Chapter 635: Chapter 610: True One Returns
"This is... blood and soul of the True One State, so that’s how it is. This guy relied on these blood and soul remnants to forcibly break through to the True One State, no wonder it was so mediocre."
Tang Feng saw through the clues.
If it were normal circumstances, Yuan Wanggu, having broken through to True One, could completely suppress the remaining imprints of those blood souls.
Given time, he would be able to slowly refine these marks.
But now, because he had just recently made the breakthrough to True One and was in the most intense phase of blood soul rebellion, coupled with having suffered a severe injury, he naturally experienced a backlash from those blood souls.
Under the onslaught of the blood soul backlash, Yuan Wanggu’s body and spirit continued to disintegrate.
Soon after, he fell completely silent.
Dead!
A mighty True One State powerhouse, dead.
He had only just made the breakthrough and was killed.
A real True One State, naturally, was not so easy to kill. Even if Tang Feng’s strength was formidable, killing a True One would have taken some effort.
It required time for slow refining.
But because Yuan Wanggu suffered the backlash of the blood souls, he died extremely quickly.
The powerhouses from the Origin Dynasty, as well as those who had aided the Origin Dynasty in attacking the Dragon Alliance, all inhaled sharply, turned, and ran.
Including Yuan Tiandao.
"Yuan Tiandao, our fight isn’t over yet, and you want to leave."
Lu Yan had already locked onto Yuan Tiandao, appeared behind him, blocking his way, and slashed at Yuan Tiandao with his sword.
Yuan Tiandao could only swing his sword to meet the attack.
"Kill!"
After killing Yuan Wanggu, Tang Feng transformed back into his human form, spoke coldly, and his formidable presence locked onto a Third Step creator being.
It was the last of the Immortal Clan’s Third Step creator beings, the Immortal Nine-headed Bird.
A terrifying sword shadow descended towards the Immortal Nine-headed Bird.
The Immortal Nine-headed Bird, terrified, employed all its power to wield a Supreme Treasure in defense.
But with a clang, the Supreme Treasure was sent flying, and the sword shadow did not stop, landing on the Immortal Nine-headed Bird.
Pu pu pu...
All nine heads of the Immortal Nine-headed Bird were chopped off.
Then the Sword Light turned, cleaving the Immortal Nine-headed Bird’s body in half.
The Immortal Nine-headed Bird’s Primordial Spirit burst out, attempting to flee, but another Sword Light fell, and the Immortal Nine-headed Bird’s Primordial Spirit was utterly obliterated.
Just as Tang Feng was about to pursue the others, he saw Yuan Tiandao desperately repel Lu Yan and then plunge into the Origin Continent to try to escape using the continent’s power.
Yuan Tiandao was not someone Tang Feng was willing to let go of.
His powerful Spiritual Sense spread out, seeped into the earth, and then with a swing of his sword, a shadow of a sword plunged into the ground, seemingly illusory, piercing through the surface and deep into the earth, aiming at Yuan Tiandao.
Yuan Tiandao’s pupils contracted, and leveraging the power of the Origin Continent, he struck out with all his might with a sword.
But the moment his sword clashed with the Sword Light, his body was thrown back, his surface covered in sword wounds, coughing up blood profusely.
The next moment, Tang Feng’s second, third, fourth sword... strokes successively pierced out.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Feng released seven strikes.
Boom!
The ground shattered, and Yuan Tiandao was forced out from the depths of the earth. In a panic, he tried to flee, but Tang Feng was already in front of him, a dazzling Sword Light already enshrouding Yuan Tiandao.
Whoosh!
Tang Feng was decisive in his actions, without a hint of hesitation, a sword chopped down.
This sword, Tang Feng used his full strength, causing Yuan Tiandao to feel the threat of death.
Naturally, Yuan Tiandao was not willing to be killed just like that. He roared lowly, exerting his full strength to wield the All Things Furnace and the All-Encompassing Sword, but the moment they collided with Tang Feng’s Sword Light, they all shattered.
In the end, he swung the nine-cycle resurrection sword with all his might to counter, but with a bang, he was thrown backward, his arms trembling, the nine-cycle resurrection sword was sent flying from his grip.
Tang Feng immediately unleashed a second sword.
This sword, Yuan Tiandao could no longer dodge.
Just as the Sword Light was about to reach Yuan Tiandao, a terrifying aura suddenly burst from within him, and a figure emerged from Yuan Tiandao’s body, immense and overwhelming, striking out with a palm, and held back Tang Feng’s Sword Light.
"Primordial Ancestor..."
Yuan Tiandao was overjoyed.
"Hmm? The Primordial Ancestor?"
Tang Feng frowned.
However, he could see that this was not the original form of the Primordial Ancestor but a force or a split soul that the Primordial Ancestor had left within Yuan Tiandao.
Even if the Primordial Ancestor himself had appeared, Tang Feng had no intention of letting Yuan Tiandao go.
He transformed himself into the River of Sword Magic, charging towards Yuan Tiandao.
But at that moment, Tang Feng keenly felt that in the core of the Origin Continent, from within a bizarre black well, suddenly erupted startling fluctuations.
A terrible power transmitted from the black well, instantly spanning infinite distance, landing on Yuan Tiandao.
To be precise, it landed upon the split soul of the Primordial Ancestor, causing the split soul’s breath to surge and its power to greatly increase.
He struck out with his palm, his hand eclipsing the sky and colliding with the River of Sword Magic in midair, causing a standoff as they continuously clashed.
This clash lasted for over a dozen breaths, then the Primordial Ancestor’s enormous palm suddenly exerted force and repelled the River of Sword Magic.
However, he did not continue to attack but took Yuan Tiandao and shattered the space, speeding away, fleeing towards the Origin Dynasty.
