390: Undead Daoist Ancestor

Xu Qing stood before the altar, his eyes slightly closed, and his Chaos Dao Eye silently opened. In an instant, his gaze pierced through the altar's surface, delving into its interior, where he saw a vast and boundless Divine Power space.

This space was immensely vast, already forming a world of its own, filled with dense Divine Power, surging like a vast ocean.

At the end of the space, one hundred and eight intertwined Heavenly Mark chains were vaguely visible, covering the entire space like a net. The ends of the chains were connected to one hundred and eight blue Divine Nails, thick as mountains.

Those Divine Nails glowed with a brilliant blue light, their surfaces covered with ancient and complex Heavenly Marks. Each Heavenly Mark seemed to contain endless power.

And the ends of the Divine Nails were deeply embedded within the body of an ancient humanoid being.

That being's body was immense, like a towering Divine Mountain, shrouded in a dense aura of death, as if it could strip away all life force from heaven and earth.

This was the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor who had been suppressed!

At this moment, his body was firmly pinned by one hundred and eight Sea God Nails, each deeply embedded in his flesh and blood.

The Divine Nails were continuously drawing Divine Power, using it to wear away the Dao essence on the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's body.

The Divine Dao has always possessed the power to suppress all evil, as the power of the Divine Dao originates from faith and can purify the evil forces in heaven and earth.

However, even so, the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's aura remained incredibly formidable.

Terrifying Death Dao intent rippled around him, as if it could devour all life force from heaven and earth. The Dominator-grade Death Dao intent was so dense that it seemed a mere wisp could instantly strip an Immortal Giant of his life force.

"As expected of a Dao Ancestor-level powerhouse, even after being suppressed for countless years, he is still so terrifying..."

Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

Although the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's body was firmly pinned by one hundred and eight Sea God Nails, his eyes were still open, flickering with an icy light, as if they could see through all illusions.

His gaze swept across the Divine Power space, finally landing on Xu Qing, his voice deep and hoarse, as if coming from countless eons ago: "Ant, how dare you peep at this Dominator?"

Xu Qing's expression was calm. Facing the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's pressure, he did not retreat. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a provocative smile: "Though you are strong, aren't you still suppressed here like an old dog? What can you do to me?"

"Ant, you seek death!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger flashed in the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's eyes. His Death Dao intent erupted violently, attempting to break free from the Divine Nails' suppression.

However, the one hundred and eight Sea God Nails remained motionless, and the Heavenly Mark chains burst forth with brilliant light, firmly suppressing the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's Death Dao intent.

"Boom—"

In the Divine Power space, Divine Power and Death Dao intent collided fiercely, erupting in a terrifying roar. The entire space trembled violently at this moment, as if it could collapse at any time.

Xu Qing stood outside the altar, watching all of this with profound eyes.

Although the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor was suppressed, his power was still incredibly terrifying. If not for the suppression of the one hundred and eight Sea God Nails and the Heavenly Mark chains, this Divine Power space would probably have been completely destroyed by him long ago.

After all, the Dao Ancestor Realm is an existence that transcends the Immortal Grade. As long as the Great Dao within the Dao body has not been completely annihilated, even if only a wisp of remnant thought remains, it can exist in the world for a long time.

The Rotten God and Devil was like this; his Dao body was severed back then, leaving only a remnant Soul hidden in a distant era, yet he could still be Reborn through a new shell, becoming one of the sources of darkness.

And the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor, although not as powerful as the Rotten God and Devil, his Dao Soul and Physical Body were at Perfection. Even after suffering two severe injuries and being suppressed for countless years, he had not perished.

"I've provoked you this much; are you still planning to endure it?" Xu Qing looked at the struggling Death Spirit Dao Ancestor in the Divine Power space, saying with a smile and a hint of playfulness in his tone.

In the Divine Power space, the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor suddenly stopped struggling. His gaze probed Xu Qing, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that! I've long known about your little tricks!" Xu Qing sneered.

When that Jade Slip reached his hand, he was unknowingly manipulated by the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor into taking the Jade Slip.

The content of the Jade Slip was real; the System had verified this. But the problem was that the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor had hidden a wisp of his Dao thought within the Jade Slip.

The moment he touched the Jade Slip, the other party had already merged into his body. Even when he used his Chaos Dao Eye, he didn't detect it. Clearly, the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's Death Great Dao was not only extraordinary, but his Soul Dao had also reached an extremely high Realm.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the method, it could not escape the System's detection.

"Boom!"

Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness suddenly shook, and a terrifying Death Dao intent surged in like a tide, instantly spreading.

A one-million-zhang-tall phantom of the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor appeared in Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness, emitting an endless aura of death, as if it wanted to freeze the entire Sea of Consciousness.

"Ant, what if you know?"

The Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's voice was icy and bone-chilling, echoing in the Sea of Consciousness, "Dare to insult this Dominator, I will surely torment your Dao Soul for hundreds of millions of years!"

After realizing that Xu Qing had seen through his hidden move, the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor acted without hesitation. His gloomy voice, like a chilling wind from the Nine Nether, swept through the entire Sea of Consciousness, as if to completely freeze Xu Qing's Dao Soul.

However, the next second, the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's expression suddenly changed.

"No! How can your Dao Soul be so powerful? How can you have comprehended so many Great Daos! Impossible! Impossible!"

There was a hint of terror in the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's voice.

He had originally thought that Xu Qing was merely an ordinary Dao Monarch at the Late Stage Cultivator, and his Dao Soul, no matter how strong, would be limited. But now that he had entered Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness, he realized that Xu Qing's Dao Soul was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Xu Qing's Dao Soul was as tall as the heavens, surrounded by thousands of Great Dao Dragons. Each Great Dao Dragon exuded an Immortal Grade aura, as if he himself was the Ancestor of Myriad Daos.

And the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's one-million-zhang Dao thought, in front of Xu Qing's Dao Soul, was like a tiny ant.

"A variable! A variable!"

The Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's lips trembled, his eyes filled with horror.

He had lived for countless years and seen countless Prodigies, but he had never seen an existence as terrifying as Xu Qing.

It was one thing for his Dao Soul to be powerful, but Xu Qing had actually comprehended thousands of Great Daos, and each Great Dao had reached the Immortal Grade! What terrified him even more was that Xu Qing's age was no more than two hundred thousand years.

To comprehend so many Great Daos to the Immortal Grade in such a short period of time, this was simply an invincible existence!

In the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's mind, the invincible existence that the Ancestor had once mentioned suddenly appeared.

"Buzz!"

The Death Spirit Dao Ancestor did not surrender. As he formed a hand seal, an supreme power burst into the Sea of Consciousness space. That was his main body in the altar, using this wisp of Dao thought as a medium, drawing power from his main body, wanting to completely occupy Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness.

"You won't succeed!"

Xu Qing's Dao Soul saw this, and his expression changed drastically. His heaven-supporting hand, carrying the power of Myriad Daos, pressed down towards the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor.

"Boom—"

Xu Qing's heaven-supporting hand was shattered by the Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's transformed death hand.
