267: Ancestor Pei appears

Pei Kun had already self-detonated, and the terrifying explosion swept directly toward Murong Hai!

Murong Hai's expression remained calm; just as he had said, even a self-detonation couldn't kill him!

Soon, Murong Hai was engulfed by the explosion!

However, at that moment, strange spatial forces suddenly surged within the area!

Simultaneously, small black hole vortices appeared, frantically devouring the energy in the field—absorbing, decomposing, and finally reducing it to nothingness within the abyss!

At first, there were only hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands!

The energy in the field was rapidly absorbed, and Murong Hai's figure appeared, completely unscathed.

Layers of spatial barriers still surrounded him.

Pei Kun's self-detonation hadn't caused him any harm; it had merely consumed a significant amount of his power.

The explosion dissipated; Murong Hai remained, while Pei Kun was finished.

Murong Hai dispersed the residual energy in the field.

Then, sensing something, he suddenly turned his head toward Fang Bai's direction.

"This kid has some skill!"

Not just Murong Hai's side—the area where Fang Bai was located was also pitch black, the space swept by the explosion into a dark ruin!

No signs of life could be detected there!

No survivors!

The explosive power of those three Archbishops was terrifying! Even if Murong Hai took such a hit, he would be injured!

And now, they were as dead as could be!

As for Fang Bai... "I'm fucking done with these sneaky bastards!"

While everyone was shocked by the residual power of the explosion, a cursing voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was stunned, then looked over in surprise, their expressions suddenly turning as if they had seen a ghost!

Hundreds of feet away, a figure stood there completely unharmed!

Who else could it be but Fang Bai?

"That kid... he actually survived the self-detonation of three Eighth-Ranks..."

An Eighth-Rank old man remarked with a sigh.

The others looked equally solemn; they all knew they had severely underestimated this young man!

"This rising star... it seems he really isn't just a flash in the pan."

The experts of the Noble Families all memorized Fang Bai's appearance.

They knew that a supreme monster had risen!

"Hahaha! I knew the kid wouldn't die!"

In the crowd, Qi Tian let out a delighted laugh.

"I knew this scourge wouldn't die! As the saying goes, the good die young while a scourge lives for a thousand years. It's just like him!"

Mo Ming said, nodding in deep agreement.

The fact that Fang Bai hadn't fallen was undoubtedly good news for the people from The Authorities!

Fang Bai was also feeling a lingering fear; he had almost bitten the dust!

Initially, he couldn't do anything against the domain the three had set up together, but at the critical moment, Fang Bai suddenly remembered he had one last trump card!

Spatial Transfer!

That's right! He had obtained this reward back in the Demon Territory, but he never had the chance to use it. Fortunately, it really saved his life this time!

Their self-detonations were still a huge threat to him; while they wouldn't necessarily kill him instantly, they would have left him heavily injured, and the kind that's hard to recover from!

Even if he could use an awakening secret technique, there was no need, since the enemies were all fucking dead anyway!

With this, Pei Kun was dead!

Three Cardinal Archbishops had fallen!

Most of the enemy's top-tier combat power was gone!

The experts of the Pei family had already surrendered; their family head was dead, and the ancestor hadn't appeared, so why keep fighting?

At this moment, the Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm Great Demon also sensed something was wrong, as it had been locked onto by several terrifying auras!

It didn't fear any of these people individually! But it couldn't withstand being ganged up on!

However, Murong Hai wouldn't let it escape! He directly used Spatial Lock to seal off its retreat!

"Let me handle it!"

Murong Hai stepped through the air, his power directly clashing with the Extreme Realm Great Demon, which greatly relieved the pressure on everyone else!

The Azure King also silently stepped back, leaving the opportunity for Murong Hai to show off.

The latter charged directly at the Great Demon, but just then, an unexpected change occurred!

"Sigh!"

An aged sigh rang out, and with it, the space in the field was instantly frozen!

Everything was immobilized!

Everyone was bound!

It was as if they were placed within some circle of rules! Reduced to mere puppets on strings!

Horror filled everyone's hearts! Even Murong Hai, an Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm, showed a solemn expression!

Even he was frozen in place!

Ninth Rank!

Fang Bai was also held in place, unable to move. He frowned, his face twisting as he frantically pushed his internal power to resist the pressure, yet his strength was like a stone dropped into the ocean, failing to cause even the slightest ripple.

Ninth Rank!

An Eighth-Rank was like an ant before a Ninth Rank!

Not only the humans, but even the Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm Great Demon was restrained!

It struggled frantically, but to no avail!

Fear!

In this moment, the super-overlord that dominated its region panicked!

Death loomed over every living creature present!

An old man walked slowly toward them, still leaning on a cane, his face weathered. Compared to the last time, he seemed to have aged even more.

Pei Family Ancestor!

The newcomer was none other than the Pei Family Ancestor!

With the Pei family in decline, he finally couldn't sit still any longer!

Ancestor Pei's cloudy eyes swept over everyone. Although he didn't release even a hint of aura, everyone felt as if they were being stared down by the God of Death!

"You all are too noisy."

As the indifferent voice fell, everyone plummeted from the sky! They were pinned firmly to the ground; some of the weaker ones even fainted instantly, unable to withstand the pressure!

A grimace appeared on Murong Hai's face. He let out a low growl, releasing his Spatial Domain; spatial elements struggled out frantically, trying to squeeze a gap through the pervasive pressure!

As Murong Hai's power surged, the invisible wall of air around him actually began to shake!

Truly worthy of being The foremost person below the Ninth Rank!

Relying on his full strength, Murong Hai could barely shake a sliver of the opponent's pressure! And as time passed, this became increasingly evident!

"Hmm?"

Ancestor Pei also noticed this and looked at Murong Hai with some surprise.

"Interesting."

To be able to shake his power... this Murong Hai had a promising future.

Ancestor Pei raised his hand and pressed down gently; the power Murong Hai had just mustered was instantly suppressed!

Murong Hai: ...Old Geezer!

Ancestor Pei scanned the field. Clearly, he had seen everything that happened to the Pei family, but he hadn't intervened in time.

Of course, even if he had acted, he couldn't have changed the fact that the family was being wiped out; after all, the Pei family couldn't withstand being ganged up on by several Noble Families!

Ancestor Pei looked up at the Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm Great Demon, then pointed his cane!

Roar!

The Great Demon wailed in terror, but under the power of the Ninth Rank, it had no strength to resist at all!

Boom!

The Great Demon's head exploded, and it perished on the spot!

Fang Bai: ...My experience points!

Old Geezer, you've already courted death!
