Chapter 1170: The Death of Imperial Son Fengyang!

TL: Etude

Imperial Son Fengyang was utterly stunned. Wasn’t it said that the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws had only recently ascended to the Dao Ancestor realm? How could he possibly be this powerful? After all, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud was a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor—and even among the Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors, he was one of the most exceptional. Fear began to creep into Fengyang’s heart. His strongest protector right now was none other than Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud. The other Dao Ancestors at his side were relatively weak—utterly incapable of standing up to the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, let alone defeating him.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud was immobilized, and he hurriedly pleaded for his life. “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, spare me! Spare me!”

“Spare you?”

Ye Tian’s cold voice reverberated. “If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t my son have been killed by you? And now, you dare to beg for mercy?”

As his words fell, Ye Tian unleashed the Dark Forbidden Power, which continued to invade Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud’s body. Simultaneously, he cast a Grand Thousand Dao Technique—the Soul Golden Bell Technique! A spectral golden bell manifested between Ye Tian’s brows, then surged into Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud’s soul sea. It vibrated ceaselessly within, unleashing relentless tremors.

“Ahhh!!” Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud screamed in agony. He felt as though his soul was on the verge of shattering—no, it truly was breaking apart. Yet, thanks to the powerful resilience and regenerative ability of a Dao Ancestor’s soul, it began to heal.

Again and again, it healed, shattered, and healed anew. As time passed, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud’s aura weakened further and further.

Ye Tian accelerated the flow of time around them. Although it seemed as though a long period had elapsed, to those outside, it had all happened in an instant.

Suddenly.The aura of Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud vanished completely. His soul disintegrated entirely, and his body, corroded by the Dark Forbidden Power, crumbled into nothingness.

Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud was dead.

As the remnants of Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud disappeared, Imperial Son Fengyang trembled uncontrollably. He didn’t even dare to meet the gaze of the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, let alone attempt to flee. He feared that if he so much as moved, he would be obliterated in an instant.

Ye Tian then turned his attention to Ye Xingchen, accelerating his time flow to allow him to complete his transformation.

Before long, Ye Xingchen’s metamorphosis was complete. He officially became a Supreme True Ancestor.

“Thank you, Father, for your assistance!” Ye Xingchen said gratefully.

“You are my son. How could I possibly not intervene?” Ye Tian said with a smile.

Then, with a slight pause, he continued, “You’ve done well this time, breaking through in the midst of battle. I had thought it would take you much longer to reach the Supreme True Ancestor realm, but to my surprise, you’ve achieved it so quickly! Imperial Son Fengyang is your opponent. Your sparring match is not over yet. Continue—it doesn’t matter what happens. I’ll handle everything.”

“Yes!” Ye Xingchen nodded resolutely.

On the other side.

Imperial Son Fengyang quickly exclaimed, “I admit defeat! I surrender!”

How could he dare face Ye Xingchen now? Ye Xingchen was a Supreme True Ancestor, even if he had only just broken through and hadn’t yet reached his full potential. Imperial Son Fengyang wasn’t his match before, and now, he was even less so.

“Apologies, but I do not accept your surrender,” Ye Xingchen said coldly.

Earlier, Imperial Son Fengyang had ordered Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud to kill him. How could he possibly spare Imperial Son Fengyang now?

“Stop him! Help me block him!” Imperial Son Fengyang frantically commanded his Dao Ancestor bodyguards.

But in that instant, Ye Tian’s gaze locked onto the Dao Ancestors surrounding Imperial Son Fengyang.

“If you move, you die,” Ye Tian said, his voice laced with unyielding authority.

A Dao Ancestor made a move, but Ye Tian’s strike with the Forbidden Spear pierced through his body, pinning him to the void.

At that moment, the other Dao Ancestors dared not act.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen arrived before Imperial Son Fengyang, wielding the Starday Blade and slashing down.

