135: Chapter 135 The Feast of Soul Banners, Clues to the Ancient Ancestor!

Furthermore, relying on the support of the Primordial Divine Demon Hegemon Body and the World Tree, although he had just entered the Saint Realm, his combat power was enough to easily crush those veteran Saint Kings!

"Is this the Saint Realm..." Qin Yu clenched his fist.

The vast and mighty power of the Saint Realm surged and flowed within his body like a galaxy.

At this moment, he felt unprecedentedly powerful.

It felt as if with just a single thought, he could crush stars and destroy a Small World.

"Now, even if I face a Quasi-Emperor, I can handle it with ease!" Qin Yu muttered to himself, a satisfied arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Exotic Realm was merely an appetizer.

Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, those hidden ancient clans that claimed to possess longevity and plotted silently behind the scenes were the true main course.

"Come then..."

"I hope you all will be more interesting than these pieces of trash from the Exotic Realm."

Qin Yu stepped into the imperial chariot.

His gaze swept across the great hall.

Xiao Yuxin, Han Yueli, and Lin Cangyue were still sitting cross-legged.

Their bodies were surrounded by glowing mist, and they were fully concentrating on consolidating the Saint Realm they had just broken through to.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and satisfaction that could not be concealed.

Qin Yu did not disturb them.

He rose slowly and paced out of the palace.

His gaze turned towards the rear of the warship, to that black prison specifically used to hold important prisoners.

The trip to the Exotic Realm had been very fruitful.

However, there were still some loose ends that needed to be tied up.

For example, that little fox who was loyal to its master and had been captured alive by him.

Qin Yu's figure slowly faded away from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he was already in the deepest level of the imperial chariot's black prison.

It was dark and damp here.

The four walls were engraved with dense Restriction runes.

Not to mention a half-Saint like that little fox, even a true Saint would have no hope of escaping if imprisoned here.

In the center of the black prison, a petite figure was bound and suspended in mid-air by dozens of rune chains flickering with lightning.

The Saintess sacrificial robe she wore was already tattered, and her exposed skin was covered in scars.

It was exactly that Fox Clan Saintess whom Qin Yu had casually abducted on the battlefield.

At this moment, she no longer had the arrogance she possessed when they first met.

On that bewitching face, only fear and despair that went deep into the bone marrow remained.

Sensing someone approaching, the Fox Clan Saintess's body trembled violently.

She lifted her head with great effort.

When she saw Qin Yu's handsome yet cold face, her pupils suddenly constricted.

"Devil..."

Her lips trembled as she let out a faint whimper.

Over these past few days, she had witnessed with her own eyes how this man, by his own strength, had slaughtered the Exotic Realm's million-strong army and refined them into dry bones within the soul banner.

That indifference, which viewed all things as mere straw dogs, had already completely shattered all of her will.

Qin Yu walked slowly to stand before her.

He did not release any pressure, but those deep eyes seemed to contain the birth and death of a Universe.

Just by being watched by him so quietly, the Fox Clan Saintess felt her Divine Soul trembling, as if it would be sucked into that endless abyss at any moment.

"This Divine Son asks, you answer."

Qin Yu's voice was very calm, revealing no joy or anger.

"Answer well, and I can give you a swift death."

The Fox Clan Saintess nodded frantically, tears falling uncontrollably.

"When Sky Splitter fled, what was the origin of that jade token he crushed at the end?" Qin Yu asked.

"It... it is the token of the Ancient Ancestor." The Fox Clan Saintess dared not hide anything and answered stutteringly.

"In our Exotic Realm, there sleeps an incomparably ancient and powerful existence, who is revered as the Ancient Ancestor."

"Lord Sky Splitter is the descendant most favored by that Ancient Ancestor."

"That jade token is the only life-saving item bestowed by the Ancient Ancestor."

Hearing this, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

This point actually matched up with the previous actions of his father, Qin Huangtian.

"Which powers in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is that Ancient Ancestor connected to?" Qin Yu threw out the most critical question.

A flash of confusion and hesitation crossed the Fox Clan Saintess's face.

Obviously, secret information of this level was already beyond the scope of what she could access.

"It seems I will have to do it myself."

Qin Yu lost his patience.

He raised his right hand and gently tapped his index finger against the Fox Clan Saintess's glabella.

"No!"

The Fox Clan Saintess let out a desperate scream.

She knew what this was.

This was the most cruel and overbearing soul-searching technique!

However, her resistance appeared so pale and weak before Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's fingertip tapped onto her forehead without any obstruction.

"Break!"

Hum!

A massive force of Divine Thought instantly rushed into the Fox Clan Saintess's Sea of Consciousness.

Vast and chaotic memory images flooded into Qin Yu's mind like a tide.

Qin Yu frowned slightly, quickly filtering out useful information.

Most of it was useless, messy memory.

But soon, Qin Yu's gaze fixed on one image.

It was a scene of Sky Splitter praying to an ancient altar in the Grand Void Forbidden Land.

Above the altar, a blurry phantom appeared.

The aura of that phantom was identical to the Exotic Realm Supreme who had ambushed Qin Yu earlier.

Sky Splitter was respectfully reporting something.

From Sky Splitter's memory, Qin Yu learned that this Ancient Ancestor's strength was unfathomable, even equal to his father, Qin Huangtian.

Furthermore, this Ancient Ancestor seemed to be plotting a world-shaking event that required uniting some hidden powers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The images continued to flow.

Qin Yu saw another scene.

The phantom of that Ancient Ancestor handed an ancient piece of animal skin paper to an envoy from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

When Qin Yu saw the appearance of that animal skin paper clearly, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

That piece of animal skin paper was exactly the same as the one he had found on Gu Changge back then!

All the clues were strung together at this moment.

It turned out that whether it was the Gu Family from before, the Primordial Dragon Clan, or the now crippled Exotic Realm, the same mastermind stood behind them all.

And this mastermind also had intricate connections with those Longevity Great Families of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Interesting."

Qin Yu withdrew his finger, his expression indifferent.

As for the Fox Clan Saintess after being soul-searched by him, she had now completely turned into a foolish empty shell.

Her eyes were hollow, saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth, and her vitality was fading rapidly.

For this result, Qin Yu did not have the slightest bit of pity.

"Your mission is complete."

He waved his hand casually.

That newly upgraded chaos return to ruins banner appeared out of thin air.

The banner surface shook gently, and a terrifying suction force enveloped the Fox Clan Saintess.

With a barely audible wail, her broken body, along with her Divine Soul, were sucked into the banner, turning into pure nourishment.

【Ding! Host has successfully eliminated an Exotic Realm destiny-related figure, obtaining five million points of destiny points!】

【Current destiny points balance: 35 million points!】

Listening to the System's prompt, Qin Yu's expression remained without any ripples.

He turned and left this dark black prison.

Since he already knew of the existence of the mastermind, the game that followed would be much simpler.

Qin Yu stood on the deck of the warship, letting the high-altitude gale blow his robes.

His gaze penetrated the endless Void Realm, looking towards the most mysterious and ancient direction of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Longevity Great Families..."

"I hope you are prepared to welcome true fear."

"The next one will begin with you."
