The War of Ancestral Gods
1,858 words
The Otherworld Ancestral God Lu Lupesi crashed through dozens of stars before stabilizing his form and reattaching his severed body. He stood above a star, surrounded by divine flames, staring coldly at Yan Huang.
“A stone soldier… making me bleed and wound me.”
Clearly, he was wary of the stone soldier and did not attack immediately.
Around Yan Huang, grasses and trees flourished. In the vast starry sky, divine flowers bloomed in every direction, paving a path of life and creation, a road of grass and wood stretching straight toward the Otherworld Ancestral God Lu Lupesi.
It was a wonder: starlight shimmered, plants throve, and a path of flowers and trees hung suspended among the stars.
Yan Huang was awe-inspiring without anger. He stepped forward one pace at a time, the stone soldier in his hand pointing ahead, and the entire starry sky trembled with his stride. The light of billions of stars flickered, dimming and brightening.
“Boom!”
The star on which Lu Lupesi stood shattered in an instant under this pressure, turning into a torrent of divine fire that burst in all directions, annihilating dozens of planets.
The battle had begun once more!
On another battlefield, Mo Xiaowang—his upper body that of a tiger and his lower body that of a serpent—fought fiercely against an Otherworld Ancestral God. He was the fusion of two War Ancestors from the primordial age, his combat power naturally formidable. Purely with his physical body, he could clash head-on with Ancestral God weapons.
Among the eight Otherworld Ancestral Gods, Lu Lupesi and Lan Yufeng were naturally the strongest, for they were Ancestral Gods from the previous civilization age.
At this moment, Mo Xiaowang overwhelmingly suppressed his opponent. But another Ancestral God on the sidelines struck without hesitation.
“Heartflower withers!”
Though the Otherworld Ancestral God’s voice was low and somewhat soft, it sent Mo Xiaowang’s body violently shaking, nearly toppling over in the starry sky.
This was an attack on the divine sense—a thunderclap exploding in his heart, trying to shatter his divine thoughts, causing his heartflower to wither and his consciousness to be extinguished.
It was a strike on the origin. Simple, yet dangerous and effective.
“Bang!”
Mo Xiaowang fell backward in the sea of stars. Two Otherworld Ancestral Gods working together nearly brought him down, but his formidable combat power and steadfast will saved him.
“You want my consciousness to wither? I’ll make your flesh wither first!”
Mo Xiaowang was fused from two ancient War Clans—savage and unrestrained. His tiger claw reached out, directly seizing a nearby massive black hole and dragging it over. With a thunderous roar, he enveloped one of the Otherworld Ancestral Gods inside.
“Boom!”
At the same time, his body blazed with blinding light. In the dazzling radiance, both of them tumbled away. A great splash of blood destroyed dozens of stars—whose blood it was, no one knew.
The two mighty experts gathered their strength once more and came to a new region of the universe. This time, they pushed their combat power to the limit. One blow would surely shake heaven and earth, for they now understood each other’s true strength.
On Lan Yufeng’s left arm, the diamond-shaped divine shield rippled with light—that was his body-protecting divine weapon. In his right hand appeared a jagged blue long blade, like a small blue lake, with blue ripples dotting its surface. But that was only the exterior; within it contained boundless divine power and a faint, seething violent aura.
This was Lan Yufeng’s true divine weapon, pointed at the old farmer in the distance.
Now the old farmer also stood amid the stars, surrounded by starlight, motionless as a mountain. Both hands gripped the Great Destruction War Spear, slanting it forward, a fierce killing intent rolling through the cosmos.
In that moment, his aura surged unceasingly. His graying hair stood on end like steel needles, hard and sharp. His gaze grew more piercing, the two divine rainbows shooting from his eyes extending tens of thousands of miles.
The old farmer had become one with the Great Destruction War Spear!
At this instant, the old farmer’s flesh-and-blood body merged with the cold spear—heart and mind inseparable, gradually indistinguishable. They seemed naturally fused as one.
“Kill!”
The blue jagged blade in Lan Yufeng’s hand had already been raised high. The divine power transformed into a rainbow beam, crossing the starry sky and slashing toward the old farmer.
Heaven and earth trembled. The cosmos shattered. Countless stars broke apart. Man and blade charged forward in an instant.
“Kill!”
At this moment, the old farmer’s aura peaked. Body and spear combined, his two hands thrusting the spear forward.
Both were Ancestral Gods of the previous civilization era. Their combat power was unimaginable—this was a cataclysmic collision!
The spearpoint met the blue blade!
Brilliant radiance completely drowned this region of the universe. A supreme peak duel—divine power surged, and the starry sky shook violently.
In this full-power confrontation, all the stars in their battlefield ultimately dimmed and turned to ash.
Lan Yufeng roared, azure light blazing around him. At the same time, he hurled the divine shield from his left arm toward the old farmer, trying to smash the terrifying opponent at such close range.
“Boom!”
But at that moment, Lan Yufeng was struck by lightning. The jagged long blade in his hand shook violently, nearly flying out of his grasp—he could barely hold it.
“Clang!”
