Chapter 543: Battle of the Dao Ancestors! The Ten Segment Law of Space (6K)



"What is happening here?"

"These Celestial Immortals?" The True God Battle Arrays, which had been valiantly fighting, were shocked and came to a halt upon witnessing this scene.

After the collapse of the Dao Court's army, the Celestial Immortals who were closest to them had been relentlessly pursued, and in an instant, their Soul Essences seemed to explode one by one.

At this moment, their Soul Core Origins were like nutrients, guided by strands of Immortal Book Radiance, merging and forming into massive Soul Core Origins.

And even more Celestial Immortals' Soul Essences continued to explode from afar.

As more and more Celestial Immortals' Soul Core Origins joined, the seven massive Soul Core Origins continued to grow rapidly, and terrifying wills emerged from within them.

This bizarre scene left all the True Gods in the Pantheon of Gods in awe.

"In such a short time, nearly twenty-one thousand Celestial Immortals have perished?"

"These Celestial Immortals seem to have truly died."

"Each Soul Core Origin is formed by the merging of about three thousand Celestial Immortals?"

"This must be the hidden killing move of the Dao Court." The Fifth Chamber Lord and the Sea of Devils Elder, veterans of countless battles, immediately made their judgment.

Throughout the endless years of the Dao Court's existence, only about ten thousand Celestial Immortals had been born.

Yet, this single move had consumed the lives of over twenty thousand Celestial Immortals.

How many times could the entire Dao Court withstand such a loss? It must be known that during the collapse of the Dao Court's army, Li Yuan had already slain over four thousand Celestial Immortals, and together with the True God Battle Arrays, the total casualties had exceeded ten thousand.

Now, with the loss of over twenty thousand Celestial Immortals, the entire Dao Court's army had suffered over thirty thousand casualties.

...

"What?"

"Them?"

"Could it be that the Immortal Book Radiance can turn our Soul Essences into nutrients at any time?"

"It's the aura of a Dao Ancestor!"

"A Dao Ancestor is about to descend, but this will take the lives of these Celestial Immortals!" Those Celestial Immortals who were still desperately fleeing also looked at this scene in terror.

As Celestial Immortals, they knew that once they were inscribed in the Ascend to Immortal Register, their lives were no longer in their control. But a scene as terrifying as this still exceeded their imagination.

For a moment, these Celestial Immortals felt a chill in their hearts, and some even felt lost.

Could it be that, as the Fifth True God had said, the so-called Immortal Path cultivation was merely a path of servitude, ready to sacrifice at any time?" This was something many Celestial Immortals found hard to accept.

Speaking of which, in the instant Li Yuan witnessed the anomaly, he had already directly traversed the Void, rushing towards the nearest massive Soul Core Origin.

"Kill!"

After consecutively slaying thousands of Celestial Immortals, the surging killing intent that had accumulated in Li Yuan's heart for years continued to unleash.

Even Li Yuan himself didn't realize that within his Soul Illusion World, in the Slaughter Crystal, drop by drop of Slaughter Tears had already reached perfection, and they had dissipated from within, subtly influencing his mind.

This was truly unimaginable, as Li Yuan's willpower was incredibly strong.

Yet, he was unknowingly influenced, which showed the unique power contained within these 'Slaughter Tears'.

Under this special influence, Li Yuan's battle intent continued to rise, and the more he slaughtered, the more excited he became, urging him to unleash his power even more frantically.

"My spear technique is still not strong enough!"

"It's still not fast enough!"

"If it were faster, how could these Celestial Immortals escape? They would have been eradicated long ago." Li Yuan's heart was filled with an urge, as if something was about to burst forth.

"Die!"

Li Yuan's killing intent soared, and despite knowing the immense threat posed by the seven massive Soul Core Origins, he still thrust his long spear forward.

Whoosh!

The divine spear pierced through the Void like a dragon, and the space around the spear seemed to distort, revealing a dazzling light.

At this moment, the seven massive Soul Core Origins were rapidly condensing.

Countless heavenly source energies gathered, forming figures that exuded a terrifying aura.

"Get lost!"

