by the Karmic Fire, and until all karma was burned away, the fire would not be extinguished.

Yu Yuan naturally also had karma.

However, under the effect of Reverse Action, the Karmic Fire could not ignite his karma.

Seeing this, Minghe Ancestor's face showed even deeper confusion. With an outstretched hand, myriad dark-red thunderbolts of slaughter descended from the sky, bombarding Yu Yuan relentlessly.

This time, he used the power of thunder as an assisting attack. A massive lightning orb struck Yu Yuan in an instant.

However, Yu Yuan still stood tall and unyielding after taking the hit.

"Daoist friend has impressive techniques indeed!" Minghe Ancestor's eyes revealed a trace of admiration, yet he did not stop the rhythm of his attack.

With a single wave of his hand, Yuan Tu and Avici, the two supreme Divine Swords, transformed into a pair of sword dragons and fiercely pounced on Yu Yuan, as if to completely devour and tear him apart.

Yu Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he swung the Tianyuan Hammer in his hand vigorously, colliding with the two sword dragons and producing a grating clang of metal on metal.

Minghe Ancestor quickly summoned two defensive treasures; the twelve-petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus shimmered with red flames, and the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner surged with powerful currents, dissolving all of Yu Yuan's attacks.

At the same time, Minghe Ancestor wielded Yuan Tu and Avici, the two supreme Divine Swords, unsheathing them and sweeping them toward Yu Yuan from left and right.

Yu Yuan stoically endured a heavy strike from the Avici Divine Sword, and turned aside to dodge the edge of the Yuan Tu Divine Sword.

Minghe Ancestor's Sword of Killing Divine Skills were astonishingly powerful. The light from Yuan Tu and Avici Divine Swords burst forth, the booming never-ending. The massive shockwaves from their collision with the Tianyuan Hammer spread outwards, tearing the eighteenth layer of the Netherworld to shreds. Updates are released by N0veI.Fiɾe.net

The battle between the two persisted for an exceedingly long time.

Yu Yuan was not in a hurry at all; he was merely using Minghe Ancestor, a formidable foe, to temper his physical body. On the contrary, Minghe Ancestor became more and more impatient.

What kind of deal had Donghuang Taiyi really offered to make a proud character like Minghe Ancestor so willing to work for him?

Yu Yuan asked out of curiosity, but Minghe Ancestor remained silent, obviously not wanting outsiders to know.

Minghe Ancestor held Yuan Tu and Avici, the two supreme Divine Swords, his expression cold and ruthless, heavy with killing intent.

His Sword of Killing could split space in an instant and destroy all things.

Yu Yuan relied on the Tianyuan Hammer to block those "deadly" attacks, the sound of metal clashing resounding continuously.

Minghe Ancestor's speed was so fast it could surpass light and shadow, and with endless Mana, every move he made was imbued with the force to annihilate heaven and earth.

At that instant, the atmosphere between heaven and earth solidified, and it seemed as though even time had halted.

"Daoist friend is indeed skilled!" Minghe Ancestor sneered, "But today, the only victor shall be me!"

With that, he flicked a blood pearl from his hand.

Suddenly, the sky changed color, and blood light radiated in all directions.

That blood pearl swelled as soon as it met the wind, turning into a vast and boundless crimson ocean within the eighteenth layer of the Netherworld.

Immediately after, tall blood-colored figures emerged from the blood-red ocean.

Yu Yuan frowned as he looked over, only to see that the blood-red ocean was densely packed with blood-red figures.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that all these figures were identical to Minghe Ancestor, except they were all shrouded in a thick scarlet blood light, making them look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Yu Yuan's complexion subtly changed.

He remembered an ultimate move attributed to the legend of Minghe Ancestor—Transforming into thousands!

According to the legend, Minghe Ancestor used the essence of the Blood Sea to refine external incarnations, known as Blood God Children.

Each of his Blood God Children had the Dao Xing of Golden Immortals and above.

To someone like Yu Yuan, a Quasi-Saint with great power, the Golden Immortal Dao was naturally insignificant, but the number of these Blood God Children was far too great, amounting to forty-eight million!
