Chapter 268: The Illusory Phantom of the Demon God, the Demon Clan Wept

Quick, quick, it's coming!

At this moment, on Yao Xing, all the powerful ones were exerting force.

They landed on Yao Xing's surface, not hesitating to become human thrusters, pushing Yao Xing forward.

Under their push, Yao Xing's speed further increased.

But the Ancient God behind was faster.

Just seeing that massive divine body made these Yao Clan powerhouses feel despair.

Besides despair, they were also completely bewildered.

They simply couldn't understand why the Ancient God ignored the perfectly fine Lan Xing and insisted on chasing them.

Go all out!

Roar!

In space, the Golden Lion suddenly enlarged, letting out an earth-shaking roar toward one side of the transmission channel.

With that roar, the barrier of the transmission channel instantly shattered.

A large surge of spatial turbulence burst out.

Immediately after, it was like a flood breaking a dam; the spatial turbulence grew larger and larger, completely blocking the passage behind Yao Xing.

The Ancient God was blocked, its speed sharply dropping.

Quick!

But the transmission channel now faced total collapse.

Numerous Yao Xing powerhouses exerted force together, pushing Yao Xing, hoping to break out of the channel.

We're about to get out!

Victory was right before their eyes.

Part of Yao Xing had already burst out of the channel.

Add more effort!

Charge out!

Numerous Yao Clan powerhouses erupted together, causing Yao Xing to leap violently and completely escape the transmission channel.

And after Yao Xing escaped, the transmission channel, tens of thousands of li in diameter, began to heal.

Phew!

All the Yao Clan powerhouses instantly exhaled, feeling a sense of having survived a calamity.

Roar!

Suddenly, accompanied by a roar capable of shattering the starry sky, the Ancient God's massive divine body directly smashed through the spatial turbulence and pursued again.

We're doomed!

The mood of numerous Yao Clan powerhouses was like riding a roller coaster—just at the peak, now they plummeted to the valley bottom.

Getting closer, getting closer.

The Ancient God drew ever nearer.

At that very moment, countless attacks erupted on Yao Xing.

Boom—

The Ancient God didn't even have the desire to block; it simply charged straight ahead.

All the attacks landed on its body, not even enough to give it an itch.

The transmission channel was closing, but the Ancient God wasn't using that route at all.

Moreover, it forcibly blasted its own path open.

Boom!

Finally, the Ancient God blasted through the channel and appeared in the starry sky.

The entire space trembled, as if unable to bear the Ancient God's aura.

Even light twisted and deformed at this moment, emitting a groan of being overburdened.

It's over!

The Yao Clan powerhouses despaired.

Some Yao Clan powerhouses, seeing the situation was bad, prepared to flee.

You're done for!

On a mountain inside Yao Xing, Lu Xun sneered.

Taking advantage of the time when the Yao Clan powerhouses landed on Yao Xing, Lu Xun also fell onto its surface, so as to lure the Ancient God to attack Yao Xing first.

Given the Ancient God's might, if Yao Xing had no means to respond, this time it would surely be doomed.

As for himself, Lu Xun was not worried.

At worst, he'd be captured again by the Ancient God.

The Ancient God wouldn't kill him.

As long as he didn't die, with so many binding targets now, his strength would increase rapidly.

Soon he would become strong enough to break free.

Here it comes.

The Ancient God has come.

Standing on Yao Xing's surface, one could see the Ancient God's massive divine body engulfed in flames.

Countless golden runes were frenziedly scorching it, giving it endless pain.

Its visage was twisted by it, looking ferocious and terrifying.

To the demon race on Yao Xing, the Ancient God looked like a burning sun.

"Indeed, it's coming for me."

Lu Xun had already seen the Ancient God's eyes.

The Ancient God's gaze was locked firmly on him.

Its target was Lu Xun.

After just a few steps it caught up to Yao Xing, extending an arm thousands of miles long and lunging to grab.

This grab was aimed straight at Lu Xun.

But to the demon race, the Ancient God was clearly attacking Yao Xing.

"Click—"

As the Ancient God's arm approached, Yao Xing's atmosphere was torn apart, all clouds swept away, and a fierce gale of dozens of levels blew between heaven and earth.

