The scale, larger even than an Immortal King's Dharma manifestation, had clearly come from Kun Peng Dao Ancestor.
Ancestor Fish Fry, the Sea Waterfall, the Northern Dark Star Domain, the Kun Peng Ancestral Land, black fish scales-the full set of elements was right there.
This was also why Emperor Bone Brother had chosen the Sea Waterfall as his point of interaction when coming to Immortal Ancient, rather than the Land Connecting Past and Present. He wanted to see the Sea Waterfall and the Ancestor Fish Fry, and take the opportunity to see whether he could find any traces of Kun Peng Dao Ancestor.
As things stood, his conjecture had been correct. There were indeed traces of Kun Peng Dao Ancestor here.
Although the Ten Fiends' Dao Ancestors had all been shattered by the Immortal Emperor locked in a tug-of-war over Emperor Bone Brother's dark transformation back then, at the Dao Ancestor level, it was perfectly normal for a few lingering scraps to remain, dead but not entirely gone, so long as an Immortal Emperor had not deliberately erased them.
After all, when an End-of-the-Road Immortal Emperor fought a Dao Ancestor, any move was an instant kill. Naturally, there was a distinction between shattering and annihilating.
Annihilation meant reducing someone to nothingness, destroying them completely.
In any case, an end-of-the-road being dealt true damage to a Dao Ancestor. Even healing was a problem; once shattered enough, they naturally died. When someone of a higher realm fought someone of a lower realm, the mechanism that emerged at the Immortal King level, where peers could not erase one another in a short time, rarely came into play.

But it was only shattering. A mere fatal wound was still
