The Ancestral Temple's End

"Has this day come for me too? Have I finally reached this point?" Yaoguang's body gradually turned into light.

Before his death, he seemed to have a sudden realization. The expression on his face was no longer as mad as before. He looked incredibly radiant and otherworldly, but there was an indescribable loneliness and sorrow that he could not hide.

"Boom!!"

Finally, with a deafening roar, the tall and slender body shattered, and five-colored divine blood splattered everywhere, dazzling yet also appearing tragically beautiful.

"Yaoguang was defeated; he couldn't stop the rise of the Overlord!!" Everyone sighed after reading Yaoguang's ending.

"Too strong... Why is he so strong?" Many peerless geniuses were disheartened. The power of the Yaoguang Saint Son had already exceeded their imagination, but Zhou Tong was even stronger!

They could all see clearly that although Zhou Tong was injured in this battle, it was by no means a serious injury. He could even recover quickly by simply sitting down and breathing for a while.

"We still haven't seen where his limit is, nor have we seen what his true trump card is. It's not time to fight him yet. We need to hold our brother back!" Huo Lin'er also felt a little regretful. She glanced at Huo Qilinzi, who was burning with fighting spirit, and was somewhat speechless.

My older brother is good in every way, except he's a little too stubborn!

Yaoguang's physical body was disintegrating, and the Chaos Qi that enveloped him instantly transformed into more than three thousand strands, each with a unique Dao Rhyme.

Within each wisp of primordial energy, a Dao principle manifests, and within it, figures faintly appear—the primordial Great Dao, the prodigies devoured by the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

"This time, you cannot be resurrected..." Zhou Tong said, looking at the thousands of wisps of Chaos Qi.

He devoured far too few sources of origin, only three thousand, which was far from meeting the standard for the true birth of Chaos Body. Even an incomplete Chaos Body could not possibly appear.

"Yaoguang, what a pity for such a prodigy! Like Hua Yunfei, he is another prodigy whose life was ruined by the Ruthless Great Emperor's lineage!" Zhou Tong felt a pang of regret.

Through this battle, he finally understood the ambiguity and contradictions surrounding Yaoguang.

Yaoguang's personality and temperament should have been as radiant as the Sun Emperor; but unfortunately, he was led astray by the Ruthless Great Emperor's lineage and became a rat in the gutter.

On one side is light, on the other is darkness, which created his fractured reality.

He desperately wanted to illuminate the darkness with his own light, but unfortunately, he lacked the ability and ultimately failed.

Just like his first battle with Ye Fan in the original work, he initially wanted to use his self-created Lightning Palm, which best suited his temperament and personality, to clash with Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Fist, but he was ultimately defeated.

His radiant path was shattered, and he could only plunge back into darkness, shattering the demonic body evolved from the Devouring Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, and then reshaping his Chaos Body with the Indestructible Heavenly Merit. From then on, he was no longer Yaoguang, but Chaos!

"However, Yaoguang, strength is strength and weakness is weakness... Your path was blocked by the Ruthless Great Emperor, and your desperate leap ended in failure, which shows that you are nothing special!" Zhou Tong said softly.

Throughout his life, Yaoguang was actually fighting against the Great Dao of the Ruthless Great Emperor. He wanted to break through the Great Dao of the Ruthless Great Emperor, but unfortunately, he was defeated in the end!

There's nothing to regret or lament about; all the setbacks are simply due to a lack of ability.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor was able to break through the suppression of the Emperor Venerable's Great Dao and achieve Dao; the Wu Shi the Great Wushi was able to break through the suppression of the Western Empress's Great Dao; Ye Fan in the original work was also able to break through the suppression of the Great Dao of several Supreme Beings.

The fact that Yaoguang could not break through the Ruthless Great Emperor's Dao, but instead became deeply entangled in it, only proves that he was nothing special.

"Approaching!!" Zhou Tong made his move once again.

This time, the Nine Secrets: Lin was used, and the countless Dao origins flying in the sky immediately surged into Zhou Tong's Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings like swallows returning to their nests.

These were all the origins that had been devoured by Yaoguang, so Zhou Tong naturally dared not take them into his body at will; but he didn't have so many concerns about putting them into the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

This thing might be able to accelerate the evolution within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

As these things entered the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, the Origin Qi instantly merged, and in that instant, a dazzling light illuminated the entire interior space of the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

However, in the end, it was all in vain. After the Origin Qi merged, it turned into a hazy Chaos Qi, and eventually everything evaporated.

"This feeling... seems to remind me of when I first watched Immortal Metal?" A strange thought couldn't help but surface in Zhou Tong's mind.

He had once used the Reincarnation Mirror to look at the resurrected Immortal Metal and saw many unfamiliar yet tragic pieces of information; now, this feeling seemed somewhat similar to that feeling.

"Is it Spirit Particle? Could it be that Yaoguang eventually turned into a Spirit Particle?" In that instant, Zhou Tong felt as if he had touched a tiny edge of the Pollen System of later generations.

Is this how the Pollen System came about?

Zhou Tong fell silent for a moment, as the contents of the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings were beyond his comprehension.

"Swoosh!", "Swoosh!", "Swoosh!", "Swoosh!"...

Just then, four voices suddenly broke Zhou Tong's thoughts. He glanced around and saw that the four Great Emperor Killing Formation Platforms that he had previously "suppressed" the Imperial Weapon were rapidly shattered. The four Imperial Weapon — Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, Primordial Gourd, Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd, and Golden Mace— suddenly unleashed their overwhelming immortal power, shattering the array platforms and the Small World, and soaring into the Spacebreaker.

"The Yaoguang Holy Land, the Primordial Lake, the Blood Phoenix Mountain, and the Golden Cave have already sensed the change in the Imperial Weapon and have begun to summon Imperial Weapon!" Zhou Tong said softly.

He knew that this array platform, which only had a corner of the Great Emperor Killing Formation engraved on it, could not possibly suppress the Imperial Weapon. It could be easily summoned away by the forces behind the Imperial Weapon.

To suppress Imperial Weapon, one must have at least a complete Great Emperor Formation Diagram or a complete Imperial Weapon.

"It's good that he's gone. Let's just end this matter at the Central Plains Ancestral Temple!" Zhou Tong took out the Chaos Green Lotus again, opened the seal on his body, and then sat down cross-legged.

"Boom!!"

Leiming roared within his body. The Thunder Tribulation that had propelled him to the Great Accomplishment King was still sealed within him, but Zhou Tong suppressed it using the Thunder Emperor Method and the Azure Emperor Weapon.

Now that Yaoguang is dead, it's the perfect time to begin completely refining these lightning bolts.

As the lightning was refined bit by bit, the Great Dao Laws within the Thunder Tribulation were imprinted, and every inch of Zhou Tong's flesh and blood shimmered with precious light, filled with power capable of obliterating any Dao Severing. He even felt that he could challenge a true Saint.

"I've reached the Paragon the King realm." Zhou Tong opened his eyes, stood up, broke through the restrictions on the Battle Island, and appeared in the Small World.

"The Big Black Dog actually sneaked away?" Zhou Tong scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately discovered that the Big Black Dog had already run away, leaving him speechless.

"You damn dog, you want me to cover your retreat?! Half of the battle platform is still on you, and you just run away like that? You dare to take advantage of me, you damn dog, just you wait, I'll make you pay double in the future!"

Zhou Tong cursed inwardly, but he didn't want to linger here any longer. He had already gotten everything he needed, and there was nothing left for him to care about.

Zhou Tong directly used the Azure Emperor Weapon to break through the thirty-six Small World of the Central Plains Ancestral Temple and disappeared from there.
