The Immortal Sword's killing intent swept across the Milky Way, and immortal mist covered the Sun-Moon. Its power immediately tore apart the Great Qian, showing an unstoppable force as it hurtled towards the Void Mirror.
"Not good!"
"It's the Extreme Dao Weapon for revival."
Some people turned deathly pale, almost collapsing to their knees. How could they possibly withstand such an overwhelming attack? There was simply no solution!
Ji Yanming was terrified, feeling as if the end of the world had come, and was filled with fear.
The silver-haired old man's expression changed drastically. He flashed and stood next to Ji Yanyun, together activating the Void Ancient Mirror.
The sword's light swept across, illuminating mountains and rivers. The ancient and powerful Immortal Sword was terrifying. It cleaved down from the sky, causing Chaos energy to surge and splitting the heavens and earth in two. Its power was unparalleled. Unless the Void Mirror was fully revived, no one could stop it!
Feeling the terrifying power firsthand, Ji Yanyun's expression turned grim, and he and the silver-haired old man activated the imperial artifact together.
The Void Mirror emitted strands of Void Dao lines, and the beams of light intertwined to form a dark light curtain, like a galaxy converging to create a mysterious Void Dao diagram, attempting to block the Immortal Sword.
However, even with the support of a fragment of the Void Emperor's array pattern, it was useless; the Heavenly Map was instantly annihilated by the sword light.
The Void Mirror couldn't stop it at all. As the Immortal Sword fell, all the symbols of the Great Dao in the space dimmed, and even the remnant array of the Emperor's Dao couldn't withstand its terrifying killing intent.
"Bang!"
The sword light flashed and instantly covered everything. Before Ji Yanming and the rest of the Ji Family members could react, they were annihilated in the Void and perished on this spot.
The silver-haired old man also coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vital energy instantly deteriorating. He had not refined the Void Mirror and could not be considered a master of Emperor Weapon, so the blow he suffered was far greater than that of Ji Yanyun.
At this moment, he was backfired by the imperial aura and fell down. Even as an unparalleled Holy Lord, he could not make any waves on this battlefield and became a pile of minced meat under the sword light, his situation miserable.
Under the influence of the laws of Xian Dao, this place cannot be traversed.
Upon witnessing the silver-haired old man's miserable state, Ji Yanyun was horrified. His hair was disheveled, and his expression was somewhat crazed. He kept pouring his blood into the Void Mirror, trying to awaken the ancient mirror's deity to fight against the light of the Immortal Sword.
The five-colored divine blood spilled onto the Void Mirror, shimmering with beautiful divine light, crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful. However, the Emperor Weapon weapon did not respond at all, no matter how he called out, it was useless...
Su Yu ignored them. Since the Immortal Sword was drawn, the fates of those people were already sealed, and even if the Void Mirror were fully revived, it would be useless.
The Xiao Nannan's eyes were filled with Ye Fan. She hugged Ye Fan, her eyes brimming with tears, and then, as if grasping at a lifeline, she pleaded with Su Yu, "Big brother, save brother!"
Since leaving the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she changed her address for Ye Fan from "big brother" to "brother".
Su Yu shook his head, feeling somewhat superfluous. He stroked the Xiao Nannan's hair, then placed his hand on Ye Fan's chest and transferred a stream of pure Life essence to her— Divine Spring he had prepared long ago.
Seeing that the little girl was still very worried, he comforted her, "It's alright, your brother will wake up soon!"
The Xiao Nannan nodded, her voice choked with emotion, and looked at Ye Fan with a worried expression...
On the other side, Ji Yanyun was on the verge of death. Three fine cracks appeared on the Void Mirror above his head, and its light dimmed considerably.
Finally, the Immortal Sword pierced the sky, spewing forth immortal mist. Its blade condensed Chaos light from all directions, and it cleaved down, striking the ancient mirror.
At this moment, Ji Yanyun also realized that even the Void Mirror couldn't protect him. This strange bronze sword was definitely not an ordinary Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. This was further confirmed by Ji Yanming's encounter with the Bronze Immortal Palace...
"Ah!"
Under the suppression of the Xian Dao laws, Ji Yanyun bled from all six orifices, his heart filled with endless regret. He roared miserably, "This is not Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon at all, it is an immortal artifact that is only seen once in all ages! I hate it!"
Unexpectedly, the first target he chose had a terrifyingly powerful background, actually related to two immortal artifacts. No wonder Cao Yusheng would help him like this.
Had he known this would happen, he would have preferred to risk hunting Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue rather than provoke Ye Fan.
