Chapter 1239: The Crisis of the War God Tower!
TL: Etude
Palace Master Dragon Shadow gave a slight nod and promptly dismissed the other Palace Masters.
Afterward, Palace Master Dragon Shadow did not continue his cultivation. He had cultivated for far too long, and his very Dao Heart had nearly encountered problems. Thus, he needed to relax and recuperate.
Palace Master Dragon Shadow becoming a Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor did not stir the outside world. In fact, the world outside was completely unaware that the Heavenly Emperor Palace had someone like Palace Master Dragon Shadow among its ranks.
As time passed, more and more forbidden supreme treasures were born in the Profound Void Archaic Realm. However, no new small Forbidden Void Realms emerged. Only seven or eight medium Forbidden Void Realms had appeared one after another.
These Forbidden Void Realms were almost entirely divided between the Heavenly Emperor Palace and Blackwind Mountain. The other three Ninth Heaven forces were unable to seize any of them.
…
As time went on, more Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors emerged within the Profound Void Archaic Realm.
Previously, it had been exceedingly difficult for a Dao Ancestor to condense the Dark Forbidden Power. But now, many treasures could enable Dao Ancestors to obtain Dark Forbidden Power. Blackwind Mountain and the Heavenly Emperor Palace both possessed several such treasures, and even the three Ninth Heaven forces and some Eighth Heaven forces could cultivate a few Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.
In the past, a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor had an extraordinarily high status, almost as if they were the rulers of the Profound Void Archaic Realm. But now, they had become far more commonplace.
Without the strength of an Invincible Dao Ancestor, one didn’t even dare to act arrogantly.
After all, as more and more powerful individuals emerged in the Profound Void Archaic Realm—even Half-Step Domain Ancestors appeared frequently—forces without an Invincible Dao Ancestor or a large number of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors to hold the fort could be wiped out at any moment.
During this era, many forces that had only Ordinary Dao Ancestors or a few Second or Third Heaven Dao Ancestors to oversee them were annihilated one by one.
For instance, if a forbidden treasure land appeared near a certain force, that force might cease to exist by the next day.
One day.
A forbidden treasure land appeared near the War God Tower’s territory, and it was a large forbidden treasure land.
The value of a large forbidden treasure land paled in comparison to a Forbidden Void Realm, but it still attracted many Dao Ancestors.
After all, such a large forbidden treasure land would at least give birth to ten or so forbidden supreme treasures and a large number of forbidden wondrous objects. No one could resist the allure of forbidden wondrous objects and forbidden supreme treasures. Some of these treasures were of such high value that they could even provide significant assistance to Invincible Dao Ancestors.
More crucially, this forbidden treasure land was too close to the War God Tower.
Even if the War God Tower’s members wanted to evacuate now, it was too late. Other forces would suspect that the War God Tower had taken the more precious forbidden supreme treasures and wouldn’t allow them to leave.
Of course, the main reason was that the War God Tower was simply too weak.
The War God Tower had already been relatively weak in the past. They hadn’t gained any benefits during the Forbidden Insect Race incident or from the Darkwing Roc Eagle, nor had they participated in the battles for the Forbidden Void Realms. As a result, their strength had grown at a slow pace.
Currently, the War God Tower possessed only one Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor, a few dozen Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestors, and around three hundred other Dao Ancestors. While this was many times stronger than in the past, it was still far too weak by the Profound Void Archaic Realm’s standards, barely qualifying as a Fifth Heaven force.
At this moment.
The War God Tower was shrouded in despair. They had already sensed numerous figures approaching, including Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors and even Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.
“Tower Master, we should request the protection of the War Heaven Sect!” suggested a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.
“It’s useless!” the War God Tower Master replied in despair. “Even if the War Heaven Sect helps us—we may have pledged allegiance to them—but the War Heaven Sect is only an Eighth Heaven force. They have yet to produce a single Invincible Dao Ancestor. They wouldn’t dare protect us. If they were to protect us, their losses would be devastating, and they wouldn’t be foolish enough to take that risk!”
At this moment.
A group of Dao Ancestors descended upon the Battle Heaven Sect. They were a group of Sixth and Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, who did not immediately enter the large forbidden treasure land. Instead, they intended to extract benefits from the War God Tower, and some even planned to capture a few Dao Ancestors to later use as bait to draw out a Great Terror.
There was no other choice; weakness meant this was inevitable—unable to control one’s own fate.
“Everyone, our War God Tower truly has not entered that large forbidden treasure land nor obtained any treasures from it!” The Tower Master of the War God Tower hastily explained.
In truth, the Dao Ancestors of the War God Tower had indeed ventured into that large forbidden treasure land and had acquired many forbidden wondrous objects. However, the Tower Master had quickly ordered those Dao Ancestors to withdraw.
Yet he dared not disclose any of this to these Dao Ancestors.
“Hmph! How long ago was this large forbidden treasure land born? We wouldn’t know. For all we know, it could’ve appeared long before, and you’ve already taken out all the good things!” A Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor said coldly.
As the Tower Master of the War God Tower was about to explain further, the group of Dao Ancestors acted directly. They had no patience for idle words. For them, time was precious and could not be wasted on the War God Tower.
Boom! The attack of a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor slammed into the protective sect formation of the War God Tower. However, this formation could only withstand the strikes of Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors. While it barely managed to block the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor’s attack, it could only withstand a single strike.
Following this single blow, the protective formation of the War God Tower began to crack.
The other Dao Ancestors joined in, quickly shattering the protective formation entirely.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
The Tower Master of the War God Tower burned all his blood and soul, unleashing a desperate strike comparable to a full-strength attack of a Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor. He charged at the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor.
However, it was all in vain.
With just one punch, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor annihilated the Tower Master. The gap in strength between them was insurmountable, not even on the same level.
The Tower Master of the War God Tower fell!
“Tower Master!”
The Dao Ancestors and True Ancestors of the War God Tower cried out in despair.
These Dao Ancestors did not kill the members of the War God Tower but instead aimed to capture them. With ease, they subdued the Dao Ancestors one by one, imprisoning them within their internal worlds.
Among the many Dao Ancestors of the War God Tower, Dao Ancestor Yun Zi was among the stronger ones. Due to her good fortune and high potential, she had reached the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Realm, making her one of the most prominent Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestors of the War God Tower. She was even seen as a future candidate to lead the War God Tower.
Yet now, she too was targeted by a Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor. The opponent manifested a colossal hand that surged toward her. The power behind it far exceeded anything she could have imagined, and her full-force attacks could not shake the incoming assault.
“It’s over!” Dao Ancestor Yun Zi despaired.
But just then, a long spear pierced through the body of the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor targeting her.
In the void, one by one, powerful Sixth and Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors were pierced by long spears.
In the blink of an eye, all the invading Dao Ancestors who had come for the War God Tower were obliterated.
A figure appeared, stepping forward to stand before Dao Ancestor Yun Zi, smiling.
“Dao Ancestor Yun Zi, it’s been a while!”
Dao Ancestor Yun Zi stared at the familiar face before her, stunned. “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”
