Chapter 384: The Ancestors' Madness

The eight overlords waited calmly.

Among the Nine Emperors of the Innate Source Life camp, ‘Primordial’ and ‘Mother of Spacetime’ were included solely due to their immortality; their offensive capabilities were only average to below average among the Ancestors. The other seven, however, possessed terrifying strength.

“They’ve arrived.”

At this moment, the eight overlords were poised for battle.

Across the entire Infinite Source Space, beings of similar standing watched from afar.

“Boom—”

Suddenly, the always-serene Primordial Ancestor erupted in blinding light, an endless radiance enveloping an immense area! Thirty-five Ancestors simultaneously appeared within the illuminated zone.

The Ancestors who had been concealed also revealed themselves.

A total of one hundred and five Ancestors had fully gathered!

Excluding a select few newly ascended Ancestors, those who refused orders, and Ancestors with severe injuries... the remaining force had fully assembled. Led by the Nine Emperors, precisely one hundred and five Ancestors converged here.

“Annihilate the cultivator overlords!

“Destroy them!”

This time, the Innate Source Life camp had already formulated a plan. The moment they assembled, they unleashed their full, furious power without reservation! The peak-level forces wielded by each of the one hundred and five Ancestors, through simple coordination, overwhelmingly engulfed the eight cultivator overlords! *Rumble!*

The eight overlords’ powers and domains, mobilized by Yuan’s formation, resisted with all their might. Yet, after only a slight hindrance, the endlessly terrifying assault struck Wulan and Luo Feng.

“This might—” Overlord Jin, Overlord Moman, Overlord Minghuang, and Overlord Naigu — the four of them blanched.

Before the absolute power of over a hundred Ancestors acting in concert, anyone without exceptionally strong life-preservation abilities would be utterly destroyed! The main combat avatars of these four were simply unable to withstand such might.

Yuan and Xingmang, facing such might, could only evade.

But in this collective clash... while the two of them could evade, the other overlords could not!

“Boom—”

Luo Feng and Wulan both felt an endlessly crushing might bearing down on them.

“Hahaha, what exhilaration!” Wulan laughed heartily. He even tried to actively intercept much of the power, and his vast body, formed by the Source Matter Dao, was constantly sustaining injuries. Yet, he didn’t care about these wounds.

“Target Luo Feng!” The Ancestors tried their best to bypass Wulan, so even when Wulan actively tried to intercept, he only managed to block about half of the power.

The remaining half of the power struck Luo Feng.

Various peak-level forces indiscriminately rained down on Luo Feng, eroding, destroying, and shattering him.

“The pressure is a bit much!” Luo Feng’s protective energy layer was repeatedly pierced. His 1.08 billion origin sources furiously replenished it, while numerous forces tore and damaged his body. Luo Feng’s body split open with many wounds, blood staining parts of him, and his injuries were clearly much heavier.

However, Luo Feng’s physical body accounted for only one portion of energy, while his 1.08 billion origin sources constituted ten portions! Even with severe physical injuries, Luo Feng possessed terrifying vitality; even if destroyed, he could recover partially from nothingness. Coupled with the recovery from his 1.08 billion origin sources, his physical condition remained within acceptable limits.

In contrast, the ‘protective energy layer’ was consuming a significant amount of energy.

“In one breath, approximately five percent of energy reserves are consumed,” Luo Feng sensed.

Previously, facing seventy-three Ancestors within a battle formation, Luo Feng consumed one percent of his energy reserves per breath. Now, that consumption had increased fivefold! Clearly, as the might continued to intensify, the damage to Luo Feng would increase exponentially.

If the might reached a certain threshold, Luo Feng’s main combat avatar would also be obliterated.

“Luo Feng is holding on,” the numerous Ancestors, led by the Nine Emperors, were secretly astonished. They could feel that Luo Feng’s body was considerably less resilient than Wulan’s, and his injuries were clearly more severe.

Yet, Luo Feng endured, continuously maintaining his peak state.

“Now you try our overlords’ techniques!”

A voice rang out among the many Ancestors.

Overlord Moman burned his main combat avatar, instantly transforming the vast space-time where the Ancestors resided into countless vibrating musical notes. The entire space-time became a song, its melody resonating in the minds of every Ancestor.

It was an intangible attack, targeting both body and soul.

