Chapter 1187: Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle Falls into a Trap and Dies!
TL: Etude
“Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle!”
Imperial Monarch Guangling was furious. The figure displayed within the Time-Space Imperial Mirror was none other than Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor whose soul origin memory had been extracted ten thousand years ago.
“Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle happens to possess a Dao-level core talent in the ice attribute. He was once an Imperial Son of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, heavily nurtured by the palace.
Last time, the Heavenly Emperor Palace mistakenly discredited him, crippling his potential. To compensate for this, they assigned him a decent position, granting him command over one hundred thousand troops of the Heavenly Army and overseeing their training at a newly established base.
But who would have thought he would dare slaughter a family under the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s banner!”
Imperial Monarch Guangling muttered coldly.
As for why Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle had massacred the Feng Family, he didn’t know, nor did he care to find out.
He was well aware of the Time-Space Imperial Mirror’s capabilities. This was a top-tier Forbidden Weapon forged by Domain Ancestor Vast Sea using a strongest forbidden supreme treasure. No form of concealment could escape the mirror’s investigation.
Unless no traces were left behind whatsoever, the Time-Space Imperial Mirror would absorb no aura and, naturally, be unable to track the culprit. However, in this case, the mirror had captured traces of the perpetrator’s aura, and the investigation confirmed it to be Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle. This method of investigation was even more reliable than directly extracting soul origin memory.Thus, this matter was beyond doubt—it had to be the work of Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle!
Imperial Monarch Guangling waved his hand, instantly reducing the Luanfeng Continent to ashes before turning back to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Upon returning, he summoned the manifestation of the Time-Space Imperial Mirror and presented the investigative results to the gathered Imperial Monarchs.
The Imperial Monarchs were enraged upon seeing the evidence.
…
Heavenly Emperor Palace, Sixth Heavenly Army Training Base
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the Imperial Monarchs descended. All the Heavenly Army soldiers and reserve forces knelt in unison.
“Greetings, Imperial Monarchs!”
“Greetings, Imperial Monarchs!”
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle also appeared, hurriedly bowing in respect. “Stone Eagle greets the esteemed Imperial Monarchs!”
However, he quickly sensed something was off. The Imperial Monarchs radiated furious anger, and their auras all locked onto him.
“What’s going on? Could it be because I’ve been slacking off in training the Heavenly Army? But even so, it shouldn’t warrant so many Imperial Monarchs coming to question me!” Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle was utterly perplexed.
At this moment, Imperial Monarch Guangling spoke coldly, “Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, you massacred the Feng Family under the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Your actions are vile, and the Heavenly Emperor Palace has decreed your execution!”
“What!”
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle was utterly bewildered. “Esteemed Imperial Monarchs, I swear I did not massacre the Feng Family! Please, extract my soul origin memory—you’ll see that I am innocent!”
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle hurriedly pleaded.
He believed that extracting his soul origin memory would prove his innocence, allowing him to avoid death.
Although another extraction would damage his soul and leave it flawed, he had already resigned himself to the fact that he could no longer ascend to become a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor. At this point, he didn’t care about such a drawback.
However, Imperial Monarch Guangling sneered. “Stone Eagle, how clever you are. I suspect you possess some rare method to alter your soul’s origin qi. It’s entirely possible that you even refined the Forbidden Void Realm.”
“To tell you the truth, this time, we used the Time-Space Imperial Mirror. You may not fully understand its significance, but once the Time-Space Imperial Mirror is activated, even an Invincible Dao Ancestor cannot conceal their identity.
The Time-Space Imperial Mirror revealed that it was you who personally annihilated the Feng Family. Alright, we have no time to listen to your explanations!”
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle wanted to explain, but Imperial Monarch Guangling struck directly.
Bang!
Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s body exploded instantly. As a peak-level Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, he had no chance to resist and was directly suppressed and killed by Imperial Monarch Guangling.
After killing Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, the Imperial Monarchs left one after another.
With the fall of Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle, the matter came to an end. The Heavenly Emperor Palace had also given an explanation to the countless families under his command.
However, the Heavenly Emperor Palace did not suspect Ye Tian in the slightest. After all, the Copy Talent was too terrifying. Even the Time-Space Imperial Mirror could not discern Ye Tian’s identity, only detecting that it was Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s replicated body.
…
Ye Tian quickly learned that Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle had been executed by the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
To this, he could only express regret.
In the days that followed, Ye Tian devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, comprehending dao techniques, and striving to bring one Grand Thousand Dao Technique after another to the limit realm.
As for ascending to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage, he was in no hurry.
He had already mastered the Dark Forbidden Power and the Forbidden Body, and he had comprehended the Infinite Forbidden Dao. Breaking through to become a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor posed no challenge for him.
However, he did not wish to rush into the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage. He wanted to accumulate a stronger foundation.
At the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor level, the more powerful one’s strength, the greater the leap in power after breaking through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage.
Strictly speaking, the gap between a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor and a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor was not merely a difference in power but effectively a leap between two distinct realms.
Once one broke through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage, the Dao Ancestor’s body would transform into the Pinnacle Dao Body, automatically comprehending the Pinnacle Grand Dao. Ye Tian, however, had comprehended the Infinite Forbidden Dao, which surpassed the Pinnacle Grand Dao.
Thus, if he broke through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage, his Forbidden Body would improve further, and his Infinite Forbidden Dao would instantly gain countless insights, advancing to a higher level.
Additionally, his Dao Ancestor body, Forbidden Dao Force, and soul would undergo profound transformations.
For this reason, many Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, despite being confident in their ability to break through to Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, delayed their breakthrough to amass greater reserves.
Ye Tian’s current combat strength had reached the peak of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor level, but this standard was based on the Profound Void Archaic Realm. It did not signify that he had reached the absolute limit of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor stage. He could still enhance his strength further—so why rush?
While Ye Tian remained in seclusion, Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue, and Ye Yu also began attempting breakthroughs to the Dao Ancestor stage one after another. Each of them succeeded, becoming Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors.
Thus, the high-end strength of the Human Race increased significantly.
In the days that followed, more forbidden treasure lands emerged one after another within the Profound Void Archaic Realm. On several occasions, Ye Tian refrained from participating and instead allowed the Human Race’s True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors to compete for them.
Perhaps the various major forces had established some new rules, as the carnage had somewhat diminished. Nevertheless, whenever a forbidden treasure land appeared, no matter how much restraint was imposed, conflict could not be entirely avoided.
On the surface, an agreement had been reached: Dao Ancestors were forbidden from attacking True Ancestors unless a True Ancestor actively provoked a Dao Ancestor.
Without such restrictions, Dao Ancestors slaughtering True Ancestors en masse would leave True Ancestors with no chance to rise or grow.
…
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed.
One day, the Profound Void Archaic Realm had finally quieted down. However, in the Dark Forbidden Domain, not far from the Profound Void Archaic Realm, an unexpected change occurred.
