Against Yi Yun, who had severed his Dao, Bai Yueyin remained extremely calm. She did not seem to find it unacceptable that her countless years of battle had resulted in her failure.
Yi Yun touched his interspatial ring. Mirage Snow was in it. All he needed to do was draw it out and slash out. In her present state, there was no way Bai Yueyin could withstand it.
However, Yi Yun was somewhat hesitant when he brandished the God Slaughtering Sword at Bai Yueyin … Bai Yueyin was neither good nor evil. She had chosen the path of death, but she was now severely injured because of her battle with the Ancestor God.
Decades ago, the Ancestor God had come to the primeval universe to pursue Yi Yun. Although the Spear of Primordial Chaos had penetrated the Ancestor God's body, the divine spear was ultimately ownerless. Just the spear alone was probably insufficient to make the Ancestor God lose his combat strength. If not for Bai Yueyin traversing through layers of space, Yi Yun might not have escaped the Ancestor God's pursuit.
It was even possible that the Ancestor God would have caught up to Yi Yun in the primeval universe's spatial storms, resulting in his untimely death!
Taking a step back, even if Yi Yun had escaped back then, he still had the Ancestor God's mark in him. The Ancestor God would have eventually pursued him to claim his life. If not for Bai Yueyin severely injuring the Ancestor God, how could Yi Yun have the chance to meet Lin Xintong?
"Are you hesitating?" Bai Yueyin looked at Yi Yun and said indifferently.
"Why are you so unperturbed in the face of death?" returned Yi Yun with a question.
"Since ancient times, the winner takes all. My Dao is a path of absolute death to begin with. Taking it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Before I embarked on this path, I was already prepared to fail. Now that I've been defeated by your 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, it's also fate. It's the cycle of karma."
Bai Yueyin's voice was calm and carefree. It left Yi Yun impressed.
"I do not like to take advantage of others when they are down. If possible, I really do not wish to kill you, but I cannot change your Dao that has persisted for hundreds of millions of years. Even if I don't kill you, you will still have to fuse with Xintong's soul. When that day comes, it will be too late for regrets."
As Yi Yun spoke, he made up his mind. He slowly drew Mirage Snow.
"Yi Yun!" At that moment, Lin Xintong's Yuan Qi voice transmission sounded in Yi Yun's ears. "Yi Yun, Master saved my life. Although she wanted to fuse with me, I did so willingly. Now, the Ancestor God's mark is still in your body. With the enemy before us, be it you or the lives of all life in the world, everything is in peril. Yet, under such circumstances, you want to kill the only ancient Godly Monarch in the Sinkhole. If you kill Master, it's almost impossible for you to defeat the Ancestor God! "
As Lin Xintong spoke, she transformed into a beam of light and appeared in the soul sea. She looked at Bai Yueyin with mixed emotions.
If possible, she naturally did not wish to fuse with Bai Yueyin. But from the looks of it, she had no choice. Although Yi Yun had extraordinary talent, it would be difficult for him to have the time to grow without Bai Yueyin completing her nine reincarnations.
Furthermore, the path to godhood was sealed by the Ancestor God.
"Yi Yun, although the Ancestor God was heavily injured by Master, he has a powerful vitality. He will quickly recover from his injuries. Furthermore, there is more than one Ancestor God!" Lin Xintong said again. This sentence made Yi Yun's heart palpitate.
With regards to this, he had long guessed it.
Years ago, Yi Yun had once headed to the Azure Wood Great World and sealed a bronze giant beneath the Azure Wood Divine Tree. The giant was much weaker than the Ancestor God that fought Bai Yueyin, but he was clearly one of the Ancestor Gods.
"What exactly is the Ancestor God?" asked Yi Yun.
"They are a race. You can call them the Celestials. And the strongest among them is known as the Ancestor God," said Lin Xintong. Over the years, she had followed Bai Yueyin and learned many secrets that Yi Yun did not know.
