Chapter 1691 The Thief of the Dao, the Ancestor Falls!
break!
The extreme humiliation ignited the final madness of Prison Twelve!
The Primordial Ancestor's terrifying physical body erupted with unprecedented divine light as he brazenly unleashed his natal spiritual treasure, a treasure cultivated through the union of life and death—
【The Great Millstone of Purgatory and World Destruction】!
This great millstone, which had been stained with the blood of countless living beings in ancient times, slammed into the dark gold and blood-red prison walls with the boundless rage and destructive will of the Prison Ancestor, without reservation!
Boom boom boom——!!!!
An indescribable, terrifying roar exploded within the cramped space of the cage!
The sound was like billions of stars exploding at the same time, or like divine thunder from the heavens exploding in your ears!
The violent energy turbulence instantly turned the inside of the cage into a desolate wasteland!
however……
This cage belongs to a powerful figure from Langya—
That terrifying being who, at the end of ancient times, forced even the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory to avoid its sharp edge and was ultimately forced to lie dormant for countless years, specially designed a peerless array in the Forbidden Sea, which was set up with great effort to target its characteristics!
Its core purpose is to completely seal off and even obliterate the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory!
How could the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory, whose origin was damaged and who was trapped in the formation at this moment, forcefully break through it?
If it weren't for the fact that the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory was proficient in a mysterious and unpredictable life-saving technique called "Returning to Emptiness," originating from a celestial book of the spirit realm, making it difficult for the powerful beings of Langya to grasp its exact traces of its fundamental laws, then...
He was completely wiped out in ancient times!
Later, the powerful beings of Langya had to leave this world due to a more urgent summons from the upper realm. Before leaving, they laid out several backup plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
This grand formation that separates the two seas is the most crucial part of it!
Not bad.
This formation eventually fell into the hands of the Island Moving Venerable.
It was precisely because of this supreme inheritance from the powerful beings of Langya that Venerable Bandao was able to barely activate the core power of a corner of the great formation with his mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, thus trapping the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory, whose strength had greatly diminished, here!
This formation was a prison tailor-made for Him!
The seeds of this ruthless "ascend to heaven in one step" plan, which has been planned for a thousand years, were sown a thousand years ago.
At that time, Venerable One Who Moved Islands keenly perceived "Venerable One Who Observed Peace"—
This highly respected Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world harbored an inexplicable sense of unease.
After a carefully planned series of probing and "in-depth exchanges," he finally revealed a shocking secret:
"Venerable Guanping" is actually the mysterious high priest of the Purgatory Clan...
A crucial clone, carefully cultivated and infiltrated into the human race!
This confrontation became the starting point of a distorted "connection" between the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest.
Through several subsequent encounters, each driven by their own ulterior motives, the Island-Moving Venerable, with his cunning and the information he possessed, also managed to uncover the most crucial secret of the Purgatory Clan—
The existence of the "Ancestor"!
When the term "Ancestor," representing the true pinnacle of power in this world, reached the ears of the Island-Moving Venerable, coupled with the legacy left behind by the powerful figure of Langya...
A crazy and tempting plan, like the devil's whisper, instantly took hold of his mind—
If I could devour the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory... Refining Void Realm?
Even... beyond the true limits of this world?
A meteoric rise to power is just around the corner!
However, the joy was quickly extinguished by reality.
Although the great formation left behind by the powerful beings of Langya was strong, its core design was "sealing" and "suppressing," and it did not reserve the function of "safely absorbing the source" for later generations.
Even if you forcibly drive the array force to refine it, there will be no trace of the original law remaining.
On the contrary, it is more likely to suffer a terrible backlash, or even be devoured by it!
At that moment, the Venerable One Who Moved Islands' deep eyes locked onto the Venerable One Who Observed Peace once again—
Or rather, they've identified the High Priest of the Purgatory Clan behind it!
The high priest who oversees the sacrificial lineage knows the ancestor far better than outsiders. This high priest... might have a solution?
The most crucial thing is...
The High Priest himself is trapped in the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation realm for countless years. Is he willing to remain here forever?
Could it be... that he didn't have even a hint of... covetousness towards the ancestor's earth-shattering primordial power?
The Island-Moving Master made the right bet!
When the High Priest, through the avatar of "Venerable Guanping," received the almost fanatical proposal for cooperation and the promise of "sharing the origin" from Venerable Bandao...
The blood-robed figure, hidden deep within the ancient temple of the Purgatory Clan, fell into a long silence and struggle.
Ultimately, the extreme thirst for power, and the unspeakable resentment accumulated over the long reign of the progenitor, overwhelmed the loyalty etched deep in their blood.
A shocking conspiracy that transcends race and faith, and whose target is the ancestor of their own race, was quietly conspired in the secret chamber of two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
What followed was a thousand-year period of meticulous preparation, repeated deductions, and ruthless planning:
The exposure of "Venerable Guanping"?
