Suppressing the Two Ancestors
The cold, indifferent voice was like a chilling wind blowing across the land that had finally reaped a harvest after spring, summer, and autumn, leaving everything withered and desolate.
The growth and harvest of life may take three seasons to complete the entire process.
But destruction only takes a season!
This is the natural cycle, and also part of the way of Heavenly Dao!
In front of everyone, the Mountain Ancestor sacrificed all the cultivators who had just been teleported into the phantom of the divine mountain.
Some of them were cultivators under the command of the Sea Ancestor, whom she was unable to rescue in time; most of them were generals under the command of the Mountain Ancestor.
Even Gong Heavenly Dao, the sect leader of Zhoushan Immortal Sect and the number one person below the Mountain Ancestor, was not spared by the Mountain Ancestor.
The Mountain Ancestor actually sacrificed all his subordinates to the phantom of the divine mountain, a scene that left everyone stunned!
In particular, the army under Ning Qi, including Sword Ancestor, and the cultivators under Sea Ancestor, such as Zhao Yujun, who were not teleported by Gong Heavenly Dao with Ning Qi's help, all paled.
They had been wondering what Gong Heavenly Dao wanted to do with them at the Mountain Ancestor's place, but this scene revealed the answer.
The Mountain Ancestor actually harbored the intention to kill all cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm!
What's even more ridiculous is that Gong Heavenly Dao obeyed the Mountain Ancestor, never expecting that he himself would be ruthlessly sacrificed by the Mountain Ancestor. It can be said that he died at the hands of the person he had always served, and his death was utterly meaningless.
Their blood turned into crimson snowflakes, drifting within the illusory image of the sacred mountain.
The flying snow gradually merged into the entire phantom of the sacred mountain, casting a faint red glow over the entire phantom of Mount Buzhou, adding a touch of eeriness.
"Haoshan, are you crazy? What are you trying to do?"
Hai Zu questioned him with unusually agitated emotions.
She thought she had gone crazy enough, having spent years trying to harness the power of the Boundary Sea and integrate it into her body.
Compared to the Mountain Ancestor who has truly revealed her cruel side, she is nothing more than a naive person who hurts herself.
How could her madness compare to that of the Mountain Ancestor, who didn't even spare his own people?
The Mountain Ancestor remained suspended within the illusory image of Mount Buzhou, his expression indifferent and his face utterly expressionless.
What's most captivating is the unwavering yet confident gleam reflected in his eyes.
He is the strongest being in both realms, and he will become the sole victor in this war of spirits. He will break through his current limitations and enter a brand new realm.
For this goal, the Mountain Ancestor waited for countless millennia.
During this period, he tolerated Hai Zu, who constantly challenged his position, which led to the division of the Mountain and Sea Realm into two parts.
The Mountain Ancestor smiled faintly and glanced at the Sea Ancestor with disdain.
He said, "My dear junior sister, don't you really understand what I'm doing?"
Hai Zu paused, recalling what the Holy Ancestor had just said.
She might understand what Bai Shan was trying to do, but she stubbornly refused to believe it.
The Holy Ancestor, however, narrowed his eyes slightly.
He also felt extremely pained when he encountered someone with the same personality as those supreme powerhouses recorded in history books.
If this kind of guy wins the final victory, don't expect the Vast Realm to survive.
Didn't you see they weren't even sparing their own people?
How can someone who's so cruel to his own people possibly be any better to the Haoran Realm?
The Holy Ancestor considered things more deeply.
The fact that the Mountain Ancestor did these things in front of them must not have been a spur-of-the-moment decision, or perhaps it was due to his bloodthirsty nature.
This only proves one thing: the Mountain Ancestor had absolutely made all the preparations, otherwise there would have been no need to sacrifice his own people from the very beginning.
He could only have done this because he firmly believed he would win and felt that his subordinates were of no help to him.
So...
The Holy Ancestor gazed at the entire illusory image of Mount Buzhou.
What exactly led Shanzu to make this decision, and what did he intend to do?
At this moment, the illusory image of Mount Buzhou has occupied two-thirds of the war domain, and it is constantly emitting a terrifying suction force, drawing energy from the surrounding area.
Countless Spiritual Qi and the power of rules converged on the illusory image of Mount Buzhou, just like rivers flowing into the sea, causing the illusory image of Mount Buzhou to expand even faster and larger.
The Holy Ancestor suddenly said, "You know propriety!"
Suddenly, a phantom appeared beside him; it was the will of the Vast Realm.
"Teacher, what can I do for you?"
"Can we stop the flow of these energies?" the Holy Ancestor asked.
The illusory image of the Vast Realm's will shook its head and replied:
"Teacher, I tried to stop that guy when he started absorbing the power of the War Domain, but I couldn't."
The Holy Ancestor frowned, "How could this be?"
