218: Chapter 217 The Ancestor Dies, Transforming into a Channel

"Human Sovereign brother, it seems I must take my leave first."

Martial Venerable sighed. With his Origin completely burnt out, he stared at the heavily injured Ancestor Xuan, took a step, and instantly arrived by Ancestor Xuan's side.

Just as Ancestor Xuan raised his greatsword to defend,

A thunderous roar resounded.

Martial Venerable self-detonated. The terrifying energy fluctuations directly caused the surrounding area to collapse and cave in.

"Kill!"

The Human Sovereign let out a great roar.

The spear in his hand pierced directly into Ancestor Xuan's skull.

"You all deserve to die!"

Ancestor Xuan was furious. His mangled body, already devastated by the self-detonation, saw its restorative energy grind to a halt because of the Human Sovereign's spear strike.

He sent the Human Sovereign flying with a single punch.

Just as he was about to pursue,

He saw an Immortal Venerable, just like Martial Venerable, charging toward him with a conviction of certain death.

"Damn it, you bunch of lunatics!"

Fighting up to this point, a hint of retreat finally rose in Ancestor Xuan's heart.

But before he could dodge,

He saw the Human Sovereign attacking once more. A spear was thrust into his chest, and then the figure flickered, jumping far away.

Boom...

That Immortal Venerable seized this brief opening.

He arrived directly in front of Ancestor Xuan, and another terrifying self-detonation echoed through the Boundary Sea.

Ancestor Xuan, already heavily wounded, suffered even greater injuries. His flesh completely dissolved, leaving only a skeleton behind.

"You... you lunatics... I'll see you all dead and without a grave!" Ancestor Xuan was filled with grief and rage. At this moment, he was truly at risk of falling.

Under the assault of over twenty Peak Venerable Realm experts who had ignited their Origins,

Even with an absolute advantage in Realm, after thousands of years of warfare, his strength was drained dry. He was only holding on by the sheer strength of his Ancestor physique.

But these few remaining opponents,

Were the most ferocious among the besiegers. If he hadn't come and they had been given enough time, these powerhouses would all have been qualified to charge into the Emperor Venerable Realm.

At the very least, they would have reached the Half-Step Realm.

"Human Sovereign, we'll leave the cleanup to you." The two remaining Immortal Venerables nodded to the Human Sovereign and simultaneously ignited the last of their Origin power.

With a whistle,

They reached Ancestor Xuan and exploded violently.

Boom...

The Boundary Sea shook.

The self-detonation of two Peak Venerable Realm experts who had ignited their Origins even caused half of the Eastern Region to collapse.

"Die!"

A flash of cold light flickered.

Before the explosion had even subsided, the Human Sovereign raised his spear and charged into the center of the blast, once again piercing through Ancestor Xuan's skull.

Buzz...

Ancestor Xuan's skeletal body shattered. It seemed he was about to be completely obliterated.

He let out a violent roar, and in the heart of the explosion, he forcibly merged the fragments of his greatsword and thrust it savagely into the Human Sovereign's flame of Origin.

Whoosh...

The Origin was extinguished.

The light gradually faded from the Human Sovereign's eyes.

But at the final moment of his life, the silver-white spear fused into the Human Sovereign's body, forcibly preserving a sliver of consciousness.

"Old friend, thank you."

The Human Sovereign grabbed Ancestor Xuan's shattered bones and chuckled softly. "What Emperor Venerable? Still so pathetic. If we fought in the same Realm, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog."

As his voice fell,

A violent surge of energy exploded within the Human Sovereign's body. The terrifying shockwave was extremely intense; the entire Eastern Region was collapsing, and the Boundary Sea was dissolving over a vast area.

And Ancestor Xuan, at the very center of the explosion, was now crumbling inch by inch.

That immortal and indestructible body, under the siege of over twenty Peak Venerable Realm experts, was completely blown to pieces, turning into bits of black mist that dissipated into the Boundary Sea.

Buzz...

The Ancient Ship vibrated.

As Ancestor Xuan finally died, that pool of water covered the entire Ancient Ship, transforming it into an immensely large, pitch-black passage.

An extremely powerful and ominous force reached out from within the passage.

This was the handiwork of another Eerie Ancestor.

However, that ancestor clearly did not dare to cross over. After finishing the probe, his figure did not appear in the passage; instead, a massive number of Red-Haired Monsters began to pour out.

An endless stream,

Charging toward the Boundary Sea.

On the boundary line, the hearts of the gathered powerhouses sank to the bottom.