It's part of the plan!
In order to provoke the anger and vigilance of the human/demon race towards the Purgatory Clan, and to foreshadow the great war to come,
This also allows the High Priest to better increase his influence among the Purgatory Clan.
The two joint attacks on the Purgatory Clan were also a core part of the plan!
The goal was to create a massive massacre, using the lives of countless people to deepen the hatred.
The fall of the Heavenly Demon Lord?
The bloodshed of the Purgatory Clan's divine messenger?
It is also an indispensable "offering"!
Only the fall of these top Nascent Soul cultivators could raise the intensity of the battle to a level that would alarm the sleeping monsters from all sides!
Add to that the allure of 'ascending to the spirit realm,' and no old monster could resist!
The plan was indeed successful.
All the dormant Nascent Soul stage monsters have been reborn!
"How can great things be accomplished without the deaths of many?"
"Without bloodshed, how can an altar be built?"
This was a cold consensus in the hearts of the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest.
Every fallen name is a stepping stone on their path to heaven!
As for the claim of refining "supreme forbidden artifacts"?
It's a perfect cover-up!
This explains why it is necessary to collect a vast amount of bloodthirsty power and the origin of laws.
It can also conceal the true purpose of the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Heavenly River Formation]—
It was not for forging forbidden artifacts, but rather... to draw out the true form of the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory, which had been silent for countless ages and kept hidden for so long!
After all, the blood-fiend power and the extremely obscure origin of laws contained within the blood-fiend mist...
That was the fundamental power of the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan.
The only variable that was beyond their expectations was this:
The profound heritage of the Golden Dragon Clan!
They never expected that the terrifying power of the ancient being sleeping within their tribe would be far beyond their expectations!
The instant that dragon soul appeared...
It gave the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest a real fright, almost making them think that the plan was going to fail!
Good thing...
It is unknown whether that dragon soul was eventually sealed away by the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan.
They still managed to kill him!
This eliminates unexpected factors.
Therefore, the several Nascent Soul stage demon lords of the Golden Dragon Clan were spared from becoming sacrifices.
Fortunately, the core components of the 'One Step to Heaven' plan have been completed, and the number of fallen Nascent Soul experts is sufficient!
That's enough to support the operation of the secret array!
It's no longer relevant to the overall situation!
Outside the cage!
The pupils of the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest suddenly contracted, then instantly blazed with almost burning ecstasy—
The tremors of the dark gold cage were becoming weak and feeble, and the roar of the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] had turned into a dying sob.
"Fellow Daoist, our cultivation has made great progress, and it's just around the corner!"
Congratulations! Congratulations!
"···"
Within the dark golden cage, under the corrosive influence of endless dark mist...
The fundamental laws of the Primordial Ancestor of the Purgatory Clan are constantly changing in nature!
Deep within the prison, a violent ferocity born from being driven to desperation is brewing.
The roar of the Primordial Ancestor was no longer in vain, but instead revealed a madness that could burn the entire world.
Especially when He sensed that His own fundamental laws were being stripped away by the dark mist—
The lingering hesitation in his bloodshot eyes shattered completely!
Destroying one's own foundation?
To sever the path and sacrifice oneself?
This kind of excruciating pain is enough to make even the most powerful beings in the heavens back down.
But at this moment, the endless dark mist is turning into a death warrant, tearing away at His last shred of consciousness:
Either you become someone else's wedding gown and fall into eternal damnation!
Either... we'll all perish together!
"You ants who steal the Dao... How could you possibly devour the very essence of my laws?!"
His soul flame collapsed to a single point like a dying star, and his cracked lips stretched into an inhuman arc.
"You want the origin?"
Take it—use your lives to pay for it!
"—Give me a...blast—!!!"
The Sun of Annihilation!
Without a sound of preparation, a point of extreme crimson at the center of the cage suddenly expanded—
That is not light, but the ultimate form of the law itself being ignited!
Time seems to stand still here, and space seems to shatter like glass!
The dark gold cage emitted a groan like a cosmic membrane struggling under its own weight, as it was pierced by beams of dazzling light.
It was as if beams of light pierced through the boundless dark clouds, illuminating this void.
Click! !
Cha——!
At this moment, this peerless formation was actually torn open, creating a gap!
Obviously.
The self-destruction power of the Purgatory Clan is limited to this.
It did not cause the two Dao Thieves outside the Dark Gold Cage any harm whatsoever.
At that very moment, a stream of dark fire, condensed to a level beyond comprehension, burst forth from the core of destruction, tearing through the boiling spatial rift and disappearing into the endless turbulence!
Its speed was so great that it even left a lasting, blood-stained scorch mark on the barrier of time and space!