The massive figure enveloped in thunderous light exploded with a roar, sensing the immense threat. Even though his physical body was not fully condensed, he still fiercely clapped his palms, resembling two massive bolts of lightning, attempting to block Li Yuan's spear.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering collision.

The tip of the Phantom Moon Spear instantly pierced through both hands, extinguishing the countless bolts of lightning, and then ruthlessly stabbed into the majestic lightning figure.

Despite the lightning figure's desperate resistance, the spear directly penetrated its body, and the towering figure was blasted away.

"Haha!"

"As expected of the exceptional demon favored by the Immortal Ancestor, truly formidable." The massive hole in the chest of the lightning figure was slowly healing: "Before my body was fully formed, I was completely defeated."

"However, you can injure me, but you cannot kill me."

"Now, your death is certain." The lightning figure's aura surged, and his body had completely condensed, resembling an ancient and powerful deity.

Not only him.

The other six massive Soul Core Origins had also, in the blink of an eye, drawn upon the vast heavenly source energies, condensing into majestic figures.

The seven towering figures, their movements seemed natural and in harmony with the fluctuations of the Dao.

This was a sign of comprehending a fundamental law of the Dao.

The identities of the seven powerful beings who had descended were already clear—the Seven Ancestors of the Dao.

"Dao Ancestors? Are you the Thunder Ancestor? Are you the Golden Luo Ancestor? Are you the Radiant Primordial Deity?" Li Yuan recognized the identities of the Seven Ancestors.

Action: 'The Seven Ancestors of the Dao, each in command of a fundamental principle, are the supreme leaders of the Dao Court.

Countless eons have passed, and it is due to the existence of these Seven Ancestors that the Pantheon of Gods has never truly invaded the Nine Thousand Worlds.

"Seven Stars!"

"We, the Seven Ancestors, have never descended upon the Ten Thousand Springs Void. This is the first time." Radiant Dao Ancestor, in his manifested form, emanates boundless azure light, and his chilling voice causes the void to tremble, "You are indeed an exceptional prodigy, but today, you shall die."

The Seven Ancestors, as a part of the Heavenly Dao, are unable to leave the realm enveloped by the Heavenly Dao in their true forms.

Thus, they have never set foot in the Ten Thousand Springs Void. After all, this void is a different spatial world.

Their descent at this moment is at the cost of countless Celestial Immortal lives, forming a temporary manifestation.

In the past, when the World Tree's essence was not in decline, they would have required three times as many Celestial Immortals to gather such a manifestation.

The duration of this manifestation won't last long.

This is also the reason why, for so long, they have never used this technique to descend.

"Swoosh!"

Radiant Dao Ancestor transforms into a beam of azure light, slicing through the heavens with his palms like heavenly blades, he swoops towards Li Yuan.

This palm strike, imbued with the essence of the wind's grand dao, is terrifying in its might.

Li Yuan's gaze remains icy; he shows no sign of retreat, choosing to meet force with force.

Li Yuan's long spear slashes fiercely.

Boom! Phantom Moon Spear rapidly expands, resembling a colossal heavenly pillar, sweeping across with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

Another intense collision.

The massive divine spear, both real and illusory, clashes with the palm strike that tears through the heavens. Both sides tremble simultaneously from the impact, and Radiant Dao Ancestor and Li Yuan are sent flying backward.

Buzz— The terrifying aftermath of the clash ripples and reverberates in all directions, oppressing the True God Battle Arrays, causing them to retreat continuously... Even the aftermath of the battle seems to surpass the capacity of these arrays.

"Such crude techniques."

"His physical strength is formidable, far surpassing a Six-Star True God, and likely not far from a Seven-Star True God. Yet, despite wielding a complete fundamental dao, his techniques are inferior to many newly ascended Heaven Deities, truly bizarre."

With Li Yuan's heightened perception, he instantly assesses the situation, "It's as if he's merely fighting by instinct, utilizing the innate abilities of the complete dao."

The combined might of these Dao Ancestor manifestations seems to be on par with Li Yuan's.

Not even reaching the threshold of a Heaven Deity.

The so-called threshold of a Heaven Deity refers to the strength of a newly ascended Seven-Star Heaven Deity without the use of any star techniques.