Heavenly Dao trembled violently.

At the critical moment,

Above Yao Xing, a giant serpent phantom long enough to encircle the whole star suddenly appeared.

Its serpent tail swept out hard, blocking the Ancient God's arm.

"Huh?"

On the Ancient God's shoulder, the God's slave couldn't help but look at the giant serpent phantom.

Though merely a phantom, this giant serpent's power far surpassed the Tenth Realm.

"Roar!"

The Ancient God stepped forward, both hands moving, aiming to shatter the giant serpent phantom.

The giant serpent phantom would not yield; its massive body surged toward the Ancient God, coiled around him in a circle, and dealt him a deadly constriction.

"Retreat!"

Taking the opportunity, many demon race experts again pushed Yao Xing away.

"Good fellow."

Lu Xun's gaze narrowed.

He hadn't expected Yao Xing to still have such a trump card.

It could actually withstand the Ancient God.

Could this giant serpent phantom be of Immortal God level?

Even if it were Immortal God level, how could a mere phantom block the Ancient God?

That's right.

All this way, the Ancient God has been scorched by the God-Sealing Nail.

Don't forget, when Lu Xun fled, the Ancient God was burned by the God-Sealing Nail for nine full days and nights, until it passed out.

Although I don't know how it recovered later, it hasn't been even a day since it lost consciousness.

Now is precisely when the Ancient God is weak.

Perhaps that's why the giant serpent phantom can block the Ancient God.

"Need to go underground!"

After using the Eye of Heavenly Dao once, Lu Xun, carrying surging demonic aura, rushed into Yao Xing's underground through a deep fissure.

Yes, his Eye of Heavenly Dao can also be used on Yao Xing.

The precondition is that Lu Xun fills his body with demonic power while drawing in all his other strength.

Otherwise, his Eye of Heavenly Dao cannot be used on Yao Xing.

"Roar!"

After Lu Xun rushed into Yao Xing's underground, the battle between the Ancient God and the giant serpent phantom continued.

After being entangled by the giant serpent phantom for so long, the Ancient God flew into a rage, finally found a chance, grabbed the serpent's head, and with a rip tore off the giant serpent's head.

Once the serpent head fell, the giant serpent phantom instantly collapsed.

The Ancient God tore again, shredding it completely.

"Even the Demonic God phantom can't stop it!"

On Yao Xing, the Yao Xing experts fell into despair once more.

That giant serpent phantom was Yao Xing's ultimate trump card.

It was somewhat similar to Lan Xing's God-Slaying Cannon.

This is a Demonic God phantom.

Though a phantom, its strength far exceeded the Tenth Realm.

Even so, it still couldn't block the Ancient God.

"Boom— Boom—"

The Ancient God came after them again.

Just as it was about to catch up to Yao Xing, suddenly the God-Sealing Nail in its head flared violently.

Its temperature was even higher than before.

"Roar!"

The Ancient God bellowed in pain.

It could no longer endure.

If this continued, it would pass out outside.

For it, that would be bad.

Its blood-red eyes looked, yet it discovered that Lu Xun was no longer on the surface of Yao Xing.

Lu Xun... had entered the underground of Yao Xing!

"Roar!"

The Ancient God flew into a rage, exerting all its strength to lunge forward, its two heavenly hands, each several thousand li long, pressed onto Yao Xing, intending to seize Lu Xun.

"Rumble~"

"Help~"

Yao Xing shuddered violently.

Its surface shattered heaven and earth, mountains and rivers collapsed, seas and rivers boiled.

To the Ancient God, such a massive planet was merely a ball roughly the size of its own body.

While trying to seize Lu Xun, the Ancient God also opened its huge mouth and bit Yao Xing several times with a 'crack'.

"Howl~"

The powerhouses of Yao Xing seemed to hear the lament of the Heavenly Dao.

With those bites, the Ancient God's teeth sank into Yao Xing's Heavenly Dao each time, consuming a considerable portion of its origin.

"Boom!"

The Ancient God's huge hand continued its frenzied assault on Yao Xing; each strike made it shudder violently, its surface even cracking open a fissure ten thousand li long.

