Chapter 576 - 551: I Want to Kill, Who Can Stop Me?

A middle-aged man in a purple robe, with purple hair casually tied with a purple ribbon, appeared out of nowhere, unseen by anyone.

Even the Ghost Emperor himself had not seen him clearly.

After the purple-robed man made his presence known, he struck upward with his right palm, hitting the spear’s glow. With a clanging sound, the spear’s light scattered and dissipated into brilliance.

Effortless and insouciant, he made the difficult seem easy.

True One!

Many people’s hearts shook violently.

Only someone at the True One State could block a strike from the Dragon Alliance Master so effortlessly.

Moreover, it was not a distant attack, but his True Body that descended.

"Ancestor, it’s the Ancestor!"

Among the audience, members of the Divine Clan exclaimed with excitement.

"The Holy Ancestor of the Divine Clan."

A good number of beings in the third step of creation also recognized the true identity of the man in the purple robe.

The Divine Clan’s eldest Ancestor, the strongest among them, the only one in the True One State, the Holy Ancestor.

"The Holy Ancestor."

The Ghost Emperor, having narrowly escaped death, was overjoyed.

With the Holy Ancestor present, Lu Ming could not kill him.

The Holy Ancestor stood calmly with hands clasped behind his back, watching the giant face in the sky, and spoke lightly, "Lu Ming, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky. Attacked by several True Ones in the vast starry sky, wounded and fleeing into the Chaos Void, you still managed to come out alive."

"I’ve disappointed you."

The giant face replied.

The Holy Ancestor remained silent but stood tall and unmoving as a mountain.

"Today, I’m set on taking the Ghost Emperor’s life. Will you stop me?"

The giant face spoke again.

"The Ghost Emperor is among the top powerhouses of the Origin Continent. Now, as we stand against the boundless starry sky, how can we kill our great general first?"

The Holy Ancestor stated.

"A Dao Ancestor of the third step of creation actually intervenes in a duel between juniors, breaking the rules. If everyone starts to act so capriciously, there would be no place for the juniors to grow. He has broken the rules and must pay the price. Today, he must die."

The giant face declared.

"With me here, you cannot kill him."

The Holy Ancestor, after a moment of silence, continued to speak.

"Is that so?"

In the eyes of the giant face, light blazed brightly, but in the next moment, the face shattered with a bang.

As the giant face crumbled, a speck of light appeared in the void.

The light was not nearby, but rather in a place, exceedingly far away.

The next moment, the speck of light suddenly brightened, tearing apart the void, and creating a massive spatial rift in the sky.

It was only then that people could see clearly that the speck of light was a point of spear glow.

The spear glow naturally came from a long spear, held by a tall figure’s hand.

It was a young man in a black robe, his black hair casually draped behind him. Holding a spear in one hand, he stood within the Chaotic Void, distant yet exuding an aura of supreme authority, as if he could trample everything beneath his feet.

"The Master of the Dragon Alliance."

Many hearts pounded, including Lu Yan’s.

This was a true legend, an embodiment of mythic tales.

The rumors about this ultimate powerhouse were too numerous to count.

Now, he had finally revealed his True Body.

"Shen Shengyi, I want to tell you that no one can save a person that I, Lu Ming, intend to kill."

The clear voice filled with immense confidence came across from the other end of the void, and in the moment it finished, he and his spear became one, transforming into a spear glow that thrust forward.

As the spear glow emerged, all else lost its color.

The laws of the Doctrine ceased to appear, infinity condensed.

The spear glow became the only thing in the world.

At first, the spear glow seemed infinitely far, but with a flash, it pierced through the void and crossed the immense distance to arrive up close.

The countenance of the Holy Ancestor turned grave.

A halo of ninety-nine divine lights radiated from behind his head.

In his hands, a disk with saw-like edges appeared, emitting a terrifying aura.

The Supreme Treasure, the Sacred Wheel.

With a push of his palm, the Holy Ancestor sent the whirling Sacred Wheel flying towards Lu Ming.

Clang!

The two attacks collided inside the spatial rift, creating an immeasurable storm.

Hum!

The next moment, the Sacred Wheel vibrated violently and flew back, caught in the hands of the Holy Ancestor.

After seizing the Sacred Wheel, the Holy Ancestor’s complexion changed, his body trembled, and he involuntarily started to drift backward.

The next instant, Lu Ming’s figure broke through the void and stood above the Ghost Emperor.

He swept a cold glance at the Ghost Emperor, flicked his finger, and a spear glow shot out, heading straight for the Ghost Emperor.

"No..."

The Ghost Emperor roared, trying to flee, but felt his entire body locked down by a terrifying force. Despite his power, he couldn’t move at all.

Even his Primordial Spirit couldn’t escape.

Thwack!

The spear glow impaled the Ghost Emperor, who then exploded, his form and spirit utterly destroyed.

The Ghost Emperor was dead.

Many spectators gasped in shock.

A top powerhouse at the third step of creation, a world-renowned overlord considered immortal, was just killed like that.

And it was effortless, like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

"Is the gap between the third step of creation and the True One State really so vast?"

A young prodigy spoke up, his voice trembling slightly.

"The gap between the third step of creating and the True One State is naturally immense, impossible to overcome..."

A powerful being at the third step of creating spoke up, but as his gaze swept over Emperor Qing, Tang Feng, and the Ancestor of All Magics, he stopped, unable to continue.

"I have said, no one can stop the person I, Lu Ming, want to kill."