Being a group technique, no Ancestor could evade it; they could only endure. Over a dozen Ancestors who had been severely wounded in the previous clash, after ten days of ceasefire rest and with the aid of their companions, had somewhat recovered. However, three of them were still quite heavily injured, and at this moment, facing Overlord Moman’s technique, their injuries immediately worsened.

“Haha, this time we’re sure to kill a few more Ancestors!” Jin’s voice also rang out. All the power he burned transformed into thirteen black spheres. These thirteen black spheres appeared in the Ancestors’ vicinity, instantly erupting with might and annihilating the surrounding vast area.

Immediately after, dazzling golden lightning descended! Streaks of golden lightning locked onto their enemies, leaving no escape!

“Ignore them.”

“Destroy them as quickly as possible!”

While Moman, Jin, and Minghuang successively launched their attacks, the Nine Emperors remained completely unshaken. They were already aware of the overlords’ tactics and naturally had countermeasures.

If they couldn't defend against these overlords’ assassinations, then there was no need to defend! They arranged for the endless Ancestors, with the Mother of Spacetime and Primordial assisting to save severely wounded Ancestors. As for the other six exceptionally powerful members of the Nine Emperors, they led the rest of the Ancestors in a full-scale assault.

“Wulan!”

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor roared, its colossal form instantly blurring and expanding thousands, even tens of thousands of times in size, making it far larger than all the other Ancestors combined.

Named ‘Infinite,’ it could indeed expand infinitely, its largest form even surpassing a cluster of worlds. Furthermore, it could merge with the boundless void, becoming truly immortal and indestructible.

However, in that state, it possessed no offensive power.

“Whoosh!” It first expanded into a colossal, ethereal form, enveloping Wulan! Then, it instantly solidified and shrank.

An incredibly vast serpent body completely entrapped Wulan within its belly! Moreover, two terrifying forces merged into the serpent’s interior: one was the Nirvanic Ancestor, who transformed into a ball of black light that coiled around half of Wulan’s body. The other was the Origin Flame Ancestor, who, like a fiery star, bound and enveloped Wulan’s other half.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Origin Flame Ancestor, and Nirvanic Ancestor, all skilled in binding, united their efforts. Even with Wulan’s formidable body, escape was incredibly difficult.

Previously, the Origin Flame Ancestor had once devoured Wulan, trapping him for about one breath’s time. Now, with three of them working together, Wulan had no way to break free.

“Open!!!” Wulan struggled with all his might. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the other two could all achieve Overlord-level combat power, and with their current coordination, no matter how strong Wulan was, he couldn’t break free.

“Annihilate Luo Feng!”

At this moment, two Ancestors were severely wounded and hid within Primordial’s body. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor and its two allies had also restrained Wulan. Exactly one hundred Ancestors remained! These one hundred Ancestors launched a collective assault, their peak-level forces interwoven, engulfing Luo Feng!

Although lacking the command of three of the Nine Emperors’ most powerful members — the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Origin Flame Ancestor, and Nirvanic Ancestor — the overall strength of these one hundred Ancestors had decreased by at least twenty percent. Yet, their might still startled Luo Feng.

“Spacetime Maze!”

Overlord Xingmang made his move.

On the Ancestor side, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor possessed the highest mastery of the void. It had repeatedly clashed covertly with Overlord Xingmang, and although it was at a disadvantage, it did indeed affect Overlord Xingmang’s spacetime techniques.

Currently, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor needed to fully suppress Wulan within its body, as Wulan’s resistance was too strong. Under these circumstances, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor could not fully manipulate the void.

As for the ‘Mother of Spacetime,’ her mastery of the void was inferior to the Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s, and her mastery of time was far inferior to Xingmang’s.

“Rumble—”

The terrifying might unleashed by the hundred Ancestors shattered the Spacetime Maze despite its absolute power! Yet, it still forcibly diverted three to four tenths of the power, with the remaining force impacting the battle formation.

After further obstruction and weakening by Yuan’s formation, the power finally struck Luo Feng. Luo Feng felt it was only about ten percent stronger than previous assaults, still within his tolerance.

“This Overlord Xingmang!” The Ancestor side was also vexed.

With the Infinite Serpent Ancestor fully suppressing Wulan, Overlord Xingmang’s spacetime techniques could be fully unleashed!

