Identity
The term Weird Ancestor refers to the Sacrifice Dao-level progenitors and ultimate foundation of the Weird Race. Weird Immortal Emperors regard them as legendary origins of their race and prostrate themselves before them. 230
The Weird Race was initially believed to possess eight Ancestors, but two additional dormant Ancestors awakened in the Calamity Land, confirming a total of ten. 328
Appearance
Weird Ancestors manifest as colossal, ancient, and decaying figures whose presence destabilizes reality. Their forms differ between individuals, but each is associated with an ancient coffin and dense Weird Substance. 230 235
- Colossal dark or emaciated humanoid figures capable of dwarfing worlds. 230 329
- Coffin-shaped shadows or materialized ancient coffins follow behind them. 230 232
- Black Blood, red fur, beast-like hands, gray mist, black branches, or corpse-like decay appear across different Ancestors. 230 235 320 335
- One documented Ancestor wore tattered armor stained with dried Immortal Emperor blood and wept black blood from its eyes. 235
- Their arrival is commonly accompanied by blood-red lightning, black rain, and abrasive ancient music likened to grinding stone slabs or colliding universes. 235 320
Personality
The Ancestors are cold, calculating, and ruthlessly preservationist. They treat powerful opponents—including Haotian, Desolate, and Ye Tiandi—as “variables” whose existence must be erased before they can threaten the Weird Race's eternal dominance. 328 329 332
They are also greedy for power beyond their own realm. After the Chaos Bell resisted a Sacrifice Dao attack, the Ancestors sought to seize it, believing it might be connected to a realm above Sacrifice Dao. 235 237
Despite their arrogance and claims of inevitability, they adapt when threatened: summoning additional Ancestors, attacking in coordinated groups, merging their strength, and ultimately sacrificing their own lives in an attempt to eliminate Ying Hao. 234 235 351 352
Abilities & Skills
Sacrifice Dao Cultivation
Each Weird Ancestor stands beyond the Immortal Emperor realm at the Sacrifice Dao level, creating an overwhelming gap in life level between itself and ordinary cultivators. 230
- Their aura alone can fracture the void, boil or sever the River of Time, shatter Great Daos, and destabilize the Myriad Worlds. 230 235
- Their presence suppresses weaker beings so severely that many instinctively kneel or undergo physical and Dao-level collapse. 230 320 330
- A casual strike can erase rules, destroy powerful cultivators, and devastate entire worlds. 321
- Their power can be contested by Sacrifice Dao opponents or by Ying Hao's supreme treasures, particularly the Chaos Bell and Jade Plate of Creation. 232 349 352
Primal Weird Substance
The Ancestors emit the earliest and most primal Weird Substance, which assimilates and corrupts everything around them. 230
- Causes wounds to bleed Black Blood and bodies to grow red fur. 230
- Cracks cultivated paths and Great Daos, potentially causing them to collapse. 230
- Devours time, space, and ordinary forms of contact without visible disturbance. 230
- Strengthens nearby Weird Immortal Emperors through aura-based assimilation. 230
Ancient Coffins
Each Ancestor possesses an ancient coffin that functions as a source of enhancement and Weird Substance. 232 334
- Releases mist, ashes, and other mysterious substances that empower the Ancestors. 234 235 334
- Can restore an Ancestor's damaged body and weapon. 234
- One coffin was described as decaying yet full of life, covered in branches whose leaves each contained a complete universe and starry sky. 232
- The Plateau can revive a slain Ancestor, though Ying Hao's Jade Plate of Creation was able to annihilate one so completely that even the Plateau could not restore it. 239 328 349
Veil of Heaven Great Hand
A documented Weird Ancestor technique manifests as a vast hand infused with Weird Substance. 232
- Reverses surrounding time and disrupts the River of Time. 232
- Can cross time and ancient history to tear apart the Yang World. 320
- Its destructive force was blocked and annihilated by Ying Hao's Chaos Bell. 232
Ancestor Weapons and Combat Arts
Different Ancestors wield distinct weapons formed from or empowered by their coffins and Weird Substance. 233 235
- Ancestor Great Sword — severed the River of Time and was used in World-Shaking Strikes against Ying Hao. 233 234