It wanted to seize Lu Xun.

After Lu Xun located the fissure via the Heavenly Dao Eye, he had already been continually using spatial shuttling to delve deep underground.

Following the spot where Lu Xun had entered, the Ancient God frantically dug, forcibly carving out a huge hole on Yao Xing's surface.

Even with Yao Xing's heavenly and earthly toughness, it could not withstand such digging.

This huge hole quickly reached a depth of over a hundred kilometers.

That was roughly equivalent to the depth of the Ancient God's fist.

"Hurry!"

Lu Xun frantically drilled downward.

Fortunately, the passage he found was a deep fissure that seemed to lead to Yao Xing's core.

Otherwise, there would be no escape.

"Roar!"

Not long after, the Ancient God had dug that huge hole to a depth of over a thousand li.

Yet it still had not found Lu Xun.

The Ancient God refused to believe it, continuing to dig downward.

But soon, as the God-Suppressing Nail exerted its power further, it was nearing its limit.

If it did not retreat, it would be doomed.

"Crack!"

The Ancient God, unwilling to accept defeat, bit Yao Xing hard, then abruptly retreated, vanishing into cosmic space.

"Phew! Good thing I'm smart!"

At that moment, in a space within the middle of that huge hole, Lu Xun let out a long breath.

Just as he was about to be seized by the Ancient God, Lu Xun quickly used Chaotic Power to create a decoy of himself, launching it downward at speed.

He himself hid to the side.

This maneuver successfully diverted the Ancient God, allowing Lu Xun to escape disaster.

Once the Ancient God left, Lu Xun knew it would not return in the short term.

"There seems to be a prison below?"

Lu Xun stood at the edge of the huge hole, looking downward.

This hole is too deep.

When he observed it with the Heavenly Dao Eye, Lu Xun discovered that deep within this fissure there seemed to be a core prison.

"Teacher Fei..."

Moreover, he happened to see Fei Tai'a.

"The person Teacher Fei and the others are trying to rescue—could they be in the core prison?"

Lu Xun thought for a moment, then continued swiftly down this passage.

He decided to go take a look.

Now Yao Xing, with the Ancient God just departed, is in chaos above; perhaps we can seize this opportunity to help Fei Tai'a and the others complete their mission.

"Has it left?"

"Its brightness is fading; it must have left."

At this moment.

Outside Yao Xing, a group of Yao clan powerhouses gathered there, still shaken, gazing at the distant blinking star.

Unlike before, the brightness of that star is steadily decreasing.

This indicates the Ancient God is swiftly receding.

"Phew!"

One Yao clan powerhouse exhaled, breaking out in a cold sweat from fright.

The other Yao clan powerhouses were no better off.

Some Yao clan powerhouses even felt a sense of utter bodily exhaustion.

They were all powerhouses above the Eight Realms, yet they were frightened into this state.

No way,

The sense of oppression brought by the Ancient God is a bit too strong.

These Yao clan experts, upon saying that the Ancient God had already departed, dared to fly back to Yao Xing.

"Oh my god..."

Upon flying back, these Yao clan experts were each about to cry.

Because the current Yao Xing is just too miserable to even mention.

On the surface of Yao Xing, deep fissures are everywhere, over half the mountains have collapsed, the rivers and seas have flooded, and it's a scene of utter chaos.

On one side of Yao Xing, the Ancient God has also scooped out a giant pit of unknown depth.

This pit is over a hundred kilometers in diameter and bottomless.

These are not the most fatal.

The most fatal thing is that, after the Ancient God took a few bites out of Yao Xing's heavenly dao, it has become extremely weak.

Moreover, the Ancient God has devoured a great deal of Yao Xing's origin.

On the opposite side of Yao Xing's surface, with that final bite, the Ancient God swallowed every living thing within a range of several hundred kilometers.

It also gouged out a chunk from Yao Xing itself.

This includes a towering tree reaching hundreds of kilometers in height.

This tree is Yao Xing's guardian treasure; there aren't even a few of them on the whole Yao Xing.

"How could this happen!"

Such a miserable Yao Xing has brought many Yao clan experts to tears.
