Chapter 1153: This Way is Barred (1/2)
The figure of the ghost ancestor covered the skies and blotted out the sun. Its massive form could be seen anywhere within the thirty-three facets. Cultivators cowered and immortals shook, but no one lost their heads in panic.
Ge Long was also on the scene, standing at the peak of Mount Vastspace and suppressing the four Abysses of Divine Burial with four bloodthirsty swords. His form also split into four and shot toward the four separate bodies of the ghost ancestor in the seas.
The atmosphere in the world of immortals nearly froze over; even the immortals battling Goldenlight and Silverlight over the North Sea paused with shock. No one had told them that the ghost ancestor would be materializing in this battle!
……
“Pathetic ant!” sneered the ghost ancestor when it saw Ge Long make his way over.
The energy of the world around them shifted to that of the four elements, churning into enormous waves that crashed down on the four Ge Longs charging into the oceans.
“I see! So you’re a chaos creature to begin with, but you weren’t attacked by the energy of the worlds because you once absorbed the energy of this land!” Ge Long frowned, releasing hazy rays of sword light from his weapon and slashing apart the rearing waves.
The four Ge Longs then transformed into four sword shadows, resonating with the four swords pinning down the abysses and raising them in a formidable sword formation. In this moment, Ge Long stepped beyond the limits of space and surrounded all four oceans!
He’d accomplished a task that the joint efforts of Mount Vastspace and the Timelight Tower had proven insufficient to do!
“You stole the divine decree of the Exalted Divine Tribe from the altar of heaven and earth all those years back, which is why your replica isn’t attacked by the energies of our world!” As he spoke, Ge Long sent his four swords scything down on the ghost ancestor’s replica from the four cardinal directions.
Instead of responding, the ghost ancestor regarded the scene solemnly. The mewling life form in front of it was only barely chaos realm, but the terrifying killing power of that sword formation made even the ghost ancestor’s heart quail.
This was the purest of slaughter dao—to verify one’s cultivation through killing!
Just who is he?!
The ghost ancestor didn’t have time to further consider the question. Instead, it summoned the energy of the four elements—dyed back from the corruption of akashic power—to its body. Refusing to back down in the slightest, it raised all eight arms and slammed them against the four bloodthirsty swords.
The violent collision evaporated tonnes of seawater, cresting the rest into horrific tidal waves that roiled toward the thirty-three facets with cataclysmic power.
The ghost ancestor didn’t care what would happen to the world of immortals and its life forms. It wanted to cleanse the world of all life, even if that meant destroying the world itself!
It was also completely berserk at this point. That a tiny chaos realm immortal could obstruct its immortal lord replica completely, thoroughly, and utterly humiliated it!
……
Battered by endless tidal waves, all of the islands, sects, and monster spirit strongholds in the four seas were washed into oblivion. Any immortals that didn’t retreat to the thirty-three facets in time followed the same path into nothingness as well.
However, when the waters of armageddon neared the facets, they mysteriously dispersed and faded away.
The immortals standing within the facets blinked with surprise. They’d been ready to fight to the bitter end and die for their homes in the next second. This result was completely outside of their expectations!
Even the ghost ancestor paused briefly with consternation, giving Ge Long an opening to slice off one of its heads. Pure black blood sprayed through the air alongside a scream of anguish, turning the waters beneath its feet pitch black.
Quickly following up on his advantage, Ge Long forced the ghost ancestor step by step back into the abysses.