"Compared to humans, the Celestials are too terrifying. They have powerful bodies and terrifyingly long lifespans. As long as they are born, their strength will increase without the need to cultivate. If they cultivate, it will be even more impressive. And once they cultivate to the Ancestor God realm, they can continue raising their strength. That can only be done through an extremely special and terrifying cultivation method …"
"Oh?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows. "What is it?"
Lin Xintong took a deep breath and enunciated each word clearly. "It is to devour the Heavenly Dao. They devour the Heavenly Dao of different universes to strengthen themselves. When that happens, they will truly be no different from gods!"
Devour the Heavenly Dao!
Yi Yun felt his heart skip a beat. It was no wonder the Ancestor God was able to take away a corner of the Sinkhole's Heavenly Dao.
Was there such a terrifying race in this universe? If they were to go to other universes, it would be a disaster. Even the universe would be their food!
Lin Xintong added, "These matters were told to Master by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch years ago. Master then told me … Back then, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch personally killed an extremely powerful Ancestor God that was no different from a god. He split him into thirty-three parts and used pocket worlds to suppress him. One of his eyes was suppressed in the Tian Yuan world."
"So that's how the Eye of Destruction in the eternal whirlpool beneath the Tian Yuan world came about!"
Yi Yun naturally remembered that back in the mortal world, he had entered the God Advent Tower to obtain the Azure Yang Lord's heritage. The entrance was in the Untraversable Sea's eternal whirlpool. Anyone who entered the eternal whirlpool by mistake was doomed.
And back then, Yi Yun had witnessed an unforgettable scene. In the eternal whirlpool, there was a gigantic eye. Just looking at it from five thousand kilometers away made him feel like his soul was about to shatter!
So the extremely powerful Ancestor God was suppressed by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch!
Up to now, Yi Yun already knew of the existence of four Celestials.
Of the two Ancestor Gods, one had been sealed by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, while the other had been severely injured by the combined forces of the eight Godly Monarchs. Now, they were pursuing Bai Yueyin and him.
The other two were weaker. One of them had his head cleaved off by the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner, while the other had been sealed and suppressed by the Azure Wood Divine Tree!
In that case, in the ancient war hundreds of millions of years ago, the eight Godly Monarchs had not only killed the Ancestor God, they had also killed many weaker Celestials. The two he knew were definitely not all.
"How many people are there in this race?" asked Yi Yun with a frown.
"Very few." Bai Yueyin suddenly said, "The world where the Celestials live is mostly made up of alien races. There are demonic servants, Souls, Ancient Fey, and even humans … There, the Celestials are high and mighty. They are gods in that world. Even the weakest Celestial enjoys a transcendent status. I have once been to their world. The total number of Celestials does not exceed ten thousand."
"What? You actually … went to their world? "Yi Yun was astounded when he heard that.
"Senior Lin brought me there. Years ago, in order to establish my Dao foundation, there was a cultivation ground there. It was there that I broke through to the Godly Monarch realm …"
As Bai Yueyin spoke, she sighed lightly.
Yi Yun was enlightened when he heard that. From the looks of it, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had done a lot for Bai Yueyin back then. Furthermore, the time they spent together was rather long. After all, Bai Yueyin could cultivate all the way to the Godly Monarch realm. It was probably calculated in units of ten thousand years!
After ten thousand years of interaction, Bai Yueyin's feelings for the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch were obvious.
The might of the Celestials left Yi Yun feeling immense pressure. But at the same time, he did not feel inferior. After all, the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch was also a human!
The Dao Originator Celestial could seal and suppress the strongest Ancestor God of the Celestials. He could traverse the various worlds in the universe and seal off the Sinkhole from the Celestial world. Such means exceeded that of a god.
Since humans could cultivate to such a realm, Yi Yun did not think much of the advantages the Celestials had.
"Oh … This is …" Lin Xintong's voice suddenly changed. "Yi Yun, something has happened!"
Yi Yun's heart palpitated. "What happened?"
"It's the White Jade Phoenix Palace. I sense an anomaly happening to the White Jade Phoenix Palace!"