This sudden turn of events caught both the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest completely off guard.
The ecstasy on the faces of the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest instantly froze!
Their incantation paused for a moment—
"How can it be?!"
The star trajectory that the Island-Moving Venerable had calculated with his fingertips shattered with a deafening roar, and for the first time, horror appeared in his eyes.
The high priest stared intently at the healing spatial rift, his hands clenched so tightly within his wide sleeves that his knuckles turned white, as if he were trying to grab the escaped treasure from afar.
They never imagined that the ancestor of the Purgatory Clan, who was suppressed in this peerless array, could unleash such terrifying power.
But how can a thousand years of planning be allowed to fail at the last hurdle?
The Island-Moving Venerable dared not pause for a moment, his ten fingers flying like phantoms, drawing down the power of all the stars in the heavens.
The crack on the surface of the dark gold cage was forcibly closed amidst a piercing metallic wail.
The high priest even bit his tongue and spat out a stream of blood essence, which transformed into countless scarlet chains that bound the prison cage!
As the hand seals on His hands changed, the scarlet runes branded onto the cage flickered continuously...
Within the dark mist, the elliptical law particles and the power of the Blood Fiend Law that had not yet been corrupted by the dark mist also ceased their annihilation.
Like frozen crimson stardust, suspended in churning black mist.
Seeing that the fundamental law of annihilation was under control, a barely perceptible hint of relaxation flashed across Venerable Island Moving's eyes.
High Priest!
We all underestimated this ancestor...
Even at the cost of annihilating their own fundamental laws, they would unleash a heaven-burning strike!
"What a pity!"
The law particles that could have helped us directly reach the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm are now less than three-tenths remaining.
His voice was deep, but his gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing the void rift where the eerie light had vanished:
"What's even more regrettable is the noble family's clan-protecting artifact, which was powerful enough to 'grind' a great world apart..."
Having fallen into the turbulent flow of time, it seems there will be no chance of ever seeing each other again!
Not bad!
A wisp of eerie light just escaped from the cage; it was none other than the Purgatory Clan's clan-protecting spiritual treasure...
【The Great Millstone of Purgatory and World Destruction】!
Although Venerable One of the Island Moving said it was a pity, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
after all.
That Hellfire Millstone, though an incredibly terrifying spiritual treasure, could not be unleashed by any other race, not even a fraction of its power.
Only cultivators of the Purgatory Clan can display seven or eight tenths of its power.
As for ultimate power, it is currently only possessed by the Primordial Ancestor of the Purgatory Clan, who has transformed into a state of law particles.
But it won't be long...
Once the dark mist has completely eroded all the law particles within the cages, no one in the world will be able to display the ultimate divine power of this magical treasure.
therefore.
This supreme spiritual treasure was lost in the turbulent flow of time and space; for him...
It was absolutely divine intervention!
It's better than falling into the hands of the high priest, becoming a sword hanging over his head!
Hear this.
The high priest's face remained calm and composed, but his fingernails had already dug into his palms from his sleeves.
"Just an inanimate object."
His voice was dry and hoarse, like gravel grinding against each other, yet in the next instant it was tempered with an icy resolve:
"We have been planning for a thousand years, and what we seek is the 'Refining Emptiness Dao Fruit'!"
Having obtained this source today, even if it is only 30%, it is enough to cleave the path to heaven!
Why worry about external things?
He suddenly raised his hand, and the dormant scarlet runes on the cage walls burst into flames!
The entire cage transformed into a rapidly spinning furnace of flesh and blood.
"Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes."
Refining the remnants of the source and immediately gaining enlightenment is the right path!
Hear the words.
“Fellow Daoist, your words make sense.” Venerable Island Moving nodded slightly.
"Since the opponent is now powerless to resist, we should quickly strip away its fundamental laws."
To avoid unforeseen complications arising over time.
Immediately.
The Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest were not chatting idly; their eyes were fixed intently on the dark gold cage, and their hands moved even faster in forming hand seals.
soon.
The dark mist within the cage surged and billowed...
Each oval-shaped, blood-red law particle was being eroded by the dark mist.
The eroded law particles no longer shimmer with soul light.
Obviously.
These corrupted law particles have no connection whatsoever with the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan.
It is somewhat similar to the laws within a spiritual being that has not yet been comprehended.
Time slips away, bit by bit...
The progenitor of the Purgatory Clan has also entered his death countdown.
As the last oval-shaped, crimson law particle was eroded by the dark mist...
The once formidable Yu Twelve did not perish at the hands of the powerful enemy, Langya.
Instead, he was crushed into dust by two Dao thieves from the lower realm through their schemes.
With the last particle of law extinguishing the soul light...
The progenitor of the Purgatory Clan, who has traversed countless ages—
"Prison Twelve" has been completely wiped out of the world! (End of Chapter)
