Yu Congzhang had thought he could trade his life for Chen Fei's, but in that moment, he had forgotten that Chen Fei wielded the time subordinate rule.
Or perhaps Yu Congzhang remembered, but he had no other choice left.
Chen Fei had comprehended a time subordinate rule fragment, possessed ninth-order power, and even had a physique that had reached the ninth order.
Faced with all of that, Yu Congzhang had only a desperate fight to the death left to him. Yet in the end, he never even got that chance before Chen Fei froze him in place with Time Stagnation.
With time frozen, Chen Fei saw exactly where Yu Congzhang had hidden those Yu Clan phantoms.
Chen Fei did not need to slay the Yu Clan phantoms one sword stroke at a time. He only needed to shatter that special node within Yu Congzhang's body, and everything would end.
"I only wanted to restore the Yu Clan's glory! I only wanted a little justice! Why treat me like this? Heaven has wronged me! Heaven has wronged me!"
The screams tore from Yu Congzhang's mouth. Slowly, he stopped struggling and sank to his knees in midair.
Vitality seeped out of Yu Congzhang's phantom. The scene before his eyes began to blur as boundless darkness closed in.
"Zhang'er..."

Yu Congzhang stared blankly ahead, slowly raising his right hand as though trying to grasp something. But in the next instant, his entire phantom began to crumble and vanished in midair.
The entire secret realm trembled slightly. With the last member of the Yu Clan gone, the trace that Dao Ancestor had left within this secret realm disappeared
