Chapter 1177: Breakthrough in Power, Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian activated the Grand Thousand Dao Technique—Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps, darting into the battlefield with an incredibly swift and ghost-like figure.

At the same time, he summoned the major accomplishment Forbidden Body, along with defensive dao techniques like the Nine-Turn Immortal Gold Body and the Primeval Desolate Body. No matter how the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors’ attacks rained down upon him, he remained unfazed.

The Nine-Turn Immortal Gold Body was shattered! The Primeval Desolate Body was also broken! Yet Ye Tian did not panic at all. Relying on his Forbidden Body, he endured the injuries head-on, continuously repairing himself using the Forbidden Origin Power.

When it came to survival, he was virtually invincible! Like this, Ye Tian withstood the barrage of attacks from numerous Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors as he charged toward the Forbidden Spiritual Root. With a single strike of the Primeval Slashing Technique, he severed a sizable branch from the Forbidden Spiritual Root.

The Forbidden Spiritual Root was incredibly tough and nearly impossible to cut. However, the Primeval Slashing Technique, a Grand Thousand Dao Technique, specialized in severing resilient objects. As a result, Ye Tian was able to sever the Forbidden Spiritual Root in one blow. By contrast, though the other Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors’ attacks surpassed Ye Tian’s in raw power, they struggled to sever the root in one strike.

Techniques like fire attribute dao techniques or ice attribute dao techniques were fundamentally unsuited for cutting the Forbidden Spiritual Root. After severing the branch, Ye Tian swiftly collected it and used the Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps to make a rapid retreat.

“Heavenly King Nine Limits! Leave the Forbidden Spiritual Root behind!”

The enraged roars of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors reverberated through the air.

Boom! Numerous dao technique attacks landed on Ye Tian’s body, including strikes from top-tier Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors.Ye Tian’s body was repeatedly heavily injured, even pierced through entirely at times. If not for his major accomplishment Forbidden Body and the Forbidden Origin Power continuously repairing him, he would have been instantly annihilated.

Even so, enduring such a barrage left him gravely wounded.

Ye Tian dared not attempt to seize the remaining Forbidden Spiritual Root branches—it would have been suicidal.

As Ye Tian broke out of the encirclement, the number of Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors pursuing him dwindled. His unparalleled survival ability made him too difficult a target. Chasing him meant forgoing the opportunity to seize the Forbidden Spiritual Root, a trade-off that wasn’t worth it.

Before long, no one was chasing after Ye Tian.

…

Within the Forbidden Void Realm, in a desolate and uninhabited void.

Ye Tian set up a simple concealment array and hid within it to heal his injuries.

At this moment, Ye Tian appeared utterly battered. One arm was missing entirely, his body was riddled with holes, and he had nearly bled dry.

These external wounds were only superficial compared to the damage inside. The destructive power of countless rules wreaked havoc on his flesh and bones. If not for the major accomplishment Forbidden Body mitigating the damage, he would have already perished.

Under normal circumstances, any other Dao Ancestor sustaining such injuries would require millions of years of slumber just to recover.

Ye Tian activated a forbidden technique, channeling the Forbidden Origin Power to repair his body.

Gradually, his injuries began to heal.

“The Forbidden Origin Power is astonishingly effective at healing!” Ye Tian exclaimed with delight.

It was only because of the inexhaustible Forbidden Origin Power that he dared to charge into the fray and snatch the Forbidden Spiritual Root.

All in all, this venture had yielded tremendous rewards.

Accelerating time, it wasn’t long before Ye Tian had fully recovered.

Afterward, he sought out a more hidden location, retrieving a palace, shrinking it, and using a concealment array to secure the area. He then began a secluded cultivation session.

…

Inside the palace.

Ye Tian brought out the Forbidden Spiritual Root. A massive trunk nearly three hundred meters long lay on the ground, with droplets of Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid oozing from it.

Ye Tian took out a Forbidden Gourd and began collecting the Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid. Before long, he had gathered all the liquid, leaving behind only the husk of the Forbidden Spiritual Root.

This husk could also be considered a cultivation resource. If refined, it could similarly enhance one’s cultivation, though its value was far inferior to the Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid.

Thus, Ye Tian stored the husk within his inner world.

Next, Ye Tian began cultivating the Nine Limits Dao Canon using the Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid.

Boom! As a single drop of Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid entered his mouth, a surge of immense energy flooded his entire body. Under the refinement of the Nine Limits Dao Canon, this energy transformed into newly-formed Forbidden Dao Force, which gradually tempered his physical body and soul, strengthening his cultivation.

The refinement of just one drop of Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid equaled a thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Moreover, refining a single drop of Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid required less than an hour. This speed of cultivation was beyond imagination.

Even more important was the fact that using the Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid for cultivation virtually eliminated bottlenecks, whereas traditional cultivation methods often faced bottlenecks where progress would stagnate.

Day after day passed, and Ye Tian’s cultivation advanced at an incredible speed. He accelerated time by ten thousandfold, allowing him to cultivate extensively while only a short time passed in the outside world, ensuring no delays.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed in the outside world, but Ye Tian had cultivated for 30,000 days within the accelerated time formation.

By this time, he had refined the majority of the Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid. His Forbidden Dao Force had grown dozens of times more potent, and his combat strength had broken the bottleneck between the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor and the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor realms.

Now, he had truly become a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor—one of considerable strength at that.

“The remaining Forbidden Spiritual Root Liquid can be brought back for Yue’er, Xingchen, and Xingyue. Besides, even if I refined all that’s left, it wouldn’t significantly enhance my power anymore,” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

This time, the emergence of such a rare Forbidden Treasure as the Forbidden Spiritual Root in the Forbidden Void Realm indicated that there must be more Forbidden Spiritual Roots in this place.

Ye Tian was determined to seize more Forbidden Spiritual Roots. With them, his growth rate would be unmatched. He wouldn’t need much time to step into the ranks of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Without such treasures, no matter how extraordinary his talent was, it would be difficult to achieve such progress in a short period.

Additionally, he had another goal: to kill Dao Ancestor Flying Dragon.

With his current strength, he had a near ninety percent chance of killing Flying Dragon and no longer had to worry about the latter escaping.

“My next two goals: find more Forbidden Spiritual Roots and eliminate Dao Ancestor Flying Dragon!”

Ye Tian exited his seclusion, putting away the palace and deactivating the formation. In a flash of light, he vanished.

…

“Damn it, these injuries are too severe!” Dao Ancestor Flying Dragon cursed as he dragged his heavily wounded body through the void, constantly shifting directions.

He had already used several life-saving treasures, barely managing to evade the encirclement of multiple Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors. Without the foundation he had built over the years, he would have perished outright.

Yet, a surge of excitement filled him.

This time, he had been the first to discover a black flower with 108 petals. Upon his appraisal, he confirmed that this black flower was no ordinary Forbidden Wondrous Object but an exceedingly rare Forbidden Spiritual Root. Each petal was enough to significantly advance one’s cultivation.

Flying Dragon knew that his potential was nearly exhausted, and he had no hope of stepping into the ranks of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. However, if he could refine that Forbidden Spiritual Root Flower, it would allow his Dao Force to break through its limitations and continuously rise.

If successful, he would become one of the most top-tier Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, standing above the weaker ones.
