Chapter 848 842: Star Overlord, Epochal Slaughter Tribulation
"From today onwards, we officially depart from Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect."
Zhuang Baoxiang looked at the immortals of the Lingbao Lineage: "Who is willing to join me in rebuilding the Lingbao Sect?"
This time, leveraging Jia Ren's influence, they successfully detached from Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect.
"My dear son-in-law, why to this extent...?" The Sect Master of Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect sighed, still hoping to make a final appeal.
"We are willing to accompany the Ancestor in rebuilding the Lingbao Sect."
All the immortals of the Lingbao Lineage responded in waves, these were the immortals who ascended from the Lower Realm's Lingbao Sect to the Immortal Realm over tens of thousands of years.
They had always been treated coldly in Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect, without a sense of belonging.
"Let's go!"
Jia Ren led the disciples of the Lingbao Sect away from Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect, the complex and fearful gazes from the immortals there dared not mix with resentment.
Only when everyone had gone far did the invisible pressure in their hearts dissipate.
The Sect Master of Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect looked complex: "Ultimately, a missed opportunity..."
The group flew tens of thousands of miles away, without a shred of nostalgia in their eyes.
"Ancestor, I have enemies; it's inconvenient to join Lingbao Sect, the protection provided would not outweigh the trouble caused."
The newly founded Lingbao Sect could not bear such disaster.
"Several ancestor masters, pick some convenient Immortal Artifacts."
Jia Ren waved his hand, invisible power lifting some Supreme-grade, Superior-grade, and Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts into the air.
Zhuang Baoxiang didn't even glance at them, shaking his head in refusal.
"No need to cling to the past; have you forgotten what Lingbao Sect's origin is? Desired Immortal Artifacts can be crafted oneself!"
Those who wished to take out Immortal Artifacts could only smile awkwardly and likewise nodded in agreement.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Jia Ren did not insist further and handed over five Talismans.
"The Zhen Gui Talisman can repel bizarre demons, keep it for Lingbao Sect's protection."
This was crafted by himself, using Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force as a foundation, combining Suppressing Mystery Law, enough to deal with Venerable Rank Strange Monsters.
Lingbao Sect had yet to establish a Sect Protection Array, indeed needing protective measures.
Zhuang Baoxiang did not refuse the Zhen Gui Talisman, reaching out to take it.
"I still need to make a trip to Ming Luo Hall."
Jia Ren remained a member of Ming Luo Hall, having also caused quite a bit of trouble for Ming Luo Hall, would lend a hand if conditions permitted.
"Be careful in everything."
Zhuang Baoxiang didn't say much in holding him back, watched as Jia Ren disappeared before his eyes.
Many knew he came from Ming Luo Hall, could not rule out the possibility of traps being set there, needed to make several preparations.
A mass of flesh and monkey hair separated, Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force infused into the clone, soon the aura emitted by the sub-body became indistinguishable from the main body.
The ultimate concealment of aura was achieved using the Hidden Breath Realm's concealment, though not as strong as evading into the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm, it was a highly potent means of concealing aura, able to fool the majority of Dao Ancestors.
Go!
Relying only on the clone's strength, it was enough to resolve the trouble in Ming Luo Hall.
Even if things turned precarious, the destruction of the clone had negligible impact on oneself.
The main body consciously communicated with the clone, observing the developments.
Some True Immortals and Golden Immortals in Ming Luo Hall refused to abandon their power of laws, falling to Bizarre Immortals, and are now mercilessly attacking their former fellow disciples.
Unlike previous Bizarre Immortals who could maintain rationality, now their powers merely leaned towards the bizarre.
The second Well of Gods and Demons shattered, not only bizarrely transforming the immortal's power of laws, but the pollution's power and the erosion of reason increased tenfold.
Those transformed into Bizarre Immortals... went mad.
They attacked indiscriminately, completely controlled by bizarre powers, losing self-control.
"Red Lotus Zhen Gui!"
Yan Yuanwu conjured a crimson red lotus formed of flames, planting it onto a bizarre Golden Immortal, and the red flaming consumed the bizarre body, almost transforming it into a lotus seed within the red lotus.
Boom!
Zhen Gui Red Lotus shattered, the bizarre immortal in the form of flowing black liquid broke free from its confinement.
Outside the sect array, flames manifested as a giant flame figure, continuously attacking the formation, this was the Obscure God Level Fire Bizarre formed by Yan Yuanwu's power of laws.
This formation was maintained by none, far less sturdy than that of Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect, not sure when it would be breached.
Threats inside and outside, the situation was dire.
"Suppress!"
Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force encapsulated in Suppressing Mystery Law, forming a black Zhen Gui chain winding towards the Obscure God Level Fire Bizarre.
Just then, a chilling voice emerged: "Finally waiting for you."
Silver starlight appeared, within the brightness stood a middle-aged man wearing a Nine Star Moon Robe, his appearance was plain, his eyes like deep night skies, countless stars dazzling.
This was a Dao Ancestor mastering the Star Dao.
Was this person been guarding against him in Ming Luo Hall?
Ming Luo Hall faced a bizarre tribulation, yet he never showed himself, always watched on the side.
No doubt about it, this person was indeed cold-hearted, never considering the Ming Luo Hall, also of Immortal Path, as his own people, letting bizarre demons wreak their havoc.
"You're going to take a walk with the main body! The Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor want to see you."
The tone carried an irrefutable stance, it wasn't a request, but announcing something about to happen.
The attitude of the person involved wasn't significant at all, regardless of willingness, the outcome would not alter.
"Hehe, he won't go with you guys!"
A figure in a blood robe, exuding a sinister and bizarre aura, appeared with madness and bloodlust in his eyes, his murderous intent spreading uncontrollably in all directions.
