Chapter 362: Chapter 359: Defeat the Enemy with One Strike, Domineering Boundless
Above the high sky, at the crack in the World Barrier.
A translucent turtle shell phantom appeared around Gui Ling Ancestor.
On the phantom were countless mysterious runes ceaselessly rotating, transforming various defensive divine powers to resist the squeeze of the World Will and contend against the relentless assault of the blood-colored thunder.
At this moment, Gui Ling Ancestor stood tall and erect, his hair white with age, but no longer bearing the frail image of an old man, nor showing any signs of senility. His slightly slouched back was now ramrod straight, his large hands gripping the sides of the World Barrier’s crack, disregarding the frenzied strike of the World Will, and burst forth with incredibly powerful strength, forcibly prying the World Barrier apart.
His figure, casting down into the inner world, appeared to those powerful beings capable of seeing the World Barrier as monumental and towering like a Heavenly God.
“Ha!”
A soft shout issued from Gui Ling Ancestor, as an Innate Eight Diagrams phantom suddenly appeared on the translucent turtle shell, and with a spin of the Eight Diagrams, it immediately unleashed an immensely powerful force of laws, firmly fixing the countless blood-colored thunder within thousands of miles of the void.
Then he took advantage of the moment when the blood-colored thunder ceased, burst forth with his full body’s strength, and with a crack, he forcefully tore the crack in the World Barrier completely open, turning it into a massive gap several hundred feet in length and breadth, and then calmly stepped into the inner world.
Boom…
The World Will once again erupted with force, dispersing the law force that Gui Ling Ancestor had used to bind the blood-colored thunder, and endless thunder fell towards Gui Ling Ancestor.
But by then, Gui Ling Ancestor had already entered the inner world, and since he was not harmed by the blood-colored thunder even while he was pulling apart the World Barrier with a significant portion of his strength, let alone now that he was inside, without the drag of the World Barrier, the strength he could wield would only be stronger.
When he had endured this wave of attacks, the World Will realized it was impossible to annihilate this intruder who had forced his way into the inner world and could only reluctantly recede.
However, the World Will didn’t just do nothing, on the contrary, it did more than ever before.
A vast World Will descended upon those Demon Gods and some Demon Clan powerhouses, not only enhancing the strength of those Demon Gods but even causing several already near the realm of Demon Gods among the Demon Clan powerhouses to directly ascend, breaking through to become Demon Gods.
If it were not for Ning Wuxu and others, these great masters of the Primordial Spirit Realm among the Sect Cultivators each wielding formidable Magical Treasure Divine Powers, it really might have been possible for the newly ascended Demon Gods to crush the Cultivator Alliance’s army.
Nevertheless, Ning Wuxu and the others were ultimately only of the Primordial Spirit Realm, they could momentarily resist these new Demon Gods, but over time, they absolutely could not withstand them.
After all, there was a gap in the level of life and the disparity between the Heavenly Dao Laws between them and the Demon Gods.
Before becoming Immortals, whether Purple Mansion Cultivators or Dharma Image Realm Primordial Spirit Cultivators, although they had started to contact the Power of Laws and could use them to unleash more formidable Divine Power Magic, the Dao Principles they contacted at this time were insubstantial, only after achieving the status of Immortal Gods could they contact the real rules of Heavenly Dao.
And those Demon Gods, as they were within their own world, protected by the World Will, were able to draw more power from the rules, displaying even mightier combat strength.
Moreover, now that the World Will sensed a crisis, it had granted them even more authority over the Power of Rules, making these Demon Gods’ combat strength at least three times more formidable than before.
At this time, those exceptionally powerful Demon Gods battling Elder Heavenly Spider and the Five Ghost Kings emanated an especially intense Qi Fortune. If Elder Heavenly Spider and others were not formidable enough to dispel the ill fortune the World Will had imposed on them, they might have experienced setbacks at every turn in the clash with the Demon Gods, possibly even suffering significant injuries due to a minor mistake.
Clearly, the World Will had also gone somewhat mad because of Gui Ling Ancestor, a powerful figure who had single-handedly invaded the inner world.
However, no matter how crazed the World Will, in the face of the overwhelming strength of an Immortal Golden Immortal, all efforts were in vain.
When Gui Ling Ancestor’s figure appeared above the grand battlefield of the alliance, those newly ascended Demon Gods immediately ceased pressing Ning Wuxu and other Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators, turning to fly towards the Immortal Demon Battlefield.
With the arrival of Gui Ling Ancestor, the Cultivator side’s morale surged enormously, their fighting spirit soaring high.
On the contrary, the morale of the Demon Clan’s army was severely low, and many of its stronger members were terrified and fearful upon sensing an aura from Gui Ling Ancestor that resembled the heavenly might.
Fortunately, Gui Ling Ancestor, holding onto his identity, did not condescend to strike down those who hadn’t yet achieved the status of Demon Gods. Thus, he merely flew over the area where both sides were clashing, incidentally scaring away a few newly advanced Demon Gods.
“Ancestor is invincible!”
Suddenly, an Elder from the Beast Taming Sect within the Inner Sect cried out, his voice resonating and spreading across the entire battlefield.