At the juncture of the blue blade and the spearpoint, several notches burst open on the blade. Lan Yufeng cried out, spat blood, and his body flew backward. The divine shield that had nearly reached the old farmer also flew back, falling short.
“Roar!” Lan Yufeng bellowed, shaking the starry sky. “I was actually wounded by you… Impossible!”
To this, the old farmer said coldly, “You had fear in your heart, not daring to clash your longsword fully against me in a head-to-head strike. How could a shield-user have the momentum of a one-way charge? The outcome was already decided!”
“Impossible!” Lan Yufeng shouted, his hair bristling with rage. He gripped the jagged long blade and divine shield and charged forward once more.
But this time, the old farmer did not advance. He clashed with him across the starry sky!
The Great Destruction War Spear pointed forward. With a thunderous boom, a terrifying aura surged forth.
The spear itself did not fly forward, but all the killing intent condensed into a tangible edge, transforming into a dreadful beam that pierced through the starry sky.
“Bang!”
Lan Yufeng was sent flying backward. The divine shield on his left arm was pierced through, and his left arm shattered into a great mist of blood.
He roared again and rose into the air. But at that moment, he was horrified to discover that a bowl-sized bloody hole had appeared in his chest, causing him excruciating pain.
A terrible blade had shattered his heart and pierced his body!
In the vast starry sky, the old farmer was one with spirit and spear, his essence, energy, and spirit unified. A stream of fearsome light continuously shot from the Great Destruction War Spear, piercing through Lan Yufeng in another star domain.
The true meaning of the Great Destruction: destroy all obstacles. Relentless!
The Great Destruction, as its name implies, destroys all things in the world!
The Otherworld Ancestral God, a powerhouse among them—Lan Yufeng—was heavily wounded, pierced with dozens of bloody holes. Just then, another Otherworld Ancestral God rushed forward to block the old farmer.
This was the advantage of numbers: even if one could not match the opponent in individual combat, sheer quantity could compensate.
If we speak of the most perilous battle at this moment, it was surely the Old Ancestral Dragon’s battlefield. He was besieged by three Otherworld Ancestral Gods.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation was a world-shaking divine ability, turning the cycle of worlds, capable of grinding down Ancestral God-level experts!
If he could use it against a single Otherworld Ancestral God, he would surely annihilate him. But he had no chance, because three Otherworld Ancestral Gods fought him simultaneously. They feared that he would use this peerless technique on one alone.
Though the three Otherworld Ancestral Gods were not from the previous civilization age, working together they were still terrifyingly powerful.
The Old Ancestral Dragon did not want to use this divine art on all three at once, as that would disperse the power, likely wasted as before. He had to create an opportunity for himself.
The Ancestral Dragon Platform shook heaven and earth as he sent it flying. The Dragon Clan’s great divine ability—the Art of Imprisonment! Used together with the Ancestral Dragon Platform, it briefly immobilised one of them.
But the other two Otherworld Ancestral Gods were rich in combat experience. They simultaneously pushed their combat power to the limit and attacked the Old Ancestral Dragon.
Three Ancestral Gods warred against the Old Ancestral Dragon. Even with one temporarily hindered, the situation for the Old Ancestral Dragon was extremely dangerous.
The Old Ancestral Dragon was deeply unwilling to fail. He wanted to risk using the Six Paths of Reincarnation to kill that target.
A dragon cry shook the starry sky. The Old Ancestral Dragon could no longer hold back. He was about to make his move!
“SIX—PATHS—OF—REINCARNATION!”
Across the universe, billions of stars quaked together. Myriads of galaxies trembled. The whole world was shaken—time and space became chaotic.
In that moment, the endless stars, tiny as grains of sand, were enveloped within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, like a handful of sand spilling between fingers.
Heaven and earth were in great turmoil!
The starry sky was being destroyed. The great divine ability of the Six Paths of Reincarnation swept one of the enemy inside, beginning to grind him down!
But the Old Ancestral Dragon himself was also in danger. The other two turned to him, unleashing their killer moves. The two Otherworld Ancestral Gods joined together, transforming into a dazzling radiance that struck the Old Ancestral Dragon.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a divine tree pierced through space, crashing down heavily on the fearsome light that was attacking the Old Ancestral Dragon.
The two Otherworld Ancestral Gods were struck by a cheap shot and flew into a rage. In front of them, the old swindler—the Martial Imprint—materialized, a cheap grin on his face, blocking their path.
“Roar!” The universe shattered. The Six Paths of Reincarnation turned the worlds. Millions of stars became ash. The Otherworld Ancestral God inside screamed in agony as half of his divine soul was ground away.
The Old Ancestral Dragon let out a long cry. The Ancestral Dragon Platform trembled within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, smashing the remaining half of that soul—an Otherworld Ancestral God was killed in the starry sky!
But at that very moment, a heaven-shaking killing intent came from a distant star region.
Above the Nine Provinces’ Ancestral Dragon Village, before the black divine gate, an imposing Otherworld figure had already taken his stand. His voice was cold and emotionless: “Dead? They were already dead. This was meant to refine and purify them, casting away the dross to preserve the pure.”
