Dragon Ancestor was no fool; by now, he had realized that Han Xuanji was no pushover. Instead, he was clearly an extremely ancient and mysterious peerless Powerful Expert.
However, having already boarded the pirate ship, his nature would not allow him to defect in the middle of battle. At this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue fighting Han Xuanji.
"Fellow Daoist Dragon Ancestor, do not be anxious..." Seeing how capable Han Xuanji was in battle, Demon Ancestor could no longer sit still and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to soothe Dragon Ancestor.
At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart, thinking of how Dragon Ancestor had claimed he could easily handle this younger generation member from the Immortal Realm, yet now he was struggling so quickly.
The intervention of Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable was naturally within his expectations. But who could have known that this Han Xuanji would be so formidable?
He had already overestimated the opponent as much as possible, even going so far as to find a top expert like Dragon Ancestor to assist...
"Fellow Daoist Juntian, we cannot continue to sit by and watch..." Demon Ancestor turned his head to look at the silent Juntian Merchant Venerable beside him, completely unaware that the other party had almost sold him out.
"Hmm." Juntian Merchant Venerable replied with just a single word, still feeling somewhat troubled in his heart. He did not know if his decision was correct.
"Fellow Daoist Juntian, at this point, there is no need to hesitate any longer. Only by gathering the strength of the five of us, plus the entire Alliance, can we completely crush the opponent and break the stalemate."
Juntian Merchant Venerable's expression shifted slightly as his gaze swept across the battlefield—Han Xuanji stood composedly, his tower Magic Treasure blooming with seven-colored light, forcing Dragon Ancestor into a continuous retreat. The Aura of Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable was equally imposing, and the three of them—Dragon Ancestor and his allies—had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Demon Ancestor spoke the truth; only by joining forces now could there be a glimmer of hope to seize the secret of transcendence. If they hesitated any longer, not only would the Opportunity be lost, but they might even find it difficult to preserve their own lives.
A moment later, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Juntian Merchant Venerable's eyes, and his Aura surged violently. A primitive jade abacus appeared in his hand. As the abacus beads collided, they emitted a crisp sound, yet they contained the immense power of the Dao:
"Fellow Daoist Demon Ancestor is absolutely right. Since this cannot be resolved peacefully, then let us join forces and fight!"
"This brat Han Xuanji refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit; only by joining forces to slay him can we seize the secret of transcendence."
Before the words had even faded, Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable moved simultaneously. The two Limitless Primordial Experts at Perfection simultaneously launched their attacks, their Aura instantly shaking the entire Chaos.
One could see Devilish Qi gathering around Demon Ancestor, transforming into a demonic shadow billions of feet tall. The demonic shadow wore a black demonic robe and had a ferocious face, holding a pitch-black divine spear in its hand. The demonic spear was shrouded in an Aura of destruction. As soon as it appeared, it caused the Void Realm of Chaos to tremble violently, and countless chaotic air currents were corroded by the Devilish Qi, turning into nothingness.
This God-Slaying Spear was also a Magic Treasure at the level of great dao sacred artifacts, with astonishing power; many Limitless Primordial Experts had perished under the spear.
At the same time, Demon Ancestor threw out a tall, tower-shaped Magic Treasure, the Myriad Demon Tower, which was also a Magic Treasure at the level of great dao sacred artifacts. The tower's body was pitch black as ink and shrouded in chilling demonic might. As soon as it hovered in the Chaos, it released monstrous pressure, crushing towards Taishang Dao Venerable.
It must be said that Demon Ancestor's family wealth was relatively substantial, which allowed him to stir up trouble in the Chaos and command many Powerful Experts.
Juntian Merchant Venerable held the jade abacus and gave it a gentle shake. Countless abacus beads flew into the air, transforming into beams of brilliant golden light blades. The Origin power flowed upon the light blades, and each one was enough to severely injure a Limitless Primordial Expert.
The two top Powerful Experts attacked simultaneously, the power of the Demonic Path and the Merchant Dao intertwining to form an earth-shattering, immense Aura. This was not the end.
"Allies, follow us and attack together to seize the Opportunity for Transcendence!" Demon Ancestor's voice resounded through the Chaos like a thunderclap, reaching the ears of every Powerful Expert in the Immortal Extermination Alliance.