"Buzz!"
Under the terrifying sword light, the Void Mirror flew backward and crashed into the Great Wilderness. Thousands of sword lights instantly pierced through the body of the black-robed man. Then, the Immortal Sword hummed slightly and disappeared into the Void, returning to Ye Fan's Sea of the Bitter Sea.
A moment later, nourished by Su Yu's divine power, Ye Fan opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was his sister and Su Yu, and he felt a little unreal.
His face was deathly pale. He wanted to say something, but he didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only look at the two of them with longing and immense relief.
You saved me again!
Su Yu seemed to understand Ye Fan's thoughts. He smiled calmly, picked up the Void Mirror and the Cauldron of All-Things Mother Qi from afar, then laid out spatial runes, carrying the two of them across to Yan City...
Shortly after the three disappeared, dozens of cracks appeared in the Void, and dozens of cultivators emerged from them.
They bore the insignia of the Desolate Antiquity Ji Family and were all important figures in the Immortal Platform Secret Realm.
The leader, with gray hair and a black robe, had a face full of wrinkles. He was the old king of the Ji Family, with the Ji Family's Holy Lord and Ji Yanzhi serving him.
The patriarch of the Ji Family walked to Ji Yanyun's side. Looking at his junior, who seemed like an ordinary person, he frowned. Void chains shot out from his body, intending to transport the corpse back to the Ji Family.
However, before the divine power of the Void could even touch Ji Yanyun, he turned into a pile of ashes and disappeared into the world without a trace.
The old man shook his head weakly. He looked at the Holy Lord of the Ji Family, his gaze sharp, and said, " The Ancestral Artifact is missing. Tianyun, what exactly happened? Yanyun is your son. Why did he take the Void Mirror out without permission?"
Seeing that the ancestor was angry, the Holy Lord of the Ji Family remained silent.
A moment later, he knelt down and said remorsefully, "Please punish me, Ancestor."
"Punishment? What good is punishment? The Ancestral Artifact is lost and nowhere to be found. This is something that has never happened in the Ji Family for hundreds of thousands of years, yet it has happened in our generation," the old king of the Ji Family scolded.
Ji Yanzhi's gaze was grave as he said in a deep voice, "Ancestor, the only solution now is to awaken our hidden strength."
"Alas... having awakened our inner strength, how can we face our ancestors...?"
The old man closed his eyes, sighed, and with a hint of helplessness, reached out and ripped through the Void, stepping inside.
Ji Yanzhi helped his father up, his face also looking dejected. The foundation of the clan can only be awakened when the clan is on the verge of extinction, but now, because of the incompetence of the descendants, the ancestors have been forced to be reborn.
The disappearance of the Void Mirror must have been due to its suppression by another Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. In this case, if we want to retrieve the imperial weapon, we must ask Ancient Saint for help.
"Let's go back. This matter is too big; we need to discuss it as soon as possible." Ji Tianyun sighed, a look of dejection on his face.
Ji Yanzhi dared not answer. Only the Holy Lord and the Ancestor could speak on matters of awakening one's inner strength. The other clansmen dared not utter a word, remaining silent as if trembling in fear.
The Mysterious Light Platform swept through the Void, and everyone returned to the Ji Family.
At the same time, all the Ji Family's Immortal Platform cultivators in the outer regions also received urgent orders, instructing them to disregard Source Stone, activate the domain array, and immediately return to their ancestral land in the Southern Region.
At the Ji Family Stone Workshop in the Northern Region, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, upon receiving the report from the Southern Region, smiled calmly, summoned Ji Haoyue back, and then the two returned to their ancestral land through the Domain Gate.
In the central celestial palace, thirty-two Half-Step Great Power and fifteen Great Power gathered here, their expressions solemn. These were all the Immortal Platform cultivators of the Ji Family in this generation, and also the Heartforce of the Ji Family.
Chapter 375 Lord of Yaoguang, Emperor's Cauldron Returns to Its Place
The gray-haired old man sat on the magnificent palace. He was dressed in black and gold robes, wore a crown, and had eyes that seemed to flash like lightning. He exuded a kind of majesty that was completely different from before.
He looked down at the crowd below, and the next moment, two beams of black light shot out from his eyes, incredibly deep, like black gold, becoming unique in the world, dazzling and Eternal, and flew downwards.
"Ah!"
"Ancestor!"
The two Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure exclaimed in surprise. They wanted to resist, and in an instant, lines of Dao patterns intertwined, forming a net of order and displaying tangible power of law!