After the River of Sword Magic was pushed back, with a flash of light, Tang Feng’s figure reappeared.
He did not give chase. His gaze seemed to penetrate billions of miles, looking toward the bizarre black well billions of miles away.
Lu Yan stood high in the sky, his pupils filled with arcane patterns as he similarly gazed toward the eerie black well.
At this time, from inside the eerie black well, the emanating aura grew stronger and more turbulent, as if some colossal entity was about to burst forth.
Boom!
A moment later, the black well exploded, and three figures rushed out from within.
Seeing these three figures, Lu Yan’s heart shook violently.
Because, among those three figures, one was Lu Ming.
The other two were Yin Xiantian and The Ruler of Desolate Heaven.
All three were soaked in blood, and upon bursting from the black well, they tore through the void, heading toward the Dragon Alliance. In the next instant, they appeared in front of Lu Yan, Tang Feng, and the others.
"Lu Ming, what happened?"
Tang Feng stepped forward to ask.
But before Lu Ming could speak, from the black well surged an immensely dreadful aura, a force far surpassing that of an ordinary True One.
Soon after, a towering figure emerged.
It was none other than the Primordial Ancestor.
Immediately following, behind the Primordial Ancestor, nine figures appeared.
The Emperor of the Nine Worlds, Immortal Ancestor, Holy Ancestor, Light Clan Imperial Ancestor...
All were the strongest beings of the True One State, native to the Origin Continent.
They stood respectfully behind the Primordial Ancestor.
The Primordial Ancestor’s gaze, distant and fixed upon Lu Ming, Tang Feng, Lu Yan and the others, was calm with a chilling intent to kill.
However, he did not strike, but instead, in a blink, arrived at the Origin Imperial Capital, appearing before Yuan Tiandao.
Yuan Tiandao was initially startled, but upon recognizing the Primordial Ancestor, he immediately rejoiced.
"Ancestor... You’ve returned."
Yuan Tiandao hastily bowed his fists in greeting.
"You... failed again?"
The Primordial Ancestor looked at Yuan Tiandao impassively, his pupils deep and unfathomable.
"Ancestor, I... My fusion with the All-Origin Body and the Origin was not perfect. Lu Yan caught me off-guard. Just wait until my fusion is perfect; then I will surely defeat Lu Yan, decapitate him, and avenge my previous disgrace."
Yuan Tiandao hastily explained.
"Hmm!"
The Primordial Ancestor nodded silently. Suddenly, with a flicker, he moved close to Yuan Tiandao, his palm striking like a sword’s edge toward Yuan Tiandao’s forehead.
This happened so abruptly that Yuan Tiandao was utterly unprepared.
But even if he had been prepared, he might still not have escaped, due to the Primordial Ancestor’s lightning speed.
His palm, like a phantom shadow, passed through Yuan Tiandao’s forehead and firmly grasped Yuan Tiandao’s Primordial Spirit, pulling it forth.
Yuan Tiandao was dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened. He struggled instinctively, yelling, "Ancestor, why does this happen?"
"Rest assured, your physique, I shall take. Your vendetta, I will avenge for you. Lu Yan’s head, I will sever on your behalf."
The Primordial Ancestor spoke coldly, his gaze frosty like a demon choosing its prey.
Yuan Tiandao was terrified; he finally realized that the Primordial Ancestor was after his physique.
Perhaps, this had been the Primordial Ancestor’s scheme all along.
To have him fuse with the Origin-Ancestor Body, then for the Primordial Ancestor to devour him, achieving the ultimate physique.
He struggled frantically, attempting to use the power of the Origin Continent to resist.
But he found that his connection with the Origin Continent was completely severed.
Origin-Ancestor Body.
He suddenly remembered that the Primordial Ancestor was the first Origin-Ancestor Body in history.
He desperately tried to invoke the mystery of the All-Origin Body, drawing upon the various laws and the power of all things to resist.
Yet, the vast and boundless power of the Origin Continent surged into the Primordial Ancestor’s body and then through his arm, smashing into Yuan Tiandao’s Primordial Spirit.
"Ah... Old thief, you shall not die well..."
Yuan Tiandao let out a hysterical scream. A moment later, his powerful Primordial Spirit was completely obliterated.
The Primordial Ancestor’s mouth opened wide, swallowing Yuan Tiandao’s body in one gulp. Then he sat down cross-legged, and above his head, the phantom of the Origin Continent emerged, beginning the fusion with Yuan Tiandao’s physique.
...
"Of the supreme beings that entered the eerie black well, aside from the strongest natives of the Origin Continent, all the others, except for us three, have died."
Lu Ming’s face was solemn as he revealed this earth-shattering news, shocking Lu Yan, Tang Feng, and the rest into speechlessness.
"All dead, how is that possible? There were twenty-seven supreme beings who entered the eerie black well, and now, only thirteen have come out..."
Lu Yan said in shock.
To lose fourteen supreme beings in an instant—such an event was unprecedented. Anyone who heard such news would find it hard to remain composed.
If it hadn’t been Lu Ming who said it, they would hardly believe it.
"Yes, those belonging to the boundless starry sky or those who had belonged to it but later joined the Origin Continent, like the Dark Emperor, all died."
Lu Ming added.
"How did they die?"
Tang Feng asked.
"Killed by the Primordial Ancestor. This eerie black well was a trap, a trap set by the Original Primordial Ancestor. Within the well lay the energy core of the Origin Continent, where he set up a Peerless Death Array, leveraging the entire continent’s power."
"Moreover, the Emperor of the Nine Worlds and others were under his control, turning against us suddenly. Although we realized it in time, we still suffered great losses. They surrounded us with the peerless array, intending to refine us all. After years of fighting, we barely managed to escape."
Lu Ming briefly explained.