This shout instantly ignited the spirit of cultivators from all alliances, who also began chanting loudly.
“Ancestor is invincible!”
“Ancestor is invincible!”
“Ancestor is invincible!”
The waves of voices grew one after another, vibrating across the airspace of the battlefield, not only dispelling the negative effects brought by the World Will but also intensifying the killing intent and battle fervor of all cultivators!
Although the Demon Clan’s army slightly relaxed after seeing Gui Ling Ancestor flying away, their mood did not improve at all.
At that moment, hearing the roaring of the cultivators, their spirits became even more restless.
In fact, when the various powerful beings of the Demon Realm saw Gui Ling Ancestor breaking through the world’s barrier and entering, they had already guessed the fate that awaited them, knowing very well that their side was likely to face a great defeat.
But what could they do?
Unless they surrendered to the Human Clan, they had no choice but to continue fighting reluctantly.
After all, with so many Demon Gods still in battle and not completely defeated, they couldn’t possibly retreat.
However, the fighting spirit of the Demon Clan’s army was extremely negative, particularly among the stronger beings in the army who were no longer focused on killing the enemy but on how to save themselves. Many were even quietly contemplating their escape routes.
On the other side, as Gui Ling Ancestor’s figure appeared at the edge of the Immortal Demon Battlefield, the Supreme Elders of various sects immediately became excited.
“Hahaha…”
While fighting a Demon God, Fiery Fire Ancestor burst into a hearty laugh, “Congratulations to Daoist Fellow Gui Ling on proving Dao immortality, achieving the status of Golden Immortal. From now on, Daoist Brother can live as long as heaven and earth, truly enviable for all of us.”
“Congratulations to Daoist Fellow Gui Ling on proving Dao Golden Immortal!”
“Congratulations to Senior Gui Ling on proving Dao Golden Immortal!”
Supreme Elders from various sects voiced their congratulations.
Some of the longer-lived immortals among them had known Gui Ling Ancestor from a very long time ago, hence referring to each other as Daoist Fellow. However, the later Supreme Elders who achieved Immortal Dao from smaller sects like the Fog Hidden Sect, which was founded only a few millennia ago, could only address Gui Ling Ancestor as Senior.
After all, not only was Gui Ling Ancestor tens of thousands of years their senior, but his cultivation and strength were also far more formidable than theirs, daring not to regard themselves as equals.
“Hehe, you’re too kind, Fiery Fire Daoist Fellow. You all are too kind,” Gui Ling Ancestor responded.
Gui Ling Ancestor managed a slight smile.
Although he was thrilled about his breakthrough to becoming an Immortal Golden Immortal, he was ultimately a being of superior wisdom and stable temperament, and quickly suppressed the joy in his heart, “Daoist Fellows, now that I have successfully advanced, this expedition will come to a complete end. From now on, our Sect will need mutual support, and I hope you will all put forth more effort in the future.”
“The Ancestor is too kind.”
A Supreme Elder from a minor sect quickly spoke up, flattering, “All our sects have been friends with the Beast Taming Sect for many years. Now that we are allied with the Beast Taming Sect, we will definitely advance and push forward together in the future. I hope the Ancestor will guide us more, so that we can keep up with the Beast Taming Sect’s pace.”
“Yes, indeed!”
Many other Supreme Elders from various sects chimed in, “This expedition to the Red Flame Demon Realm with the Beast Taming Sect has brought many benefits to our sects. Now that Senior Gui Ling has ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Beast Taming Sect’s foundation is solid. With the resources from this realm, its strength will surely soar. We will need to rely even more on the Beast Taming Sect’s care in the future.”
Clearly, these Supreme Elders were well aware of the gap between their own sects and the Beast Taming Sect.
Some small sects had only one individual who had achieved the Immortal Dao. Even the Fiery Fire Sect, led by Fiery Fire Ancestor, only had five or six Immortals. Honestly, if it weren’t for the need of the Beast Taming Sect to have more lower-ranking cultivators as enforcers, aside from the Ghost Controlling Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, these sects would not qualify to ally with the Beast Taming Sect for an expedition.
Now that Gui Ling Ancestor had successfully advanced, the power of the Beast Taming Sect had greatly increased. If they did not seize the opportunity to cling to this power, in the long run, their own strength would not only fail to improve significantly; it would likely be surpassed by other sects.
Amidst an increasingly prosperous cultivation world, as more sects decided to venture into the Void realms to plunder resources, mid to small sized sects that lacked the strength to venture into other realms alone would either band together for warmth or rely on the larger sects, joining in their conquests in other realms.
Although they were weak and would suffer heavy losses in the wars, as long as they ultimately emerged victorious, the benefits would outweigh the losses, and they would also be able to raise more disciples.
Furthermore, the war had just passed its initial stage. The Cultivator Alliance had just captured a large territory and was just beginning to deploy forces to contest this territory, locking in a deadlock. They had prepared for a large portion of their disciples to be sacrificed, yet with the Proving Dao of Gui Ling Ancestor, the war was swiftly brought to its final battle.