However, all their efforts were in vain. The crystal-clear and dazzling chains of order pierced through the two Void Great Hand Seal in an instant, then bound the two of them, and no matter how much they struggled, it was to no avail.
Everyone present was terrified, and several Half-Step Great Power were even more distraught, never expecting that their ancestor was going to settle scores with them.
At the same time, the Holy Lord of the Ji Family, Ji Tianyao, and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family also made their move, subduing the five Immortal Platform cultivators and capturing them below the steps.
Looking at his seven juniors, the gray-haired old man's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Tell me everything you know about Ji Yanyun and Ji Li."
"Ancestor, what exactly is going on? We are innocent!" a Great Power cried out, unwilling to accept the situation.
He is the third son of the Ji Family, and his cultivation level is the highest among the seven. He is only one step away from entering the Holy Lord Realm. He is the fourth most important person in the Ji Family and has a great deal of influence.
Seeing the leader act this way, the others also cried out for justice.
"Such humiliation of Great Power —does the family code contain any provisions for it?"
"Ancestor, what has happened? Why must we fight like this? If outsiders find out, our family will be disgraced!"
Upon hearing these words, the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family remained calm and said indifferently, "What's the use of struggling now that things have come to this?"
Ji Tianyun also revealed a fierce expression. He bowed to the old man, intending to use swift and decisive means.
"This concerns Ancestral Artifact; deal with it severely!" The gray-haired old man, his heart as hard as stone, said coldly.
Having received the ancestor's order, the Holy Lord of the Ji Family walked forward step by step until he stood before the other party.
" Tianyun, is it really necessary to be so heartless?" The third son of the Ji Family was heartbroken, tears welling up in his eyes, a sight that saddened all who saw him.
Ji Tianyun felt a pang of pity; this cousin had once saved his life.
But the next moment, he still made his move, using the Soul Searching Technique.
"I'm sorry, but for the sake of the family, I had no choice." The Holy Lord of the Ji Family felt sorrow in his heart, but his eyes shone even brighter as he used all of his primordial spirit power.
A crystal-clear Power of Thought emanated from his body, swirling with wisps of Daoist energy, as Perfect World as the purest jade in the world.
The third son of the Ji Family wanted to resist, but with the Severing the Dao Divine Chains binding him, even with his eyes blazing with fury, he could only watch helplessly as the dark divine light pierced his forehead and penetrated deep into his Immortal Platform...
On the other side, Ji Tianyao and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family also stepped forward, preparing to use their soul techniques. This made the other six people feel as if they had fallen into the Jiuyou, as if they could see their own fate.
"Ancestor, Yanyun and Yanming went for Ye Fan!" Another Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure to bear the pressure any longer, finally revealed the truth.
It was because of their help that Ji Yanyun was able to use the Void Mirror.
The other cultivators from the Immortal Platform also spoke up, explaining the whole story...
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the main hall. A man stood behind the gray-haired old man, plain and unremarkable, with no special features whatsoever. Even his appearance was ordinary, leaving no impression on anyone who saw him.
Beside him stood a frail, white-haired old man, who was extremely respectful.
Although the two stood on the hall, they were separated from the outside world, seemingly worlds apart. They could see everything inside the hall, but those outside could not sense their presence.
After verifying the confession with what he had found through soul searching, the Holy Lord of the Ji Family came to the black-haired man's side with the old king of the Ji Family.
The gray-haired old man said in a deep voice, "Young Ancestor, the most likely candidates are the Chaos Palace and the Green Lotus Imperial Dynasty. Sacred Body Ye Fan has connections with these two extreme forces."
"I used the ancestral blood, but I still couldn't summon back the Void Mirror. It seems it was indeed suppressed by other Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon." Ji Zi nodded slightly, calm and composed.
"I will head to the Central Region immediately!" the Holy Lord of the Ji Family said respectfully.
Ji Zi shook her head and said softly, " The Ancestral Artifact cannot be lost. I'd better go myself."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Let Yanzhi go with me, and also, take Haoyue and Ziyue with you."
After he spoke, both the gray-haired old man and Ji Tianyun bowed their heads in respect.
"I'll make the arrangements right away!" The Holy Lord of the Ji Family turned and walked out.
After Ji Tianyun left, the gray-haired old man knelt down and said, "I have committed a grave crime, please punish me, Young Ancestor!"
Seeing the gray-haired old man's guilty and lifeless expression, Ji Zi sighed, a trace of sorrow appearing on her face.
