Chapter 849 843: Battle of Dao Ancestors, Treasure Rule
Has my disguise been seen through?
Jia Ren realized the situation was dire and decisively annihilated the sub-body; the flesh decayed and became silent.
A figure in a grey Taoist robe passed through the starlight guardians without any obstruction, entering the Star Seal and reaching for the annihilated flesh.
As long as Jia Ren left some traces, with a tail, it might be possible to locate his position with Supreme Divine Ability.
No matter if it succeeds or not, it must be tried.
The situation in the Immortal Realm is gradually deteriorating, the Bizarre Path flourishing, Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor feels it hard to maintain the situation, tracing back the power of the Bizarre Path is the only way to break the situation, he must obtain it at all costs.
Slaughter Trickery Ancestor realized something, the crimson giant sword formed by the Epochal Slaughter Tribulation turned its spearhead.
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor descended, he must not let him gain Jia Ren.
He was already a major threat to the Bizarre Path, if he gains control of the Bizarre Law of Source Tracing and the power of Great Dao pollution, no one can counterbalance him.
The crimson sword formed by the Epochal Slaughter Tribulation slashes over, even the Great Dao would be shattered; wherever the sword passes, all things steeped become tainted with crimson.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Seven Stars Dao Palace!"
Star Overlord brought out the Seven Star Sword, the power of the Star Great Dao around him converging onto the sword, the seven giant stars like worlds rising up.
Inside a huge star sphere, numerous stars link up to form a massive Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation.
The Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation enhanced by the power of the Star Great Dao possesses terrifying power, a formation enough to suppress ordinary Bizarre Dao Ancestors.
Seven formations connect across the Seven Stars Pearl, sufficient to suppress the vast majority of Bizarre Dao Ancestors of the current era, overwhelming the enemies of a lifetime.
This is the Seven Stars Dao Palace, the trump card of Daoist Ancestor Xingchen.
Seven Stars Dao Palace transforms into countless layers of star formations, blocking the terrifying Epochal Slaughter Tribulation.
The crimson giant sword crashes into the combined formation of seven stars, silver and crimson intertwining, the roar almost silencing the heavens and earth.
Seven Stars Dao Palace unites into one, continually suppressing and dissipating the sword light.
The killing intent formed by the Epochal Slaughter Tribulation is endless, destruction and rebirth alternate incessantly, seeming without end.
The crimson giant sword inches closer, giving an impression of being unstoppable, yet unable to tear through the Seven Stars Dao Palace, preventing Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor from reaching Jia Ren's remaining flesh.
At this moment, three figures in black robes appear behind Slaughter Trickery Ancestor, each exuding different Bizarre Path qi.
"Slow!"
"Retreat!"
"Corpse-stiff!"
Three different Bizarre Path powers fall onto Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor.
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor's movements become stiff and slow, his body uncontrollably retreating, away from the remaining flesh.
They are three Bizarre Dao Ancestors respectively mastering the Speed Bizarre Path, Puppet Bizarre Path, and Corpse Bizarre Path.
The Immortal Path has Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor's support, the Bizarre Path too has its backup.
Both Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor and Daoist Ancestor Xingchen are affected, only a moment of delay, the battle transforms drastically.
"Explode!"
Slaughter Trickery Ancestor feels the opportunity secured by his three fellow Daoists, and pours in all his might.
The sword of the Epochal Slaughter Tribulation drives in and explodes, the terrifying killing intent transforms into a tide of crimson.
The exploding crimson killing qi tears through the slowly operating star formation, shattering layers of barriers, vast crimson killing qi surging in all directions.
All are dissolved under the tide of crimson, becoming nothingness.
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor rises in five-colored light, shattering the stagnation on his body, his gaze resolute advancing, striving to reach Jia Ren's remaining flesh.
The chaotic and violent tide of crimson killing qi approaches, continually shattered by the surging five-colored light, any incoming Bizarre Path power ground away by the five-colored primal chaos power, transforming into the qi of chaos.
Unbreakable by all methods, impervious to all tribulations!
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor reaches his destination, his complexion pale.
The remaining flesh of Jia Ren withdraws its power, becoming decayed and withered, facing the intense battle of six Dao Ancestor level beings, thoroughly extinguished.
The Bizarre Dao Ancestors find it hard to achieve, but ruin comes easily.
"Leave immediately!"
"Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor is going to go mad!"
The four Bizarre Dao Ancestors didn't kill Jia Ren, but they also thwarted Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor's actions.
As long as the enemy doesn't succeed, that's the greatest triumph.
The Speed Bizarre Dao Ancestor transforms into extreme speed, applying it to each of the four Bizarre Dao Ancestors, they become escape light fleeing in different directions.
The four joining hands are still not opponents for Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor, they can only flee.
Next depends on whose luck is bad...
Several silently glance at Slaughter Trickery Ancestor, inwardly mourning for three breaths.
"Damn Bizarre insects, you all shall die!"
The opportunity so close was ruined by them, Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor flares up with hair and beard flying, his eyes boiling with killing intent.
"Lend me a hand."
Daoist Ancestor Xingchen didn't manage to block Slaughter Trickery Ancestor's onslaught, feeling guilty, he quickly nods in agreement.
"Star Shift!"
Above the sky, a star shines brightly, erasing Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor's presence from where he stood, suddenly appearing in front of the Speed Bizarre Dao Ancestor.
???
Slaughter Trickery Ancestor is the real culprit, why chase me?
"Slow!"
The Slow Bizarre Path had just taken effect, but was shattered by the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor, who charged forward without slowing.