Imperial Son Fengyang, already injured and far from recovering, was not at his peak combat strength. His power paled in comparison to Ye Xingchen’s overwhelming might. Even after unleashing a defensive dao technique with all his strength, he could not withstand the Starday Blade.

With a squelch, Imperial Son Fengyang’s body was nearly severed in two, his injuries deepened gravely.

Slash! Slash! Slash! The Starday Blade struck again and again. Imperial Son Fengyang could not resist. He tried to flee, but his speed was no match for Ye Xingchen’s.

Naturally, he attempted to use escape treasures, but Ye Xingchen activated a Forbidden Domain, followed by an intermediate Middle Thousand Dao Technique specializing in binding. These moves left Imperial Son Fengyang utterly unable to escape unless he possessed a Forbidden Wondrous Object akin to the Forbidden Void Leaf.

But how could he possibly have such a treasure? Feeling death’s approach, Imperial Son Fengyang hurriedly invoked his backing: “Ye Xingchen, I am an Imperial Son of the Heavenly Emperor Palace! Even your father, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, is but an ant before the Heavenly Emperor Palace! If you kill me, the palace will rage, and your Human Race will face extermination!”

Ye Xingchen was utterly unfazed by Imperial Son Fengyang’s threats. His father had already assured him that all consequences would be borne by him.

Since even his father hadn’t intervened, why should he hold back? With a slash, the Starday Blade severed Imperial Son Fengyang’s trembling energy. A noble head flew into the air.

Next, Ye Xingchen unleashed a Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Starday Divine Spear. A single strike pinned Imperial Son Fengyang’s head in place. At the same time, he continued his relentless assault on Imperial Son Fengyang’s body, reducing it to rubble.

And yet, Imperial Son Fengyang’s head remained, roaring defiantly, still alive.

As an Invincible True Ancestor at his pinnacle, Imperial Son Fengyang could not be easily killed. Ye Xingchen lacked the means to end such a formidable foe swiftly unless he cultivated forbidden techniques and gained more years of accumulation at the Supreme True Ancestor level.

After a while, the Starday Blade had nearly reduced Imperial Son Fengyang’s head to countless fragments. Even his soul had been shattered into pieces and was completely obliterated.

It was only at this point that Imperial Son Fengyang could be considered truly dead.

Though it seemed like ages had passed, the entire battle had lasted only a dozen or so minutes.

With Imperial Son Fengyang’s fall, his Dao Ancestor guards dared not make a move.

However, Ye Tian was well aware that the Heavenly Emperor Palace must already know of Imperial Son Fengyang’s demise.

After all, Imperial Son Fengyang and his Dao Ancestor guards would have notified the palace. Among the spectating Dao Ancestors, there were bound to be informants as well.

Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the powerful Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace to arrive.

Boom! The void trembled as a figure emerged from nothingness, eyes coldly fixed on Ye Tian. “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, your Human Race is quite bold to kill our Imperial Son. Do you truly think nothing of the Heavenly Emperor Palace?”

The newcomer was a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor from the Heavenly Emperor Palace—Dao Ancestor War Fire, under the Heavenly Dragon Hall, tasked with managing warfare.

“So, they only sent a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor?” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

He had thought the Heavenly Emperor Palace would dispatch a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor immediately. It seemed that an Imperial Son wasn’t significant enough for such a move.

“Dao Ancestor War Fire, if Imperial Son Fengyang had fought my son fairly and lost, the Human Race wouldn’t have pursued him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t accept defeat and ordered a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor to kill my son! Are your Imperial Sons above defeat? Whoever wins, you destroy their faction? Does this mean that if your Heavenly Emperor Palace kills someone and is retaliated against, you’ll annihilate their sect? Such arrogance from your palace is truly outrageous!” Ye Tian mocked.

His words instantly resonated with many Dao Ancestors. Several nodded in secret, and the looks they cast at Dao Ancestor War Fire began to change.