As the words fell, within the camp of the Immortal Extermination Alliance, over a hundred Hunyuan Wuji Experts moved at once!
Among them were the Dragon Clan Powerful Experts under Dragon Ancestor, with monstrous Dragon might, surrounded by various colors of Dragon Qi, and domineering Divine Abilities; there were also the experts from Juntian Merchant Venerable's Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance, each with condensed Aura, holding supreme treasures, skilled in joint attacks, their assault turning into a golden torrent crushing towards the Immortal Realm's defensive line; and there were countless Chaos Demon Gods who had followed Demon Ancestor for many years, with surging Devilish Qi, their eyes filled with fanaticism and greed.
In the Soul Clan camp, the Soul Clan Clan Chief was surrounded by gray mist, already prepared to attack. Just as he was about to leap out and join the battle, a cold voice transmission suddenly entered his mind:
"Do not attack, stand by and wait."
The Soul Clan Clan Chief's body froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes—the sender was none other than Soul Ancestor. He could not understand why Soul Ancestor would suddenly order them to remain still. After all, with the entire Immortal Extermination Alliance attacking, having one more Limitless Primordial Expert would mean a greater chance of victory.
Could it be that the Ancestor's intention was to betray them?
The Soul Clan Clan Chief thought for a moment and stopped his actions. He dared not question Soul Ancestor's command. Soul Ancestor was the absolute ruler of the Soul Clan, having held power for many years, his dignity inviolable. He had no choice but to obey unconditionally, not only slowly retracting his own power but also notifying the other Soul Clan Powerful Experts not to act rashly.
Even without the Soul Clan experts attacking, the Immortal Extermination Alliance had gathered nearly a hundred Limitless Primordial Experts. They attacked simultaneously, their Auras intertwining to form an earth-shattering, immense Aura. The Chaos Qi Sea churned madly, the Void Realm of Chaos was forcibly torn apart, and even the distant stars were tottering under this pressure. The battlefield situation was instantly pushed to the extreme, and the sense of oppression swept in all directions.
The original three-on-three stalemate seemed to reverse once again—five Limitless Primordial Experts at Perfection joined forces, plus numerous Limitless Primordial Experts assisting. This Aura far exceeded that of Han Xuanji and the other two, and the Chaos Qi Sea churned madly.
Taishang Dao Venerable's expression tightened slightly. He waved his whisk rapidly, the taiji diagram's rotation speed soared, and the Yin and Yang fish continuously devoured the power of the God-Slaying Spear.
Yuanshi Dao Venerable also looked grave. He waved his jade ruyi repeatedly, ten thousand rays of auspicious light continuously resisting Juntian Merchant Venerable's attacks. The auspicious light collided with the golden axes, emitting a deafening roar. His immortal charm was in disarray, and his Aura dipped slightly:
"Juntian Merchant Venerable is indeed a veteran Limitless Primordial Expert, not to be underestimated!"
Seeing this, Dragon Ancestor and Star Ancestor felt hope reignite in their eyes and both urged their full power.
"We can win!" Dragon Ancestor roared, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl releasing a sky full of purple-gold Dragon Qi.
Star Ancestor's starlight surged, and their combined powers intertwined, fiercely enveloping Han Xuanji and the other two.
The morale of the Immortal Realm's Cultivators, which had just ignited, was once again replaced by gravity. Even though many Limitless Primordial Experts from the Immortal Realm also attacked, such as the Celestial Emperor, Nirvana Dao Venerable, Dijiang, Golden Crow God Ancestor, Lingshan Buddha... their power seemed like a drop in the bucket.
Over at Xuantian Dao Palace, Li Taiqing, Jiang Hao, and the others were pale, clenching their fists tightly, their eyes filled with worry. No matter how much confidence they had in Han Xuanji, they were all feeling somewhat panicked now. This was over a hundred Hunyuan Wuji Experts; such a situation had never occurred in the history of Chaos. But they also knew clearly that they could not intervene in a duel of this level.
Within the crowd, Battle Intent also rose in Zhou Li's eyes, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Although my power may be insignificant, I cannot continue to watch from the sidelines..." Zhou Li had already stepped into the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm, and with the Fusion of his past life's memories as Lingxu Dao Venerable, plus these years at Xuantian Dao Palace, his Heart-Nature had quietly changed a lot.