“Boom—”

Under the terrifying might of the Ancestor side, an infinitely colossal figure took a single step and appeared directly before Luo Feng.

Its physique was enormous, several times larger than even Wulan’s! Its entire body was covered in black-gold scales, its massive wings were incredibly sharp, and simultaneously, an immensely vast aura of colorful light enveloped it, while endless black mist permeated its surroundings.

“Titan God Emperor! Source Beast Ancestor! Black Tide Ancestor!”

Luo Feng recognized them instantly.

The incredibly vast domain of colorful light was a transformation of the Source Beast Ancestor, one of the Nine Emperors. The Source Beast Ancestor’s body was the most terrifying domain in the entire Infinite Source Space! Within its domain, Overlord Xingmang could not even mobilize a shred of void energy.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the vast domain of colorful light was actually a fat behemoth with multicolored fur.

Because every part of the domain was its fur, its very body. Other powerful beings naturally couldn't mobilize a shred of void energy. Overlord Xingmang could only escape this domain by utilizing time lines. Outside the colorful light domain, the endless black mist was a transformation of the Black Tide Ancestor’s body.

The Black Tide Ancestor had transformed into the Endless Black Tide Calamity! It was also a calamity domain power, whose suppressive force was weaker than the Source Beast Ancestor’s, but it brought various calamities upon enemies.

The ‘Black Tide Calamity Domain’ and ‘Source Beast Ancestor Domain’ — a dual domain — enveloped its body! Combined with its terrifying physical form, the Titan God Emperor in its current state was without any weakness.

“Thud—”

Carrying its vast domain, it tore through the void in a single stride, appearing before Luo Feng.

“Scram!” Luo Feng unleashed a ferocious saber strike. The saber light fiercely passed through the Black Tide Calamity Domain, then through the even stronger ‘Source Beast Ancestor’s Colorful Light Domain’, and was utterly engulfed, not even touching the Titan God Emperor’s terrifying body.

The Titan God Emperor arrived close by, its massive arms embracing him, and a pair of enormous wings enveloped him. Furthermore, the Colorful Light Domain and Black Tide Domain engulfed Luo Feng.

“This domain—”

Luo Feng wasn’t concerned by the various calamity powers of the Black Tide Domain; his endless vitality could resist them.

However, with the Black Tide Domain’s restraints and the enveloping hold of the endless colorful light, Luo Feng found every movement incredibly strenuous. The Titan God Emperor’s arms and wings closed in, and Luo Feng couldn’t evade, instantly being embraced.

Under the assault of a hundred Ancestors, the overlords’ battle formation was already struggling greatly.

With the Titan God Emperor and its two allies working together, Luo Feng’s movement techniques were not as formidable as Overlord Xingmang’s. Crucially, while resisting the Ancestors’ encirclement, he had no way to dodge or escape.

In a single exchange, he was entangled by the Titan God Emperor and its two allies. “Good!”

“We’re dealing with the two strongest physically!”

The Ancestors were invigorated.

Wulan and Luo Feng were the most resilient among the eight overlords, incredibly crucial within the battle formation. Luo Feng, especially, could rapidly restore his companions to their peak state!

To deal with Luo Feng and Wulan, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and its previous allies weren't strong enough. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Nirvanic Ancestor, and Origin Flame Ancestor, even when allied, could only ensure one of them was trapped.

Only with the Titan God Emperor and its two allies working together could they ensure the other overlord was trapped.

“Whoosh.”

After trapping Luo Feng, the Titan God Emperor and its allies immediately retreated. After all, their immense size and vast domain range completely interfered with the other Ancestors’ encirclement.

With this retreat, the Titan God Emperor and its allies withdrew into the midst of the Ancestor horde.

“They trapped me?”

Luo Feng, suppressed by the combined efforts of the Titan God Emperor and its two allies, felt a cold glint in his eyes as he entered the Ancestor horde.

“Detonate!!!”

In an instant, Luo Feng’s physical body vanished.

His physical body transformed into energy, all of it surging into his 1.08 billion origin sources! His 1.08 billion origin sources were already fully charged with energy, but as the physical body’s energy forcefully surged in, they suddenly contracted.

Afterward, they explosively transformed into an endlessly dazzling energy storm!

In an instant, tearing apart all obstructions and restraints!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
