Chapter 852 846: Thirteen Dao Ancestors? I Am the Ancestor of Space
Ancestor Jikong understood that he couldn't help his disciple in any major way, the only thing he could do was ensure the smooth operation of the Formation.
After failing to entice Ancestor Jikong through his self-corpse manipulation, he could only affect the Time Law and the Heaven Stealing Law to prevent the Corpse Severing Talisman from cutting himself off.
The grey blade of the Corpse Severing became illusionary and unstable, the power of each slash was inevitably affected.
The self-corpse was cut only halfway, not completely severed, and the power of the Corpse Severing Talisman was exhausted in the tug-of-war.
"This is my body, don't think you can make me leave!"
Jia Ren's left shoulder's flesh squirmed, quickly growing a second head that looked exactly like Jia Ren.
The potential of this body is extraordinary, enough to seize the opportunity to ascend to a Dao Ancestor, wield the Chaos Sacred Body, and achieve the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.
The self-corpse made every effort to seize control, refusing to let go.
Two wills continued to collide, with the balance of victory and defeat constantly shifting.
The Formation set up by Jia Ren was still present and would inevitably gain the advantage.
"Slumbering Law!"
The indiscriminate Slumbering Law descended, affecting both sides.
The self-corpse and Jia Ren were still in a tug-of-war, slightly disadvantaged against the power of the Slumbering Law, quickly controlling the Power of Tianzang to dissolve this force.
Jia Ren had anticipated this, forcibly suppressing the Power of Tianzang.
A failed attempt, it's not easy to regain the initiative again.
The two battling consciousnesses became lethargic, Jia Ren could still maintain some clarity, while the self-corpse was more affected, directly falling into slumber.
Jia Ren did not reverse the Slumbering Law; while it would alleviate his own condition, it would also allow the self-corpse to awaken.
This was his chance to turn the tables, and he could not let it slip away.
"Long River of Time!"
"Steal!"
Jia Ren barely supported his spirit, once again stealing the Corpse Severing Talisman from the past, continuing the unfinished task.
With the self-corpse no longer interfering, the progress was still not smooth.
Under the forced confrontation against sleep, maintaining the Time Law, Heaven Stealing Law, and the Corpse Severing Talisman was a severe test for himself.
This was a hard-won opportunity, missing a golden chance, the self-corpse felt the threat of being severed, surely would resort to desperate measures.
Attracting more than ten demon saint-level powerhouses, this was an unimaginable disaster.
The grey blade of corpse severing continuously descended, persistently slicing the self-corpse.
Time became exceptionally long; not knowing how long it had been, when Jia Ren was close to slumber, he finally used the Corpse Severing Talisman to cut the self-corpse off from himself.
The head growing out of Jia Ren's left neck side was still in a slumbering state, rapidly separating from himself, transforming into a second him.
By Strength, Prove the Dao with 129,600 Flesh and Blood Origin Realms, the Immortal Path was just a step away from ascending to the complete Daluo Golden Immortal.
Finally severing the self-corpse!
Jia Ren cut off the self-corpse, decisively lifting the power of the Slumbering Law, no longer affected by this state.
Detached from the body, the self-corpse unaffected by the Slumbering Law opened its eyes.
Unable to believe he would be expelled from the body, he could not accept this result.
"Better broken jade than intact tiles!"
"My name is Jia Ren!"
The self-corpse roared loudly, stating his name.
The next moment, an invisible gaze focused on this place.
The name of Jia Ren turned into bizarre words, anyone who uttered this name would cause the Ancestor of Deceit to focus on this place.
As the self-corpse shouted his name, he made no pause in his actions, transforming into a blood-red rainbow, charging through the Formation with irresistible momentum.
This formation was meant to suppress the mind and external demons; its defense was not strong, what's more, a formation resisting a Daluo Golden Immortal could not last an instant before a self-corpse.
All formations crumbled one by one, the self-corpse decisively charged towards Ancestor Jikong.
If it weren't for this old fellow ruining things, Jia Ren would have long been expelled, his place usurped, how could he become a loser?
The self-corpse hated Jia Ren most, followed by Ancestor Jikong.
