CHAPTER 915: CHAPTER 553: DISCUSSION, SLAYING ANCESTORS TO SEIZE FATE

The Taiyi Ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted, frantically burning his Essence Blood, attempting to summon the Divine Wheel for protection.

But the incomplete Ancestor Weapon was forcibly entangled by Sun-Eroding Cry’s domineering Martial Arts True Intent, unable to return in a short time.

"Daoist friend, please stay your hand!"

A short and urgent cry of despair, Chaos light engulfed the Taiyi Ancestor, his Protective Divine Light and Lifebound Dao Technique were fragile and could not withstand the power nearly as overwhelming as the might of heavens.

The Dharma Phase was suppressed, the Dao Source shattered, and the Heavenly Fate was extracted.

In just a moment, yet another Ancestor followed in Shan Han’s footsteps.

...

...

Almost simultaneously with the Taiyi Ancestor’s fall, the invisible Dao Laws in the depths of the Universe violently fluctuated.

Boom——

At this moment, the first ancient and mournful toll of the death bell had not completely dissipated, still reverberating between the minds of many Ancestors, reminding them of Shan Han’s demise.

"An Ancestor Realm has fallen?! Who is it? That fluctuation just now... was it the Shan Clan? Who moved against them?"

Countless powerful Divine Senses intertwined in the dark Universe, filled with surprise and disbelief. The fall of an Ancestor is a significant matter.

Boom——

Yet before the numerous Ancestors could calm themselves and deduce an explanation, a more muted yet mournful toll of the death bell exploded!

Its source, surprisingly pointing in the direction of the Taiyi Clan’s ancestral land.

This time, all Ancestors who perceived everything were no longer shocked, instead feeling a chill and fear that penetrated to the bones.

Another Ancestor had fallen, two in succession and in such short intervals!

This is absolutely no accident, nor a mere ordinary Dao rivalry slaughter!

This is a premeditated purge targeting the Ancestors. In no time, the whole Universe was filled with anxiety, every existence at the Ancient Ancestor level instinctively restrained their aura, strengthening their vigilance, and panic spread like a plague.

Soon, the events within the River of Space-Time fell into the eyes of many Ancestors.

"Sun-Eroding Cry!"

Reacting the most strongly was the Giant God Clan, currently the strongest in Heavenly Fate and power.

A terrifying Divine Sense containing rage and questioning crossed the Endless Star Domain like thunder, directly locking onto Sun-Eroding Cry who had just left the Taiyi ancestral star’s range.

"What are you trying to do?! Do you want to start an Ancestor conflict?! Does your Martial Pavilion intend to be against the whole Universe?!"

The wrath of the Divine Clan Ancestor was justified; although the Shan Clan and Taiyi Clan were weak, each possessed half of Heaven’s Fortune.

If these two portions of Heaven’s Fortune were obtained by the Martial Pavilion, along with the one and a half they originally had, the Martial Pavilion would instantly hold two and a half portions of Heaven’s Fortune, along with Zheng Chu, that makes three!

This would severely threaten the advantage the Giant God Clan had just established.

Facing this questioning filled with boundless fury, Sun-Eroding Cry’s expression remained terrifyingly calm.

He did not even look towards the direction the Divine Sense came from, only responded lightly, his voice clearly resonating in the ears of many Ancestors:

"I did nothing."

"It was Zheng Chu who did the killing, Zheng Chu who took the Heavenly Fate, what does it have to do with my Martial Pavilion?"

With those words, he cut off the connection with that Divine Sense, exchanged a glance with Chu Zheng whose aura beside him was growing more mysterious, and without hesitation, they transformed into streams of light, disappearing into the Star Sea.

...

...

At the Cosmic Edge, those ten beams of light seemed to support the Universe, still silently standing, exuding an ancient and unchanging desolation and deathly stillness.

However, this expanse, which should only contain void and silence, was at this moment filled with invisible panic.

The mournful waves from the demise bells of the two fallen Ancestors seemed to still reverberate in this barren Star Domain, striking the hearts of every ancient existence, causing uncontrollable fear.

This is no small matter, it signifies that the relatively stable Ancestor pattern since the collapse of the Heavenly Dao and the opening of the Dao war, has been violently shattered.

Today, it’s the Shan Clan and Taiyi Clan, and the next moment, that sharp blade of Heaven’s Fortune reaping could well hang over any one of their heads.

