Final Battle (14)

"This unworthy disciple has failed to uphold the integrity of the sect and has been forced into this situation. I beg the Ancestral Master's forgiveness!"

The Daoist Taiyi's face was full of shame, and the elders and disciples behind him also looked ashamed.

"It's alright. The ebb and flow of the tides are the natural order of things. Once we get through this ordeal, we can encourage ourselves to change and strive for improvement." Looking at the disciples and followers kneeling below, a gentle smile appeared on the usually cold and hard face of the Eastern King Old Ancestor. He gently lifted one hand to help them up.

Then, his expression turned cold. He turned around, looked at the army of the Lu Wu Realm below, and sneered, "Dare to invade my territory? Then you shall experience the cycle of Reincarnation!"

After speaking, the Eastern King Old Ancestor Fly-Whisk, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth instantly boiled, transforming into a thunderous Thunder Qilin roaring to the sky with a deafening Lei Ming.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Thunder Dao, the Great Dao cultivated by our ancestor—I never imagined I would witness it with my own eyes in my lifetime. I have no regrets in this life!"

The disciples of the Eastern King Sect below were completely mesmerized, muttering to themselves in disbelief.

"Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, comprehend the ancestral master's excellent methods. If you gain any insight, it will be enough for you to benefit endlessly!" Daoist Taiyi scolded.

He then took the lead, sat cross-legged, looked up at the sky, and quietly began to contemplate, as if the appearance of the Eastern King Old Ancestor had completely put his mind at ease about the battle.

"All troops on high alert!"

Unlike Daoist Taiyi and the others, Yang Xuanwu had a solemn expression. He had only recently advanced to the Void Refinement, and even with his extraordinary talent, he had no chance of fighting against the Eastern King Old Ancestor.

It should be understood that the Late Stage's cultivation progresses, the more difficult it becomes to challenge those of higher levels, let alone when facing a living Immortals and Gods. Which immortal who has cultivated to become one is not exceptionally talented and possesses unparalleled abilities?

With Yang Xuanwu's command, more than a dozen Void Refinement Legions began to prepare for battle. Defensive Military Formations were activated at full power, condensing into Xuanwu Divine Beasts that roared to the sky while stepping on the boundless Xuanming Water.

Roar!!

The Thunder Qilin roared as it swooped down, thunder rumbling and crackling all around it.

With a deafening roar, the Thunder Qilin and the Xuanwu Divine Beast clashed, unleashing a terrifying Storm of Spiritual Qi that swept across the sky. Accompanied by muffled groans, over 20% of the soldiers were severely injured on the spot.

Seeing this, Yang Xuanwu frowned deeply. The Eastern King Old Ancestor did the same.

"I underestimated you youngsters. I never expected that there would be anyone in this Middle Thousand Realms who could deduce Defensive Formations to such a level."

"Unfortunately, before absolute power, everything else is insignificant!"

After speaking, the Eastern King Old Ancestor waved his Fly-Whisk again, and three Thunder Qilins appeared in the sky.

Seeing this, many soldiers turned slightly pale, but they did not retreat a step. They were trained by their Lineage and from the day they joined the legion, they were prepared to die on the battlefield for their Lineage.

Just then, the Spatial Fluctuations, and a colossal creature emerged from the void. At the bow of the ship, Yang Tianyou, dressed in Purple Robes, fluttered in the wind, a long sword in his hand humming incessantly, as if yearning for an opponent.

Twin Blades, it's been far too long since they've drunk blood!!

"Hmm?" The Eastern King Old Ancestor looked at Yang Tianyou and immediately felt an extremely strong sense of danger. But how could this be? Even though he was only one ten-thousandth of his strength because of the lower realm, he was still not someone that an Early Void Refinement could deal with. Even if it was Late Stage Void Refinement cultivator, it wouldn't take much effort to crush him.

