Chapter 1241: Dao Ancestor Goldsage Gravely Injured!
TL: Etude
Dao Ancestor Starbell’s body remained motionless, and all traces of life had completely dissipated.
Dao Ancestor Starbell had fallen! Outside the isolated island, many Dao Ancestors were filled with terror.
Dao Ancestor Starbell’s previous sneak attacks on numerous Dao Ancestors had been despicable, but even with so many Dao Ancestors and a horde of forbidden bloodline creatures, none could offset the Great Terror. In the end, even Dao Ancestor Starbell himself was slain.
Dao Ancestor Starbell wasn’t merely a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor; he was an Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, and among Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, he was considered quite powerful! A Pinnacle Dao Ancestor of such strength couldn’t be killed in one strike, not even by an ordinary Invincible Dao Ancestor. At least two moves would have been required to take him down.
Yet, in the face of the Great Terror, he was struck down in a single blow without any chance to resist. Even if Dao Ancestor Starbell’s strength were several times greater, the result would likely have been the same.
The area became bustling with activity as one Pinnacle Dao Ancestor after another, and even Invincible Dao Ancestors, descended upon the scene.
Ye Tian also arrived, summoned by a Dao Ancestor of the Human Race who informed him of the strange occurrences here.
“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”
“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”
Several Dao Ancestors greeted Ye Tian.
Among them were several Dao Ancestors with whom Ye Tian was on relatively familiar terms, such as the Fire King, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire, and Dao Ancestor Profound Wind.
Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire spoke, “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, the forbidden supreme treasure that has appeared this time is no ordinary item!”
“Does Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire know the specifics of the situation?” Ye Tian asked.
Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire replied, “The Great Terror unleashed by this forbidden supreme treasure is unimaginably terrifying. Anyone who tries to claim it will perish, even Pinnacle Dao Ancestors cannot escape their fate.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Terror only attacks those who touch the forbidden supreme treasure, leaving others unharmed. But this time is different. Any Dao Ancestor who enters the island’s vicinity, even standing still, will be unable to escape if someone triggers the Great Terror.
Right now, no one dares to set foot on the island. If someone deliberately touches the forbidden supreme treasure, we’ll all die! From what I understand about the Great Terror, it’s primarily due to the unique nature of this forbidden supreme treasure connected to a treasure within the Dark Forbidden Domain. The forbidden lifeform guarding the treasure is incredibly powerful. It can project a significant portion of its strength across countless territories within the Dark Forbidden Domain, even attacking autonomously.”
“A forbidden lifeform capable of projecting significant power…” Ye Tian also recognized the gravity of the situation.
Of course, if one had no interest in the forbidden supreme treasure, there would be no danger, as the Great Terror’s force could not extend beyond the isolated island.
However, who wouldn’t desire such a forbidden supreme treasure? As time passed, more Invincible Dao Ancestors and Pinnacle Dao Ancestors gathered here, yet none dared to rashly provoke the Great Terror.
After all, they had only one life. Once they fell, no one could bring them back.
“I’ll go. I refuse to believe that mere terror can kill an Invincible Dao Ancestor!”
A voice rang out, drawing everyone’s attention. It was Dao Ancestor Goldsage of Vajra City—an Invincible Dao Ancestor! Back when he was a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Goldsage was already renowned for his indestructible body. Though he wasn’t as strong as Flame Ancestor or Dao Ancestor Blackguard, his combat power was considerable. Now that he had advanced to Invincible Dao Ancestor, his combat strength was average among his peers, but his defense and survival abilities were top-tier.
Thus, he had immense confidence in his ability to stay alive.
While others hesitated to step forward, Dao Ancestor Goldsage believed he could withstand the Great Terror and easily claim the forbidden supreme treasure.
“Dao Ancestor Goldsage, you’ve got guts. Rest assured, if you truly endure the Great Terror, I won’t steal your forbidden supreme treasure!” An Invincible Dao Ancestor spoke.
Immediately, several other Invincible Dao Ancestors expressed that they would not attempt to seize the forbidden supreme treasure. However, a significant number of Invincible Dao Ancestors remained silent.
Dao Ancestor Goldsage didn’t mind. Even if an Invincible Dao Ancestor tried to snatch it from him, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.
He was supremely confident in his ability to escape.
With a swish, Dao Ancestor Goldsage stepped onto the isolated island, approaching the black wooden object. Gazing at the projection of the giant roc, his expression grew serious.
“Go!”
Dao Ancestor Goldsage threw out numerous forbidden bloodline creatures he had captured earlier. After all, even Invincible Dao Ancestors couldn’t easily withstand the Great Terror unleashed by a forbidden supreme treasure, so they often captured forbidden bloodline creatures to serve as bait. Dao Ancestor Goldsage had no shortage of such creatures at his disposal.
He hurled around a few hundred forbidden bloodline creatures to trigger the Great Terror linked to the black wooden object.
Boom! The Great Terror was activated.
Puff, puff, puff! The forbidden bloodline creatures exploded one after another, perishing instantly. Then, a claw of the giant roc projection extended toward Dao Ancestor Goldsage with blinding speed. A suppressive force descended upon him, making it almost impossible for him to move.
Slash! A horrifying force struck Dao Ancestor Goldsage, continuously tearing through his body and even wounding his soul.
“This is bad!”
Dao Ancestor Goldsage was alarmed, fully aware that if he didn’t flee immediately, he wouldn’t survive.
He quickly activated a life-saving artifact to forcibly break free from the suppression and retreated to the outskirts of the isolated island. The Great Terror’s attack ceased once he left the island.
Outside the island, Dao Ancestor Goldsage’s supposedly invincible body continued to crack and heal. He coughed blood incessantly, his internal world on the brink of collapse, and his soul severely injured. His wounds were grievous, and he could only exert less than twenty percent of his combat strength.
Seeing this, many Invincible Dao Ancestors were horrified.
Dao Ancestor Goldsage, with his unparalleled defensive and survival capabilities, had ended up in such a pitiful state. Ordinary Invincible Dao Ancestors wouldn’t even survive a single strike. If Dao Ancestor Goldsage hadn’t escaped in time, he would have died.
This made it clear that even top-tier Invincible Dao Ancestors couldn’t withstand such Great Terror. Only Half-Step Domain Ancestors might have the strength to counter it.
However, no Half-Step Domain Ancestors had come this time. A mere large-scale Forbidden Void Realm wasn’t enough to attract their attention.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm was rich with opportunities, and Half-Step Domain Ancestors had likely acquired numerous treasures there. They were focused on cultivating and increasing their strength, unwilling to waste time unless the opportunity was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, the Dao Ancestors present were reluctant to notify the Half-Step Domain Ancestors. Otherwise, there would be no chance left for them.
“How about this: we gather enough forbidden bloodline creatures and jointly trigger the Great Terror. I don’t believe its power is truly inexhaustible. Once the Great Terror is depleted, we can then fairly decide who gets the forbidden supreme treasure. What do you think?” Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire proposed.
“That’s a good idea!”
“I agree!”
“Agreed!”
Many Invincible Dao Ancestors voiced their approval. However, only a few Pinnacle Dao Ancestors responded, as their strength was insufficient, and they dared not take such risks.
