296: Xuanji Patriarch! (Three more chapters)

Even a common member of the Soul Clan would be greeted with a bow by other factions, let alone the fact that an Old Ancestor had actually been killed?

Unless that mysterious powerhouse was present, everyone else would be on a dead-end path!

The powerhouses following in their footsteps were also shocked, yet they couldn't help but silently applaud the Chu Family. This Family was truly courageous!

In the current Divine Realm, no faction dared to kill members of the Soul Clan!

Although some factions wished they could support the Chu Family in killing a few more of those Soul Clan bastards—they had been bullied relentlessly by the Soul Clan during this period—

some Soul Clan Juniors would openly enter their territories to select concubines, and any treasures they took a liking to were arrogantly seized.

Disagree? If they disagreed, they would have to invite their own Old Ancestors to intervene!

Someone else had once killed an unknown Soul Clan member, only for their entire faction to be mercilessly wiped out by the Soul Clan.

In the current Divine Realm, it was still only permissible for the Soul Clan to kill others; no Soul Clan member could be killed, otherwise, it would invite a calamity of extermination!

The Soul Clan was also sensible. Although they couldn't investigate that mysterious powerhouse, they instructed all their clansmen to memorize Chu Yaoguang's appearance to avoid provoking someone who shouldn't be provoked!

As for the others, they would just proceed as they pleased!

Hmm? Chu Zhennan, who had just killed a Soul Clan Old Ancestor, saw someone shouting at him. He instantly appeared before the person, his brows furrowed in anger, and waving his fists radiating Divine Power, he retorted: "Do I need you, an old fogey, to point fingers when I kill someone?"

He then clashed with his opponent again, completely disregarding the other party's status as a member of the Soul Clan.

Having reached this point, anyone who blocked the path of their Chu Family would be steamrolled, regardless of their faction! With the Beast God as their backing, they feared no one!

"Chu Family, I must destroy your Family today!" The Soul Clan Old Ancestor roared in fury, his face twisted. His Divine Power surged within him, Killing Intent erupted, and wielding a blood-colored scimitar, he charged at Chu Zhennan.

On the battlefield, other powerful figures from various factions felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing a Soul Clan Old Ancestor fall. They hadn't expected the Human Realm's Chu Family to be so reckless. They wondered if the Original Ancestor would take action?

Just then, a massive golden eye suddenly appeared in the sky, looking down at the battlefield below like the Heavens themselves. Then, a beam of light shot out from the golden pupil, instantly killing an Opening Heaven Realm Perfection powerhouse!

It was Chu Yanran's Supreme Martial Soul, Eye of the Heavens!

At this moment, she was wielding a long sword, locked in combat with an Opening Heaven Realm Perfection expert. One should not underestimate her because she was a woman; every move and technique of hers was filled with Killing Intent. Her sword light raged, sweeping across the Nine Heavens, and she showed no mercy to those enemies blocking their Family's expansion.

Many powerhouses from the Chu Family were participating in this battle. Since these people did not wish for their Family to enter the Divine Realm, they would simply carve out a bloody path! Kill until they were terrified, kill until they retreated.

Yan Lingji, Chu Long, Chu Xiuran, and others were overseeing the overall situation to prevent heavy casualties within the Family! Their combat power was too strong; they all possessed strength rivaling the Creation Realm, enough to steamroll everything.

The reason they were not allowed to act rashly was also to train the younger generation of the Chu Family. After all, their Chu Family would soon be entering other, more vast worlds in the near future!

After searching through many Small Worlds around the Divine Realm, Long Yuan finally stopped. Relying on one person's strength to find the Sky Tomb was not a simple matter!

"I'll just wait until the Chu Family's influence spreads across the Divine Realm before searching slowly!" Long Yuan appeared silently on the battlefield. Having not seen them for so many years, he wanted to see how Chu Taichu and the others had progressed in their strength!

...

In a Small World, Shen Ji Zi, who was in a state of suspended animation, opened his eyes and looked at the Distorted Time and Space not far away; movement had finally emerged from there.

A moment later, a huge pitch-black boat came jostling out of the Distorted Time and Space. Only after it emerged from the Distorted Time and Space region did one realize that it was actually a giant tortoise shell.

"Shen Ji Zi, why did you suddenly contact the clan grounds? Has some unpredictable catastrophe occurred?" Inside the dark tortoise shell, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in white and carrying a giant tortoise shell on his back, asked as he looked at Shen Ji Zi.

"Shen Ji Zi pays respects to Xuanji Old Ancestor!" "I have indeed discovered a major matter that needs to be reported to the clan grounds!" Shen Ji Zi bowed to the old man on the tortoise shell.

"Do you need to return to the clan grounds?" Xuanji stroked his beard. Within his calm eyes, it was as if endless years of time were rising and falling.

"Yes, this matter is of great importance and needs to be reported to the Tianji Old Ancestors!"

"You should know the rules: once you return to the clan grounds, you cannot come out again!"

"This Junior understands!" "Very well, then come aboard!"

After Shen Ji Zi jumped onto the tortoise shell, the giant shell, under Xuanji's control, wobbled back into the Distorted Time and Space.

Standing on the jostling tortoise shell, Shen Ji Zi hesitated to speak several times. He was worried about disturbing Xuanji Old Ancestor while he was steering the shell; if they capsized in here, their only outcome would be certain death!

It took a full hundred years for the two of them to pass through the Distorted Time and Space region. Xuanji's previously tense expression relaxed.

"I saw you hesitating to speak several times; what did you want to say earlier?" Xuanji asked Shen Ji Zi.

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, I saw a powerhouse in the Divine Realm who can also freely enter and exit the Sky Tomb!"

"What?" Xuanji's eyes widened instantly. Freely enter and exit the Sky Tomb? "Are you telling the truth?"

"How could it be false?" "This Junior saw him enter and exit several Sky Tombs with my own eyes!" "Moreover, his speed while moving through the Distorted Time and Space was very fast and very steady!"

Although Shen Ji Zi had not stepped onto the green lotus, Long Yuan's speed was truly very fast, much faster than the tortoise shell controlled by the Old Ancestor.

"Did he enter the Sky Tomb alone, or did he use a Divine Artifact like us?" Xuanji asked hurriedly.

"The other party was stepping on a green lotus; it must be a Divine Artifact as well!"

"Hiss, it seems someone has obtained a supreme treasure of the same level as our Tianji Clan!"

"Old Ancestor, if you had relied on our supreme treasure to enter other Sky Tombs, perhaps those treasures would have long since belonged to our Tianji Clan, and how would they have fallen into the hands of others!"

Shen Ji Zi felt somewhat helpless. A treasure capable of traversing Distorted Time and Space was not as simple as a World Creation Level Divine Artifact!

"The treasure is good, but you need to have the life to take it and the life to use it!" Xuanji shook his head. Regarding someone possessing a Divine Artifact of the same level as theirs, he did not show any jealousy.

"Old Ancestor! Can we please not be so cautious?" "With those treasures, we could fully develop our Family and make it even stronger; how would the situation you described ever arise?"

Shen Ji Zi felt somewhat frustrated that they wouldn't live up to his expectations. If these Old Ancestors had acted earlier, those treasures wouldn't have fallen into the hands of others. Just think about it—how could the treasures appearing in the Sky Tomb be ordinary supreme treasures?

Thinking of Long Yuan's green lotus, Shen Ji Zi felt a surge of desire! "It seems that after so many years in the Divine Realm, you still haven't deeply understood the principle that when the moon is full, it begins to wane!"
