Han Xuanji used his divine sense to enter the inner space of the Great Dao Pagoda, where the environment was similar to the Sea of Great Dao Origins.
The runes of the Great Dao flowed across the sky, and the vast power of origin spread and gathered like a tide, forming an ocean. Every drop of water in this ocean carried the immense power of the Origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Those imprisoned there will not only be suppressed by the Origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but their own Great Dao power will also be eroded by this force.
Those who do not reach the level of Hunyuan Wuji will completely lose their Imperishable Undying being worn down.
Even those who reached the Peak Hunyuan Wuji, such as the Devil Ancestor and the Dragon Ancestor, were helpless against the immense power of the Origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos. After being suppressed, they could only have their power eroded and feel the threat of death.
"What kind of Law Treasure does he have...?"
The Dragon Ancestor was so overwhelmed by the power of origin that he couldn't help but let out a mournful howl, his voice filled with resentment and confusion:
"Why does such terrifying power exist, which even we, at the Hunyuan Wuji Perfection, cannot withstand...?"
As soon as they entered, they saw their former "fellow inmates," the renowned Spacetime Dao Ancestor.
As top-tier Chaos experts, their origins had been largely obliterated, leaving their figures ethereal and indistinct. Their aura was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, and their life force was nearly exhausted. They didn't even have the strength to communicate with them, clearly indicating that they were on their last legs.
Upon seeing the appearance of the Spacetime Dao Ancestor, even someone as resolute in his Dao heart as the Dragon Ancestor, who vowed never to surrender, felt despair and his Dao heart wavered.
Merchant Venerable Juntian's essence was already severely damaged, and he was on the verge of death. He spoke slowly and weakly, his voice hoarse:
"I have never heard of such a treasure before. It contains the power of three thousand Great Daos, which can restrain almost all cultivators in the world. Moreover, it is invincible and cannot be restrained by any force..."
Perhaps we were all wrong...
"Wrong?"
The Dragon Ancestor turned his head with difficulty to look at Merchant Venerable Juntian, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Where did we go wrong? Yes, we really shouldn't have been his enemy."
The Dragon Ancestor did not hold a grudge against Merchant Venerable Juntian. Although he had not expected to lose so miserably, he had imagined what it would be like to lose.
"Such a heaven-defying treasure is definitely not something Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm could possess."
Merchant Venerable Juntian, panting heavily, continued,
"If the Dao Ancestor had possessed this treasure back then, he would never have refrained from using it even once."
"Hmm... you're right, this item definitely doesn't belong to the Dao Ancestor."
The Devil Ancestor chimed in.
"Perhaps we've all misunderstood."
Merchant Venerable Juntian slowly closed his eyes, his face full of regret, and finally came to an answer that seemed unbelievable, but was actually the most likely truth.
"This Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable, he probably reached this point today through his own talent and strength, rather than relying on the Dao Ancestor's inheritance and protection."
"How is that possible...?"
The Devil Ancestor shook his head violently, his face filled with disbelief, his tone tinged with a hint of obsession:
"How many years has he risen to power? Only a mere ten thousand years. What kind of extraordinary talent would it take to grow from an unknown nobody to someone who can crush all of us? It's absolutely impossible!"
"It seems... you've discovered the truth."
Han Xuanji's voice drifted from the void, utterly cold and clear.
The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in their ears. Along with the sound came a familiar figure, radiating a powerful aura.
Although it was just a divine thought avatar, it still made the Devil Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, and the others freeze instantly, startled, and they all looked up at the void with fear in their eyes.
The first to break down was Merchant Venerable Juntian. He was already afraid of death, and now he was trembling with fear. He hurriedly begged for mercy, his tone extremely humble:
" Dao Venerable, spare my life! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been blinded by the secret of transcendence, and I shouldn't have joined forces with the Devil Ancestor to invade my Immortal Realm. I beg the Dao Venerable to spare my life, considering that I never truly slaughtered any living beings in the Immortal Realm!"
I am willing to surrender all my treasures, submit to the Dao Venerable Dao Venerable, and serve him for life, never daring to have any disloyalty!
Han Xuanji turned his gaze to Merchant Venerable Juntian.
[ Shang Jun ( Merchant Venerable Juntian ): Hunyuan Wuji Perfection Devil God of the Chaos, originally Devil God who maintained balance. After wandering through the Chaos for many years, he received great fortune from the Chaos, pioneered the Dao of Trade, and founded the Myriad Worlds Merchant Alliance. After being suppressed by you, he harbors deep resentment towards you. He possesses a special treasure that can erase the Great Dao Contract, and therefore intends to temporarily surrender to you, waiting for you to transcend before considering his revenge.]
"Good heavens, your resentment runs deep... I don't think I can let you live."
Han Xuanji did not respond, lost in thought.
This Merchant Venerable Juntian is fickle and unpredictable. He betrayed the Devil Ancestor during the simulation, and in this great battle, he first sought cooperation with him and then threatened him, showing that he is difficult to control.
Seeing that Merchant Venerable Juntian had abandoned all dignity and knelt down to beg for mercy, Star Ancestor began to plead for forgiveness:
" Dao Venerable, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so arrogant and made an enemy of the Immortal Realm. I beg Dao Venerable to spare my life. I'm willing to offer up all the resources of the Chaos Star Realm and will never dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts again!"
[ Star Ancestor: Hunyuan Wuji Perfection, Master of the Star Realm, Chaos Spirit, First Star God of Chaos, wielding the origins of thirty-six Chaos stars. Due to his unique nature, he lacks the means of rebirth. After being forcefully suppressed by you, although he harbors resentment, he dares not seek revenge. Upon witnessing the tragic state of the Spacetime Dao Ancestor, he is filled with immense fear, his Dao heart shattered. To survive, he is willing to pay any price and pledge complete allegiance to you.]
"Oh?"
Han Xuanji pondered upon seeing the message from the system.
Having an Hunyuan Wuji Perfection would be better than simply annihilating the opponent.
It's easy for the Star Ancestor's origin to create a Hunyuan Wuji, but reaching the Hunyuan Wuji Perfection is not so easy.
Among the disciples of the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace, there are indeed those who cultivate the Dao of Stars, such as Lin Feng's friend Chen Yan, but none of the direct disciples follow this Dao of Stars.
Han Xuanji does cultivate the Dao of Stars and has achieved a considerable level of mastery, but for his current realm, it's not really necessary.
The two overlords of Chaos spoke one after the other, begging for mercy, their postures so humble they were practically dust. They had long lost their former arrogance, leaving only the instinct for survival.
Seeing the two of them like this, the Dragon Ancestor shook his head, closed his eyes, neither begging for mercy nor uttering any threats, but simply said:
"My skills are inferior to yours; kill me or torture me as you please."
"She does have some backbone."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, but did not deliberately humiliate the other party.
However, he still needed to verify whether what the other party said was true.
[ Ying Shi ( Dragon Ancestor ): Hunyuan Wuji Perfection, born divine, a primordial spirit of Chaos, the first dragon of Chaos, the pioneer of the Great Dao of Dragons, adhering to the Divine Ability of returning great power to oneself, and not cultivating any life-saving supernatural abilities. After fighting you, although he was surprised by his defeat, he acknowledged and admired your strength, and died without resentment, not intending to abandon the dignity of the strong to fight for a slim chance of survival. He felt disappointed in Merchant Venerable Juntian and Star Ancestor.]
He is a person who is consistent in word and deed.
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the true culprit— the Devil Ancestor.
