While thinking this, the Star Ancestor suddenly felt a cold gaze. He turned to look and saw the Demon Ancestor watching him, nodding slightly to signal for his assistance.
The Demon Ancestor was also shocked; he hadn't expected Han Xuanji to be so capable in a fight.
Was this a joke? Even among the five of them, the Dragon Ancestor's strength could be considered the most formidable in combat; even he wouldn't dare claim a certain victory against him.
Yet Han Xuanji appeared to be handling it with ease, the implications of which were self-evident. However, since the battle had already begun, there was naturally no possibility of backing down.
The Demon Ancestor knew clearly in his heart that the Dragon Ancestor could not lose—at least, not now.
The Star Ancestor snorted coldly. He had wanted to watch the Dragon Ancestor make a fool of himself a bit longer, but he also knew the gravity of the situation.
"Hmph, in the end, it still requires this seat to take action."
Meanwhile, the previously arrogant atmosphere among the Cultivators of the Immortal Extermination Alliance had instantly died down.
"Am I seeing things? Is Lord Dragon Ancestor... about to lose?"
"Impossible. Lord Dragon Ancestor is merely showing weakness to bait the enemy."
A Dragon Clan Cultivator frowned, unable to believe what he was seeing, and said stubbornly:
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
On the other side, the morale of the Immortal Realm's faction soared.
On the defensive line, Han Xuanji's Disciples' eyes lit up one by one. Disregarding their current status, they all raised their arms and cheered like children:
"Master is mighty!"
Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing shock and pleasant surprise.
Taishang Dao Venerable stroked his beard and remarked with emotion:
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian's strength has indeed far exceeded our expectations. Even with the Dragon Ancestor attacking with full force, he can do nothing to him."
The Immortal Ancestor remained calm with a shallow smile, his gaze falling on Han Xuanji with even greater gratification, as if he had long since anticipated this outcome.
But this excitement did not last long. In the next second, two terrifyingly powerful auras suddenly erupted from the Immortal Extermination Alliance's camp, instantly drowning out all sound in the Chaos and causing the entire Chaos to tremble violently. The cheers from the Immortal Realm's side came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone's gaze focused instantly as they saw two great experts, the Star Ancestor and the Soul Ancestor, move simultaneously!
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Ancestor, today we shall join forces to suppress this lad!"
The Star Ancestor took a deep breath as Star Power surged around him. The thirty-six Chaos Primal Stars originally floating above his head suddenly blazed with light, and the power of the Star Origin surged frantically. Each primal star released infinite starlight, which intertwined and wound together to transform into a vast and boundless sea of stars, enveloping the entire Chaos.
Within the sea of stars, stellar orbits rotated, stars rose and fell, and countless rays of starlight converged, instantly transforming into a Star Blade that was ivory-white throughout and flowing with stellar patterns.
Although the Star Ancestor was enjoying the Dragon Ancestor's embarrassment, he also recognized Han Xuanji's power.
This Star Blade was also a treasure at the level of a great dao sacred artifacts with staggering power; it was the key to the Star Ancestor being invincible throughout the sea of stars.
And it wasn't just the Star Ancestor who acted; the Soul Ancestor moved as well.
The Demon Ancestor also stopped pretending.
Since they had already dropped all pretenses and were outnumbering the opponent, they naturally had to be more secure.
No matter how powerful you, Han Xuanji, are, could you possibly fight three at once?
The Soul Ancestor's figure vanished as waves of gray mist spread frantically, instantly filling hundreds of millions of miles of the Chaos Void Realm and merging with the Star Ancestor's starlight. Countless shrill soul wails rang out, causing hearts to quail and Divine Souls to tremble.
Countless pitch-black Soul Fires emerged from the gray mist. Wherever the Soul Fires passed, the Chaos Qi was completely corroded away, emitting a chilling aura.
Two Limitless Primordial Perfection powerhouses attacked simultaneously. Two distinct yet equally terrifying Dao powers intertwined, forming a world-destroying, majestic force capable of crushing everything as it lunged fiercely toward Han Xuanji.
This pressure was so strong that it was significantly more powerful than when the Dragon Ancestor had attacked with full force just now, causing the faces of the Immortal Realm's Cultivators to change instantly. The morale that had just been ignited was once again replaced by gravity.
No one had expected the battle to progress so quickly. Even the Limitless Primordial level experts couldn't help but step back slightly, staring at the battlefield with tense expressions.
