Hey there fam, Nyt_city here. Y'all know I hate leaving my readers on cliffhangers during epic battles, so I will be releasing the entire fight. But this would negatively impact further updates since depending on the number of chapters containing the fight scenes there would be no updates for some days.
-----------------------------------------------
Am I too strong now?
Han Xuanji thought to himself; in the past, he had always fought overwhelming battles, so he didn't have a clear concept of his own strength.
Although he had faced top-tier Powerful Experts within Chaos in the simulations, his cultivation then was certainly far inferior to what it was now.
"Sigh."
Han Xuanji withdrew his palm, his robes still fluttering, unstained by a speck of dust, as he said indifferently:
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Ancestor, that palm strike of yours actually helped me stretch my muscles a bit."
"Not bad, not bad."
These words were spoken lightly, but in the ears of the countless Powerful Experts of the Immortal Extermination Alliance, they carried a different meaning.
Stretching his muscles?
Facing a full-power blow from the Dragon Ancestor, and it was just stretching his muscles?
Star Ancestor's expression darkened, and he immediately spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Ancestor, this brat is strange. You must not underestimate the enemy!"
"Do you need my help?"
With that, he raised his hand and beckoned, and a vast sea of stars appeared above his head—it was not an illusory projection, but the manifestation of the Origin of the thirty-six real Chaos Main Stars!
Each main star represented a complete Origin Great Dao. At this moment, they operated in unison, releasing terrifying starlight capable of obliterating Limitless Primordial Powerful Experts.
As long as the Dragon Ancestor spoke, Star Ancestor would take action to deal with Han Xuanji together.
"Junior, you're looking for death!"
Dragon Ancestor ignored Star Ancestor, clearly enraged by Han Xuanji's words. He considered himself at least one of the top three individuals in Chaos, and never expected to be so belittled by a junior.
The dignity of a Powerful Expert made him unwilling to join forces.
"Since you don't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth, I will let you witness my true power!"
Dragon Ancestor sacrificed his life-bound treasure—the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. It was a Chaos Supreme Treasure born alongside him, nurtured for countless years, and its grade was not at all inferior to the level of great dao sacred artifacts. In his hands, it was capable of erupting with power far exceeding a Sacred Artifact.
"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl! Lord Dragon Ancestor actually sacrificed his life-bound treasure!"
Within the Immortal Extermination Alliance, a Dragon Clan Powerful Expert cried out in shock, eyes filled with awe.
The fame of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl had long circulated in Chaos. Dragon Ancestor had used it to suppress countless Powerful Experts, earning it a solid reputation.
Dragon Ancestor pointed his finger, and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl instantly expanded, growing to ten thousand zhang in size and floating within Chaos. Purple-gold light illuminated hundreds of millions of miles as countless Dragon shadows surged from the pearl, letting out ear-shattering Dragon roars that resonated with Dragon Ancestor's aura, increasing his prestige by another thirty percent.
"Junior, die!"
Dragon Ancestor formed hand seals and chanted. The Ancestral Dragon Pearl rotated violently, and countless streaks of purple-gold Dragon Qi gathered into a pillar of light that pierced the heavens. Carrying the power to tear through Chaos and suppress everything, it charged straight at Han Xuanji.
This strike fused the treasure power of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl with all of Dragon Ancestor's Origin. Its power was much more formidable than the previous Ancestral Dragon Heaven-Capturing Hand. Even a figure of the Immortal Ancestor's level would need to go all out to withstand it.
Facing this unstoppable strike, Han Xuanji's expression remained indifferent.
As if he was the only one with a treasure.
Han Xuanji stopped playing around. A light flashed in his palm, and a simple, unadorned pagoda slowly emerged.
The pagoda was not large, seemingly only about a zhang high, made of an unknown material. Its surface was covered with dense Great Dao Runes, each flowing with an endless Great Dao Origin. Despite its small size, it emitted a majestic pressure that suppressed the heavens and governed the Dao. As soon as it appeared, even the purple-gold light of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was suppressed.
This was exactly the great dao pagoda Han Xuanji had signed in for at the Sea of Great Dao Origin. It was a supreme treasure nurtured by this source of the Dao, possessing infinite power.
With a flick of Han Xuanji's finger, the great dao pagoda instantly expanded into a tower ten million zhang high, floating before him. The runes on the tower flashed, and all nine levels operated simultaneously, releasing a vast Dao power that formed an incredibly sturdy barrier in front of him.
Boom!
The purple-gold Dragon Qi pillar slammed violently into the barrier of the great dao pagoda, producing a deafening roar that shook Chaos. Terrifying energy shockwaves swept in all directions, tearing through countless pockets of Chaos space. Yet, the great dao pagoda remained as steady as Mount Tai. The runes on the tower flowed, absorbing and neutralizing all of the Dragon Ancestor's power, and even released a majestic Dao pressure in reverse, grinding toward the Dragon Ancestor.
Dragon Ancestor's pupils shrank. Filled with disbelief, he retreated continuously for an unknown distance. The powerful counter-shock caused a large amount of golden blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, and the Dragon Qi around him became somewhat turbulent.
He could clearly feel that the power released by the Ancestral Dragon Pearl had been easily neutralized by the opponent's treasure. This was a feeling he had never experienced in his countless years traversing Chaos.
"This... what kind of treasure is this?"
Dragon Ancestor stared fixedly at the high tower, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of greed, his voice trembling slightly.
The Dragon Clan was naturally obsessed with treasures, let alone something like the great dao pagoda that far surpassed a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
He could feel that the grade of the great dao pagoda far exceeded his Ancestral Dragon Pearl, and the Dao power it contained was unfathomable. If he could seize this supreme treasure, even without the Dao Ancestor's secret of transcendence, he could use this item to take another step forward.
Dragon Ancestor secretly calculated: as long as he could seize the great dao pagoda, it seemed worthwhile even if he didn't get that illusory method of Transcendence.
But he also knew that since even a full-power strike from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl couldn't shake the opponent in the slightest, seizing the great dao pagoda would be extremely difficult.
Before long, as Han Xuanji began to counterattack, a massive pressure like Mount Tai pressing down struck. Dragon Ancestor's expression grew increasingly solemn, and fine beads of sweat even broke out on his forehead. The hand he used to drive the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was trembling slightly.
Demon Ancestor saw all of this and furrowed his brows deeply. He could clearly feel that Dragon Ancestor was already at a disadvantage. If the stalemate continued, Dragon Ancestor would undoubtedly lose.
Once Dragon Ancestor was defeated, the morale of the Immortal Extermination Alliance would plummet, and losing Dragon Ancestor would be extremely detrimental to the upcoming battles.
Although Star Ancestor also felt disbelief that Dragon Ancestor appeared so pathetic against Han Xuanji, he was secretly laughing inside.
Previously, he had kindly wanted to give Dragon Ancestor a hand, but he didn't expect the other party to be ungrateful.
Now look, can't hold on?