"Space Stagnation!"
As the self-corpse was about to strike Ancestor Jikong's face, space seemed to freeze like a serene painting.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, Jia Ren was the only one unaffected.
Around the self-corpse, 129,600 Flesh and Blood Origin Realms lit up, vibrating endlessly, the surrounding space seemed like a broken mirror, showing cracks and then completely shattered.
Space stagnation only limited the self-corpse for less than an instant.
Until this moment, he truly felt the power of 129,600 Flesh and Blood Origin Realms.
Before the self-corpse could act against Ancestor Jikong, Jia Ren had already blocked the way, raising his hand to place the master into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
"Since you seized my body, let's all die together!!!"
The roar was like a landslide and tsunami, echoing for miles.
The burning blood-red black shadow had no intention of battling the main body, heading straight towards the Barren Domain.
This was a means to survive by facing death.
The various forces wanted to seize the main body, not the self-corpse.
With external force heavily damaging the main body, seizing the opportunity to possess, this was a chance to turn the tide.
Many Peculiar Path Strong Ones achieved their state by becoming the self-corpse's main body; they were delighted by such occurrences, not minding letting the target truly fall into the Peculiar Path.
Jia Ren foresaw the self-corpse's intentions, his figure flying to face him, the black skin covering every inch of his body.
Boom!
A punch was thrown, the fist carrying the power of the Slumbering Law, heavily slammed into the body of the self-corpse.
The self-corpse flew backward, smashing the ground into menacing cracks, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
Deep below the ground, the self-corpse's chest bone was indented, revealing a near-through chest indentation.
He lay sprawled on the earth, his chest's terrifying wound instantly healed as if it never existed. The power of the Law of Slumber was shattered by the Power of Tianzang, unable to affect him in the slightest.
Unlike the Law of Slumber he himself wielded, the forces of the two resisted each other, and Self-Corpse could not control the Tianzang's power.
Now, he had separated from his true self, no longer constrained.
The Power of Tianzang was sufficient to suppress the influence of all Law Powers; this was his confidence in challenging the Dao Ancestor.
Self-Corpse leapt from the pit, transforming into a blood rainbow and fleeing into the Barren Domain.
Self-Corpse knew many of his secrets, and perhaps carried other values; he must not escape.
The fleeing body was captured by an invisible force; Jia Ren appeared behind him at some unknown moment, with his palm dark and carrying a power of suction.
"Law of Blood!"
"Law of Flesh!"
Both palms landed on Self-Corpse's back, like the maw of an abyss, devouring the blood and flesh that originally belonged to him.
Power returns to its rightful owner!
Self-Corpse sensed he had no chance left, grasping Jia Ren in a reverse grip and unleashing a blood aura that shook the heavens, akin to a conspicuous star, revealing his existence to the fullest.
"Don't you like hiding? Let's see where you can hide this time!"
Self-Corpse's aura rapidly declined, yet he stubbornly held Jia Ren's arm.
Jia Ren wasted no time, recovering his power while simultaneously triggering the sealing law, strange lines climbing all over Self-Corpse's body.
His eyelids grew heavy, and even as he lost consciousness, he didn't let go of Jia Ren's arms.
Finally sealed!
Jia Ren stored Self-Corpse into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, handing it over to the Xuan Beast Avatar to send to the rear mountains for sealing.
Having completed all this, no trace of a smile appeared on his face.
More than a dozen figures exuding powerful auras swept into the scene, their expressions varied.
Some showed undisguised hostility, some greed, and others insanity.
The strong ones of the Demon Race included the Kunpeng Demon Saint of Swallowing Heaven, Immortal Nine Phoenixes Demon Saint, Illusionary Nine-Tailed Demon Saint, Solar Golden Crow Demon Saint, and Ghostly Yaosheng of the Spectral Wolf.
Peculiar Path Strong Ones were more numerous, with two old acquaintances: Corrupted Dao Ancestor and Sky Dream Demon Saint.
Additionally, there was a tiger-like Magical Beast with wings, radiating intense malice, it was the Qiong Qi Yaosheng mastering the Dao of Evil.
