38 Mystery of the Ancestor God (1/2)

Chapter 1550: Mystery of the Ancestor God

Bai Yueyin appeared extremely calm while facing Yi Yun who had severed her Dao. Despite ending with failure after innumerable years of combat, Bai Yueyin did not appear to find it unacceptable.

Yi Yun touched his interspatial ring where Mirage Snow was. As long as he drew it out and slashed, there was no way Bai Yueyin's present state could withstand his blow.

However, Yi Yun was somewhat hesitant delivering that god-slaying strike at Bai Yueyin… Bai Yueyin was neither good nor evil. She deserved death, but the reason why she was severely injured had to do with her battle with the Ancestor God.

Decades ago, the Ancestor God appeared to pursue Yi Yun in the primeval universe. Although the Spear of Primordial Chaos had torn through the Ancestor God's body, the divine spear was ownerless. Just a spear alone was unable to rob the Ancestor God of His combat strength. If Bai Yueyin had not tore through layers of space, Yi Yun was unlikely to have evaded the Ancestor God.

It was even possible that the Ancestor God would chase up to him in the spatial storms in the primeval universe, causing him to perish!

Taking a step back, even if Yi Yun escaped back then, he still had the Ancestor God's mark on him. The Ancestor God would ultimately take his life, and if not for Bai Yueyin's injuring of the Ancestor God, would Yi Yun have the chance of meeting Lin Xintong now?

”You are hesitating?” Bai Yueyin looked at Yi Yun and said lightly.

”How are you so unperturbed towards life and death?” returned Yi Yun with a question.

”Since time immemorial, winners are crowned and the losers vilified. My Dao has always been a path of certain death. Taking this path is as difficult as ascending the heavens. I was prepared to fail back when I embarked on this path. Now, to be defeated by your 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence means it was fated, a circulation of karma.”

Bai Yueyin's voice was calm and carefree. It impressed Yi Yun.

”I do not like to take advantage of people. If it's possible, I really do not wish to kill you, but there's no way I can change your Dao which you have persisted for hundreds of millions of years. If I don't kill you, you would still wish to fuse with Xintong's soul. When that happens, it will be too late for me to regret.”

As Yi Yun spoke, he had already made up his mind as he slowly drew out Mirage Snow.

”Yi Yun!” At that moment, Lin Xintong's Yuan Qi voice transmission sounded in Yi Yun's ears. ”Yi Yun, I'm indebted to Master for she saved my life. Although she wants to fuse with me, I had done so willingly. Now, the Ancestor God's mark is still in you. With the enemy before us, all life in the universe are in peril, including you. Yet, you wish to kill the only Ancestor Godly Monarch in the Sinkhole. If you were to kill Master, there's no way for you to defeat the Ancestor God!”

As Lin Xintong spoke, she transformed into a figure of light and appeared in her soul sea. She looked at Bai Yueyin with conflicted emotions.

If it was possible, she naturally did not wish to fuse with Bai Yueyin. But now, it was a choice she did not have. Although Yi Yun was extraordinarily talented, it was unlikely he had the time needed to grow without Bai Yueyin's completion of the nine reincarnations.

What's more, the path of becoming a god had been sealed off by the Ancestor God.

”Yi Yun, although the Ancestor God has been severely injured by Master, His vital force is extremely potent. He will quickly recover from His injuries. Furthermore, there isn't only one Ancestor God!” Lin Xintong spoke again. This sentence left Yi Yun's heart palpitating.

He had long had some ideas about the situation.

Back when Yi Yun headed to the Azure Wood Great World, there had been a bronze giant sealed under the Azure Wood Divine Tree. The giant was much weaker than the Ancestor God which Bai Yueyin had launched an assault on, but he clearly was a member of the entity known as an Ancestor God.

”What is an Ancestor God?” Yi Yun asked.

”They are a race. You can call them Celestials. And the strongest among them are called Ancestor Gods,” said Lin Xintong. She knew many secrets which Yi Yun did not know after her many years with Bai Yueyin.

”Compared to humans, Celestials are too terrifying. They have powerful bodies and astonishingly long lives. The moment they are born, their strength will constantly grow without the need to cultivate. If they cultivate, that would even be more astounding. And once they cultivate to the Ancestor God realm, there is only one special but extremely horrifying way to continue cultivating to increase their strength…”

”Oh?” Yi Yun pricked up his brows. ”What is it?”

Lin Xintong took a deep breath as she enunciated her sentence, ”They do so by devouring the Heavenly Dao. They devour the Heavenly Dao of different universes to enhance themselves. When that happens, they are no different from gods!”

Devouring of the Heavenly Dao!
