The Heavenly Ghost Progenitor was different from the other two clansmen. He was the first Heavenly Ghost in this world. He was born at the level of the Ancestral Saints of the various races, so his flesh and bones were incomparably sturdy. Moreover, he was protected by an abnormally powerful blood aura. During the previous battles, even if the sword light struck his body, it would only leave behind a few bloody wounds. The wounds would heal in the blink of an eye.
However, under the suction force of the demonic image, he felt his soul shake as if it was about to leave his body. His eyes couldn't help but focus. Fortunately, he was prepared. He only needed to circulate his Qi and blood to stabilize it.
Zhang Yan had fought with the Firemane Ancestor before, and he knew that he would not be able to subdue the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor's Divine Soul if he hurriedly exerted his strength. However, according to his previous plan, he only needed to restrain the opponent for a moment. So after this, he slowly withdrew his divine ability and stood there, adjusting his breathing, accumulating his spiritual power, and waiting silently. Once there was an opportunity, he would launch a thunderous strike.
Heavenly Ghost Progenitor sensed that the soul pulling force was gradually weakening. Just as he was about to take action, an extremely bright light flashed in front of him. He knew that another sword light was coming.
He had thought that no matter how sharp the sword was, he would be able to withstand it with his strong body. But this time, it was completely different. He felt his blood and Qi pulsating, as if his body was about to be torn apart.
Yue Xuanxiao sneered. In the battle Just Now, he had used the divine ability of the sword to make a subtle change. He had transformed the sword light into the blood and Qi of the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor, and then used it to mix into the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor's body. He had been hiding in the dark until now, and now he was using it to attack the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor from the inside and outside!
The Heavenly Ghost progenitor let out a muffled groan as his muscles swelled, his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones becoming abnormally thick. His entire body seemed to swell.
This was because he wanted to detonate his body and release the surging power of blood and Qi in his body. This way, he could get rid of all the sword Qi.
As for the other two clansmen, they could use this opportunity to release them at the same time and solve all the problems at once.
However, his body was too tough. Even if a part of it was damaged, it would immediately grow back. Even he himself was unable to complete the most thorough step in an instant, so there was a clear delay in the transformation.
At this moment, the Endless Heavenly River appeared in the surroundings out of nowhere. It was only for an instant. It swallowed him whole.
Every drop of the water was formed from the Northern Underworld True Water. Its strength was comparable to a mountain. He felt as if he was being pressed under an endless ocean abyss, unable to move at all.
His body, which was about to burst open, was forcefully pushed back.
Moreover, these two forces did not stop. One was wreaking havoc on the inside, while the other was constantly pressing down on the outside. Just Now, his body had recovered a little, but in the blink of an eye, it was crushed again. Yet, on the surface, it still looked as if he was in perfect condition.
Under such circumstances, he couldn't use any divine abilities, so he could only protect his own root fruit. He wanted to use this opportunity to avoid this crisis.
However, it only lasted for a few breaths before it gave up. It knew that even if it used up all of its Root Fruits, it still wouldn't be able to escape.
Sect Master Qin and Sect Master Yue had been waiting for this strike for a long time. During this time, they had even discussed it with their Divine Wills several times. They had almost calculated all of the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor's subsequent changes, not allowing the opponent any room to resist. At this moment, they kept urging their magic power, causing the divine abilities to change endlessly like a flowing river.
This was just like how Venerable Ling Ya had been fixed by Zhang Yan's Earth Raising Art all those years ago. There was the help of the Root Fruit. With the help of the Root Fruits, there was nothing he could do but be locked in place.
If the two sides continued like this, either the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor's Qi and blood would be exhausted, or he would be forced into a long slumber. Either they were forced into a long slumber, or the two sect masters ran out of magic power and stopped in advance.
Zhang Yan had already accumulated his magic power to the extreme. The half-real, half-illusory Demon Image behind him seemed to have completely entered this world.
Its appearance could not be described with words, because it seemed to be changing every moment, and once he looked away. It could no longer be imagined.
Seeing that the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor had been trapped, he knew that his chance had come. With a thought, the Demon Image leaned forward slightly, then sucked in the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor, who was wrapped in layers of Heavenly River water.
The Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor felt his soul violently shake, as if it had been hit by something powerful. Then, it began to sway, as if it was about to fly out of his body.
He couldn't help but be shocked. He wanted to stabilize himself, but whether it was his body or Qi and blood, they couldn't circulate freely under the suppression of the two sect masters.
He immediately realized that if he didn't think of a way to break out of this situation, then he would probably die here.
"I didn't want to use this move in advance."
There was some hesitation in his eyes, but in the end, he recovered his calmness.
At this moment, his vitality and Qi and blood began to fade at an extremely strange speed, as if a large hole had been opened in a originally full pool of water, causing it to continuously flow out.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. He could sense that the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor's Soul had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only an empty body.
The two sect masters also sensed this change, but they didn't stop because of this. Their magic power continued to pour out.