"Teacher, the phantom of the divine mountain he summoned seems to possess a special power that can absorb the power of the world. Moreover, I sense that its original level was far above that of the Spirit Realm."
The Holy Ancestor did not doubt this statement.
According to the information he obtained about Mount Buzhou from the Ancient Sacred Map, Mount Buzhou was the only place in High Antiquity that connected to the Heavenly Realm, and its level was naturally far superior to the current Spirit Realm.
Hai Zu, who was nearby, naturally overheard their conversation.
I'll give it a try!
Her expression was icy, yet she now stood with the Holy Ancestor.
After the Mountain Ancestor shed his disguise and sacrificed so many cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realms, the Sea Ancestor realized that this war in the Spirit Realm had evolved into a struggle for the Great Dao.
This war in the spirit world will never be a victory for the Mountain and Sea Realm over the Vast Realm, or vice versa.
Whether the two realms can even exist now is probably unknown!
The Holy Ancestor's eyes lit up when he heard the Sea Ancestor's suggestion.
"It's worth a try, after all, you possess the power of the Boundary Sea."
Hai Zu nodded slightly.
Without further ado, she shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, even more gray energy surged around her, burning like flames on her body.
In the the Unseen, it seemed that the Sea Ancestor had broken through the barrier between the War Realm and the Boundary Sea, and countless energies from the Boundary Sea poured into this place.
Looking out, Ning Qi saw that outside the war zone, clusters of gray, leaden clouds were descending towards the war zone.
His clone had already witnessed the situation outside the world, so he knew that this was the energy of the relatively safe gray fog zone in the Boundary Sea.
Now that this energy has been summoned by the Sea Ancestor, it seems she intends to use the unstable energy of the Boundary Sea to interrupt the Mountain Ancestor's efforts to absorb energy using the phantom of the divine mountain.
Ning Qi, however, did not believe that success was possible.
Because he sensed that there was also a wisp of the energy of the Boundary Sea on the illusory image of Mount Buzhou, but it was well hidden by the Mountain Ancestor.
If Ning Qi hadn't fully integrated with the energy of the Boundary Sea, and if his clone hadn't witnessed the situation within the Boundary Sea, plus the assistance of the Saint Ancestor's trace of immortal aura, Ning Qi wouldn't have been able to understand it.
In the sky, large patches of gray, leaden clouds hung down.
From a distance, it looked as if heavenly soldiers and generals had descended.
Their appearance seemed to halt the flow of energy throughout the entire war zone.
The energy of the Boundary Sea was too violent and too chaotic. It was a force from outside the world. As soon as it entered the world, which was originally peaceful, it was like a dimensional attack, instantly suppressing the flowing energy.
For a time, it seemed to have joined the ranks of third-party forces within the realm of war.
The crowd could vaguely make out many terrifying figures within the gray clouds.
Those are all Fierce Beasts that live within the Boundary Sea. They cling to the boundary wall outside the War Zone, always wanting to break in.
Now that the Sea Ancestor has drawn upon the energy of the Boundary Sea, it has naturally caused them to also intrude into the War Zone.
They lurked within the gray clouds, their fierce eyes fixed on the crowd below, gleaming with greed.
They have finally returned to a world of peaceful energy!
To their surprise, everyone below acted as if they hadn't seen them at all; they simply passed over them and looked elsewhere.
The Sea Ancestor drew out about a hundred gray cloud energy spheres, each about a hundred feet in size, from within the Boundary Sea, and then stopped.
Her beautiful face was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
This was the first time she had ever extracted so much Boundary Sea energy since she first came into contact Boundary Sea Boundary Sea.
Although she is the Sea Ancestor, the ability to summon so much energy from the Boundary Sea has temporarily reached its limit for her.
She couldn't possibly use all her power to summon the energy of the Boundary Sea; she also needed to see if she could truly stop the Mountain Ancestor's actions.
Beside him, the Holy Ancestor and the will of the Vast Realm were also gazing at the Mountain Ancestor.
Both of them tacitly accepted that Hai Zu was now in the same boat as them, and had long since abandoned the idea of war between the two realms.
The Mountain Ancestor glanced lightly at the hundred-foot-long gray clouds that shrouded the war domain.
"Junior sister, this little bit of the Boundary Sea energy won't be enough to stop me. Why don't you bring in more?"
A contemptuous smile reappeared on Shan Zu's lips, making one want to punch him hard.
Unfortunately, he is now the one in control of the entire situation, and the most powerful person; even if everyone else is willing, they are powerless to change it.
"Go!"
Haizu was not provoked, but instead put his hands together in the same mudra.
Her slender, fair hands, like flowers, formed a beautiful hand seal.
"Haiyue Tide Tianbo!"
Suddenly, a huge full moon emerged from the hundred gray clouds of the Boundary Sea energy, each a hundred feet in size.