- Iron Halberd — split universes and annihilated surrounding Dao order. 235
- Heavy Greatsword — used alongside the Iron Halberd in a two-Ancestor assault. 235
- Black mace — wielded after several Ancestors fused into a single entity. 251 351
- Withered branches — an Ancestor's body produced branches capable of devouring everything in their path. 335
Collective Warfare
The Ancestors compensate for individual setbacks through overwhelming coordination and numerical superiority. 235 330
- Two Ancestors jointly attacked Ying Hao with the Iron Halberd and Heavy Greatsword. 235
- Three Ancestors pursued Ying Hao after the Chaos Bell successfully resisted two of them. 238 243
- Ten Ancestors emerged together to destroy Haotian, Desolate, Ye Tiandi, and the Myriad Worlds. 330 332
- Eight remaining Ancestors combined their power and self-detonated in a final attempt to annihilate Ying Hao. 352
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Ancient Coffin — personal coffin connected to an Ancestor's power, recovery, and enhancement. 232 234
- Ancestor Great Sword — a heavy sword capable of severing the River of Time. 233
- Iron Halberd — weapon of an armored Ancestor; stained with Immortal Emperor blood. 235
- Heavy Greatsword — mist-forged weapon used by a second Ancestor. 235
- Black Mace — weapon used by a fused Ancestor entity. 251 351
Relationships
- Weird Immortal Emperors — followers and subordinates; they worship the Ancestors as the origin of their race and gain strength from their aura. 230
- Ying Hao / Haotian the Great Emperor — principal enemy and feared “variable”; the Ancestors seek both his death and his supreme treasures, especially the Chaos Bell and Jade Plate of Creation. 235 328 349
- Desolate Heaven Emperor — ancient adversary whose continued resistance helped establish the Ancestors’ fear of emerging variables. 258 329 332
- Ye Fan / Ye Tiandi — Sacrifice Dao opponent who killed one Ancestor during a joint trap arranged with Haotian. 322 323 324
- The Empress — target of a coordinated attempt to prevent her breakthrough into the Sacrifice Dao realm. 334 335
- Corpse Immortal Emperor — resisted an Ancestor's assault on the Yang World but was gradually injured and overwhelmed. 321
Story Role / Major Arcs
Descent Above the Heavens
A Weird Ancestor descends above the River of Time after the Weird Race's Immortal Emperors are pressured by Ying Hao. Its aura nearly collapses Above the Heavens and the River of Time, while its primal Weird Substance corrupts life across the Myriad Worlds. 230
The Ancestor initially underestimates Ying Hao as an Immortal Emperor, but the Chaos Bell blocks the Veil of Heaven Great Hand and later injures the Ancestor directly. 232 233 234
Pursuit of the Chaos Bell
After being injured, the first Ancestor calls for reinforcements. A second and then a third Weird Ancestor descend, each drawn by the Chaos Bell's ability to contend with Sacrifice Dao experts. 234 235 237
The Ancestors pursue Ying Hao through time and space, intending to seize the bell and later destroy the Immortal Realm to force him into the open. 238 243
Assault on the Yang World
Another Weird Ancestor descends upon the Yang World, declaring that its inhabitants must be destroyed before returning Heavenly Emperors can become a greater threat. Its giant hand tears into the world until the Corpse Immortal Emperor and then Ye Fan intervene. 320 321 322
The Ancestor attempts to stall Ye Fan for reinforcements, unaware that Ye Fan and Haotian had deliberately lured it out. Ye Fan kills it with the Heavenly Emperor Fist while Haotian's Chaos Bell cuts its connection to the Plateau. 322 323 324
Revelation of the Ten Ancestors
The slain Ancestor later returns from the Plateau. Two previously unknown Ancestors awaken, revealing that the Weird Race possesses ten Ancestors rather than eight. 328
All ten emerge to eradicate Haotian, Desolate, Ye Tiandi, and every other threat across ancient history. 329 330 332
Final Battle Against Haotian
The Ancestors attempt to stop the Empress from entering Sacrifice Dao, but fail after she completes her breakthrough. 334 335 336
Ying Hao later uses the Chaos Bell, Taiji Diagram, and Jade Plate of Creation to annihilate two Ancestors, including one whose destruction cannot be reversed by the Plateau. 349 350
With eight remaining, the Ancestors combine their strength and self-detonate to kill Ying Hao. He survives by reforming after the attack. 351 352