"I wonder about the strength of the other Dao Ancestor manifestations." Numerous thoughts flash through Li Yuan's mind as he sends a telepathic message, "Grand Palace Lord, retreat quickly!"

There's no need for Li Yuan's reminder.

It was only when they witnessed Li Yuan's head-on clash with Radiant Dao Ancestor that the battle seemed evenly matched.

"Retreat!" The Fifth Chamber Lord and the other high-ranking members of the Pantheon of Gods sense the dire situation.

After all, Li Yuan is alone.

And there are seven Dao Ancestors.

The Fifth Chamber Lord issues an order, "The True God Battle Arrays led by ordinary Palace Lords, return to Crimson Blood City immediately!"

Currently, the frontline forces of the Dao Court are almost completely wiped out, with the rest having fled far away. Most of the True God Battle Arrays are too slow to have much effect in pursuit.

The descended Seven Ancestors pose too great a threat.

However, if a large number of True Gods can return to Crimson Blood City, with the array set up by the Life Tree, over ten thousand True Gods can defend against even the mightiest Heaven Deities.

Considering the possibility of defeat, the Fifth Chamber Lord decides to secure the fruits of victory.

In his view, the battle has already achieved great results, not only in slaying numerous ordinary Celestial Immortals but also in killing most of the Celestial Lords of the Seven Great Dao Courts... Even if Li Yuan leaves in the future, it will be difficult for the Dao Court's forces to regroup and form so many top-tier arrays.

But all this is contingent on one thing.

The large number of True Gods in the Pantheon of Gods' army must be able to return to Crimson Blood City.

...

"Immediately!"

"Rearrange the formation! Counterattack!" While the Seven Ancestors transmit orders to the remaining Celestial Lords, commanding them to reorganize the Dao Court's forces and prepare for a counterattack, they themselves rush into battle, all charging towards Li Yuan.

On one side, the Seven Ancestors, in their manifested forms, unleash their power.

Their primary objective is to kill Li Yuan.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless vines appear in the void, attacking Li Yuan. The 'Celestial Wood Dao Ancestor', who commands the essence of wood, displays a powerful technique, and these vines, even within the Chaos Universe domain, are difficult to suppress, binding and crushing with overwhelming force.

Li Yuan's speed diminishes sharply.

"Go!" Golden Luo Dao Ancestor surges forward, transforming into a colossal battle blade of dazzling golden light, striking towards Li Yuan.

"Kill!" Li Yuan, unafraid, with his eyes glinting red, declares, "If all of you come at me, it will buy enough time for the True Gods to retreat."

The battle erupts.

The Seven Ancestors surround Li Yuan, a terrifying sight that shakes the hearts of the True Gods and Celestial Immortals on both sides.

A terrifying wave of dao energy spreads, followed by a deluge of flames and water, intertwining like a water-fire dragon, coiling around the majestic True God Battle Array.

Bolts of lightning flash.

The golden lightning slashes, tearing through layers of space... While the overwhelming green vines cover and conceal everything, making it difficult for outsiders to get a clear view of the battle.

But it was clear.

The battle was extremely fierce.

"Seven Ancestors of the Dao descend, yet they surround one person?"

"Seven Stars, can you hold them off?"

"This!" All the True Gods trembled.

Such a brutal slaughter, any remnant of the battle, was enough to annihilate ordinary True Gods, and almost no one dared to join, it was completely beyond their level.

Except for those nine figures.

"Quickly!"

"Join forces, and share the burden for Seven Stars."

"Even if it costs our lives, we must save Seven Stars!" The Fifth Palace Lord and Xi Cheng Palace Lord, along with the other eight Elder Palace Lords, had already ordered the army to retreat, but they immediately took command of the True God Battle Array, and rushed towards Li Yuan and the area where the Seven Ancestors of the Dao were located.

They knew they were far from being opponents of the Ancestors of the Dao.

But how could they let Li Yuan be surrounded by the Seven Ancestors of the Dao? These Elder Palace Lords couldn't do it.

However, just as they were about to prepare for the rescue.

"Retreat quickly!"

