Chapter 276 Ancestral Kings Arrive and Tribulation Appears
"Humanity... has gained another saint?"
The Emperor's son stood at the edge of the high platform, surrounded by nine divine halos, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield like lightning.
"Judging from this aura and blood... it is undoubtedly the sacred body of the human race."
"A sacred body that has achieved sainthood, that's interesting!"
"No, that's not right." The saint behind him squinted, observing closely, his tone grave. "This vigorous blood energy is mixed with an endless sense of decay; it's a puppet. But the one who can drive this saintly puppet must also be a saint!"
"It's him?!" The Heavenly Prince's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his voice turning icy cold. "Go and kill him!" This Son of God had already placed Ye Fan at the top of his kill list. And now, this lowly commoner dared to stand in front of his chosen Daoist partner—this was not only a provocation, but a blasphemy!
Before the sage behind him could even move,
"Chong-"
A clear, resounding dragon's roar tore through the sky!
A bolt of blood-red lightning descended from the sky, tearing through the heavens like a crimson river pouring down. It pierced the center of the Tongtian Platform, blocking Ye Fan and unleashing a blinding crimson light!
It was a dragon spear, its entire body as red as blood, with a coiled phantom of a dragon coiled around its shaft. As the dragon's head pulsed, a section of the crimson spearhead shone with a chilling light, terrifying the soul!
Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in the void—
A queen descends, her body stained with blood.
Her skin was as healthy as wheat, her figure tall and athletic, her red hair danced like flames, and even her eyes gleamed with a blood-red light. She lightly gripped the dragon spear in her left hand, her right hand behind her back. With each step she took, a blood lotus appeared in the void, and her killing intent swept across the entire area like a tidal wave!
"The Blood Lightning Ancestor King has also arrived!" an ancient clan elder exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with undisguised awe.
"What a powerful human race." A cold sneer suddenly came from the void.
A bronze figure slowly stepped forward, the Great Dao resonating around him, each step seemingly calculating the laws of heaven and earth. He wore ancient battle armor, his face was cold and stern, and his eyes held the flickering of stars—he was none other than the renowned Tai Ming Ancestor King from the Primordial Era!
Before anyone could react—
Boom!!!
The eastern sky suddenly brightened!
A figure emerged with the rising sun, dazzling and radiant, as if stepping out from the newborn sun. He was surrounded by a divine halo, radiating golden light, each ray containing supreme power, his sacred aura soaring to the heavens!
"This is... Ancestral King Haoyang!" A knowledgeable member of the ancient clan exclaimed in a trembling voice, "The ruthless man who single-handedly suppressed the seven forbidden zones during the Primordial Era!"
The sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
On the Tongtian Platform, one terrifying figure after another appeared. The twenty-one holy bodies exuded an aura that could collapse the heavens and earth for eternity, making all the cultivators present feel their hearts tremble with fear!
"The Twenty-One Saints have descended upon the world..." Duan De's face turned pale as he murmured, "This is a huge problem."
King Teng Qing, dressed in a bronze legendary battle armor, said calmly, "He has not gone far on the path of sainthood, but he has the combat power to rival us saint kings. Those who become saints in this era are indeed extraordinary."
"You are a hero of your generation, yet you single-handedly fought against all races..."
King Haoyang stood atop the high platform, his divine light radiating like the blazing sun, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime. His voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable authority, "Ultimately, it's unrealistic."
Zixia gently pulled Ye Fan back, her fingertips trembling almost imperceptibly.
In just a few breaths, she had forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi within her body and returned to her peak condition.
“So many ancient kings…” She looked around, and the twenty-one holy bodies pressed down like twenty-one divine mountains, making it difficult to even breathe. “They are truly awe-inspiring.”
The Blood Lightning Ancestor King stepped forward, her red hair as crimson as blood, a dragon spear in her hand, and a murderous aura solidified into a tangible blood mist that swirled around her. Her voice was deep yet carried a deadly allure:
"To do something that is known to be impossible is to be both brave and foolish."
Are you sure you want to die like this?
"I'll give you a chance too." Zixia suddenly smiled, a resolute curve appearing on her lips. "If you retreat now, you might still be able to escape unscathed." The entire audience erupted in uproar!
