175: Origin Phoenix Ancestor's Arrival

In the starry sky, Long Yin and God Ember were already locked in battle.

Dragon shadows surged, and dragon claws tore through the Void Realm.

Divine fire burned the heavens, and fist imprints collapsed the stars.

Every collision sent tremors through hundreds of millions of miles of the starry sky; the will of the heavenly dao of the nearby Major Thousand Worlds issued frantic warnings, doing its utmost to protect the living beings within its boundaries.

But even so, ten Major Thousand Worlds that were too close had their world barriers completely shattered under the continuous impact of the aftershocks, their Origins dissipating as they met their end.

Long Yin grew more courageous as he fought, the ancestral dragon phantasm becoming increasingly solid during the battle, and his dragon might grew more vast.

God Ember, on the other hand, grew more alarmed the longer he fought.

He had originally thought that by going all out, he could take down Long Yin within ten moves.

But now, after a hundred moves, although Long Yin was at a disadvantage, covered in wounds, and his Aura was beginning to falter, he showed no signs of collapse!

This resilience, this combat power, was simply inconceivable!

"Junior, I admit I underestimated you." God Ember pulled back, his eyes dark and sinister. "To have lasted half an hour against me, you have reason to be proud."

He no longer held back; the divine fire around him retracted inward, and his Aura became even more terrifying:

"But the game ends here."

"divine ancestor true body, descend!"

A divine ancestor phantasm, even more solid and massive than the one the God Emperor had previously condensed, emerged behind God Ember!

The phantasm stood hundreds of millions of feet tall, wearing a crown of fire and divine armor, wielding a spear burning with eternal divine fire, exuding a supreme majesty that could incinerate the eight desolations!

God Ember's physical body merged into the phantasm's brow; the phantasm instantly came to life, its eyes snapping open as two beams of crimson-gold light pierced through the Void Realm, locking onto Long Yin!

"Divine Punishment—Spear of Eternal Embers!"

The divine ancestor phantasm raised the flaming spear and hurled it at Long Yin!

This spear strike concentrated eighty percent of God Ember's power!

As the spear flew, time and space froze, and the Great Dao retreated; wherever the spear tip passed, all things returned to nothingness, leaving only a trail of eternal silence and burning destruction!

This was a killing blow!

Long Yin's pupils constricted as he felt a fatal threat!

The dragon power within his body boiled, and the ancestral dragon phantasm roared to the heavens, attempting to make a final stand.

But there was ultimately a gap in their strength; bolstered by the divine ancestor true body, God Ember's combat power had reached the Peak Immortal Emperor level!

It seemed the flaming spear was about to pierce the ancestral dragon phantasm and completely destroy Long Yin.

At the critical moment!

Suddenly, Di Yan's words flashed through Long Yin's mind.

At the same time, the dormant Origin Ancestral Dragon Bloodline within him surged violently under the stimulus of the life-and-death crisis!

"Roar—!!!"

A dragon roar, older, more majestic, and more terrifying than before, echoed from the depths of Long Yin's Soul!

The ancestral dragon phantasm surrounding him suddenly erupted with blinding light of Chaos!

The phantasm's scales became clearer, its horns more formidable, its claws sharper; a supreme Aura of world-creation erupted!

The Bloodline had achieved Awakening once more, if only by a sliver!

Though it was just a sliver, it caused Long Yin's combat power to skyrocket several times over!

"Ancestral Dragon Heaven-Opening—Break!"

Long Yin's eyes turned crimson-gold, burning with unyielding Battle Intent; he controlled the transformed ancestral dragon phantasm to strike at the all-consuming flaming spear with a claw!

"Clang—!!!"

The sound of metal clashing rang through the starry sky, and the violent shockwave completely wiped out the remaining nearby stars!

The flaming spear trembled violently; Long Yin exerted sudden force, and the spear began to shatter from its tip, the cracks instantly spreading through the entire shaft.

