The Old Ancestor Has Been Defeated, Great-Grandfather, Save Me!

In the forbidden area of the Shangguan Family, an old man with a full head of white hair and a weathered face sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed.

As the strongest asset of the Shangguan Family, what Shangguan Wengang needs to do is to climb one or two more steps forward, or at least live a little longer.

As long as he is alive, the Shangguan Family will be fine!

Therefore, Shangguan Wengang has not shown his face in public for nearly fifty years! Fortunately, the younger generation of the Shangguan Family is quite promising. The current patriarch, Shangguan Sen, has broken through to the Two-Star Dou Zong, which is enough to deter those ambitious small families in Northern Sun City.

Perhaps it was due to his clear mind that Shangguan Wengang successfully broke through to the Four Star Dou Zong thirty years ago.

However, no matter how much he honed his Dou Qi over the past thirty years, his progress has been quite limited.

Originally, he resigned from his position as head of the family because he wanted to be free from the heavy family affairs and focus on his cultivation.

However, when he truly calmed down and practiced diligently every day as he had in his youth, he discovered that he was no longer young.

Dou Zong powerhouse can completely preserve their youthful appearance through various means.

But many strong people are unwilling to do so.

Ultimately, it's because maintaining a youthful appearance makes them ignore their age and their physical condition.

In ancient times, many powerful individuals missed the opportunity to break through their life limits because they ignored their age.

Shangguan Wengang is a prime example of this.

The lifespan of Dou Zong is five hundred years. For Four Star Dou Zong, living to four hundred years old is considered a long life.

Shangguan Wengang is now over three hundred years old.

Time has stolen Shangguan Wengang's youthful physique, and his weakened Qi and Blood has left him with a deep sense of powerlessness every time Shangguan Wengang cultivates.

At this moment, Shangguan Wengang realized that if he wanted to take another step forward, he would have to rely on external forces to forcibly enhance his potential.

However, Northern Sun City has limited resources. His breakthrough to Dou Zong, then to the Four Star Dou Zong, and later his son Shangguan Sen's breakthrough to Dou Zong, have exhausted all the high-level resources accumulated by the Shangguan Family.

There is always a way out. In the Severed Realm Mountain Range north of Northern Sun City, a secret realm of Dou Zun Remains is suspected to have appeared.

In the first two openings, the Shangguan Family obtained sixth-grade Potential Spiritual Objects from them!

According to the reports from his children and grandchildren, a sixth-tier Potential Spiritual Objects is only the lowest-grade treasure in the secret realm.

Now, the Dou Zun Secret Realm has reopened.

Shangguan Wengang placed his hopes on the secret realm.

"I wonder if I can obtain a Seventh Order Potential Spiritual Objects this time?"

Having children and grandchildren still allows one to enjoy life. Shangguan Wengang no longer needs to show his face in public; he can simply stay at home and wait for his children and grandchildren to respectfully present him with treasures!

"In the end, I am the foundation of the family. As long as I stand, the Shangguan Family will stand!"

Shangguan Wengang leisurely brewed himself a pot of tea.

Just as I was about to take a couple of sips, I heard a sound coming from the Jade Pendant at my waist.

"Old Ancestor, save me!"

Shangguan Wengang frowned.

That voice belonged to his third grandson, Shangguan Song! It was Shangguan Song who led the Shangguan Family team in this Dou Zun Secret Realm expedition.

Shangguan Wengang slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"Which blind fool dares to covet my Potential Spiritual Objects!"

Shangguan Wengang vanished from the spot in an instant.

Eighty miles is not a long distance for a Dou Zong powerhouse who can Sky Tread on air.

Shangguan Wengang rushed towards the Dou Zun Secret Realm at almost the fastest speed.

At this moment, a Dou Zong expert was fighting above the Dou Zun Secret Realm, and a roar resounded through the sky:

"Whoever dares to harm my third grandson! I'll take his life!"

