The talismans and formation patterns around the Kun Shen Brush shattered instantly. The Qian Yuan Sword pressed the Kun Shen Brush back all the way to Sun Chenghou, then struck his body beneath his trembling gaze.
In that moment, Sun Chenghou truly understood the level of attack Du Shanjing had faced just now.
A sword strike like this was simply beyond what Dao Ancestors like them, possessing only one powerful heavenly dao, could withstand, even with formations laid out and every preparation made beforehand.
Even two Dao Ancestors surrounding Chen Fei and attacking him would not have changed the final outcome.
At most, the process might have been slightly more involved, proving that they had indeed resisted-only that their resistance had been utterly futile.
It was just like the Void Return Realm of old. No matter how ordinary ninth order peak cultivators gathered in groups, facing a Dao Ancestor-level powerhouse meant a one-sided slaughter.
Over time, every ninth order cultivator in the Void Return Realm had learned that Dao Ancestors could not be opposed by force. No matter how much other ninth order powerhouses did, nothing would change in the end.
Once they provoked a Dao Ancestor's wrath, the lighter consequence was their own death and the end of their cultivation; the heavier consequence was the extermination of their entire race.
Now, facing Chen Fei, Sun Chenghou felt pressure like the heavens collapsing upon him, impossible to withstand, impossible to escape!
"Buzzz!"
The Qian Yuan Sword cut through Sun Chenghou's body. The power of the powerful heavenly dao within him shook violently, trying to pull him back from this fatal crisis.
But Chen Fei used only the sharpness heavenly dao to suppress that backlash outright. The Qian Yuan Sword cut through without obstruction, reducing Sun Chenghou's body to a cloud