"No need to save me! Hurry and leave!" Li Yuan's urgent voice echoed in the minds of these Elder Palace Lords.

Just at that moment.

"Break!" A chilling voice pierced through the sky!

Whoosh!

A dazzling spear light streaked across the heavens, this spear light pierced through the void, and the countless vines and water-fire dragons formed a terrifying binding, yet it was completely pierced through by this terrifying spear.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several more mysterious and unpredictable spear shadows streaked by, the Radiant Light Ancestor and the Golden Luo Ancestor were blasted back repeatedly.

Whoosh!

A phantom emerged from the constantly shattering and merging void, holding a divine spear, standing tall in the void.

It was none other than Li Yuan.

The Seven Ancestors of the Dao's siege, was actually broken by him.

"Ancestors of the Dao? Just empty titles, puppets of the Great Dao." Li Yuan held the long spear, his voice deep, "You haven't truly understood the Great Dao's laws, you're just given power by the Great Dao's laws."

"You can't kill me." Li Yuan stared at the Seven Ancestors of the Dao, and after a brief clash, he had already grasped the nature of these Ancestors of the Dao.

The Seven Ancestors of the Dao transformed and faced him, their expressions extremely ugly.

Indeed!

In essence, they were all 'lucky ones' chosen by the Immortal Register, so-called masters of the Great Dao, was just a joke... If not for this, how could they not even comprehend any of the Heaven Deity's techniques?

If it was within the range of the Heaven's Path, they could rely on the power of the Heaven's Path, and even slay Heaven Deities.

But beyond the Heaven's Path, it was difficult to mobilize the power of the Heaven Deity enters the scene, one of the countless retreating True God Battle Arrays.

At this moment, the Seven Ancestors of the Dao's speed was inferior to Li Yuan's, yet far surpassed the other True God Battle Arrays.

Except for the Radiant Light Ancestor, who was blocked by Li Yuan, the other six Ancestors of the Dao quickly rushed towards the True God Battle Arrays that were retreating.

Leading them were the Fifth Palace Lord, Demon Sea Palace Lord, and others.

"Fifth, die!" The Golden Luo Ancestor's body shone like a blade, and he slashed down.

"Golden Luo?" The Fifth Palace Lord commanded the True God Battle Array, holding a shield in one hand and swinging a battle axe with the other, facing the Golden Luo Ancestor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless blades of light, raging and boundless, struck the Fifth Palace Lord, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

The difference in strength between the two was very clear.

But the Fifth Palace Lord's body technique and shield technique were extremely profound, and even though he was repeatedly blasted away, the battle array was constantly damaged, yet he never allowed the blades to strike him directly... In a short time, he withstood the attack.

A

This was also due to the formidable vitality of the True Gods.

"Delay! Delay a little longer, and recall the True God Battle Array in Crimson Blood City, and we'll have more of an advantage." Lord Si Wu's thoughts were crystal clear.

But!

The other Elder Hall Masters, their strength and realm, were far inferior to his. Facing the frenzied attacks of the Dao Ancestors, they couldn't hold out for long.

...

"Whoosh!" Terra Dao Ancestor unleashed a torrential Earthy Yellow Aura, submerging a True God Battle Array.

In the blink of an eye, this True God Battle Array was destroyed, and within it, a hundred True Gods turned into white bones.

...

The Dao Ancestors' killing speed was astonishing.

"Ah!"

"Kill!" Many True God Battle Arrays tried to join forces, but seeing that escape was impossible, they attempted to resist together. However, the gap in their strengths was too vast, and they were broken through in an instant.

Once the protection of the grand array was lost, in the face of the Dao Ancestors whose strength was almost that of Heaven Deities, there wasn't much difference between ordinary Six-Star True Gods and Heaven Immortals.

But just a second or two more.

...

In a very short time, over ten True God Battle Arrays fell, and thousands of True Gods were killed.

Witnessing this, Li Yuan's heart ached.

After several hundred years! The time he spent in the Ten Thousand Springs Void was longer than in the Seven Stars Civilization, and in Li Yuan's heart, he had truly considered himself a part of the Pantheon.

Li Yuan became increasingly frenzied, his killing intent intensifying.