When the furious Shangguan Wengang approached, he was stunned to see the two fighting.

Gongsun Guan, the Old Ancestor of the Gongsun Family, was a powerful figure who was absolutely no weaker than Shangguan Wengang.

His level also reached the Four Star Dou Zong.

Gongsun Guan and Shangguan Wengang were old rivals, having fought countless times in their Zao Nian, with each side winning and losing.

But now, Shangguan Wengang saw his rival, whom he had fought for most of his life, being hacked to pieces and covered in blood in front of a young man wearing a bright red cloak.

The young man grabbed Gongsun Guan by the throat and slapped him in the abdomen.

Gongsun Guan let out a miserable cry, and his breath immediately went sluggish.

As the young man's gaze fell upon him and he grinned, Shangguan Wengang felt a chill run down his spine.

"I'm just taking a casual stroll, my friend."

Yang Shan had already activated the Three Thousand Thunder Movement to circle around behind Shangguan Wengang.

The Blood Roar Blade slashed down fiercely, seemingly with the force of a thousand pounds.

Despite having Protective Gang Qi, Shangguan Wengang appeared much more hunched over and almost lost his balance while flying.

Shangguan Wengang exclaimed in shock and anger, "Young friend, you..."

"You dare to call yourself my little friend?"

Yang Shan was just lamenting that he hadn't had enough of killing, Shangguan Wengang time!

What frustrated Yang Shan was that neither Gongsun Guan nor Shangguan Wengang were the Five Star Dou Zong with the "purple; rise" seal he remembered, but rather the Four Star Dou Zong with the Purple Word Seal.

Although the difference in level is only one star and the stats are only half a tier, the difference in attributes and actual combat is huge.

However, the version of Yang Shan's encounter with Gongsun Guan and Shangguan Wengang in his previous life is completely different from the current one.

If things had progressed normally, both Gongsun Guan and Shangguan Wengang should have improved their strength through the spiritual objects in the Dou Zun Secret Realm.

Yang Shan needs to deal with a 15% Realm Suppression when facing Four Star Dou Zong.

But True Lord Yang is an expert at playing against opponents of higher levels!

Even at the Dou Emperor, he could defeat the Seventh Order King of Beasts.

He has now become Dou Zong, and his attack, speed, and Dou Qi Intensity have all reached the Five Colors level!

What's more, Yang Shan has just obtained the high-grade Earth-rank "Tyrant Blade"! A Four Star Dou Zong with Purple Word Seal on it would be a piece of cake for him, wouldn't he? It has to be said that this "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter" is indeed something else.

The feel of slashing is much smoother now! Even though the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning can't provide the full boost right now, with these seven layers of sword intent combined with the Blood Roar Blade, Yang Shan can still easily deal more than 20,000 points of damage.

In terms of the increase in "extra damage from Vitality Shield", in addition to the 50% increase from Blade Aura, Blood Roar Blade also provides an additional 20%!

In other words, when Yang Shan is dealing with defensive Dou Technique, his damage will soar to 35,000 points!

In version 3.0, as players have more and more ways to obtain Dou Technique, many players now possess defensive Dou Technique that are different from Dou Qi Armor.

Therefore, the Dou Qi Armor and the advanced version of the Protective Gang Qi have been weakened again, with the conversion rate of Dou Qi Intensity dropping directly from 20% to 10%!

The upper limit for the consumption of Dou Qi has also been changed to 15% of the total Dou Qi.

Then, the defensive quality of the Vitality Shield was enhanced, making the Vitality Shield linked to the panel defense value.

Previously, because the Vitality Shield was not included in the defense value, players with 1 point of Vitality Shield had the same defensive ability, regardless of what attribute they mainly focused on.

Now that defense stats are taken into account, players who focus on defense will have more room to maneuver! This is definitely a big victory for "turtle shell" players!

With each version update, Tian Yao Company continues to adjust the values, encouraging players to use more methods for defense and dodge, thereby increasing the diversity and unpredictability of the battles.

