428: Chapter 428 The Ancestor Kneels!

"Yes, Third Brother, how could you speak of Yang like that? Yang just saved you! Moreover, Yang is indeed breaking through to the Transcendence Realm; this is an absolute fact. If you don't believe it, you can wait here for a moment. Once Yang finishes his Breakthrough, the truth will naturally come to light!" Jinwu Ji frowned with a look of displeasure and stepped forward to speak up for Cao Yang. After all, Cao Yang was now her Dao Companion; how could she stand by and watch others slander him like that?

"Fifth Sister, the reason I, your Third Brother, said that was also out of concern for you!" Seeing this, Jinwu Sanxiong's expression became even more unsightly as he quickly explained.

However, facing Jinwu Sanxiong's explanation, Cao Yang didn't say much. He only curled his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, he extended his right hand and pointed lightly toward Jinwu Sanxiong.

In an instant, an invisible force shot out like lightning, immediately binding Jinwu Sanxiong tightly in place. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

"Yang, please stay your hand. Third Brother only misspoke for a moment; he didn't mean to offend. Please be magnanimous and just punish him slightly; do not take his life!" Jinwu Ji pleaded with a Face full of worry. Her heart was filled with unease and anxiety, fearing that Cao Yang would kill Jinwu Sanxiong in a fit of rage.

One must know that Jinwu Sanxiong was an Old Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, holding an extremely exalted status. Furthermore, his strength was unfathomable, being one of the ten great Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses. Such a figure was undoubtedly a vital existence for the Golden Crow Clan.

However, facing Jinwu Ji's bitter pleading, Cao Yang only smiled slightly and then nodded gently, saying, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

His tone was calm and gentle, as if he didn't take Jinwu Sanxiong's offense to heart at all.

Not only that, Cao Yang also gave Jinwu Ji a reassuring look, as if telling her there was no need to worry too much.

In fact, Cao Yang truly wouldn't easily get angry and kill someone over a few offensive words.

After all, he now had dozens of Dao Companions from the Golden Crow Clan; his relationship with the Golden Crow Clan could be said to be quite close.

Therefore, unless the Golden Crow Clan really went too far, he would absolutely not take action against them.

Cao Yang waved his arm slightly, and a powerful force instantly surged forth.

This force was like a clear spring, flowing gently past. Wherever it went, the Restriction that originally bound the Third Old Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan instantly collapsed, as if it had never existed.

Only then did Cao Yang slowly say, "Your Golden Crow Clan's attitude toward this Emperor has been decent, which is why this Emperor has not used forceful means against your Golden Crow Clan.

To tell you the truth, the method this Emperor just used was not some Heaven-Defying supreme treasure, but my Invincible Domain.

Within this Domain, this Emperor is an invincible existence. Even if this Emperor hasn't broken through to the Transcendence Realm, dealing with your Golden Crow Clan would be as simple as moving a finger."

Hearing this, Jinwu Ao, the First Old Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. He hurriedly bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, yes, Emperor Cao's strength is naturally invincible. I apologize to Emperor Cao on behalf of Old Third. I hope you can be magnanimous and not lower yourself to his level. Your visit to our Golden Crow Clan is a great honor for us!"

While speaking, Jinwu Ao secretly sent a voice transmission to Old Third, Jinwu Sanxiong, telling him to quickly come forward and apologize to Cao Yang personally, lest Cao Yang truly get angry and bring a catastrophe upon the Golden Crow Clan.

At this moment, Jinwu Ao was filled with shock and fear. He finally realized that the Ancestral Teachings were not false; people surnamed Cao were definitely existences the Golden Crow Clan could not afford to provoke and could only interact with cautiously.

For no other reason than the fact that the method Cao Yang used to imprison someone was simply too terrifying and powerful. Even Jinwu Ao, who had already reached the Advanced Chaos Emperor Realm, could not instantly control the Intermediate Chaos Emperor Realm Jinwu Sanxiong like Cao Yang did.

Moreover, Jinwu Ao could clearly feel that Cao Yang's control method was not ordinary, but a hair-raising one. When Old Third was controlled by Cao Yang, Jinwu Ao was actually completely unable to sense Old Third's Qi, as if Old Third had entirely disappeared from the Chaos World, without leaving a single trace of his existence.

This feeling made Jinwu Ao shudder. He knew well what this meant. For the Qi of a Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse to be erased so easily was simply an ability beyond imagination.

Jinwu Ao thought with a Face full of suspicion; even a legendary powerhouse of the Transcendence Realm would likely find it difficult to use such a miraculous method! After all, they were powerhouses of the Chaos Emperor Realm!

Normally, even if these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses were unfortunately murdered and went to the Yellow Springs, their Qi could absolutely not dissipate completely. Much less could every single trace of their former existence vanish without a trace!

Unless the entire Chaos World was ruthlessly and completely erased, or they died outside the Chaos World. Only then could the Qi of these Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses completely vanish.

Jinwu Sanxiong was even more frightened by the invincible strength Cao Yang displayed, his body trembling all over, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

However, just as he was panicking, he suddenly heard the voice transmission from his Big Brother, Jinwu Ao.

This voice transmission seemed to inject a powerful force into Jinwu Sanxiong, making him snap back to his senses instantly.

Without hesitation, he knelt on both knees and kowtowed to Cao Yang, apologizing sincerely, "Emperor Cao, it was truly my lack of insight that offended you, a Supreme Emperor! I beg your Excellency to stay your hand. For the sake of the many Goddesses of our Golden Crow Clan, please forgive my disrespect this once!"

The other seven Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan were also filled with shock. They hadn't expected Cao Yang to be so powerful—so powerful that they couldn't even imagine how strong his strength actually was.

The methods and strength Cao Yang displayed were simply beyond their imagination and completely outside the scope of their understanding. This left them shocked and filled them with awe and fear toward Cao Yang.

When they saw a dignified Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse, and the Third Old Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan at that, actually kneeling to Cao Yang, the shock in their hearts was even more beyond words.

One must know that Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses already stood at the Peak of the world, possessing unparalleled status and strength. And Jinwu Sanxiong, as the Third Old Ancestor of their Golden Crow Clan, held an even more exalted status and unfathomable strength.

Yet, such a powerhouse knelt before Cao Yang without hesitation. This scene made them deeply realize Cao Yang's terrifying nature.

They began to understand that Jinwu Sanxiong's action was not out of weakness or cowardice, but a wise choice and an expression of assessing the situation.

In facing such a powerful Cao Yang, Jinwu Sanxiong knew that resisting was no different from an egg striking a stone; not only could he not defeat Cao Yang, but it might also bring catastrophe to himself and the Golden Crow Clan.

Therefore, he chose to submit, using kneeling to show his awe and obedience to Cao Yang, hoping to save his own life and the life of the Golden Crow Clan.

This behavior of assessing the situation might seem somewhat shameful to others, but in the eyes of his fellow Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan, it was a way of survival.

After all, in the Face of absolute strength, dignity and Face both appeared insignificant.

And Jinwu Sanxiong's ability to cast aside his status and decisively make such a decision was undoubtedly very wise.