A dog-like great Demon, entirely covered in black hair, with a fork-tailed outline, it was Huodou, mastering the Dao of Calamity.
A gigantic snake demon with nine heads, each head emitted a different aura, the leading snakehead held the power of the poison source, it was the Yaosheng mastering the Dao of Poison.
A black-robed figure's form continuously released countless insects, seemingly composed of insects, ceaselessly entering and exiting, it was a Yaosheng mastering the Dao of Insects.
Lastly, there was a strong presence, deathly silent and extinct, yet with no physical embodiment, seemingly controlling the Dao of Death Silence.
The battle strength between the Demon Race and Peculiar Path was unequal, five against seven.
Yet... Regarding battle strength, they were not inferior.
Only because the Kunpeng Demon Saint of Swallowing Heaven, mastering the Dao of Devour, was the strongest of the Demon Race, a pinnacle Grand Dao Ancestor.
If not for Peculiar Path having something barely able to contend against it, they would have long reclaimed lost grounds.
Twelve Ancestral Master Realm strong ones sensed the shifts of the Heavenly Marsh Domain, especially when Jia Ren's name was uttered, Peculiar Path Strong Ones ignored the ongoing battle with the Demon Saints, rapidly rushing to the Heavenly Marsh Domain.
The Demon Saints worried about the last sanctuary being tainted, promptly returned to aid.
Self-Corpse was difficult to handle; hindering taking down in the first moment exposed himself inevitably.
Farewell!
Jia Ren showed not a hint of hesitation, invoking the power of Spatial Laws, without hesitation, using Spatial Banishment upon himself.
Nine different powers of the Great Dao descended, all Peculiar Path strong ones took action, along with some from the Demon Race including the Golden Crow Demon Saint, Nine Phoenix Demon Saint, and Ghostly Wolf Demon Saint.
As Jia Ren's body was about to vanish, a cold voice rang out from the sky.
"Space shifting is forbidden here!"
The voice carried a sinister bizarre qi, with language possessing inexplicable and strange power, enforcing prohibition.
Jia Ren's body, which had become illusory almost to disappearance, re-solidified, the power of Spatial Laws faded, and Spatial Banishment failed to take place.
An overwhelming force from Peculiar Path strong ones submerged him.
Boom!
A shadow, shattered and broken, was flung back, leaving behind a dark green flame trail.
Jia Ren's flesh was decaying, tainted with ghostly venom, countless insects gnawing away, flesh rotten, with gold and red flames burning, flesh emanating the aura of deathly despair.
Power of blood and flesh recomposition being suppressed, struggling to restore a human form.
Various Peculiar Path contaminations lingered, annihilation and rebirth alternated.
Jia Ren felt his consciousness muddled as if about to drift into slumber.
Among the thirteen Ancestral Master Realm strong ones, apart from those not taking action, the Swallowing Heaven Demon Saint and Nine-Tailed Demon Saint, all were enemies; if not for his current body being robust enough, he would have been dispersed on the spot.
Even so, the situation was extremely perilous; if unable to overcome this crisis, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jia Ren used the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force to cleanse Peculiar Path contaminations, sending a telepathic message to the Swallowing Heaven Demon Saint and Nine-Tails Fox Demon Saint who hadn't taken action: "Help me, and I promise rich rewards."
Their lack of action signified they could be allied, perhaps borrowing their strength.
In the next instant, an invisible force shifted, several assaults from Peculiar Path Ancestors and Demon Saints targeted distant areas instead of Jia Ren.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Saint first extended a helping hand.
Determination flickered in Jia Ren's eyes, realizing that law-level escape was impossible.
The only solution was ascending to the Ancestor of Space.
The river of time flowed back to the moment transforming into the Ancestor of Space, the five fingers exerting power infused with Heaven Stealing Law, stealing this force.
Simultaneously, the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda and an open Black Jade Box appeared within, releasing two fragmented Space Dao Guai.
Tracing back peculiar contaminations, remaining Dao merged into one.
In an instant, a terrifying force surged, Jia Ren instantly transformed into the Ancestor of Space.
