Chapter 1182: Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s Misfortune!
TL: Etude
“Go!”
A Forbidden Supreme Treasure resembling a compass was summoned by Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, appearing outside the great formation. In an instant, it locked the surrounding void in place.
In a flash.
A light barrier enveloped this vast region, sealing it off completely, as if separating it into two worlds that could not be bridged.
“What is this?”
Dao Ancestor Sky Claw gazed at the light barrier with great confusion.
He attempted to attack it, but his strikes had no effect. Under the barrier’s suppression, the void in this area was entirely locked. Their speed was significantly reduced, and they couldn’t use any treasures to traverse or escape.
In other words, they were trapped within this region.
“Don’t bother wasting your energy!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle declared, “To ensure I can successfully refine the Forbidden Void Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Palace bestowed this Space-Fixing Disk upon me, a Forbidden Supreme Treasure. Let alone you Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, even a top-tier Pinnacle Dao Ancestor would take a long time to break this barrier.You’ve forced the Heavenly Emperor Palace to expend such a precious Forbidden Supreme Treasure. Once I take control of the Forbidden Void Realm, all of you will die!”
“What?!”
The expressions of Dao Ancestor Sky Claw and the others changed dramatically. They couldn’t believe it. Each of them launched frantic attacks against the barrier, yet it remained unshaken.
Ye Tian also attempted a few strikes, but he couldn’t breach the barrier. It felt as indestructible as an eternal seal.
“Kill the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace first!” Dao Ancestor Sky Claw said coldly.
If they could eliminate all the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, then only Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle would remain. Even if he used the Forbidden Void Realm to suppress them, killing them all would be much more difficult.
However, if many Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace remained alive, under Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s suppression, they would have no chance to resist.
Immediately, under the relentless attacks of Dao Ancestors Sky Claw, Evil Buddha, and Demon Subduer—three invincible Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors—many of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors fell one after another. Several Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Sect also failed to escape their fate and were slaughtered as well.
However, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had many Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, and killing them all was proving to be quite difficult.
As time passed, Dao Ancestor Sky Claw and his group grew increasingly anxious, sensing that the Forbidden Void Realm was on the verge of being refined.
They nearly descended into madness.
After all, when their lives were at stake, could they remain calm? Among the Dao Ancestors present, the calmest one was Ye Tian.
After all he was merely a copy body. Even if he truly perished, it would be as if he had never entered the Forbidden Void Realm. Although losing numerous Forbidden Wondrous Objects and the Forbidden Spiritual Root Flower would be a great pity, there wasn’t much else he could do.
Still, if this copy body truly faced annihilation, he was determined to destroy the Forbidden Spiritual Root Flower beforehand, ensuring it wouldn’t fall into Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s hands.
More time passed, and Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s expression grew more exhilarated. It was clear he was moments away from refining the Forbidden Void Realm.
“Dao Ancestors Sky Claw, Evil Buddha, and Demon Subduer, you dared to kill so many of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors! Soon, you will all perish, one by one!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle laughed wildly.
He was convinced that no one could stop him now because he was certain to refine and control the Forbidden Void Realm.
Abruptly.
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s expression froze. The origin of his Void Realm had vanished.
No, it hadn’t vanished—it had become undetectable. Even with the great formation of the realm, he couldn’t sense it anymore.
Then—whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! One after another, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors were teleported out. The Dao Ancestors scattered across the Forbidden Void Realm were also moved out, without exception.
Even the Dao Ancestors, such as Dao Ancestor Sky Claw, who had been suppressed by the Forbidden Supreme Treasure Space-Fixing Disk, were relocated. This demonstrated that no matter how formidable the Forbidden Supreme Treasure was, it could not resist the power of the Forbidden Void Realm.
When Dao Ancestor Sky Claw was shifted away, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle roared in anger, “No!”
Shortly after, he too discovered that he was being relocated. At the moment of being moved, despair consumed him.
He understood completely—someone had refined and taken control of the Forbidden Void Realm before him.
What made it worse was that he seemed to be the last one to be relocated.
If he exited last, others would naturally assume he had refined and controlled the Forbidden Void Realm. How could he possibly explain it wasn’t him? Would anyone believe him? Would the Heavenly Emperor Palace believe him? After all, even if interrogated, the other Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace would most likely conclude he was the one who had gained control. There was no second individual who had shown signs of refining the Forbidden Void Realm!
…
Outside the Forbidden Void Realm, one Dao Ancestor after another began to emerge. Ye Tian also stepped out.
Finally, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle appeared as well.
At this moment, the various major factions stepped forward to protect their respective Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors.
Dao Ancestor Sky Claw spoke first. “Dao Ancestor Xumi, Dao Ancestor Heaven Devourer, the Forbidden Void Realm has been refined by Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle. We couldn’t stop him!”
“It’s over, it’s over!” Dao Ancestor Xumi sighed.
In the distance, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle seethed with anger. “I never refined the Forbidden Void Realm! If I had, do you think you’d all still be alive?”
Dao Ancestor Evil Buddha retorted, “How do we know you aren’t just pretending? At that time, only you were refining the Forbidden Void Realm, and you even used the Forbidden Supreme Treasure Space-Fixing Disk from the Heavenly Emperor Palace. No one could interrupt your refinement. You claim it wasn’t you, so who else could it have been?”
“I don’t know who refined the Forbidden Void Realm, but it was absolutely not me!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle tried to explain further.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Profound Crane, fixed his sharp gaze on Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle.
“Stone Eagle, explain yourself. What exactly happened?”
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle quickly recounted the series of events.
However, after hearing the explanation, Dao Ancestor Profound Crane’s expression turned even colder.
Profound Crane then questioned the other Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Palace and pieced together the situation.
“Stone Eagle, you’re one of the more promising Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors in the Heavenly Emperor Palace. For someone like you, breaking through to the rank of Pinnacle Dao Ancestor isn’t beyond reach. This is just a small Forbidden Void Realm. Once you ascend to the ranks of the Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, you wouldn’t even be able to enter the Forbidden Void Realm anymore.
I don’t know what treasure you discovered within the Forbidden Void Realm that drove you to betray the Heavenly Emperor Palace for the sake of monopolizing it. All I can say is…I’m deeply disappointed.”
Dao Ancestor Profound Crane’s voice was cold and cutting.
“Lord Profound Crane, it really wasn’t me!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle explained again.
But his words fell on deaf ears.
“Enough! Return to the Heavenly Emperor Palace. The Imperial Monarchs will extract your soul origin memory, and the truth will become evident then!” Profound Crane ordered sternly.
“No! Lord Profound Crane, please!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s face was filled with despair.
He knew that once his soul origin memory was forcibly extracted, his soul origin would suffer severe damage. Most of his potential would be consumed, leaving him with little hope of ever reaching the combat strength of a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor. Yet, the Heavenly Emperor Palace didn’t believe him.
