Chapter 912: Chapter 553: Discussion, Slaying Ancestors to Seize Fate
"Alright, I will immediately send a message to call Yan Qi to the Border Desolation to take over my duty of guarding. Then, I shall accompany you in person."
Once he made the decision, he would not hesitate any longer.
The Martial Ancestor acted with decisive resolution as always.
Shortly after the message was sent, a figure as scorching as a star tore through the void, descending upon the Cosmic Edge. The newcomer was another Martial Ancestor from the Martial Pavilion, Yan Qi.
He exchanged no words with the Sun-Eroding Cry, merely nodding for the handover.
The true body of Sun-Eroding Cry was thus freed to reunite with Chu Zheng.
He strode forth, as if the void beneath his feet had solidified, with each step causing the Star River to tremble slightly.
Clad in a plain dark martial robe without any adornments, his presence seemed to fill the desolate Star Domain completely.
Though his physique was not bulky, it conveyed an ultimate sense of strength. His muscle lines did not bulge exaggeratedly, but tightly intertwined like ancient dragon veins, with each fiber infused with the power to shatter stars and tear apart the universe.
His broad frame stood like a divine pillar supporting the Heavenly Dome, unshakeable. Beneath his dark golden skin seemed to flow an eternal Divine Fire, exuding an indestructible, eternal divine luster.
On the surface of his skin, countless intricate and profound war patterns faintly appeared naturally. These were not postnatal engravings but the natural imprints of Great Dao Laws left on his physique after achieving a state of divine perfection in Martial Arts Cultivation. Each flicker seemed to refract fragments of time.
Chu Zheng spoke no unnecessary words. Two figures transformed into breathtaking streaks that tore through the Great Universe, ignoring the endless void, heading straight towards the ancient Star Domain of the Shan Clan’s ancestral land.
......
......
The Shan Clan’s ancestral star was enveloped in a majestic aura, akin to mountains worshipping from all directions.
A terrifying and boundless aura suddenly descended, shattering the eternal silence and causing the phantom images of endless mountains to tremble.
Deep within the ancestral land, within an ancient stone hall that seemed integrated with the mountain ranges, the Ancient Ancestor of the Shan Clan, Shan Han, was abruptly awakened.
With a step, he stood beneath the starry sky, recognizing the leader as Chu Zheng at a glance, and a flicker of uncertainty passed through his eyes.
"Zheng Chu?"
Chu Zheng, who had just attained the Ancestor Realm, possessed an aura deep as an abyss, inducing a sense of unease in him.
"What do you intend to do?" he asked sternly, a thick, pale yellow divine radiance beginning to coalesce around him, causing the starry sky to hum.
"I intend to do something grand."
Chu Zheng’s expression was calm and indifferent, but his words were earth-shattering:
"I’ve come to borrow your Heavenly Fate."
Shan Han was initially stunned, then flew into a rage, a mocking smile on his face as he laughed in anger:
"What an arrogant and ignorant junior, newly entered into the Ancestor Realm, yet dares to act recklessly in my ancestral land, uttering such wild words! Truly seeking your own death!"
"Today, I’ll slay you, shatter your Dao Seed, refine your Heavenly Fate, and add another to my Shan Clan’s Ancestor Realm. With our combined strength, the Shan Clan can ascend into the ranks of the Ten Great Ancient Clans at once!"
He spoke coldly, his killing intent soaring to the heavens, and beneath his feet, the entire ancestral star roared, with countless mountain sigils soaring into the sky, causing a riot in the Space-time Law, sealing the starry sky entirely and dragging it into the River of Space-Time.
"Hand over the Heavenly Fate, and you may escape death."
Gazing at the surging River of Space-Time beneath his feet, Chu Zheng remained calm, still offering Shan Han a lifeline.
As Chu Zheng’s words fell, Shan Han’s laugh was filled with extreme anger, his voice rolling and echoing through the ages:
"Arrogant junior, newly entered into the Ancestor Realm, unaware of the heights of the heavens, dare covet the Heavenly Fate of this Ancestor? Your life is mine today!"
As his words faded, in another overlapping space-time dimension, a figure dressed in a dark martial robe with a body seemingly cast from immortal divine gold lay quietly in wait like an ancient fierce beast, ready to pounce at any moment.
Rumble——
Shan Han wasted no more words and directly made his move.
Knowing that none who reached the Ancestor Realm were mediocre, he spared no effort, unleashing his full strength. His previously slightly lean body suddenly swelled, with endless divine light bursting forth from within, like a divine sun dormant for ages suddenly erupting.
The River of Space-Time surged, countless ancient mountains emerging from past and future, lighting up instantly, mobilizing the vast power of the earth veins. Coupled with the portion of the Heavenly Fate he carried, it converged into a terrifying torrent capable of crushing the ancient Star River, charging straight at Chu Zheng!
This strike encapsulated all the cultivation Shan Han had since reaching the Ancestor Realm, combined with his understanding of the Great Dao Laws, and further mobilized the foundation accumulated over endless years within the River of Space-Time.
The River of Space-Time raged with towering waves, the laws wailing and retreating, as if an ancient universe was collapsing towards Chu Zheng.
Facing this apocalyptic strike, Chu Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, though his gaze sharpened suddenly. He didn’t retreat but instead took a step forward.
Only one step.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted, like an ancient divine king striking a war drum, and an extremely sonorous dao sound spread from beneath his feet, echoing along the banks of the River of Space-Time.
His entire body surged with qi and blood, unleashing the cultivation of his newly attained Ancestor Realm without reservation. Though it did not mobilize the boundless might like Shan Han, it was more pure and condensed, endowed with an unstoppable, assertive, invincible momentum!
"Shatter."
Chu Zheng uttered a true word, holding a Dao Seal in one hand, pushing it forward slowly, without any flashy changes in Divine Skills, possessing only the utmost power and Great Dao Laws’ condensation.
On the Dao Seal, it seemed like scenes of creation were circulating, Yin Yang Dual Qi intertwining, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind, ultimately returning to chaos, and rebirthing from chaos, controlling birth and extinction.
This was the confluence of the Qi Cultivator’s Divine Skills, borrowing the power of Heaven’s Mandate, though newly formed, it already revealed an imposing presence surpassing ordinary ancestral dao techniques.