In just a few breaths of time, the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor's body had turned into a greyish-black stone statue.
The two of them pondered for a moment, then withdrew their magic power.
Almost at the same time, the stone statue shattered into countless fragments that drifted into the void.
Yue Xuanxiao said indifferently, "This fellow has indeed moved his Soul and Qi and blood elsewhere."
Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Let's see where it ends up. Such a powerful blood qi and soul isn't something that just anyone can handle. As long as it shows up in the Mountain and Sea Realm, we'll know immediately."
He looked into the endless starry sky. "But if he's not here, then we will have to spend some effort in the future."
In their previous discussion, they had anticipated that such a situation might occur. Since the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor was able to take in two of his own clan members, it was very possible that he could do the exact opposite.
Perhaps there was another Ghost Ancestor hidden somewhere in the Mountain and Sea Realm, or perhaps he was hiding somewhere in the void. If that was the case, then it would be a huge hidden danger. They would have to wait until the Mountain and Sea Realm was pacified before trying to find him.
Zhang Yan stood off to the side, lost in thought.
When Sect Master Qin saw him like this, he said, "Hall Master Du Zhen, have you thought of something?"
Zhang Yan turned around, an indescribable light in his eyes. "Perhaps disciple knows where the Heavenly Ghost's Ancestor has gone."
On a certain snow-capped peak in the Northern Heaven Frigid Abyss, the place where the cave had once been was filled with a pool of ice. Tens of thousands of meters below the surface of the ice, a white-robed woman was sleeping.
If Zhang Yan were here, he would recognize her as the Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue.
After signing the indenture with Zhang Yan, the Demonic Ancestor knew that there would be a war between Heavenly Ghost and the Nine Continents. Perhaps in order to avoid being dragged into the conflict, she had hidden herself in this icy plain.
Afraid that her aura would leak out and be found by Heavenly Ghost, she had sealed herself in ice below the Heavenly Flame Lake, and was prepared to sleep for thousands of years before emerging.
However, all of a sudden, she frowned, and a look of shock appeared on her face. She seemed to be resisting something, and began to struggle with all her might.
Given the Demonic Ancestor's power, a single movement like this would definitely be enough to overturn the continent and destroy this icy plain.
But at this moment, her every movement became abnormally powerless. Ripples appeared on the icy water around her, and even her aura was weakening.
After an unknown amount of time, she stopped moving, and her entire body retreated into a fist-sized ball of qi and blood, which roiled endlessly.
The ball of blood was like a baby in its mother's womb, but it gradually grew bones, flesh, organs, limbs, and head, before slowly transforming into the appearance of the Heavenly Ghost's ancestor.
After a few breaths, the Heavenly Ghost's ancestor opened her eyes, stretched her body, and straightened her body in the icy water.
Back then, in order to not be bound by the world, she had once asked the force beyond the heavens for guidance on how to transcend this world.
At that time, she had obtained a secret technique. As the son of Bo Bai, she was originally very powerful, but she was too fierce. She needed to find a descendant of Bo Xuan before her cultivation reached the Nine Transformations. Once her cultivation reached the Nine Transformations, she would be devoured. That way, Yin and Yang would be harmonious, and there would be a great chance for her to go beyond the heavens.
The Gou Yue Demonic Ancestor was a descendant of Boxuan. That was the reason why he didn't kill the demonic ancestor back then. He even secretly did something to it so that he could directly devour it when his cultivation reached a certain level in the future.
However, Just Now, she was forced to a dead end by Zhang Yan and the others. Even though the time was not right, she had to act in advance, and directly transfer her qi, blood, and spirit over.
He carefully felt it, and revealed a look of surprise. The power of her qi and blood was actually much higher than when she was at her peak.
However, at the same time, she was filled with hatred. It was almost impossible to find a demonic ancestor like the Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue in this world, unless she waited for tens of thousands of years. If she was not a cultivator of the Nine Continents, how could she be like this?
Thinking of this, endless killing intent rose in his heart.
However, just as this thought came to his mind, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her qi and essence began to riot uncontrollably, and she could not help but be shocked.
If this continued, it would not take long for her qi and blood to be exhausted and die. She desperately tried to stop it, but it was of no use.
She did not understand, but Just Now She had the killing intent, so she immediately obeyed the oath.
Since she occupied this body, she also had to bear the karma of this body.
Demonic Ancestor Gou Yue had signed a contract with Zhang Yan before. At this moment, if he could disregard the price and split the demonic ancestor's soul and qi from her body in time, he might be able to escape.
It was a pity that the moment he moved over, the two were already tied together and could not be separated.
An oath of a contract would cause an effect. If she used her own strength to attack herself, even an immortal body would be useless.
After a few breaths, there was a loud bang. The body of the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor collapsed, and her soul scattered. The entire ice pool also exploded. Countless pieces of ice rushed into the sky, followed by a rain of blood. Then, the surging Qi and blood surged down from the snowy plains like a waterfall, instantly dyeing this plain white world crimson red.