Wherever it spread, all manner of beings engaged in a fight to the death, as if offering blood and death to please this deity of slaughter.
Slaughter Trickery Path!
This was an Ancestor of Deceit, master of the bizarre transformation into the Great Dao of slaughter, but his condition was not good.
The second Well of Gods and Demons broke open, and the power of pollution erupted tenfold, engulfing all the power of the laws.
The Dao Ancestors were not greatly affected; they could still resist the eerie pollution.
For the Ancestor of Deceit, the impact was far greater than for the Dao Ancestor.
"Your presence here proves that you still value them somewhat."
"If you are unwilling to go with this ancestor, then let them accompany you to the grave."
The Slaughter Trickery Ancestor was still able to maintain his reason, using Ming Luo Hall as a threat.
No one doubted his capability and attitude. As long as the pollution of the Slaughter Trickery Path was not contained, all life forms within its range would inevitably slaughter each other to death.
The Daos mastered by the two Dao Ancestors were not weak, and dealing with one Dao Ancestor was already quite laborious, let alone two at the same time.
"I don't like to deal with weaklings. You decide who wins, and I'll decide whom to go with," Jia Ren said, gazing at the two opposing Dao Ancestors.
The Daoist Ancestor Xingchen snorted coldly, "Do you take this ancestor for a fool, to kill each other so you can have your wish?"
"I actually think it's a pretty good choice!"
As soon as the words of the Slaughter Trickery Ancestor fell, a bloody sword light slashed out instantly, but the target was not the Daoist Ancestor Xingchen, it was Jia Ren.
The Immortal Path sought to communicate with Jia Ren to acquire the power that could trace the bizarre pollution.
The Bizarre Path was different. If they could successfully capture someone, they would not mind capturing them alive; of course, they would eventually turn them into dead.
Since there was a competitor, it was better to kill Jia Ren in time, definitely not allowing the corresponding means to fall into the hands of the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor.
The Daoist Ancestor Xingchen was not surprised, and the power of the Star Force surged, changing the color of heaven and earth in an instant.
Day turned into night, and stars adorned the curtain above, bright and dazzling.
A move that could change the heavens and the earth; it was not just a small area that changed, but the entire Donghua Immortal Domain.
"Star Shifting!"
The starlight was attracted, redirecting the bloody sword light that was slashing towards Jia Ren to instead slash toward the Slaughter Trickery Ancestor.
The bloody sword light entered the Slaughter Trickery Ancestor silently, vanishing without a trace, causing no wave of disturbance.
Simultaneously, the intangible stars formed into a formation in a flash, locking Jia Ren within.
Inside the Nine Heavens Star Fighting Formation, Jia Ren became illusory and transparent, like a bubble dissipating, yet the vanished body recondensed once more.
"Hmph, you control the Space Dao, this ancestor can't stop you from running away, but now, you can't escape from the palm of my hand."
The Daoist Ancestor Xingchen's rebounding of the Slaughter Trickery sword energy was secondary; the main focus was to trap Jia Ren.
He had been lurking here for a long time, finally waiting for the true target; how could he let him escape?
Changing the heavens and the earth was also about notifying the other Dao Ancestors of the Donghua Immortal Domain.
"Billions of Killing Swords!"
The Slaughter Trickery Ancestor understood the Daoist Ancestor Xingchen's intentions. In an instant, endless killing intent gathered, forming an ocean of killing aura.
Every strand of bloody killing aura transformed into a bloody sword light, and the endless killing aura turned into billions of killing swords. In an instant, there was only killing aura between heaven and earth.
They were about to overshadow the night and the brilliance of the stars, turning into a tide of lethal fish, majestically descending upon Jia Ren and the Daoist Ancestor Xingchen.
The starlight and night sky were torn apart in an instant, facing the overwhelming billion killing swords, unstoppable.
The Daoist Ancestor Xingchen did not continue to use Star Shifting; this power exceeded the transfer limit.
"I am the Star Overlord!"
"Star Force, imbue me!"
The stars, emerging from the night sky, swiftly multiplied, with countless star shadows, their glows shifting from dim to clear.
Numerous star forces surged into the body of the Daoist Ancestor Xingchen.
In an instant, an unimaginable giant starlight figure coalesced, its form seemingly filling every inch of space, so large it was immeasurable.
He wore a Taoist robe formed by stars, holding a whisk and a Seven Star Sword, his aura penetrating like an abyss or a prison.
The Star Overlord wielded the whisk, gently swaying it, and millions upon millions of killing sword energies vanished under a rushing Silver Star River.
The successive waves of killing sword energy assaulted once more, colliding continuously with the starry whisk, all annihilated by the whisk.
The billion killing sword energy disappeared like that.
Is it over?
The vanished billion killing sword energy reappeared, as if they had never disappeared.
"Epochal Slaughter Tribulation!"
Within an epoch, the killing aura generated by slaughter between heaven and earth converged here, continually swelling the power of the billion killing sword energy, its aura becoming even more terrifying.
The formless and intangible slaughter tribulation arrived, as if it was a dreadful disaster that even the Great Dao would perish.
The billion killing sword energy coalesced into the Sword of Epochal Slaughter Tribulation, slashing towards the distant Star Overlord, aiming to annihilate Jia Ren hidden within as well.
Seeing the situation turning dire, Jia Ren had long exiled himself in space to another realm, observing this battlefield through a split body.
Is this the combat power of a top-tier Dao Ancestor?
Can my current strength deal with the Slaughter Trickery Ancestor, or the Daoist Ancestor Xingchen?
The answer is exceptionally clear.
The Sword of Epochal Slaughter Tribulation furiously slashed at the Star Overlord; even before this sword came crushing down, a silent sigh echoed.
A cold voice resounded: "You two fools, fighting life and death over a fake person."