This forces players to carefully weigh whether to use their Dou Qi on offense or defense during battle.

The adjustments to the Dou Qi Armor have brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

However, for Yang Shan, this adjustment is definitely more beneficial than harmful! He doesn't rely much on his Dou Qi Armor to withstand attacks, and with his absolute speed advantage, Yang Shan usually chooses to dodge to deal with his opponent's attacks.

The weakening of the Dou Qi Armor is not only aimed at players, but at all living beings on the Dou Qi Continent.

Whether it's an NPC or a monster, they're all treated equally! In other words, starting with this version, it will be much easier for Yang Shan to break through an opponent's defenses!

This indirectly enhances Yang Shan's offensive capabilities, and even his potential for surpassing higher levels is significantly higher than in the previous version!

Take Shangguan Wengang in front of us, for example. He is a dignified Four Star Dou Zong with Fire Attribute, but his Protective Gang Qi Vitality Shield is only a little over 300,000.

Its defense is only 1,800 points.

Even with the 20% damage reduction from the Protective Gang Qi and the 15% attribute suppression, Yang Shan's slash still dealt over 20,000 damage! So, when Yang Shan swung the Blood Roar Blade, leaving afterimages, Shangguan Wengang recovered from his shock when his Vitality Shield had already lost 100,000 points.

"Your Excellency, please don't push your luck!"

After saying this, his Vitality Shield dropped by another 100,000.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Smash!

In just a couple of sentences, Yang Shan managed to wipe out 300,000 Vitality Shield!

Shangguan Wengang's total health points were barely over 100,000.

Yang Shan didn't even dare to use the "Hundred Twists Chaos" move from the "Tyrant Blade," for fear of Shangguan Wengang.

But Shangguan Wengang, true to his name, despite the obvious gap in skill, still insisted on going head-to-head with Yang Shan.

"Flame Light Shield!"

Shangguan Wengang unleashed a defensive Dou Qi that seemed barely passable, covering his body with a layer of fiery aura.

He then raised his hands high to the sky, and his Dou Qi transformed into raging flames that spread outwards.

"Thousand Stream Fire Blade!"

As Shangguan Wengang announced his Dou Technique, the hundred-foot-long flames instantly condensed into countless fiery blades.

Under Shangguan Wengang's control, these flaming blades weaved through the air, encircling Yang Shan.

Shangguan Wengang clapped his hands together and shouted, "Die!"

This is Shangguan Wengang's trump card, Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique. He once used this move to directly kill a Two-Star Dou Zong.

Yang Shan's attack was so powerful, his defense must be lacking! No matter how strong he is, he's still only One-Star Dou Zong! Does he really think the old master has no tricks up his sleeve? Gongsun Guan, that old bastard, is Earth Attribute Dou Zong. Although his defensive ability is outstanding, he can't withstand Yang Shan's attack.

In comparison, Gongsun Guan's attack could not pose a fatal threat to Yang Shan, so it is understandable that he was defeated by Yang Shan.

Shangguan Wengang is different! As Fire Attribute Dou Zong, he is far superior to Gongsun Guan in terms of offense! He will surely make Yang Shan hesitate to attack because of his weak defense! Shangguan Wengang, who thought his analysis was very logical, appeared very confident.

But the next second he saw a bright smile appear on Yang Shan's face.

Why is he still laughing?

Shangguan Wengang felt that something was wrong.

The next second, he was certain that his feeling was right.

Yang Shan is really acting strangely!

Yang Shan stood still, showing no intention of dodging, his Blood Roar Blade leaving a trail of afterimages.

Countless blade-like energy formed from Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning intertwined around Yang Shan's body.

In an instant, the area within a radius of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) had become the domain of the sword energy.

The fiery blades that attacked from Ba Fang vanished instantly upon touching Yang Shan's blade energy.

"Tyrant Blade" - Hundred Twists Chaos!

