Chapter 767: Death Trap! The Dreamy Dark Annihilation Realm (6k)

They had encountered ambushes several times in succession, each time by White Ancient Spirits at the Emperor Realm level.

During the last ambush, there even appeared a Bai Guling nearly at the peak Emperor Realm, plus over twenty ordinary Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits.

This battle forced both the Starry Sky God Emperor and the Juexing God Emperor to fully erupt.

Especially the Starry Sky God Emperor, who truly displayed the uniqueness of the Time-Space Dao; his control over the battlefield was simply unique.

He managed to lead Li Yuan and the Juexing God Emperor out of the heavy siege.

Until they completely shook off the tracking of that large group of Ancient Spirits.

"Something is wrong."

"We have only entered the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe for one day, and we haven't even entered the Ancient Ruin Seas yet. How could we attract so many Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits?" Both the Starry Sky God Emperor and the Juexing God Emperor felt unable to understand.

Under normal circumstances, as a branch Void River, logically speaking, they might not even encounter one Emperor Realm Ancient Spirit after traveling for several months.

How could there be so many Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits?

If that were the case, throughout the endless years, how many low-rank Quasi-Saints who came to roam the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe could have survived and left?

"Alliance Leader, according to my experience, there are two possibilities," the Starry Sky God Emperor said in a low voice. "One possibility is that the area where we landed happens to be the core territory of an Ancient Spirit tribe."

"Only in the core territory can there be so many Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits. If it were a peripheral area, it would generally be dominated by Ancient Spirits with the strength of Third or Fourth-Rank Quasi-Saints."

"Behind an Ancient Spirit tribe, there must be Black Ancient Spirits," the Starry Sky God Emperor said solemnly.

An Ancient Spirit tribe? Li Yuan was thoughtful. White Ancient Spirits had low intelligence, so most of them would be ruled by Black Ancient Spirits. Gathering in large numbers would form relatively fixed territories, which was what cosmic practitioners called Ancient Spirit tribes.

Each Ancient Spirit tribe would occupy a vast territory.

"Moreover, I don't know why, but we have been focused on by this Ancient Spirit tribe," the Starry Sky God Emperor looked at Li Yuan. "Logically speaking, my display of peak Emperor Realm strength should be enough to deter this group of White Ancient Spirits, yet they still charged up regardless of their lives, violating their instincts."

The reason?

Although Li Yuan couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, he could probably guess that it was likely because of himself, after all, the Starry Sky God Emperor and the Juexing God Emperor were not coming to the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe for the first time.

"What is the other possibility?" Li Yuan asked.

"A Supreme Ancient Spirit is on patrol, and the Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm is accompanying it." A trace of imperceptible fear flashed in the Starry Sky God Emperor's eyes.

A Supreme Ancient Spirit? Li Yuan's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

White Ancient Spirits generally could only reach the Sovereign level at their strongest, but Black Ancient Spirits, evolving continuously over long years, were possible to reach the Supreme level.

They were called 'Supreme Ancient Spirits'.

Each Supreme Ancient Spirit would occupy a vast territory, and their unique innate divine ability could allow them to open up a special Ruin Realm, also known as an 'Ancient Ruin Realm' or 'Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm'.

Occasionally, a Supreme Ancient Spirit would lead its subordinate Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm and a large number of Ancient Spirits to roam various parts of the Ancient Ruin Seas and even the branch Void Rivers, attracting countless Ancient Spirit tribes to follow.

The momentum was massive.

And the foreign practitioners along the way would all be swept away.

It could be said that even a Sovereign, if they encountered a Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol head-on, would definitely die. This was also a catastrophe for practitioners in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe.

If you ran into it, you were just unlucky.

According to the intelligence made public by various major cosmic forces, there should be more than ten 'Ancient Spirit Ruin Realms' in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe today. Perhaps there were still Ancient Spirit Ruin Realms in some mysterious areas of the Ancient Ruin Seas, but they had not yet appeared in the world.

One Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm represented one Supreme Ancient Spirit.

