Chapter 473: Heavenly Destiny True Spirit
"Kill!"
Chu Zheng's whispered voice echoed within the melting domain of the Chaos Sea, akin to tolling the death knell of the Immortal Path.
Before the words had fully faded, numerous Ancient Ancestors of the Universe, long poised for action, erupted like savage beasts freed from their chains.
Su Lingyun could barely contain himself, as if the slaughtering weapon suppressed for endless ages suddenly unsheathed, transforming into millions of Sword Qi, whose bone-chilling killing intent tore through space-time, targeting the four Immortal Ancestors.
The Erosion Sun Rain turned into a bloody rainbow, following closely behind, while the other Ancient Ancestors each employed their techniques, either invoking space-time laws or wielding ancient Dao Weapons, the killing intent weaving into a net, instantly transforming this portion of the starry sky into a space-time deadlock.
The Ancestor Realm giants from the Great Universe did not make a move, but stood silently, keenly observing this inevitably brutal purge, their breaths heavy and silent as mountains.
Their stance, though wordless, cooperated with Chu Zheng, blocking all possible escape nodes of Feng Ting and others, invisible pressure like billions of Stars falling, pressing heavily on the hearts of the four Immortal Ancestors.
Foremost was Feng Ting, who understood in the instant Chu Zheng uttered the word 'kill' that there was no room for any fluke or turning point.
A despair so extreme shredded his rationality instantly, replaced by an almost hysterical madness.
Feng Ting's narrow eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot threads; he did not fix his gaze on Chu Zheng but fiercely stared at the Four Ancestors of the Martial Hall, the murmur escaping from his throat shrill like a dying beast:
"Yan Feng..."
Only today did he see clearly; Yan Feng sacrificed himself to mend the boundary, transferring half of Heaven's Fortune to the Immortal Path, stalling the onset of the Dao War, not for the Great Universe, but equally to buy time for Chu Zheng.
Feng Ting took a deep breath, his gaze grew cold, holding nothing back, an unprecedented blazing Immortal Light erupted around him.
A Heavenly Gnomon appeared behind Feng Ting, stretching across the Star River, alternating between incandescent flowing flames and pitch-black mysterious ice, the black and white needles enveloped in Yin Yang Dual Qi, rotating slowly above, gradually converging.
With a flick of the needles' unification, nearby space-time was abruptly severed and turned into a forbidden domain.
Countless inherent Immortal Dao Laws, formed from Feng Ting burning his origin, condensed into Chaotic Immortal Light, traversing the Stars Universe, wielding Immortal Charm potent enough to sever causal lines, slicing directly toward many Ancient Ancestors.
This was the ultimate sublimation of Feng Ting's lifetime foundation, where the passing Immortal Light easily sliced through space-time barriers like thin paper, leaving behind an eternal Immortal Road radiating destruction.
Its overwhelming might slightly stalled the approaching attacks of many Ancient Ancestors.
The three Immortal Ancestors followed closely behind Feng Ting, all striking with full force in an instant, world-burning Immortal Radiance suddenly rising.
With both palms raised to the sky, Taiyi Chaozong summoned forth a Profound Yellow Jade Seal shattering space, myriad dragon shadows coiled around the seal, roaring, releasing shocking Immortal Qi sufficient to suppress the Myriad Heavens and Realms.
The seal's surface Immortal Talisman burned the sky, transforming Chaotic Qi into billions of Profound Yellow True Dragons, attempting to tear apart the confinement of space-time, a Lifebound Ancestor Weapon he had refined for billions of eons, exhibiting earth-shaking power as soon as summoned.
Blood radiance suddenly gleamed in Xuling Jun's eyes, his entire body erupted with Red Sun Immortal Gang, its light utmost pure and fierce, originating from the bloodline of Immortal Ancestor Direct Lineage, instantly boiling, ancient power violently awakening from deep in the blood, aura soared, form morphing into an illusory rainbow, seemingly eager to pierce the sun and break through the sky, burning blood, fleeing into the void.
Ni Huang Immortal Ancestor emitted a piercing and stone-cracking screech, her exquisite visage instantly stripped away, revealing true form embodiment, Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix spread wings, covering the sky, Seven Extremes Divine Flame burning feathers and setting the sky ablaze, the sound of scorching void ear-piercing, weaving a cosmos-consuming seven-colored fiery ocean.
The Ancient Fierce Bird, ferocity reaching the sky, in the ultimate deadlock, abandoned Immortal Dao Techniques, attempting to burn through the cage ahead with Lifebound Divine Flame.
Feng Ting further propelled his own origin, forcibly gathered Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny to shield his body, Yin Yang Heavenly Hourglass Immortal Radiance further skyrocketed, seeming to shatter the cage in an instant.
However, just as the aura of the four Immortal Ancestors reached its peak, about to explode, a sudden change occurred.
Their forms simultaneously shook, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, within a flash, their spines were severed.
The terrifying aura that had just burst, enough to shake the Universe, collapsed like a bursting bubble, pouring over a thousand miles!
The Boundary Seal raised by Taiyi Chaozong instantly dimmed, myriad dragons wailing and dispersing, the treasure's glow completely faded.
The blood light burning around Xuling Jun flickered like a candle in the wind, the Pure Yang Immortal Gang wavered violently, then suddenly extinguished, the illusory blood shadow solidified, face turned paper-thin.
Ni Huang Immortal Ancestor's Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix form trembled fiercely, radiant feathers dimmed, seven-colored flames extinguished, plunged to the ground with a mournful cry, large body uncontrollably falling.
Feng Ting's condensed Chaotic Immortal Light directly dispersed, the counterforce emitted from Yin Yang Heavenly Hourglass caused him to violently spit out a mouthful of crimson Immortal Blood, breath feeble as gossamer.
"Immortal Path, you deserve death!"
Feng Ting, eyes tearing blood, roared with a voice like falling into icy purgatory, unable to suppress the terror in his heart.
In that instant, he had already grasped the cause and effect.
This place was not the Vast Universe, Chaos Sea's barrier was easily erased by Chu Zheng, the Heavenly Dao Laws of this region were seamlessly connected with the Great Universe.
And their foundation for becoming Ancestors, Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny, which obscurely held control over Immortal Dao fate, granting them the Ancestor Realm status, the Immortal Dao Heavenly Fate True Spirit, at that decisive moment, made the most self-serving decision.
It... directly abandoned the four of them, akin to a gecko shedding its tail for survival, Heavenly Destiny True Spirit at the critical juncture, without hesitating, forcibly withdrew the Heavenly Destiny Origin that reinforced Feng Ting and the other three.
