It wasn't someone else it envied, but Ancestor Hongjun.

"If this Great God also had the cultivation of Half-step Dao Proving, and was within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, perhaps I could have also obtained some valuable treasures."

After the Three Clans' Hegemony, came the Dao-Demon Conflict, with the Four Great Ancestors battling Ancestor Luohu.

The one who benefited the most from this was Ancestor Hongjun. He searched the corpses of Ancestor Yin Yang and Ancestor Qian Kun, obtaining many treasures.

For example, the Innate Supreme Treasures like the Taiji Diagram, Qian Kun Cauldron, Qian Kun Fan, Qian Kun Diagram, Qian Kun Ruler, and the Qian Kun Four-Piece Set, as well as some other powerful treasures.

More importantly, Ancestor Hongjun defeated Ancestor Luohu and also took away the Zhu Xian Array Diagram and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

Bai Chen truly envied Ancestor Hongjun!

If it were given either the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation or the Innate Supreme Treasures of the Taiji Diagram and the Qian Kun Four-Piece Set, it would happily fly around Buzhou Mountain three times.

Ancestor Hongjun: Envy my ass. Do you know how badly I was screwed over by that demon, Luohu, later on?

The Great Karmic Debt generated from this forced me to abandon proving the Immortal Dao and instead prove the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Karmic Debt forced me to scatter my treasures. The treasures I picked up, like the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Taiji Diagram, and Qian Kun Four-Piece Set, were given away.

Even the other valuable treasures I painstakingly found myself were compensated one by one. A huge loss!

On their way back to the Dragon Clan's ancestral land in the East Sea, the Dragon Clan was finally cornered by the Four Great Guardians: Wang Hu, Jin Ao, Ming Jiao, and Jiao Ni.

"Ancestor Dragon, where do you think you're running? Surrender now!"

Wang Hu looked at the heavily injured Ancestor Dragon and couldn't help but mock him.

Ancestor Dragon, once the lord of the Dragon Clan, the lord of scales, was now like a stray dog. It was indeed hilarious.

"You damnable Fierce Beasts have gone too far!"

Ancestor Dragon was furious. He regretted it. Why didn't he completely exterminate the Fierce Beast clan back then, allowing some to escape?

If only half the small fish had escaped, it would be fine. But it just had to be the big fish, the Eight Great Beast Generals, who escaped.

Now, he, the Ancestor Dragon, was like a dragon stranded on a shoal, being bullied by shrimp!

Seeing the killing intent in Ancestor Dragon's eyes, Ying Long, who wanted to fight Wang Hu and the others, quickly gave instructions to the Five Dragon Kings:

"Five Dragon Kings, you escort the Patriarch and leave. I will hold off Wang Hu and the others with the Divine Dragon Kings."

Ying Long knew that Ancestor Dragon's injuries were severe and that he couldn't fight Wang Hu and the others in his current state.

He signaled the Five Dragon Kings to quickly drag Ancestor Dragon away, while he and the Divine Dragon Kings would cover their retreat.

Ancestor Dragon was the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, the backbone of the Dragon Clan, and thus absolutely could not be harmed.

Even if the Dragon Clan suffered a crushing defeat in the Western Primordial Era this time, as long as Ancestor Dragon, the backbone, remained, the Dragon Clan would have a chance to rise again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ancestor Dragon coughed, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood:

"Ying Long, you can't stop them."

Ancestor Dragon knew very well that if Ying Long and the Divine Dragon Kings were to cover the retreat, the only outcome would be that they would all be slaughtered by Wang Hu and the others.

Only by taking action himself could he repel Wang Hu and the others.

"Wang Hu, although I am heavily injured, I am not someone you Fierce Beasts can bully."

As Ancestor Dragon's voice fell, he transformed into his true form and attacked Wang Hu and the other four Fierce Beasts.

Ying Long and his group quickly moved forward to help, just in case anything unexpected happened to Ancestor Dragon.

While the Dragon Clan was being pursued by Wang Hu and the four Fierce Beasts, the Qilin Clan was not doing much better.

The Qilin Clan had also been caught up by Ri Biao and the other four Fierce Beasts. Currently, the First Qilin was also fighting against Ri Biao and them.

Within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the armies of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan had long since been annihilated. Only Ancestor Luohu, who was controlling the formation, and the four Ancestors, including Hongjun, remained.

Streams of sword energy continuously attacked Ancestor Hongjun and the other three, giving them no chance to breathe.

This made the four Ancestors very uncomfortable. They admitted they had been careless and hadn't expected Ancestor Luohu to possess such a killing move.

"Three fellow Daoists, is there a way to break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?"

Ancestor Yin Yang asked Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Qian Kun, and Ancestor Yang Mei, as they would be in dire straits without a method to break the formation.

After meditating for a long time, Ancestor Hongjun slowly spoke:

"Three fellow Daoists, as long as we simultaneously break through the four formation gates and take down the four fierce swords, the formation can be broken!"

Ancestor Hongjun had already secretly used the Jade Disk of Creation to analyze Ancestor Luohu's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

He had learned the secrets of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and also the method to break it.

Although Ancestor Hongjun revealed the method to break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, he did not mention some of the prerequisite conditions.

Because if those prerequisite conditions were revealed, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken, and he might even be killed by Ancestor Yang Mei and the other two.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the four of them were allies on the surface; they were actually all wary of each other.

