The instant the Coffin Master's phantom appeared, the Plateau Will's power began to drain away, with a portion transferring to him.
All the Heavenly Emperors were Sacrificial Path cultivators, their strength unfathomable. They noticed this subtle change: there had to be some special connection between the Plateau Will and the Coffin Master.
Lin Xian carefully observed the phantom and slowly said, "As expected, there are the Ten Great Diseases. They are the origin of the Ancestors, corresponding to the ten kinds of Primordial Matter."
"Ten Ancestors, yet it summoned twelve."
Desolate Heaven Emperor frowned. This scene defied logic and shattered the fixed number.
"This is Beyond the Sacrificial Path."
Heavenly Emperor Ye murmured, "To speak of it is to err; to think of it is to fall into absurdity."
Trying to comprehend beings of Transcendence with the logic of the mortal world would only make those beings of Transcendence laugh.
"It is not a true being of Transcendence yet, only half a step Beyond the Sacrificial Path."
Chu Feng's formation was most closely linked to the Plateau, allowing him to clearly sense every change in every inch of that cursed land. Golden light burst from his eyes as he saw through the truth and said gravely, "The ten Ancestors are the original substances. The latter two Ancestors were born from the power it split off from itself."
"The number of twelve Ancestors surpassed a certain limit, breaking the Plateau's fixed fate and creating an anomaly that accidentally summoned the Ancient Underworld Lord's phantom."
The Coffin Master, the Ancient Underworld Lord, beings of Transcendence, the Red-Haired Monster—all pointed to one person.
Even as a mere phantom, his status was supreme, above the Ancestors. Most terrifyingly, the Plateau Will could not act, but the Coffin Master's phantom could!
"Kill!!!"
The twelve Ancestors
