Just like that, while Han Xuanji controlled his supreme treasures to suppress the two, he continuously wore down their strength. The resistance of the Dragon Ancestor and Star Ancestor grew weaker, their auras became increasingly erratic, and the despair in their eyes deepened as even their strength to struggle gradually drained away.
After an unknown amount of time, the Dragon Ancestor's Ancestral Dragon Pearl completely dimmed, and the Star Ancestor's Chaos Main Stars shattered one after another. Both were covered in wounds, their Origins exhausted, and they could no longer hold on. Before the power of the great dao pagoda, they completely lost the ability to resist.
With a flick of his finger, Han Xuanji caused the great dao pagoda to slowly descend. A seven-colored divine light enveloped the two, pinning them down firmly before drawing them into the great dao pagoda, completely cutting off any possibility of struggle.
Thus, the two Limitless Primordial Perfection experts, the Dragon Ancestor and the Star Ancestor, were completely suppressed by Han Xuanji, joining the Time-Space Dao Ancestor.
Han Xuanji raised his hand to stow away the great dao pagoda and slowly turned his gaze toward the other side of the battlefield, his brow twitching slightly.
He saw that the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable had gone completely mad. Their eyes were blood-red, and the auras around them were violent to the extreme. They did not hesitate to burn all their remaining Origin, turning into two violent streaks of light that crashed frantically against the barrier set up by the Immortal Ancestor and the others.
At this moment, the two had lost all reason, their minds filled only with the desire to break through and escape. Their extreme will to survive catalyzed an astonishing power, causing the barrier to tremble slightly as faint cracks began to emerge. For a moment, they truly found a slight chance to break through.
"Don't even think about it!"
The Immortal Ancestor's expression froze, his aura surging as his hands formed seals. The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe grew massive, and with a single strike, it seemed as if the entire Chaos would be split open by him.
The Supreme Divine Venerable also no longer held back, slashing his divine sword through the air. Rays of divine light, like sharp blades, continuously bombarded the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable, forcefully suppressing their offensive and giving them no opening whatsoever.
Even though the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable were giving their all, none of the other four faltered. They also exerted their full strength to lock down all escape routes, absolutely refusing to give the opponents any chance of fleeing.
Seeing this, Han Xuanji delayed no longer.
With a flash of his body, he instantly appeared at the center of the battlefield. Several supreme treasures emerged once more; the great dao pagoda hovered above his head, the chaos bell tolled loudly, and a majestic, matchless power swept out, blasting toward the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable.
With Han Xuanji's support, the situation reversed instantly.
Han Xuanji's power was already at a near-crushing level. Now that he had joined the encirclement, the resistance of the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable instantly became pale and weak.
The tolling of the chaos bell caused their Divine Souls to fracture, and the pressure from the great dao pagoda made their movements sluggish. In just a few breaths, the two were completely suppressed. Their violent auras gradually withered, and their injuries became so severe that they no longer had the strength to crash against the barrier.
With a flick of his finger, Han Xuanji caused the great dao pagoda to shoot out two beams of divine light, enveloping the Demon Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable respectively. He bound them tightly and drew them into the pagoda to be suppressed alongside the Dragon Ancestor and Star Ancestor, completely cutting off all their possibilities of resistance.
As the dust settled, Han Xuanji turned and cupped his hands to the Immortal Ancestor and the Supreme Divine Venerable, his tone respectful:
"Thank you, two Seniors, for your assistance. Had you not blocked them today, I fear these two might have escaped."
The Immortal Ancestor smiled faintly, his tone gentle:
"Xuanji, you are too polite. Protecting the Immortal Realm is my duty. Moreover, being able to completely eliminate these two great threats today was entirely due to your strength.
At such a young age, you possess such Heaven-Defying combat power. In the future, you will surely surpass me and reach an even higher Realm."
The Supreme Divine Venerable also put away his divine sword, his eyes full of admiration:
"Young Friend Xuantian, there is no need for modesty. Your strength has already far surpassed all the Powerful Experts in Chaos. It is an honor for me to be able to help.
If you have any needs in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to assist."
Standing in the Chaos, the several of them spoke in peaceful tones and enjoyed their conversation. There was no trace of the aloofness typical of top-tier experts, only the hearty satisfaction of heroes appreciating one another.
To the side, the Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable also breathed a long sigh of relief, their faces filled with hearty smiles.
"Splendid! Truly splendid!"
The Taishang Dao Venerable stroked his beard and said loudly,
"This Demon Ancestor has been a lingering shadow for many years, incredibly difficult to deal with. Firstly, he rarely uses his true self, and secondly, he has thousands of Dharma Images, ever-changing and unpredictable. In the past, even when we exerted all our strength, we could only repel him and were unable to defeat him completely. Today, he is finally suppressed, which removes a major concern from our hearts!"
Yuanshi Dao Venerable also nodded in agreement, though his tone carried a hint of concern:
"However, this Demon Ancestor is cunning and always has a backup plan. Although we suppressed his true self today, we do not know if he has left behind other Clones or contingencies. If he makes a comeback in the future, he will still be a hidden danger."
Hearing this, the Taishang Dao Venerable's expression also turned solemn as he nodded slightly:
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is correct. This is indeed something we must guard against."
Seeing this, Han Xuanji smiled faintly:
"Two Seniors, there is no need to worry. The Demon Ancestor's true self has been suppressed by me within the great dao pagoda. The power of the Great Dao inside the pagoda will wear down his Origin day and night. Within ten thousand years, he will experience complete Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
As for his Clones and backup plans, I will investigate them one by one and will certainly not give them a chance to return."
He had naturally thought of this long ago. This fellow, the Demon Ancestor, had many life-saving methods and likely anticipated a situation where his true self met with an accident.
Each of his Dharma Image Clones had the ability to stage a comeback.
But as long as the few of them were on guard, they naturally didn't fear any small tricks the Demon Ancestor might have.
Moreover, he was proficient in the Way of Destiny. By spending a bit of time and relying on his Transcendence-level Soul strength, it would be enough to completely wipe out this hidden danger.
Hearing Han Xuanji's words, the concerns in the hearts of the Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable instantly dissipated, and they cupped their hands one after another:
"With those words from Fellow Daoist Xuantian, we can rest easy!"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly. With a thought, his Divine Thought swept across the surrounding Chaos, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
From beginning to end, he had been watching for the aura of the will of chaos, but even after the battle ended, he had not felt the slightest sign of the will of chaos awakening.
It seemed this fellow was still in a very deep sleep. As long as no one attempted Transcendence, it would likely be difficult to disturb it. This could be considered a stroke of good fortune.
After all, the will of chaos represented the entire Chaos, and its power was not to be underestimated. It was naturally better not to face it prematurely.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the people of the Immortal Realm had already begun to boil with excitement.