The auras around Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable tightened again, their bodies leaning forward slightly as they prepared to provide support at any moment.
Yuanshi Dao Venerable said in a heavy tone:
"Dammit, three Limitless Primordial Perfection powerhouses have joined forces. Senior Brother, prepare to act!"
The situation changed in an instant. Three Limitless Primordial Perfection powerhouses joined forces with heaven-shaking might, causing the Chaos to vibrate.
[Star Ancestor: Limitless Primordial Perfection, Lord of the Star Realm, Chaos Innate Spirit, Chaos' First Star God, in control of the thirty-six Chaos Star Origins.]
[Hun Qianling (Soul Ancestor): Limitless Primordial Perfection, creator of the Soul Clan, Reincarnation of an Eternal Dao Lord. In her previous life, she was a Dao Lord level powerhouse on the Eternal Continent. She died after being attacked by a Primordial Chaos Spirit in the Hongmeng Sea, with only a wisp of a remnant soul escaping into the Chaos. Her memories of her past life are incomplete, but her strength is extremely great, far exceeding ordinary Limitless Primordial Perfection. She is somewhat interested in your Origins and suspects you might be of her kind.]
The Star Ancestor and the Dragon Ancestor were powerhouses of roughly the same level.
But the Soul Ancestor's background gave Han Xuanji quite a shock.
"Reincarnation of an Eternal Dao Lord?"
Han Xuanji hadn't expected the famous Soul Ancestor to have such a significant background.
But it made sense. She was also a powerhouse born in this chaos epoch who had grown at an extremely fast pace, not at all inferior to the Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Realm.
Originally, Han Xuanji had only considered her someone like a Chaos Chosen, but he hadn't expected her to be a powerhouse from beyond the Chaos.
Could the so-called Eternal Dao Lord be the Realm above Limitless Primordial?
Han Xuanji felt it was very likely. Even as just a remnant soul without complete memories, she could quickly grow to Limitless Primordial Perfection, only one step away from Transcendence.
Furthermore, in the System's evaluation, the Soul Ancestor was described as having extremely great strength; perhaps although she wasn't the most famous, she was the strongest among these few people.
"Does she think I'm also someone from beyond the Chaos?"
Han Xuanji stood beneath the great dao pagoda, his robes fluttering, his expression calm.
Even while dealing with the attacks of three people simultaneously, he was still handling it with ease and could leisurely ponder this question.
It was obvious that the Soul Ancestor was also suppressing her power and hadn't used her full strength; the attack she launched was even a notch weaker than those of the Dragon Ancestor and the Star Ancestor.
This was likely an attempt to test him.
This information hadn't appeared in the previous simulations.
"It seems that choosing not to join forces with Juntian Merchant Venerable this time has made the course of events completely different..."
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji also felt some admiration for Juntian Merchant Venerable; as a veteran of the Chaos, his connections were indeed broad, being able to directly pull in so many powerhouses.
However, he still only wanted to say one thing.
Is that all?
It was at this moment that Juntian Merchant Venerable appeared.
He was in no hurry to act, but instead quietly observed the battle, his brow slightly furrowed.
As one of the true controllers of the Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance, Juntian Merchant Venerable had always avoided fighting battles he wasn't sure of winning.
He possessed a Great Dao Supreme Treasure—the Heavenly Secret Plate—which could seek luck and avoid calamity, as well as deduce the future. It was precisely by relying on this treasure that he was able to rise from humble beginnings and reach his current position step by step.
But right now, the results of the Heavenly Secret Plate's deduction made him feel uneasy.
Because the deduction showed that this battle... was fraught with grim prospects.
"Just what trump cards does this Xuantian Dao Venerable have?"
Juntian Merchant Venerable pondered inwardly.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about directly taking action and joining forces with the Dragon Ancestor, the Star Ancestor, and the Soul Ancestor to suppress Han Xuanji four against one.
But the warning from the Heavenly Secret Plate made him hesitate.
After a moment, Juntian Merchant Venerable made a decision.
He quietly sent a message to Han Xuanji using a special method:
"Fellow Daoist Han, might we have a word?"
Han Xuanji's brow twitched slightly; it was a transmission from Juntian Merchant Venerable.
He was in the middle of a passionate one-versus-three; why was the man sending him a private message now?
What did he mean by this?