Chapter 27 Yin Yang, Qian Kun, Self-Destruction! (Second Update)

Ancestor Hongjun's intuition told him that he especially needed to guard against Ancestor Yang Mei, as the latter controlled the Space Laws, making him extremely dangerous.

Moreover, Ancestor Hongjun had a vague intuition that Ancestor Yang Mei was different from himself, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Qian Kun.

The three of them were trapped within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and couldn't leave unless the formation was broken. Ancestor Yang Mei, however, should have a way to escape.

After Ancestor Hongjun and the other three great ancestors discussed it, they began to divide the work.

Ancestor Hongjun, riding the Twelve-petal Golden Merit Lotus and holding the Primordial Unity whisk, took the lead in attacking the Immortal-Slaying Sword Gate.

Ancestor Yin Yang unleashed the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, transforming it into a white jade golden bridge. The rest of his magical treasures floated around him as he primarily attacked the Immortal-Trapping Sword Gate.

Ancestor Qian Kun attacked the Absolute Immortal Sword Gate. He had the Qian Kun Cauldron above his head, the Qian Kun Fan in his left hand, and the Qian Kun Ruler in his right. The Qian Kun Diagram floated in front of his chest. He had brought out the entire Qian Kun Four-Piece Set.

Compared to the fully armed Ancestor Hongjun and the other two, Ancestor Yang Mei didn't make as many movements.

It wasn't that Ancestor Yang Mei didn't have magical treasures, but rather that such a situation didn't require them. He was confident that fighting bare-handed was enough.

Ancestor Yang Mei tore through space and instantly appeared before the Slaying Immortal Sword Gate, using his own Space Laws to resist the sword energy.

"Hahaha!"

Ancestor Luohu, standing on the Immortal-Slaying Array Platform, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"So what if you know how to break the formation? Do you really think you can break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation with your cultivation? Ridiculous!"

Ancestor Luohu formed hand seals, and yellow mist, bi feng, heavenly lightning, and earth fire erupted within the great formation.

Killing intent, malevolence, death energy, and resentment transformed into countless blades, spears, halberds, and swords, attacking Ancestor Hongjun and the other three.

"Taiji Diagram!"

"Qian Kun Cauldron!"

"Twelve-petal Golden Merit Lotus!"

Ancestor Yin Yang, Ancestor Qian Kun, and Ancestor Hongjun, seeing the formation's offensive power increase, quickly unleashed their magical treasures with all their might to resist.

Meanwhile, Ancestor Yang Mei formed a hand seal, and Space Laws enveloped him, preventing the Slaying Immortal Sword's attack from harming him in the slightest.

Ancestor Luohu watched as the Four Great Ancestors didn't fall and continued to hold their ground within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. He wasn't too surprised.

After all, if the four of them could be dealt with so easily, they wouldn't be worthy of the title of Chaos Demon Gods who governed laws.

"Your strength is not bad, but I wonder if you can withstand the might of the entire spiritual vein of the Western Primordial Era."

Ancestor Luohu's cold voice echoed as he again formed hand seals.

"Western Ancestral Vein Mount Sumeru, lend me your strength!"

The Zhu Xian Array Diagram immediately emitted divine light, connecting with Mount Sumeru, the Western Primordial Era's ancestral vein, and drawing upon the power of the entire Western Primordial Era's spiritual脉.

With the reinforcement of the Western Primordial Era's spiritual veins, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's power surged.

At the Immortal-Trapping Sword Gate, Ancestor Yin Yang's Taiji Diagram transformed into a million-zhang white jade golden bridge, resisting the Immortal-Trapping Sword's might.

However, as the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's power greatly increased, the Immortal-Trapping Sword's power also surged, its attacks becoming even more ferocious.

The white jade golden bridge rapidly shrank at a visible rate under the erosion of the sword energy, on the verge of being shattered at any moment.

"Three fellow Daoists, please lend this poor Daoist a hand!"

Ancestor Yin Yang was beginning to buckle and called out for help to Ancestor Yang Mei, Ancestor Hongjun, and Ancestor Qian Kun.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, we are also powerless!"

Ancestor Hongjun and the other two successively declined Ancestor Yin Yang's plea.

They were already struggling to protect themselves, so how could they spare the time to help Ancestor Yin Yang?

Furthermore, none of them knew if Ancestor Yin Yang had any backup plans or other means of self-preservation.

What if they saved Ancestor Yin Yang only to be betrayed by him?

"You damn scoundrels!"

Ancestor Yin Yang cursed them loudly, denouncing their unrighteous behavior.

Although the Taiji Diagram was an Innate Supreme Treasure and incredibly profound, Innate Supreme Treasures could only unleash their true power in the hands of those who had Proved the Dao.

With Ancestor Yin Yang's cultivation at Half-step Dao Proving, he couldn't unleash the Taiji Diagram's true might.

Even though the Taiji Diagram was an Innate Supreme Treasure, in Ancestor Yin Yang's hands, the defensive power it could unleash was extremely limited, even less than the Qian Kun Cauldron, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure primarily focused on defense.

It could be said that the Taiji Diagram in Ancestor Yin Yang's hands was completely wasted.

The current situation was that Ancestor Yin Yang had the weakest defense among the Four Great Ancestors, and therefore, he was the first to fall into a disadvantage.

Ancestor Yin Yang was furious. If he had a supreme treasure focused on defense, he wouldn't be in such a predicament.

"Yin Yang, die!"