However, the Speed Bizarre Path Ancestor ran too quickly, disappearing in a flash.
When it comes to fleeing, the Speed Great Dao ranks just after the Space Dao.
"Star Lure!"
The stars in the sky lit up, radiating across all regions of the Donghua Immortal Domain.
As long as the Bizarre Path Ancestor remains in Donghua Immortal Domain, they will be drawn by the Star Force, flying towards the starry sky.
The four Bizarre Path Ancestors concentrated their power to resist this pull, inevitably affecting their speed.
The Speed Bizarre Path Ancestor, yet to escape Donghua Immortal Domain, was caught by Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor, whose five-colored luminescent punch exploded the Bizarre Body, shattering the Bizarre Qi.
The Bizarre Path Power continued to regenerate and restructure, before even recovering the Bizarre Body, the Star Dao Ancestor had already arrived.
The Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation descended, forcibly sealing it.
This war triggered by Jia Ren ended with the sealing of the Speed Bizarre Path Ancestor.
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor opened his palm, conjuring the faces of the vanished immortals of Ming Luo Hall, their features vanishing in his palm: "Go spread the word."
"Those wishing to save the people of Ming Luo Hall can head to Starflow Sect or Hunyuan Hall."
...
Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor is so strong!
Truly a formidable presence that suppresses the Buddhist Sect to hide in the Netherworld, afraid to venture out.
If the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor pursues, can I be a match?
The only choice is to steal power from the past using Time Law, briefly transform into the Ancestor of Space.
However, one must be strong oneself; must seize time and quickly ascend to the Ancestor of Space.
Jia Ren traveled all the way to the Xihua Immortal Domain, hiding there.
The power of good and evil that affects one's mind still exists but won't affect him; he slipped into the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm, concealing his presence.
The power of his clones and his own aura fully retracted, the remaining flesh completely altered in nature, unable to trace him.
This was a lesson learned from facing the Curse Bizarre Path Ancestor, the same mistake will not be made a second time.
He believes he did a good job tying up loose ends; even if someone left behind flesh, they cannot locate him. Out of caution, he still needs to remain steady.
Jia Ren entered the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, tirelessly devouring the Immortal Artifacts obtained from the Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect.
"Devouring Rule!"
The Power of Laws transforms into the Devouring Rule through the Gray Pearl, then an Immortal Artifact is taken out to begin devouring.
The Spirit Devouring Treasure Art corresponds to the Devouring Rule; augmented by the Supreme-grade Devouring Rule, the gains from devouring are the highest.
A Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact is rapidly digested, continually transformed into Heavenly Treasure Immortal Force, circulated through Grand Circulation into Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, finally entering the Star Celestial Palace.
Immortal power starts to accumulate, cultivation level steadily rising.
"The effect of devouring one Middle-grade Immortal Artifact is equivalent to ten Lower-grade Immortal Artifacts, ten Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts equal one High-grade Immortal Artifact... The Immortal Artifacts obtained from the Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect equate to one hundred and two Supreme-grade Immortal Artifacts."
"One Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact can fill ten Star Immortal Orifices; now, three Supreme-grade Immortal Artifacts are needed to satisfy one Star Celestial Palace."
"Devouring all Immortal Artifacts can fill up to three hundred and forty Star Immortal Orifices, still slightly short of the goal."
Jia Ren devoured one Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact, estimating the result based on feedback.
Immortal Artifacts of the same grade have quality differences; devouring effects fluctuate slightly, but won't diverge much from this number.
"Based on this estimate, forty-two more Supreme-grade Immortal Artifacts are needed to achieve the wish."
"Suddenly, I have an idea."
Jia Ren thought of something, his eyes brightening.
In the next moment, part of the Power of Laws transformed through the Gray Pearl into the Treasure Rule.
This is a rule corresponding to treasures, spanning Magical Treasures, Spiritual Treasures, Immortal Treasures.
This rule of power is mainly used in refining treasures, strengthening their potency, not directly used in battle and cultivation; must use treasures as a medium.
This rule of power dependent on external objects has always been disregarded by immortals, only artifact refining sects have people who master such rules.
Outside the Xuantian Celestial Treasure Sect, among the bizarre demons, was such a rule of power.
This was the source of his inspiration.
The Treasure Rule fell upon a Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact, instantly amplifying its emitted power, its aura becomes more astounding.
Jia Ren multitasked, his left hand emanating golden treasure light, invoking the Immortal Spiritual Qi within the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl to augment the Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact's power.
The potency and additional effects of this Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact reached triple previous levels, enhancing strength astoundingly.
Using the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art to devour 'enhanced' Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact, will the effect of devouring improve?
His left hand emanated black light, transforming into an abyssal giant mouth, slowly consuming this artifact, leaving only useless residue falling from the fingertips.
"Devour!"
Accompanied by the sounds of chewing, the rich brilliance of the Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact gradually dimmed, the light becoming weaker.
Only after the complete consumption of the Supreme-grade Immortal Artifact did he slowly open his eyes.
Within his eyes were both joy and disappointment, mingling disparate emotions.
The good news is, with the Treasure Rule reinforced and the application of the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art, it certainly surpasses regular devouring.
The bad news is, the devouring effect fell short of expectations; far from achieving a triple fold increase, merely thirty percent.
Jia Ren understood the root of the problem, no longer bewildered.
The Spirit Devouring Treasure Art devours the treasure itself, not the power of the rule.
Apart from the undevourable Treasure Rule, obtaining a thirty percent boost already matches expectations.