One could imagine the prosperity of the Ancient Spirit race. They were the true masters of the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe. However, the powerhouses of the Ancient Spirit race could never leave the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe.

Back then.

Supreme Beihe possessed such great power and was almost recognized as the number one person in the universe. Besides destroying the eight Great Immortal Demon Caves, another important reason was that he had once killed his way into an Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm alone, swept across all directions with absolute strength, and finally killed an Ancient Spirit Supreme.

Thus, his fame was forged!

"If it really is a Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol, then we must hurry up and flee," Li Yuan said in a low voice.

Whoosh!

The three of them didn't dare to delay any longer. Even the Starry Sky God Emperor didn't hesitate to consume a huge amount of divine power, continuously erupting and moving forward at an astonishing speed.

What Li Yuan and his companions didn't know was that in an area not too far from them, that water mansion was also tracking them at a terrifying speed.

"The speed of escape has increased. Truly impressive. It should be an Emperor Realm powerhouse who has opened up the Time-Space Dao." That Black Ancient Spirit was coiled on a high throne.

Below, more than fifty Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits were crawling.

"What a pity."

"This is the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe, our world," the Black Ancient Spirit muttered to itself. "Competing with us in speed? Even an Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Time-Space Dao won't work."

As a Black Ancient Spirit at the peak Emperor Realm level, although it couldn't open up an 'Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm' like a Supreme Ancient Spirit, it had also refined a special water mansion.

The water mansion was its lair and also its most powerful magic treasure.

"Mojiou, Qing, according to the results of your several ambushes, among those three cosmic practitioners, there should be one peak Emperor Realm powerhouse, and the other's strength is close to the peak Emperor Realm?" The Black Ancient Spirit looked down at the White Ancient Spirits below.

These White Ancient Spirits nodded one after another, roughly describing the battle process.

"And that low-rank Quasi-Saint who radiates a special temptation revealed a strength of 'Sixth-Rank Quasi-Saint'?" The Black Ancient Spirit was thoughtful. "A low-rank Quasi-Saint can have the strength of the Sixth Rank, which is also very good, but what exactly is special about him?"

Up to now.

It had only confirmed the opponent's strength through the ambushes of its subordinate White Ancient Spirits.

But the "extremely tempting" that all the White Ancient Spirits said in unison—just how tempting it was remained a mystery to it.

"Let's act."

"No matter what, there are only two Emperor Realm practitioners, they can't turn the world upside down." This Black Ancient Spirit was determined to take action.

It was very cautious, but also very greedy.

After multiple rounds of probing, it believed it could take down the opponent, at least there wouldn't be any losses.

"They are traveling at such a super-high speed, their divine power consumption must be very large, and they won't be able to last too long," the Black Ancient Spirit said in a low voice. "We will drive the water mansion and catch up."

"As long as they slow down slightly, we will charge up. You all be ready for battle at any time."

In the surging river water, the Starry Sky God Emperor took Li Yuan and the Juexing God Emperor and flew at super-high speed for over three hours in one breath.

Only then did he slow down.

"Alliance Leader, we have fled so far. Except for encountering a few Quasi-Saints midway who avoided us from afar, we haven't encountered any other living beings," the Starry Sky God Emperor said. "If it really is a Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol, it has likely already avoided us."

"Let's continue moving forward," Li Yuan said.

The three of them still maintained a high speed, but they were still incomparably vigilant, preventing any ambushes that might come at any time.

"Could it really be a Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind. "However, there are no corresponding rumors at all."

A Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol was definitely a major event.

In the eighty-one Dark Domains of the universe, there were a large number of practitioners in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe. If it really were a Supreme Ancient Spirit on patrol, logically speaking, the news should have spread long ago.

"I hope it's just a coincidence," Li Yuan thought to himself.

If it really was him who provoked so many White Ancient Spirits, there would likely be more trouble later.

In the distant water area.

That water mansion was approaching at an astonishing speed, and the numerous White Ancient Spirits became incomparably excited, each with a trace of irrepressible exhilaration on their faces.