After this battle, they would be in a completely advantageous position and win the victory. Moreover, the losses of most mid to small sects were not too severe, which was a huge gain for them.
If they didn’t choose to gather around the Beast Taming Sect in the future, but instead chose to give up the alliance, that would be irrational.
Therefore, when Gui Ling Ancestor expressed his intention to maintain the alliance, the Supreme Elders from various sects naturally had no objections and supported his statement.
Even Fiery Fire Ancestor nodded in agreement, indicating that they would follow the lead of the Beast Taming Sect in the future.
Fiery Fire Ancestor was very self-aware. Not to mention that he had not yet advanced to Immortal Golden Immortal, even if he had, his wisdom could not match Gui Ling Ancestor. Rather than recklessly suffering losses alone, it was better to act together with the Beast Taming Sect. As long as the Beast Taming Sect didn’t betray him, the Fiery Fire Sect would also benefit and become stronger.
Moreover, after Gui Ling Ancestor’s advancement, his ability to deduce heavenly secrets would certainly become even more formidable. Fiery Fire Ancestor also hoped to seek guidance from Gui Ling Ancestor, to help him break through his own Cultivation Realm.
As for the Five Poisons Sect and the Ghost Controlling Sect, there was no need to say more.
They had been allies of the Beast Taming Sect for years, supporting each other since the Ancient Great Tribulation, facing enemies together multiple times, and their relationship was close. There were no concerns about going their separate ways.
Seeing that everyone was expressing their support, Gui Ling Ancestor had achieved the effect he expected and laughed heartily, “Very well, haha, now that I have ascended to Immortal Golden Immortal, I would like to find an opponent to test my skills. Daoist Fellow Fiery Fire, please step back and let me handle your opponent.”
With that, he stepped into the void, flying towards where Fiery Fire Ancestor was.
Choosing to deal with Fiery Fire Ancestor first was also a way to win over the heart of this ancestor and firmly bind Fiery Fire Ancestor onto the chariot of the Beast Taming Sect.
After all, Fiery Fire Ancestor still had potential. With his horizons broadened after battling in foreign realms, he might suddenly have a revelation and achieve Immortal Golden Immortal status, at which time he would be a great help.
“Alright!”
Fiery Fire Ancestor quickly agreed and backed off with a wave of his hand, “I’m eager to witness the abilities of an Immortal Golden Immortal.”
“Hehe, then Daoist Fellow, watch closely.”
Gui Ling Ancestor chuckled lightly and had already approached. He raised his palm and struck toward the Demon God opposite him.
In an instant, a palm the size of ten thousand feet emerged, its lines transforming into countless runes embodying infinite oppressive power, bearing tremendous might as it pressed down towards the Demon God.
Phew!
Before the giant hand even arrived, the fierce Gang Wind had already caused the Demon God’s cloak to flutter and his hair to scatter.
Feeling the enormous might of the giant hand above him, the Demon God’s face turned ugly.
However, at this moment, his strength boosted by the Heavenly Dao Will, reached a peak akin to that of a Profound Immortal. Though he felt he might be no match for his opponent, he believed he could at least hold him off for a while.
If during this time the other Demon Gods could severely injure a few of their opponents, they could potentially restore their original standoff situation.
With this in mind, the Demon God roared loudly, his broad, double-bladed battle axe violently slashing through the air, producing a tremendously powerful Demonic Qi light blade aiming at the giant palm above.
He aimed to shatter the giant palm above, then entangle his opponent, preventing the one called Gui Ling Ancestor from dealing with the less powerful Demon Gods.
But soon, his expression changed.
Because the giant axe’s light blade had only briefly hindered the giant hand above before being completely shattered by it.
In shock and planning to flee, the Demon God suddenly saw the runes in the palm above change, and then felt the space around him tighten as he was bound by the opponent’s spatial seal, trapped completely.
Unless the Demon God broke the spatial seal, he would have to directly withstand Gui Ling Ancestor’s palm strike.
With both shock and anger in his heart, he still didn’t believe his formidable strength would not withstand a single strike from his opponent.
So he roared once more, his body surging with Demonic Qi, preparing to withstand the palm strike.
When the palm finally fell, the Demon God finally confirmed that he really could not block the opposing palm strike. With a resounding bang, the Demon God’s body fell and was directly smacked into the ground by Gui Ling Ancestor.
A thunderous boom followed; the ground trembled, unveiling a giant palm imprint ten thousand feet in diameter.
And the Demon God lay there, spitting blood, his face a mix of bewilderment and terror.
It was only when he truly collided with Gui Ling Ancestor’s palm that he experienced the might of an Immortal Realm powerhouse.
Unlike the usual Immortal Realm powerhouses in the Void Ten Thousand Realms, Gui Ling Ancestor was an Immortal Dao Cultivator, proficient in countless secret techniques, not someone ordinary Demon Gods could contend against.
On his outstretched palm, countless runes flickered unpredictably, evolving myriad forms: the instant it came into contact with the Demon God’s power, it deduced all the Demon God’s weaknesses, smacking him into severe injury with a single palm strike.
Instantly, all the Demon Gods were struck with fear and awe!