As soon as the full moon appeared, hundreds of gray clouds gathered and dispersed around it, rolling like ocean waves.
The Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts, who had just been looking down with greedy eyes, were now staring at the full moon in the center, their eyes turning blood red.
They seemed to be worshipping the moon, and the surrounding energy continuously poured into their bodies, making each one enormous.
The moonlight spilled down, filling the room with a gentle and serene beauty.
Under the manipulation of the Sea Ancestor, the energy of the Boundary Sea seemed to have truly become an ocean.
Those Fierce Beasts naturally became sea monsters.
All that could be heard was Hai Zu's soft shout again, "Go!"
The full moon in the sky spread its light like ocean waves, within which Fierce Beasts thrashed and roared, exuding murderous intent.
They all charged towards the Mountain Ancestor within the illusory image of the sacred mountain.
Rumble!
This scene, as everyone witnessed, was like the moon falling from the sky. The moon's shadow continued to grow larger, even making the illusory image of the Ancestor Lianshan's Mount Buzhou appear much smaller.
Ning Qi and the others were completely ignored at this moment; no one paid them any attention.
Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing and others stood closely behind Ning Qi, while Zhao Yujun and others also approached Ning Qi.
They can do nothing now, and are powerless to do anything but watch everything unfold.
Ning Qi continued to gaze, but seemed somewhat distracted.
Hai Zu's attack was destined to fail. Ning Qi had already contacted his Realm Lord body to see if he should head to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Now, the Mountain Ancestor has blocked the passage to the Mountain and Sea Realm with the phantom of the divine mountain. His reincarnated body certainly cannot lead everyone away from this place, nor can it enter the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Therefore, only the Realm Lord's true form can enter.
Ning Qi also wanted to see what exactly was happening within the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Although 80% of the cultivators entered the war zone to participate in the battle, 20% of the cultivators remained in the area. Of course, there were countless mortal beings as well.
Ning Qi had a bad feeling. If the Mountain Ancestor had already sacrificed Gong Heavenly Dao and others, did his blocking of the Mountain and Sea Realm mean that the Mountain and Sea Realm would also be sacrificed by him later?
However, he could still see that the Mountain and Sea Realm still existed, but Ning Qi couldn't be sure whether the cultivators within it were still alive.
He had not forgotten that the Xuanzhen Domain he had established after his reincarnation was still within the Mountain and Sea Realm, and that twenty percent of the cultivators remained there.
Ning Qi needs to send the Realm Lord's main body in first to rescue them, just in case!
Ahead, the moon hangs low, its soft light resembling rippling waves, creating layers of folds throughout the space.
The cultivators were filled with awe upon seeing this.
The supernatural Divine Ability that Hai Zu is using now are simply terrifying.
The cultivators who had reached the Dao Integration Realm felt it most clearly; they felt that if they were to come into contact with even a sliver of moonlight, they would likely be shattered to pieces.
They were suddenly enlightened, realizing that their supposedly formidable Dao Integration cultivation was nothing more than that.
It turns out that beyond this world lies another vast Boundary Sea, something they were unaware of.
The moonlight shone on the sacred mountain, pressing down relentlessly.
The gentle moonlight transformed into the sharpest blades of water, slicing away at the surface of the sacred mountain layer by layer.
Puff puff puff!
Although both are formed from energy, they act as if they have a physical substance.
Shan Zu gazed at the descending moon, a rare expression of admiration appearing on his face.
"My dear junior sister, I take back my previous contempt for you. You're not entirely useless; at least this Divine Ability ability of yours has some merit."
"Your idea of merging the sea and the moon to create the gentlest power in the world, using the softest to overcome the hardest, is quite good."
Although the phantom of the sacred mountain is being constantly reduced, the Mountain Ancestor continues to speak calmly and serenely within it.
"However, the weak are still the weak. Even if they possess some power, before true greatness, they are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree!"
The Mountain Ancestor suddenly roared, "The Heavenly Cycle Imprisons the World!"
His large hands also formed a strange Daoist seal.
He then joined his hands together, interlacing his fingertips to form a Law Seals shaped like a mountain peak.
Suddenly, the entire phantom of the sacred mountain emitted a "thump-thump" sound, just like a human heartbeat.
The phantom of the sacred mountain, which had just been diminished by the moonlight, instantly returned to normal.
Even more terrifying, the entire sacred mountain shook violently, instantly amplifying its impact and engulfing the Holy Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor, the moon hanging in the sky, and countless Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts!
Puff puff puff!
Blood blossoms bloomed once more.
The numerous Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts that had just been brandishing their claws were all annihilated and sacrificed.
The sacred mountain stands tall, with a crescent moon embedded in its peak.
The energy above the crescent moon was being continuously absorbed by the divine mountain, from which an even denser power of the Boundary Sea surged forth, deep and terrifying.