The leading Black Ancient Spirit also revealed a trace of redness on its silver-white face, and its eyes were full of longing: "Delicious!"

"It really is delicious."

"Even though we are so far apart, the slight scent I smell makes me feel incomparably comfortable, as if my soul is trembling. How can there be such a delicacy?" The Black Ancient Spirit was somewhat incredulous.

It had a feeling in the dark.

If it could kill and devour the opponent... it would likely be able to cross into the Sovereign level in one fell swoop. This was definitely a massive opportunity.

"An opportunity!"

"Must not miss it." A trace of scarlet appeared in the Black Ancient Spirit's eyes, and the desire surging in its heart also made it let go of its last trace of concern.

"Mojiou, Luru... you five each lead a team and kill from different directions. You must trap them."

"At the critical moment, I will kill my way out again," the Black Ancient Spirit said in a low voice.

"Yes, Leader."

"Go." The five Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits with more powerful auras all appeared incomparably excited and led the other White Ancient Spirits to act quickly.

The number of White Ancient Spirits under this Black Ancient Spirit was extremely large, reaching tens of thousands, but the vast majority had strength below the Fifth-Rank Quasi-Saint level and were scattered across a vast territory.

And for battles at this level, at least Emperor Realm powerhouses had to participate.

"Hmm?"

The Starry Sky God Emperor seemed to have sensed something, turned his head abruptly, and transmitted in a low voice: "Alliance Leader, Juexing, be careful, there's an ambush!"

"An ambush?"

"Again?" Both Li Yuan and the Juexing God Emperor were startled, and then they also sensed it. They saw that in the void in all directions.

Silver-white beast shadows with powerful auras appeared.

Their auras were vigorous, their bodies were huge, and in the vast water area where every drop of water was as heavy as a star, they seemed to have no obstacles, charging crazily.

"They are all Emperor Realm."

"They are Ancient Spirits, and they are all White Ancient Spirits."

"Most of them have ambushed us before, and now they are here again? And in greater numbers?" The Starry Sky God Emperor's expression was solemn to the extreme. "Alliance Leader, Juexing, the situation is not good. White Ancient Spirits generally won't repeatedly ambush enemies whose strength far exceeds their own."

"To be able to gather so many Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits, there must be a Black Ancient Spirit behind them."

"It's highly likely to be an Ancient Spirit tribe!" The Starry Sky God Emperor transmitted repeatedly: "Alliance Leader, we have to fight for our lives to have a chance to rush out."

The Juexing God Emperor also felt uneasy and transmitted: "Disciple, don't hesitate at the critical moment. Master will create an opportunity for you, hurry up and flee."

At this moment.

Both the Starry Sky God Emperor and the Juexing God Emperor felt a threat to their lives. More than fifty Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits, although they were all ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses, the sheer number was terrifying... even if the Starry Sky God Emperor was at the peak Emperor Realm, he might not be able to withstand it.

After all, the Starry Sky God Emperor had opened up the Time-Space Dao and was not too skilled in head-on combat, and he had only broken through not long ago.

"Let's meet the battle first," Li Yuan was very calm.

"Alliance Leader, worthy of being the Alliance Leader, he is calm in the face of danger," the Starry Sky God Emperor thought to himself. "That's fine. I have five true bodies, even if I lose one, it's not difficult to cultivate back... This time, even if I die in battle, I must send the Alliance Leader out. Being able to let the Alliance Leader remember this favor will bring greater benefits in the future."

The Starry Sky God Emperor figured it out in an instant.

This kind of life-and-death experience was not easy to encounter often. For him, who had already placed bets many times, this was not a crisis, but a rare opportunity.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than fifty Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits quickly killed their way to the front, most of them charging towards the Starry Sky God Emperor.

After all, after many probes before, the White Ancient Spirits had all determined that the Starry Sky God Emperor had the strongest strength.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" The two sides erupted into a fierce battle instantly. ===== CHAPTER 768 =====