For a moment, the Ancestors who were wary of each other, their Divine Senses interweaving subtly and frequently in the void, besides inherent apprehension, an unprecedented intent of forming alliances sprouted due to the immense threat.

Previously, though they knew Zheng Chu had newly entered Ancestor Realm, most believed his foundations were unstable, merely a newborn ripple in the grand scheme, unlikely to pose substantial threat to those seasoned Ancestors.

But now it seems, this threat is not just immense, but fatal!

Having just stepped into Ancestor Realm, and already slaying two Ancestors in succession with thunderous means, such combat prowess is unheard of. If allowed to continue growing, devouring Heavenly Fate, in the future in this vast Universe, who could restrain him?

Especially since most of them had no camaraderie with this newly crowned God of Killing, possibly even having friction or enmity between their subordinated Taoist Orthodoxy in his early days.

This is even more dangerous, as no one can guarantee they won’t be the next name on that death list.

Invisible fear permeated the heart of every Ancestor.

The Shan Clan’s and Taiyi Clan’s ancestral lands fell into unprecedented panic and mourning.

The fall of their ancestors and loss of Heavenly Fate meant they fell from their high status as Ancient Clans, becoming powerless prey surrounded by predators.

Within the clans, hearts were uneasy, unable to face the day.

Under immense survival pressure, the remaining power holders of the two clans made the same decision without much hesitation, to seek the strongest protection at all costs.

And currently, the one with the deepest conflict with the ominous star Zheng Chu, almost completely irreconcilable, is the deep-rooted and powerful Immortal Court.

Only the Immortal Court might have the capability and motivation to confront Zheng Chu and the Martial Pavilion’s forces supporting him head-on.

Thus, shortly after the fall of the two Ancestors, two declarations of submission and allegiance crossed the Star Sea, presented before the Immortal Court’s Supreme Temple.

They were willing to integrate the whole clan into Immortal Court, only seeking its shelter.

The Immortal Court, too, was in turmoil due to this upheaval.

It was amid such turbulence and fluctuating hearts that, from deep within the Immortal Court, a newly-born yet incomparably pure and vast Ancestor Realm aura firmly stabilized, soared to the skies.

Yun Tianji has emerged from seclusion.

After entering the Ancestor Realm, he secluded himself for quite a while, stabilizing his cultivation and thoroughly integrating the Heavenly Fate, reaching a new height.

His aura was ethereal and lofty, yet deeply hidden an authority over all directions.

Upon emerging from seclusion and hearing the recent monumental changes shaking the Universe, especially Zheng Chu with Sun-Eroding Cry’s aid, slaying two Ancestors, seizing Heavenly Fate, and forcing Shan Clan and Taiyi Clan into submission to Immortal Court, his eyes suddenly turned extremely deep, with a chill seeping out that could nearly freeze surrounding Star Laws.

"Zheng Chu... Sun-Eroding Cry..."

He muttered coldly.

Zheng Chu was not unaware of the blood feud between himself and Sun-Eroding Cry, yet this result clearly showed he completely ignored him.

For a while, his mind surged with thoughts, eagerly wanting to see Zheng Chu and clarify his intentions.

If Zheng Chu indeed intends to sever ties, then perhaps he need not care for those few past sentiments.

...

...

As the Great Universe was in turmoil, another news that shook the Ten Thousand Races once again issued from the Giant God Clan’s ancestral land.

The one who had been dormant for countless Epochs, hailed as the unquestioned strongest in the current Great Universe, the Ancestor Blood Tea, stepped out from the deepest part of the Giant God Clan’s Chaos Nest.

His actions inherently resonated with the Universe’s rhythms, causing countless laws to tremble and resonate.

An indisputable decree containing supreme authority, immediately spread across the awareness of all Ancestor level existences:

"Let Zheng Chu, come to Divine Fire Star Cliff to see me."

The decree was brief, without threatening intent, nor any emotional fluctuation, yet carried an absolute will akin to a Heavenly Dao edict.

He was not inviting, but issuing a command that must be obeyed.

Divine Fire Star Cliff.

A barren land at the Cosmic Edge, also an ancient legend site where an ultimate battle among Supreme Beings occurred during the last Epoch renewal.

This decree is an invitation for Zheng Chu to come for a battle, to decide the future ownership of the Great Universe.

Blood Tea’s involvement heralds an impending storm, ready to explode atop the ancient Star Cliff burning with unextinguishable flames.
