214: Chapter 213 Burning the Origin, Battling the Progenitor

Weng...

The Ancient Ship was trembling.

The ominous qi in the pool grew denser; beneath the pool water, it seemed to connect to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

A great war was raging outside.

Inside the Ancient Ship, there was also terrifying pressure.

"My Lord, let it out. An Ancestor who has lost its undying attribute—this is a rare opportunity." Gu slowly stepped out from the golden sphere, his voice tinged with excitement.

The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea was a world of immortality.

These Eerie Ancestors were unkillable on the Other Shore; even that Heavenly Emperor, with his boundless might, could only suppress them.

He could not completely kill these Ancestor-level eerie beings.

Back then, he had been cursed to death by an Ancestor, ending up in his current state.

Ye Xiu looked at Gu and asked, "How much of your combat power do you have left?"

"This general's battle body is damaged. Even if I forcibly revive, I cannot deal with an Ancestor, but My Lord certainly can."

"Burning the Origin, sublimation to the extreme Realm..."

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the Ancient Ship to look directly at the Eastern Region battlefield.

At this moment, Emperor Teng was boundlessly powerful, his Immortal Blade almost splitting the Boundary Sea. Progenitor was strong, but under the Immortal Blade, he was also retreating steadily, not daring to fight Emperor Teng to the death.

After a long silence.

He finally nodded: "Then let's kill an Ancestor for fun."

"My Lord, your body from back then might be able to..."

"The body from back then, ha... Gu, do you think a decaying remnant body can really slay an Ancestor?"

"Although My Lord's body has decayed, if the true spirit returns, it will surely be able to reactivate the power of the past, thereby resolving the current crisis."

"But what if it fails?"

Ye Xiu looked at the increasingly boiling pool water.

He shook his head slightly.

He continued: "I don't care what happened to the Lord of Guixu back then. Everything you say is just your speculation, Gu... You haven't reached the Emperor Realm; can you truly understand that Realm?"

"This general..."

Gu was somewhat speechless.

The true spirit returning to the body could briefly awaken the main body, but how long it could be maintained was impossible to judge; there had never been a reference for this.

After all, from ancient times to the present.

The number of Cultivators who could reach the Emperor Realm could be counted on one hand.

And they were basically all Cultivators from the Immortal Domain.

The true spirit awakening the body was merely a hypothesis; no one knew if it would actually work.

"Go assist in suppressing the Eastern Region border. I'll handle things here."

Ye Xiu didn't say anything more on this matter.

The current situation was already very dangerous. If he couldn't block the arriving Ancestor and let it enter other battlefields, it would be a devastating blow to the Cultivators outside.

Emperor Teng was strong.

But burning the Origin will lead to death.

The best outcome would be to kill Progenitor before completely fading away.

If another Ancestor appeared on the battlefield, Emperor Teng, who originally had a significant advantage, would surely be surrounded and killed, leading to total chaos on the battlefield.

He had to block this arriving Ancestor for him.

Gu sighed.

He said no more. As he stepped forward, his skeletal body began to emit an extremely intense light.

Weng...

The battlefield shook.

With one step, Gu had already crushed several Red-Haired Monsters.

"Father..."

The Eastern Emperor was stunned, a hint of shock in his eyes.

Gu!

The Supreme Realm experts present were all shaken; this legendary figure, said to be even more powerful than Emperor Teng, had actually returned.

Northern Region.

Emperor Teng and Progenitor had already fought their way out of the Eastern Region battlefield.

Feeling Gu's aura now, Emperor Teng laughed: "Evil demon, it seems you are nothing more than this. Today is the day of your extinction."

"Hmph... Burning your Origin, how long can you keep laughing?"

Progenitor did not clash head-on with Emperor Teng. Terrifying death intent transformed into death light, breaking through the Northern Region and shining directly onto the Ancient Ship.

Seeing this, Emperor Teng's brow furrowed, then he sneered: "Heh... Calling for help? It seems you've really reached your limit."

Shiu...

The Immortal Blade shone upon the world.

After shattering the endless death light, it fiercely sent Progenitor flying.

Die!

Immortal light flared.

Emperor Teng, like the only True God, held the Immortal Blade and slashed directly at Progenitor's head.

At this critical moment.

Progenitor roared: "Do you really think this seat is afraid of you?"

Boom...

The Great Halberd trembled.

Progenitor stopped dodging. To stall for time, he had been suppressed for so long; even a clay man has three points of fire, let alone an Ancestor.

With a full-scale eruption.

The combat fluctuations between the two became even more terrifying.

Everywhere they passed, the Domains were completely shattered, and the broken Domain fragments turned into towering waves, stirring up an unprecedentedly terrifying tsunami in the Northern Region.

Just when everyone thought the war was won.

From the Ancient Ship.

A beam of death light soared into the sky, illuminating the Eastern Region.

With the impact of the ominous power, all the Red-Haired Monsters on the battlefield seemed to be strengthened, roaring as they charged at those blocking them.

"The true spirit is indestructible... Hmph... Jiang Ming, today this seat will destroy your true spirit."

Progenitor Yuan stepped out from the pool.

At first glance, he saw Ye Xiu, who had been waiting by his side.

He couldn't help but let out a cold sneer.

"Just with you?"

Ye Xiu's expression was somewhat indifferent. His Origin power was burning, and an unimaginable radiance emerged from his body.

At this moment.

Great power surged, instantly filling his entire body.

His aura skyrocketed, and a power that did not belong to the Half-Step Emperor Realm appeared within his body.

This caused the original great power to be coated in an extremely brilliant radiance.

"Burning the Origin—why do you living beings always like to play such little tricks?" Progenitor Yuan was somewhat disdainful, even if the opponent forcibly reached the same height as himself.

But unsustainable power is, after all, illusory.

"A little trick? Heh... How about trying this move."

Fist light illuminated the world.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist erupted, carrying an unmatched power as it blasted toward Progenitor Yuan at high speed.

Boom...

The Eastern Region shook.

A huge hole was directly blasted into the Ancient Ship.

The arm Progenitor Yuan used to block the fist light broke instantly. He spoke slowly with a hint of surprise: "You actually learned this fist technique. It seems I underestimated you."

As he spoke, he soared into the air, shooting toward the direction of Emperor Teng.

Clearly, he wanted to first unite with Progenitor to kill Emperor Teng before dealing with Ye Xiu.

"Heh... Wanting to leave? Have you asked this King?"

Ye Xiu took a step and directly blocked Progenitor Yuan. His great power, carrying a radiant glow, fiercely blasted toward Emperor Yuan.

"Hmph... Burning your Origin, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Although Progenitor Yuan spoke arrogantly, he still didn't clash head-on with Ye Xiu. As long as he waited until the opponent's Origin finished burning, he wouldn't even need to fight; the opponent would completely perish.

Why suffer for nothing?

And...

He felt a hint of wariness toward Jiang Ming. In this Boundary Sea where one could not be resurrected, dying once meant complete extinction.

He didn't dare to gamble.

After all, the Jiang Ming of back then was boundlessly powerful; almost all of these Ancestors had suffered great losses at his hands.

If they hadn't plotted to kill him.

The Ancestral Land would likely still be at an absolute disadvantage.

It wouldn't be like today, where they could free up their hands to come to this world of living beings.