An ominous aura emanated from his entire being!

Faster! His spear techniques had to be even faster!

Li Yuan's heart was filled with endless desire and murderous intent.

He even tried to activate the life-saving item left to him by Star Elder.

That black token engraved with a special divine beast statue.

According to Star Elder, once this black token was summoned, it could annihilate any powerful being below the level of Heaven Deities.

But! Beyond Li Yuan's expectations, no matter how hard he tried to activate it, the black token remained completely still.

"Could it be because of the laws of this world?" Li Yuan couldn't afford to think of anything else.

He understood that today, he could only rely on himself.

Boom! Li Yuan and Radiant Dao Ancestor engaged in a crazy fight.

"Hate?"

"You want to save others? Unfortunately, with your current strength, you can't do it yet." Radiant Dao Ancestor coldly laughed, his heart also longing to slay Li Yuan.

Suddenly, in the distant void.

"Boom!"

Wood Dao Ancestor transformed into vines, abruptly binding the Sea of Devils Elder's True God Battle Array. A streak of light flashed by, and the head of this True God Battle Array was already severed... The grand array collapsed, and the numerous True Gods within immediately panicked and tried to escape.

"Annihilate!"

Wood Dao Ancestor manipulated a massive amount of vines, each one resembling a giant snake, all at the True God level, and their astonishing numbers roared as they struck down one Six-Star True God after another.

Even as the Sea of Devils Elder struggled desperately, employing various Star Techniques, he could only hold out for a little longer.

Sea of Devils Elder, dead!

This was already the fourth Elder Hall Master to perish.

"Lord Si Wu, die!" Wood Dao Ancestor attacked Lord Si Wu, attempting to join forces with Golden Luo Dao Ancestor.

Boom!

The two Dao Ancestors joined forces to besiege, and each of them possessed strength almost on par with Heaven Deities. Lord Si Wu, even with his command of the True God Battle Array, instantly found himself in a desperate situation.

Whoosh!

"Not good!" Li Yuan's heart raced, transforming into a streak of light and charging towards Lord Si Wu.

"Stop him!"

"Kill Lord Si Wu!" Not only Radiant Dao Ancestor, but also Terra Dao Ancestor and Flowing Shadow Dao Ancestor, who controlled the Water Dao, rushed over. They understood the importance of killing Lord Si Wu.

The three Dao Ancestors joined forces, managing to hold Li Yuan back for a short time.

...

"Everyone, fear not!" Lord Si Wu's True God Battle Array, which he led, had already seen that most of the True God Battle Arrays had retreated into Crimson Blood City, and the city formation had been activated.

"Haha! Grand Palace Lord, when have I ever feared death?"

"After fighting for tens of thousands of years, what is there to fear?"

"We will die to open a path for more True Gods to seize their chance at life.)"

"Haha, what's there to fear in death? To fight alongside the Grand Palace Lord against the Dao Court Dao Ancestor and die without regret." One of the True Gods within the battle array laughed loudly.

Lord Si Wu also laughed.

"The True Gods within this grand array he leads are all carefully selected, each of them over twenty-five thousand years old."

Lord Si Wu's heart was filled with unparalleled tranquility.

Die in battle? He had long prepared for the day he would meet his end.

"Seven Stars Brothers, the future is in your hands." Lord Si Wu silently recited in his heart, still doing his best to resist, trying to delay a little longer, his heart already prepared for death.

Suddenly.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!" In the distant void, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted. Li Yuan, who was under siege by three Dao Ancestors, suddenly split into nine.

As if nine True God Battle Arrays had appeared simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The nine True God Battle Arrays erupted, and nine dazzling spear radiances swept across the void, instantly blasting away the three Dao Ancestors.

Especially Radiant Dao Ancestor, whose head and two arms were directly obliterated by this terrifying spear radiance.

"It's the Ten Stages of the Spatial Law!"

"His Spatial Law, 'World Direction', has broken through to the Ten Stages." Radiant Dao Ancestor's head regrew, his face filled with horror, and even a hint of fear appeared in his eyes: "The Void forms its own world, giving rise to ten thousand phenomena."