"Is my senses wrong?... No!! This kid..." The Old Ancestor the Eastern King Sect was suddenly startled, his hair and beard standing on end. He looked at Yang Tianyou, who was slowly slashing out with his sword, as if facing a formidable enemy. The Eastern King Old Ancestor Sect had only ever felt that overwhelming sense of crisis from his enemies in the Immortal Realm.

"I have a sword, please appraise it, senior!!" Yang Tianyou said loudly, his voice, though not particularly loud, strangely suppressed the continuous booming of Thunder.

"Reincarnation Blade!!"

As the longsword was wielded, six dark holes appeared in the Firmament, and the Great Dao meaning of the Great Life-and-Death Wheel instantly filled the entire world.

"What? It's actually the Way of Reincarnation!" The Eastern King Old Ancestor couldn't believe it, and then he was on high alert. No matter how this kid in front of him cultivated the Reincarnation Divine Ability, once he mastered it, he mastered it. If he wasn't careful, he might really capsize in a ditch.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Thunder Dao!!"

The Eastern King Old Ancestor was no longer as nonchalant as before. After concentrating, his body suddenly began to become illusory. This was due to the excessive extraction of his power. Ultimately, it was just a projection of power, far less reassuring and comfortable than Fleshly Body.

Rumble!!

As the Eastern King Old Ancestor exerted his full power, lifelike Thunder beast shadows, imbued with the aura of Divine Beasts, appeared in the sky.

"Cut!!"

"Go!!"

The two unleashed their power simultaneously, and the Reincarnation Black Hole and the Myriad Beasts Thunder collided fiercely.

Unexpectedly, there were no violent fluctuations in Spiritual Qi; everything was calm. The Myriad Beasts Qilin plunged straight into the Reincarnation Black Hole, causing the originally stable black hole to tremble violently.

The True Intention of Reincarnation is not about head-on confrontation, but rather an extremely terrifying force of attrition. This is quite similar to the Life-and-Death Blade that Yang Tianyou created before. The reason he was able to create this Divine Ability in just a few months was twofold: firstly, he had the existing Miniature Reincarnation in the Great White Realm as a reference, and secondly, he had the experience accumulated from creating the Life-and-Death Blade before.

As time passed, Yang Tianyou and the Eastern King Sect Old Ancestor were in increasingly worse condition. Maintaining their Divine Ability required a tremendous amount of energy, especially their killing Divine Ability, which were a test of their will and physique with each use.

On the other side, seeing Yang Tianyou and the Eastern King Sect Old Ancestor fighting to a standstill, the Yang Household family was naturally overjoyed and their morale soared, while the Eastern King Sect was dumbfounded and looked utterly hopeless.

They never imagined that a cultivator could withstand the direct attack of their Immortals and Gods Old Ancestor, and it seemed that he was not at a disadvantage.

"It's all fate and destiny. My Nine Phoenix Realm has wantonly swallowed up other realms. Now, the cycle of Karma has come full circle, so I can't blame anyone else!" At this moment, Daoist Taiyi became calm, as if he had taken life and death lightly and was already prepared to die with his sect.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Eastern King Old Ancestor suddenly withdrew his supernatural Divine Ability, making his already transparent body even more shaky.

"Young friend, please hold your hand! My Eastern King Sect is willing to submit to you. I hope you will spare my disciples and followers for the sake of this old Daoist. We will surely repay you handsomely when we meet again in the Immortal Realm!"

The words of the Eastern King Old Ancestor not only surprised Yang Tianyou, but also left Daoist Taiyi and the others dumbfounded. This is not right. Their ancestor was known for his fierce and violent nature. How could he possibly say something like surrender? We must have misheard.

However, the Eastern King Old Ancestor's subsequent inquiry finally brought them back to reality.

Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of his disciples and followers, the Eastern King Old Ancestor shook his head inwardly, "Even immortals bow their heads when under someone's roof!"

I was indeed short-tempered when I was young, but tens of thousands of years have passed, and the conflicts in the Immortal Realm have long since smoothed out my rough edges.

Even in the Immortal Realm, I still have a reputation as a kind-hearted person.
