Chapter 1180: Pinnacle Dao Technique – Ghost Domain!

TL: Etude

Young Master Gui! Except for a few newly ascended Dao Ancestors, most Dao Ancestors had heard of this name.

The Heavenly Demon Sect’s Young Master Gui was a legendary figure. His fame had once echoed throughout the Vast Sea Domain. Although he was only a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, his reputation rivaled that of the Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

Within the Heavenly Demon Sect, Young Master Gui’s status was in no way inferior to those few Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

Young Master Gui was exceptionally powerful, far surpassing other Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors. Even Dao Ancestor Sky Claw and the others had publicly admitted their inferiority to him.

Young Master Gui disliked being addressed as a Dao Ancestor. Instead, he preferred others to call him “Young Master Gui,” and the name had stuck ever since.

“Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, sigh, I truly didn’t want to reveal myself!”

Young Master Gui appeared, accompanied by several Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

His arrival signified that the Heavenly Demon Sect had allied itself with the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

The Heavenly Demon Sect, an Eighth Heaven force with an ancient legacy, had silently and completely pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, catching everyone off guard.“Young Master Gui, hurry and make your move! Buy me some time!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle urgently called out.

“No problem!” Young Master Gui replied decisively.

With a sweeping motion, Young Master Gui stepped forward to confront Dao Ancestor Sky Claw directly.

Boom! Their Dao techniques collided fiercely. Yet, Young Master Gui stood immovable, while Dao Ancestor Sky Claw was sent flying backward.

There was no doubt—Dao Ancestor Sky Claw was no match for him.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha and Dao Ancestor Demon Subduer joined forces to resist Young Master Gui, barely managing to suppress him.

However, this shift caused the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace and the Heavenly Demon Sect to overwhelm the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Sea Sect, Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and Limitless Sky Sect.

The battle raged on, growing ever more brutal.

Ye Tian and a group of Dao Ancestors observed from the sidelines, refraining from joining the fray.

Before long, three major Eighth Heaven forces—Vajra City, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Heavenly Buddha Sect—entered the battle. It was clear they had reached an agreement to cooperate with the three Ninth Heaven forces: the Limitless Sky Sect, Heavenly Sea Sect, and Myriad Domains Divine Hall.

Though the three Eighth Heaven forces didn’t have many Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, their addition provided a fresh surge of power. The tide turned swiftly, and the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace were soon suppressed.

Suddenly.

A Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, gravely injured, took out a small token. Activating it, the token transformed into a miniature sword, unleashing an attack comparable to that of a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor.

Boom! A Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor from the Limitless Sky Sect was struck, their body shattering completely as they fell to their death.

Of course, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor who used this technique also exhausted their strength and was swiftly slain by another Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor from the Heavenly Sea Sect.

The battle became increasingly fierce. One by one, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors deployed their trump cards, leading to heavy injuries and deaths among them.

However, only the relatively weaker Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors fell. The truly powerful ones remained unharmed.

As time passed, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace began to exhaust their trump cards, and their advantage continued to dwindle.

When seven of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors had fallen and their defensive lines began to collapse, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle grew anxious.

“Young Master Gui, quickly deploy your Ghost Domain and keep buying us time!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle transmitted his voice.

“Understood!” Young Master Gui replied promptly.

The Ghost Domain was the only Pinnacle Dao Technique he had mastered, and its power was extraordinarily fearsome.

Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors usually did not cultivate Pinnacle Dao Techniques because they were exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Moreover, devoting their efforts to cultivating Grand Thousand Dao Techniques was sufficient for a lifetime, leaving little need to pursue Pinnacle Dao Techniques.

In fact, cultivating Pinnacle Dao Techniques as a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor was not necessarily a good thing. Pinnacle Dao Techniques contained the pinnacle of their respective Dao. However, someone else’s Pinnacle Dao Technique might not align with their own path. If they cultivated another’s Pinnacle Dao Technique, their body would bear that person’s pinnacle imprint, which could ultimately hinder their progression to becoming a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor.

Typically, only Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors who had given up hope of becoming a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor would consider cultivating Pinnacle Dao Techniques.

However, who would willingly abandon the hope of becoming a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor? As a result, very few among the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors chose to cultivate Pinnacle Dao Techniques. Even if they did, their foundation often wasn’t strong, their strength was limited, and their combat prowess, even with Pinnacle Dao Techniques, was not particularly impressive.

For this reason, individuals like Dao Ancestor Sky Claw, Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha, Dao Ancestor Demon Subduer, and Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, all of whom were Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, would never consider cultivating Pinnacle Dao Techniques.

Young Master Gui, however, was renowned precisely because he had created his own Pinnacle Dao Technique—the Ghost Domain! It was this very technique that granted him the ability to contend with Pinnacle Dao Ancestors on equal footing.

Buzz!

A wave of darkness surged forth, enveloping the surrounding area. The wave immediately swallowed the Limitless Sky Sect, the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, the Heavenly Sea Sect, and the Dao Ancestors of the other three Eighth Heaven forces.

What left people speechless was that the vast area affected by the Ghost Domain, coupled with its lack of precise control, also covered the region where Ye Tian stood, dragging him into the Ghost Domain as well.

The Ghost Domain, this Pinnacle Dao Technique, functioned similarly to a domain, suppressing the power of its enemies. However, it also possessed a characteristic of the Dark Forbidden Domain—it could create illusions, and these illusions were offensive in nature, capable of affecting even the soul of its target.

Once someone fell under the influence of the Ghost Domain, no matter how powerful they were, they could hardly stand against Young Master Gui.

Hissss!

A swarm of spectral entities, conjured illusions of the Ghost Domain, materialized around Ye Tian and swarmed toward him in an attempt to annihilate him.

At that moment, Ye Tian’s anger erupted.

“Begone!”

With a cold shout, the spectral entities shattered into fragments of light and dissipated entirely.

“Young Master Gui, if you dare provoke me, don’t blame me for turning my attention on you!” Ye Tian muttered under his breath.

Whoosh!

He executed the Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps and appeared at the battlefield where Dao Ancestor Sky Claw, Dao Ancestor Demon Subduer, Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha, and Young Master Gui were engaged.

Under the oppressive influence of the Ghost Domain, Dao Ancestor Sky Claw and the others were completely overpowered by Young Master Gui.

At this rate, the three Dao Ancestors would inevitably lose.

“It’s the Heavenly King Nine Limits!”

Dao Ancestor Sky Claw spotted Ye Tian and felt a surge of joy.

“Heavenly King Nine Limits, please help us take down Young Master Gui!” Dao Ancestor Sky Claw called out for help.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha also realized the situation.

“That’s right! Heavenly King Nine Limits possesses a major accomplishment Forbidden Body, and the Forbidden Domain from a major accomplishment Forbidden Body can definitely counter the Ghost Domain! Though we three wield the Dark Forbidden Power, it’s far too weak to form a Forbidden Body, let alone a minor accomplishment Forbidden Body. Without that, it’s impossible for us to manifest a Forbidden Domain. If Heavenly King Nine Limits assists us, we’ll surely defeat Young Master Gui!”

Thus, Dao Ancestor Sky Claw, Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha, and Dao Ancestor Demon Subduer all transmitted their pleas to Ye Tian, imploring him to lend his aid.