How could they withstand so many monsters?

Unconcealable killing intent flashed in Ji Xingyue's eyes as she shouted loudly, "Everyone else, retreat from the front line and construct a sealing formation!"

As her voice fell,

She didn't care what the others chose to do.

With the flickering of her Double Pupils, a Way of Time and Space extended infinitely along the boundary line, blocking the path of the countless Red-Haired Monsters.

Buzz...

This battlefield shook.

Ji Xingyue had forcibly constructed a displaced time tunnel, trapping the charging Red-Haired Monsters within it.

But this was only a temporary measure.

The time tunnel could not hold them forever.

"Venerable Mu, there's no other way. With such a terrifying number of monsters, unless we cast the Heaven-Sealing Grand Array again, we won't be able to stop them. But we no longer have nine Immortal Venerables."

A powerhouse of the Supreme Realm who had ignited his Origin walked to the boundary line, looking at the hundreds of trapped monsters and shaking his head slightly.

With a bitter smile,

This Supreme Realm expert charged out of the time tunnel's barrier toward the passage formed by the Ancient Ship.

Boom...

Amidst the terrifying sound of an explosion,

A Supreme Realm expert self-detonated at the mouth of the passage. The fearsome shockwave only managed to shake the passage slightly, failing to produce any substantial effect.

Seeing this, the expressions of the others darkened. They had slain three Eerie Ancestors, but in the end, they might not survive this final tribulation.

If those Peak Immortal Venerables were still alive,

They would surely have been able to use the Heaven-Sealing Grand Array once more to seal it off.

"Stop wasting words and start using your methods to set up defensive measures along this boundary line."

Ji Xingyue spoke coldly.

Her Liu Mei furrowed deeply. Since the start of the great war, she had already sealed four large Red-Haired Monsters.

Afterward, in order to revive Ye Xiu, she had consumed ninety percent of her own Main World power and the time-space power within her Double Pupils.

Faced with this situation now, she felt powerless.

If she didn't retreat, perhaps in less than a thousand years, she would be worn down to death here.

But the General was still recovering his cultivation.

She could not retreat.

...

...

The Guixu Reincarnation World.

Ye Xiu's expression was extremely heavy as he stared solemnly at the black passage in the Boundary Sea.

The current situation was imminent.

He didn't know how many Eerie Ancestors were on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea, but with three already slain within the Boundary Sea, the pressure on the final battlefield at the Other Shore would definitely be greatly reduced.

But...

The power of the Immortal Realm and the Main World was also almost completely exhausted.

The strongest forces had all perished. Even among the secondary, ordinary Supreme Realm experts, those remaining could be counted on two hands.

To think of dealing with that endless stream of Red-Haired Monsters was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Buzz...

Ye Xiu wanted to quickly recover his cultivation.

But having nearly died, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't recover his strength in a short time.

Watching the situation that Ji Xingyue was increasingly unable to control,

He knew that if he didn't make a decision, the woman who had pulled him back from extinction might be worn to death on that Boundary Sea front line.

Sigh...

With a soft sigh,

Ye Xiu slowly stood up and looked at Alice. "Give me the control of this Reincarnation world."

"Mr. Ye, have you decided?"

Alice didn't seem surprised. Controlling the Lord of Guixu's Sea of Consciousness, she naturally knew many of his secrets.

Without a word,

A great seal materialized within the Reincarnation world.

This was the Lord of Guixu's contingency. It only needed to fuse with his true spirit to restart the functions of his remains.

And allow him to return once more.

Buzz...

Ye Xiu reached out and took the seal handed to him by Alice.

Extremely familiar memories awakened in his mind. His entire body began to dissolve, turning into divine light and merging with the seal.

This state did not last long.

When Ye Xiu turned into divine light and completely disappeared,

Guixu shook.

A divine light tore through Guixu, broke through the River of Time, and cast its reflection into the Boundary Sea.

"Jiang Ming... it really is you..."

A roar filled with boundless killing intent erupted from the passage formed by the Ancient Ship.

On the boundary of the Eastern Region,

Ji Xingyue froze for a moment. She turned her head toward the Main World. There, within Guixu, a decayed corpse slowly stood up.

That terrifying majesty was even more horrifying than that of an Eerie Ancestor.

"Why..."

She murmured to herself. Shaking her head slightly, she closed her Double Pupils and chose to enter self-slumber.

Buzz...

The time tunnel collapsed.

Countless Red-Haired Monsters broke free and charged toward the figures guarding the final boundary.