Lu Ming watched the Holy Ancestor calmly.

Anger surged tumultuously in the eyes of the Holy Ancestor.

Lu Ming was openly slapping his face in front of everyone.

"Lu Ming, you slaughtered our commanding general, what are your intentions? I have reason to suspect that you’re helping the Boundless Starry Sky."

The Holy Ancestor said in a cold voice.

"Lu Ming, you killed the Ghost Emperor, if you do not give me an explanation today, it will be a fight to the death between us."

The Dark Emperor roared furiously.

He had not expected Lu Ming to be so decisive, so mad, to dare to kill the Ghost Emperor in public.

This was at the third step of creating, and the Three Emperors Alliance also had only two.

For the Three Emperors Alliance, this was an unbearable loss.

"Devouring Demon Pot."

The Dark Emperor howled, and from between his eyebrows, a demon pot flew out.

The demon pot was utterly black, like a black hole, devouring all light.

It was a Supreme Treasure.

The Devouring Demon Pot grew rapidly in size, pressing down and greatly increasing the pressure on Lu Yan, Tang Feng, Emperor Qing, and the Ancestor of All Magics.

Fortunately, all three of them wielded Supreme Treasures and managed to resist with great effort by fully activating them.

"Dark Emperor, a fight to the death with me? You are not yet qualified."

Lu Ming spoke, his voice still filled with immense confidence even in the face of a True One.

"Lu Ming, you remain as arrogant as ever, but today, you must give an explanation."

A stern voice rang out, not from the Dark Emperor, nor from the Holy Ancestor.

It came from the distant void.

But as the voice fell, a towering figure had already appeared not far from the Holy Ancestor, forming a pincer with him — a powerful aura already locking onto Lu Ming.

This was a man of immense stature, standing at a full five meters tall, with eyes that were dominant and fierce, making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze directly.

"Immortal Ancestor!"

"The Immortal Ancestor has come."

From a distance, the people of the Immortal Clan exclaimed in surprise, their faces showing delight.

Yet another True One.

Many felt their bodies tremble, their hearts pounding rapidly.

In normal days, the True One State existed only in rumors, rarely seen, but today, they emerged one after another.

How many True Ones were there in the entire Origin Continent?

Barely a dozen, but today, four appeared one after another.

"Old fellow, you finally couldn’t restrain yourself? What now? Going to take action again, not afraid of losing another Supreme Treasure?"

Lu Ming glanced at the Immortal Ancestor with a smile that was not a smile, the disdain in his words clear to anyone.

"Lu Yan, by killing our commanding general on your own, we have ample reason to suspect that you have colluded with the Boundless Starry Sky, and even that you have secretly surrendered to them. Today, we must capture you to investigate thoroughly."

"This is not a personal grudge; it concerns the life and death of the entire Origin Continent. There is no need to speak of rules, Shensheng brother, let’s join hands."

The Immortal Ancestor said.

"It’s exactly what I desire."

Shen Shengming nodded, surrounded by divine rings, exuding holiness, with the wheel of holiness in his hands spinning rapidly, emitting a terrifying aura. He fiercely launched it towards Lu Yan.

Meanwhile, the body of the Immortal Ancestor changed rapidly, transforming into a nine-headed Qilin.

The true form of the Immortal Ancestor was that of a Nine-headed Qilin, one of the ancient True Beasts.

It is said that the most ancient ancestors of most races are True Beasts.

True Beasts are the oldest races in the world.

Later in their evolutionary development, True Beasts diverged into various branches.

Among the countless True Beasts, as two beasts grew and cultivated, they underwent a metamorphosis, giving birth to a special power known as immortal power.

These two beasts became the progenitors of the Immortal Ancestor.

This is the origin of the Immortal Ancestor and the Primordial Spirit of the Dao Book.

"Lu Ming, over the years you have bestowed Supreme Treasures to your subordinates, and now you lack a Supreme Treasure, unable to form the Supreme Seven-Star Array. Let’s see how strong you really are."

The Immortal Ancestor roared, the nine heads howled, and each head spat out a mighty offensive technique attacking Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled lightly, raising his left hand slightly, imbuing a force onto Lu Yan, the Formation Ancestor, and the Time-space Spiritual Mouse. In the next moment, they had already appeared billions of miles away.

In his right hand, the long spear hummed, the heavens and the earth moved with it as he thrust, producing a splendorous spear light.

Boom! Boom!...

The three beings in the True One State were at their zenith. In an instant, they had already exchanged a series of ten moves.

After those ten moves, Lu Ming’s figure remained erect, standing still in his original spot, unmoved.

But the attacks from the Immortal Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor were all completely blocked.

"Lu Ming, you..."

The Immortal Ancestor was shocked.

Because Lu Ming’s strength was clearly stronger than when he had last battled with him.

But how was that possible?

The True One State was already the limit.

A being in the True One State had reached the limit in every aspect, almost without weaknesses, strong beyond enhancement.

After reaching the True One State, it was extremely difficult for combat power to increase any further.

But Lu Ming had obviously taken another step forward from a hundred strides.

This was simply inconceivable.

"Relying on external objects will never last; only one’s self can be truly invincible. I knew this truth a long time ago,"

"So, the Supreme Seven-Star Array was something I deliberately abandoned."

Lu Ming spoke calmly, taking a step that thundered the heavens and the earth, and shook the laws of the Doctrine. His entire being radiated an unstoppable aura, one that pierces through all.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lu Ming launched two strikes, beginning to turn defense into offense.