Yang Shan finally understood the concept of offense and defense being integrated.

Stepping into the "Hundred Twists Chaos" area will result in five times the damage per second from a full stack of sword intent attacks.

According to Yang Shan's current stats, this damage output reaches 103,057 points! And the defense cap of "Hundred Twists Chaos" is also this value! In other words, if the opponent does not unleash an attack with damage exceeding that of "Hundred Twists Chaos" within one second, it will be blocked by "Hundred Twists Chaos"!

Furthermore, according to this calculation method, "Hundred Twists Chaos" is not considered a defensive Dou Technique. Any effect that has additional damage to the Vitality Shield will not work on "Hundred Twists Chaos"! Although Shangguan Wengang's "Thousand Stream Fire Blade" does indeed have a thousand "fire blades" in the final form.

But this tactic is a "continuous" attack.

Although the fire blades came from Ba Fang, only about a hundred could reach the "Hundred Twists Chaos" range at the same time.

Even if a hundred fire blades attack in unison, the damage they can inflict is only about 20,000 points.

The attack duration of "Thousand Stream Fire Blade" reaches five seconds.

Based on this calculation, "Hundred Twists Chaos" needs to withstand the attack of two hundred fire blades per second, with a damage of around 40,000 points.

Shangguan Wengang could break through "Hundred Twists Chaos", then it would truly be a miracle!

"Hundred Twists Chaos" differs greatly from Protective Gang Qi in terms of defense.

In general, using "Hundred Twists Chaos" to deal with continuous Dou Technique, such as Su Yitang's "Connecting Cloud Tune" is a divine skill!

However, when dealing with explosive Dou Technique like "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler", "Hundred Twists Chaos" is not enough.

However, as a combination of offense and defense, "Hundred Twists Chaos" will definitely give the opponent a big surprise when fighting in close combat!

Because this move doesn't have a standard "Time Acceleration," as long as Yang Shan is willing to expend his Dou Qi, and he can swing the sword fast enough, and his brain issues the relevant instructions, he can use this move!

As expected of High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, all three moves have quite powerful effects.

Having tried the "Hundred Twists Chaos" method, Yang Shan was quite satisfied.

We can't really let Shangguan Wengang try the "Seven Slaughters," can we?

He doesn't deserve it! Seeing his Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique blocked so easily by Yang Shan, Shangguan Wengang finally remembered how the teacher taught him to write the word "despair" when he was young!

On the ground, Shangguan Song, the Three Young Masters Shangguan Family whose Dou Qi was sealed, went completely mad after seeing that the Old Ancestor of the Gongsun Family had been crippled and that his Old Ancestor was clearly in defeat.

"Ah! How could this be! Impossible! It can't be!"

Shangguan Song had been in this remote place, Northern Sun City, for too long, and his vision was limited. He thought that Dou Zun was just a legend, and that his Old Ancestor was the god! He never expected that his Old Ancestor would be played with by a young man.

What to do? What will happen to the Shangguan Family in the future? What will happen to Shangguan Song? Is he destined to become a lamb to the slaughter? The wise Shangguan Song suddenly realized that his Shangguan Family had been passed down for more than three generations.

Shangguan Wengang was his grandfather. If his grandfather's father was still alive, but like his grandfather, rarely showed himself, could he use the Jade Pendant in his hand to make contact? The Shangguan Family was on the verge of collapse; they had no choice but to try anything! Shangguan Song mustered his courage, raised the Jade Pendant again, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"My Old Ancestor has been defeated, my great-grandfather, save me!"

Hearing his third grandson shouting wildly while holding up the Jade Pendant as if he had gone mad, Shangguan Wengang was furious.

He no longer cared about maintaining his dignity as the Old Ancestor of the Shangguan Family. He pointed at Shangguan Song and shouted, "Damn you! You stupid thing, how dare you joke about my father! Shangguan Sen! You unfilial son, why didn't you paste this stupid thing on the wall back then!"
