Chapter 164: Storming Haotian Holy Land, the Haotian Ancestor Awakens!

【After hearing that Zhuge Qing would be unable to break through in the short term, your heart immediately sank.】

【In the end, you could only hope that Zi You would break through to the Tribulation Realm as quickly as possible.】

【However, just how far your own combat strength had reached remained an unknown.】

【After obtaining the Blood Dragon Body talent, and especially after being strengthened by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence, your combat power had risen dramatically.】

【You were confident that below the Tribulation Realm, no one was your match. But above that, you did not know whether you could fight against Tribulation Realm mighty experts of the Lower Three Realms.】

【What you did know was that once one broke through from the Mahayana Realm to the Tribulation Realm, one would begin to come into contact with the Power of Laws.】

【And Tribulation Realm mighty experts of the Lower Three Realms all had only limited mastery over the Power of Laws. If you could grasp a certain degree of the Power of Laws yourself, then it was not entirely impossible for you to defeat them.】

【Within the Divine Power Heavenslaying that you cultivated, there was a trace of the True Intent of Destruction, and that True Intent of Destruction was itself a kind of Power of Laws.】

【The more you thought about it, the firmer your gaze became. At that moment, you made up your mind.】

【You decided to go to the Central Continent alone and storm the various Holy Lands.】

【You had no way to wait for Zi You to come out of seclusion and act together with her.】

【Time would not wait for anyone. While Zi You was growing stronger, the enemy was also growing stronger.】

【You told everyone your plan. Upon hearing it, they all looked at you in shock. They had not expected that you, only at the Mid Mahayana Realm, would actually be thinking of storming a Holy Land.】

【Even after Zhuge Qing and the others tried several times to persuade you otherwise, your decision did not change.】

【You knew the risks of doing this were enormous, but the possible rewards were equally great.】

【You were gambling—gambling that the old monsters in those Holy Lands could, at most, recover to the Lower Three Realms by relying on Essence Blood.】

【Even in the worst-case scenario, you still had the Protection of the Heavenly Dao and would be able to retreat unscathed.】

【As for the Teleportation Talisman, you had no intention of using it. In your view, that talisman was something even more important.】

【Seeing that your decision would not change, Zhuge Qing decided to accompany you and help share the pressure.】

【The moment Zhuge Qing said this, Qin Yang and the others also voiced their agreement.】

【After hearing their words, your heart warmed, but reason told you that this time, all of you could not go together.】

【You told everyone that Zi You was currently still in seclusion and needed someone to guard her, lest the people of the Four Great Aristocratic Families launch a surprise attack.】

【In the end, despite your strongest objections, only Qin Yang and Ye Chuxue insisted on going with you.】

【Left with no choice, you could only agree to let the two of them follow you to the Central Continent.】

【The next day!】

【You brought Qin Yang and Ye Chuxue onto the road to the Central Continent.】

【Your primary target this time was Haotian Holy Land.】

【You brought the two of them directly into the Endless Sea and began shuttling through it.】

【At the beginning of the twenty-fifth year, you brought the two of them to the vicinity of Tianxu.】

【Looking at the heavily guarded Haotian Holy Land not far away, Qin Yang was the first to speak.】

【“In a moment, I’ll take the lead and draw them out. If we run into a Tribulation Realm mighty expert, don’t hesitate—run immediately. We cannot defeat a Tribulation Realm mighty expert.”】

【Hearing this, you nodded, outwardly agreeing with Qin Yang’s words.】

【Immediately afterward, Qin Yang revealed a vicious expression and instantly charged toward Haotian Holy Land.】

【You saw that the Integration Realm disciples of Haotian Holy Land were completely no match for Qin Yang. In less than a moment, they were all dealt with by him.】

【Very soon, you sensed several powerful auras coming from the depths of Haotian Holy Land.】

【After exchanging a glance with Ye Chuxue, you quietly approached Haotian Holy Land and stopped not far from Qin Yang.】

【“Human, you are courting death!!!”】

【“Do you really think this is Youzhou? You actually dare come to my Haotian Holy Land and run wild here? Today, you will come but never leave!”】

【The moment those words fell, five Mahayana elders of Haotian Holy Land charged toward Qin Yang.】

【Qin Yang looked at the people before him with a grave expression, yet there was not the slightest fear in his heart.】

【“Heavenslaying!”】

【You used the Great Void Technique and joined the battlefield directly, instantly appearing behind several of Haotian Holy Land’s elders.】

【In an instant, Taixu Sword Intent carrying an aura of destruction swept toward them.】

【“There’s another one?”】

【When the several elders of Haotian Holy Land sensed the terrifying aura coming from behind them, expressions of horror immediately appeared on their faces.】

【The elder of Haotian Holy Land closest to you was instantly slain by your Heavenslaying. Fresh blood splashed across the faces of the others.】

【“Quick! Report to the Holy Lord!”】

【“Too late!”】

【A few breaths later, you had easily slaughtered all five of them.】

【Qin Yang looked at you in shock. He had not expected your combat power to be so terrifying, nor that you would kill five Mahayana experts of Haotian Holy Land so effortlessly.】

【In Qin Yang’s view, even if he fought with his full strength, taking on five at once would make it difficult for him to kill them all.】

【In contrast, when Ye Chuxue saw your display, there was not much change in her expression.】

【“Seeking death! Do you really think my Haotian Holy Land has no one left?”】

【In the next moment, the figure of the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land appeared in the sky, glaring at you with fury.】

【“Oh?”】

【“After that Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, how many Tribulation Realm mighty experts does your Haotian Holy Land still have?”】

【You looked at the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land before you and could not help asking in return.】

【“You...”】

【The Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land widened his eyes and stared at you in disbelief.】

【He had not expected that you would know such a thing.】

【After the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth had occurred, the several Holy Lands had agreed among themselves to completely seal off this information.】

【By all rights, it should have been impossible for you to know such a secret.】

【While you were killing those Haotian Holy Land elders just now, the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land had been hiding in the shadows and observing the whole time.】

【After witnessing your terrifying combat power, he knew full well that he was no match for you, so he had not recklessly charged at you.】

【“Hmph! Even if my Haotian Holy Land has only one Tribulation Realm mighty expert left, that is still not something a mere Mahayana wretch like you can insult!”】

【“Come forth, Ancestor!”】

【In the next moment, a pitch-black coffin flew out from the depths of Haotian Holy Land and shot straight to the front of the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land.】

【“Wretch, don’t tell me you thought that my Haotian Holy Land had no Tribulation Realm mighty experts, and that that was why you dared to storm in here so arrogantly?”】

【“Next, I will let you understand why my Haotian Holy Land is honored as a Holy Land, and what the foundation of a Holy Land truly means!”】

【As soon as those words fell, the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land condensed a drop of his own Essence Blood and then sent it into the pitch-black coffin before him.】

【“Come forth, Ancestor!”】

【Creak—】

【As the Holy Lord of Haotian Holy Land’s Essence Blood entered the coffin, you saw the lid of the pitch-black coffin begin to move slowly. Then a withered hand slowly stretched out from within and seized the coffin lid.】