How could she fight against so many ancestral kings all by herself?!
Everyone was stunned. This was a certain death situation with no hope of survival, yet she made this choice, almost as if she were going to her death.
"You overestimate your abilities! Do you really think you're a quasi-emperor? How dare you utter such words! You'd better all take action and eliminate her as soon as possible!"
Below the stage, Black King suddenly looked up, his dog eyes gleaming with a sharp light!
Ji Zi made her move at the same time, and an ancient chessboard appeared in her palm - it was made entirely of Western Emperor's Tear Gold, and its surface was engraved with mysterious patterns, each of which flowed with the laws of space!
"A void chessboard?!" Ancestral King Haoyang's pupils shrank sharply. "Humans! How dare you scheme against us!"
But it was too late. Himeko bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the chessboard!
"Void Teleportation, activate!"
Om-!
The entire Tongtian Platform was instantly enveloped in a silver light curtain!
Space was suddenly torn apart!
Zixia froze, and along with the twenty-one ancient clan saints, they were all forcibly swallowed and swept away by the terrifying silver vortex! Only Ye Fan was deliberately left behind.
In the depths of the boundless universe, a wisp of silver flame floats silently, as brilliant as the heart of a galaxy, overshadowing all the stars in the sky.
This place is a void interlayer, with broken laws and distorted space all around, resembling an ancient battlefield abandoned by heaven and earth.
"You!" The Fire Kirin Cave Saint was furious, pointing directly at Zixia, "This is the Void Emperor's forbidden artifact! Your human race is so ruthless! Don't think that my ancient race only has a few saints like us!"
"What's the point of wasting words with her!" The Blood Lightning Ancestral King's Dragon Spear trembled, its crimson killing intent solidifying into a tangible form. "Directly refine her soul and force her to reveal her return coordinates!"
This was all part of a scheme orchestrated by Zixia, Jizi, and the Black Emperor—to lure away as many saints as possible, leaving the rest to others. Zixia had done all she could.
"Everyone, let's ascend to immortality together!"
As Zixia finished speaking, the deliberately disguised mysterious aura that was wrapped around her shattered, and the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns imprinted on her soul and body were completely ignited and obliterated by her own divine power.
She slowly stretched her body, opened her heart, and looked up at the vast sky. Standing alone in the twisted and broken void, she was resolute and her presence reflected in the vast starry sky.
"boom--!!"
At that very moment, divine punishment descended!
Its ferocity far exceeded imagination, its brilliance shattered the divine soul, as if billions of stars collapsed and fell at the same time, and endless divine radiance of the heavens poured down, completely submerging the entire void interlayer!
Zixia, the twenty-one ancient clan saints... all their figures vanished in an instant, swallowed whole by this world-destroying sea of light.
The entire star field was completely buried by divine light; as far as the eye could see, there was only endless, dazzling white light, and not a single human figure remained.
The ancient king Teng Qing and the other saints widened their eyes, their pupils reflecting the boundless sea of lightning—
If their heavenly tribulations far surpassed those of ordinary saints, they were like countless galaxies falling and converging into a vast ocean, blotting out the sky and the sun.
Zixia's heavenly tribulation was simply a series of vast oceans crashing down upon her!
It's not a fall, it's an overturning! It's not streaks of lightning, it's the entire universe collapsing!
"Are you kidding me?!" A weaker ancient king screamed in agony, blue blood gushing from his seven orifices. "Is this still a heavenly tribulation?! The entire universe has been buried, are you trying to kill us?! There's nowhere to escape!"
Before the words were finished—
Boom!!!
The Nine Heavens Palace exploded with a deafening roar!
Billions of golden lightning bolts poured down like a cataclysmic flood, each strike containing the power to cleave the heavens and the earth.
Those saintly kings who had suppressed countless ages were as insignificant as ants before such divine might!
"Suppress your cultivation level! Get away from here!" Ancestral King Haoyang roared, his divine halo crumbling inch by inch. "Her heavenly tribulation will affect us. Once the lightning tribulations combine, none of us will be able to escape!"
