Chapter 1218: If You Don’t Help Me, I’ll Run!

TL: Etude

“How could this happen? Eleven lord-level forbidden insects!”

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity was in a panic. His strength was already inferior to that of Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity or Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, and he was far from being a match for a Half-Step Domain Ancestor like Palace Master Azure Dragon. Being able to contend with even one lord-level forbidden insect was a challenge for him.

But now, three lord-level forbidden insects were targeting him, with two hidden forbidden insects even stronger than him waiting to strike.

Shua! Shua! Shua! The three lord-level forbidden insects launched their assault, completely overwhelming Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity.

In no time, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity was injured, and even the forbidden weapon-level defensive armor he wore began to crack.

Once he lost the protection of his forbidden weapon-level armor, his situation would become unimaginably dire.

Suddenly.

One of the lord-level forbidden insects extended a long leg, piercing straight through Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity’s head. Although his head quickly regenerated, the attack had reached his soul sea, injuring his soul and leaving him with a splitting headache.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The cracks on the forbidden weapon-level armor grew wider. Though it could still absorb some of the incoming attacks, its defensive power was weakening over time.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity was gravely injured, his combat power significantly reduced, and his situation grew increasingly critical.

“Palace Master Azure Dragon! Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity! I can’t hold on any longer! If you don’t… send over your hidden Half-Step Domain Ancestor forces, I’ll have no choice but to retreat!” Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity transmitted his voice urgently.

While he couldn’t defeat three lord-level forbidden insects, he still had a chance of escaping.

Of course, he wouldn’t retreat unless it was absolutely necessary. If he did, the Dao Ancestors of the Limitless Sky Sect would be doomed, and the battlefront of the Dao Mountain Domain would undoubtedly collapse.

Even if the forbidden insects couldn’t breach the Profound Void Archaic Realm, the consequences would still be catastrophic.

At that point, however, he wouldn’t care anymore—after all, he didn’t intend to throw away his life.

In the distance.

Palace Master Azure Dragon and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity’s expressions changed. They wanted to support Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity but were unable to break free—they were entangled themselves.

Moreover, eight against eleven was already a disadvantageous situation for them.

“Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, hold on just a little longer!” Palace Master Azure Dragon transmitted his voice.

Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity also sent a message, urging Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity to persist for just a bit more—their intentions were clear.

“Fine, I’ll hold on a little longer!” Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity reluctantly agreed.

Although he was severely injured, he still possessed several life-saving items, so enduring a bit longer wasn’t impossible.

However, if he truly reached his limit, or if reinforcements from the Heavenly Emperor Palace and Blackwind Mountain delayed too long, he wouldn’t hesitate to retreat.

Time passed slowly. The battle tilted further in favor of the forbidden insects. Many Dao Ancestors had already fallen in battle. While numerous forbidden insects had also been slain, their growth rate far outpaced the Dao Ancestors.

The birth of a Dao Ancestor was an exceedingly slow process.

Thus, exchanging the life of a Dao Ancestor for that of a forbidden insect of the same tier was an unacceptable trade.

Suddenly.

In the distant void, spatial vibrations rippled as a figure emerged, drawing the attention of many Dao Ancestors.

Seeing this person, several Dao Ancestors rejoiced. It was a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, clad in the battle armor of Blackwind Mountain.

“Dao Ancestor Aged Gold, quickly aid Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity spoke.

“Alright!”

Dao Ancestor Aged Gold nodded, transforming into a streak of golden light that tore through the darkness of the Forbidden Void Realm. Arriving beside Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, Dao Ancestor Aged Gold took away one lord-level forbidden insect, heading to another battlefield.

“I…”

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity wanted to curse. He was already severely injured, so why didn’t Dao Ancestor Aged Gold take away two lord-level forbidden insects instead of just one? With two remaining, he still couldn’t handle it. However, he understood that the newcomer, a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, was at most marginally stronger than him. Facing two lord-level forbidden insects alone would lead to certain injury and eventual defeat. Even wrapping up two of them would be unsustainable over time.

This person had come to support, not to die.

If he were in the same position, he certainly wouldn’t have faced two lord-level forbidden insects alone either.

Now, all he could do was wait for the Half-Step Domain Ancestor from the Heavenly Emperor Palace to arrive.

It didn’t take long before the Half-Step Domain Ancestor from the Heavenly Emperor Palace arrived!

A piercing cry rang out as an ancient chaos vermillion bird descended. Its vast wings spread wide, resembling an entire chaos universe, ripping through the Forbidden Void Realm in an instant. A single strike of its radiant wing obliterated a multitude of forbidden insects.

The strength of this ancient chaos vermillion bird far surpassed that of an Invincible Dao Ancestor. It was also a Half-Step Domain Ancestor.

“Palace Master Vermillion Bird, stop showing off and transform into your human form for battle. This form isn’t suited for fighting lord-level forbidden insects!” Palace Master Azure Dragon said.

With a flash, the ancient chaos vermillion bird transformed into a person—a youth with an enigmatic visage. This was none other than Palace Master Vermillion Bird of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

“Palace Master Vermillion Bird? Wasn’t he declared dead?” Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor exclaimed in shock.

It was widely known that Palace Master Vermillion Bird had died in the battle of the Domain Realm. The Heavenly Emperor Palace was left with only three Palace Masters, the others having fallen in battle.

But unexpectedly, Palace Master Vermillion Bird was alive.

“Such deceit from the Heavenly Emperor Palace!”

The hearts of the various Half-Step Domain Ancestors were filled with suspicion.

After transforming into his human form, Palace Master Vermillion Bird also took away one lord-level forbidden insect, leaving Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity to deal with the weakest one. With this arrangement, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity could withstand the creature without being killed.

The battles among the Half-Step Domain Ancestors quickly reached a balance, with ten against eleven.

After some fighting, Palace Master Azure Dragon transmitted his thoughts to Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins: “Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, your spatial forbidden dao is powerful and even faster than mine. Transfer your lord-level forbidden insect to me; I’ll hold it off for a while. You go and assist Palace Master Vermillion Bird. Together, you two might be able to slay one lord-level forbidden insect!”

Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins frowned. “Palace Master Azure Dragon, even with Palace Master Vermillion Bird, we can’t kill one lord-level forbidden insect. Their survival abilities are incredibly strong and not so easily overcome! Besides, the creature Palace Master Vermillion Bird is fighting isn’t any weaker than me!”

“This time, we brought a Heavenly Emperor Artifact from the Heavenly Emperor Palace. It’s enough to suppress and kill one lord-level forbidden insect!” Palace Master Azure Dragon replied.

“A Heavenly Emperor Artifact? You’re really sparing no expense. Looks like you’re determined to kill one lord-level forbidden insect for research. Makes sense—lord-level forbidden insect corpses are immensely valuable. Their core origin contains a higher level of forbidden dao, far surpassing the worth of commander-level forbidden insects. Back in the Divine Heaven Domain, obtaining a Half-Step Domain Ancestor-level forbidden insect was almost a dream. No wonder you’re tempted!” Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins chuckled.

“Whether you’re willing to act or not is up to you. If you refuse, I’ll abandon the two lord-level forbidden insects I’m fighting and go assist Dao Ancestor Vermillion Bird directly.” Palace Master Azure Dragon’s tone carried a blatant threat.

“You win. I agree!” Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins relented.