Finally, under Long Yin's furious shout, it shattered inch by inch, dissipating into flecks of fire.

"What?!" God Ember's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had used the divine ancestor true body and eighty percent of his power, yet he couldn't kill his opponent.

Although Long Yin's ancestral dragon phantasm had also dimmed significantly, and numerous wounds had split open across his body, with golden dragon blood spilling into the starry sky and his Aura reaching its lowest point.

But he had, indeed, blocked that killing blow!

"A Breakthrough in adversity?" God Ember's voice was dry, and he suddenly felt a burning pain in his cheeks.

In the distance, the Divine Thoughts of the Immortal Kings who were spying also fell into dead silence.

In the heart of every Immortal King, stormy waves were surging!

A Peak Immortal King enduring a wrathful strike from a late stage immortal emperor without dying?

What kind of monster was this Long Yin?!

The God Emperor's expression was ugly to the extreme.

He had already estimated the Dynasty's strength to be great, but he hadn't expected Long Yin's combat power to reach such a terrifying level.

To be able to fight across four minor Realms above the Immortal King level—though he was still outmatched—such terrifying talent made his future achievements hard to believe.

An Immortal Emperor, or perhaps a Daluo Heavenly Emperor who surpassed the Immortal Emperor level.

That would be the strongest being in this Universe.

Could it be that Long Yin would have the chance to reach it in the future?

No, impossible.

If Long Yin's talent was so strong, why had he existed for a million years only to barely reach the Immortal King Realm?

After God Ember's brief shock came endless shame and fury!

He had been unable to take down a native from a Lower Realm branch for so long; had he been slapped in the Face in public?

This was simply a humiliation!

"Good, good, good!" God Ember laughed in his rage, the divine fire around the divine ancestor phantasm burning fiercely as his Aura began to climb infinitely. "I'll see how many times you can block!"

He prepared to use ten-tenths of his power to completely erase Long Yin from this world!

Long Yin was now at the end of his rope; the previous strike had exhausted all his strength and tapped into his potential, and now even maintaining the ancestral dragon phantasm was extremely difficult.

He looked at God Ember, whose Aura was constantly climbing, and sighed in his heart:

"Big brother, the half-hour is up. Where is the surprise you mentioned?"

There was no blame in his tone, only a hint of regret.

At the very moment God Ember was about to unleash the fatal blow.

"You dare touch my person? Die!"

A cold female voice came from the depths of the starry sky, echoing through the entire celestial expanse!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

God Ember's Aura, which had climbed to its Peak, suddenly froze!

He looked up sharply at the sky above, his eyes instantly filled with endless fear.

He saw a giant hand condensed purely of flame, appearing at the zenith of the starry sky at some unknown moment, covering countless hundreds of millions of miles, pressing down like a world of fire!

Wherever the giant hand passed, time and space froze, the Laws wailed, and the myriad Daos retreated!

That fire was no ordinary flame, but contained the most primal Phoenix True Flame, carrying a supreme dao rhyme that could incinerate the heavens!

"This... this is?" God Ember's voice trembled; from that giant flaming hand, he felt a terrifying pressure far exceeding the Immortal Emperor level!

"Immortal Venerable?!"

"No! Even an Immortal Venerable could not give him such a feeling of despair!"

"Se... Senior!" God Ember no longer cared about Face; with a thud, he controlled the divine ancestor phantasm to kneel in the void, pleading frantically for mercy:

"This Junior is a Core Disciple of the God Race from the Formless Chaos Realm!"

"I do not know how I have offended you, Senior. Please, for the sake of the God Race, spare this Junior's life!"

"This Junior is willing to serve you as a beast of burden to repay your kindness for not killing me!"

He was completely panicked and brought up his greatest backing.

However, that cold female voice rang out again, carrying unconcealed contempt and killing intent:

"Just a child of a branch of the God Race, and you dare use that to threaten this lady?"

"Even if your God Race's God Ancestor were to come in person, he would have no Face before me!"

"Now, die."
