Chapter 1636: with translation of chapter title

Black Tortoise Seal, activate.

With a low shout from the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, everyone saw a huge Black Tortoise phantom appear in the surrounding space.

This Black Tortoise is a divine beast from legend, though in reality no one has ever seen it; it is said to be a mysterious creature that existed only in ancient times.

After the Black Tortoise phantom appeared, everyone was enveloped within it, as if inside the belly of the Black Tortoise divine beast, tightly protected.

And with the appearance of the Black Tortoise phantom, the Yongye residual wave was completely blocked outside.

Seeing this, someone let out a sigh of relief, but the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and the four others, along with a host of Yongye assassins, now wore complex expressions.

The Azure Dragon Hall Master even whispered.

"The Old Ancestor has even unleashed the Four Sacred Seals."

"Not only that, he's using them at full power."

Hearing this, the Black Tortoise Hall Master's face showed the most remarkable expression as he spoke.

The Four Sacred Seals are the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's signature technique, and the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and his three companions have actually each learned one of those seals from him.

One could even say that Yongye's four great halls are named after these Four Sacred Seals.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master learned the Vermilion Bird Seal, the Azure Dragon Hall Master learned the Azure Dragon Seal, and the White Tiger Hall Master learned the White Tiger Seal.

And the Black Tortoise Hall Master learned the Black Tortoise Seal.

Therefore, when facing the Black Tortoise Seal unleashed by the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, the Black Tortoise Hall Master is the most familiar with it.

This Black Tortoise Seal is the strongest defensive means among the Four Sacred Seals, famed as being unbreakable by anything.

And the Black Tortoise Seal now unleashed by the Eternal Night Old Ancestor has a defensive power that is several times stronger than that of the Black Tortoise Hall Master's own Black Tortoise Seal.

It's obvious the Old Ancestor held nothing back, and precisely because of that, the Black Tortoise Hall Master is so shocked.

Merely to resist the residual wave of that sky-shaking cannon, the Old Ancestor went all out with the Black Tortoise Seal, showing how terrifying that residual wave is.

Even the residual wave can push an Ancestor Realm existence like the Eternal Night Old Ancestor to this extent, so the power of that sky-shaking cannon....................

Hearing the Black Tortoise Hall Master's words, everyone's gazes involuntarily turned toward the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others.

It felt as if they were saying, 'The power of that sky-shaking cannon doesn't match what you told us earlier.'

Earlier, according to what the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and company said, the power of that sky-shaking cannon was equivalent to a full-strength strike from an Emperor Sovereign expert.

But now, with just one shot, even the residual wave forces the Ancestor Realm existence of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor to go all out to block it.

Could this possibly be something a full-strength strike from an Emperor Sovereign expert could achieve?

The power of that sky-shaking cannon exceeds imagination by far too much.

Facing the gazes of everyone, the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others spoke somewhat innocently.

"We don't know either; the sky-shaking cannon was just newly developed, we haven't tested it yet, we only estimated its power wouldn't be small."

"This is also the first attempt."

Although no one spoke, the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others already understood what everyone was thinking from their gazes.

Just hearing that explanation, everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, giving a look that said, 'Do you really expect us to believe you?'

Just as everyone was stunned, the huge sky-shaking cannon that had originally been in that position began to annihilate bit by bit, starting from the muzzle.

The entire muzzle gradually turned to nothingness, as if forcibly erased by something.

Watching the sky-shaking cannon disappear bit by bit, the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor grew somewhat panicked.

"This.......... sky-shaking cannon."

To develop this sky-shaking cannon, the three great alliances had even put their entire fortunes on the line, yet now, after firing a single shot, the cannon inexplicably began to vanish.

However, in just a few breaths, the muzzle had already disappeared completely.

This kid, the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others were frantic, their hearts bleeding, while beside them the Eternal Night Old Ancestor calmly said.

"With such power, it's likely the sky-shaking cannon couldn't withstand it and was directly destroyed."

"Cannot withstand it?"

Hearing that, the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others were on the verge of tears.

The sky-shaking cannon, forged at such great cost, is gone after just one shot?

Doesn't that mean the sky-shaking cannon is a single-use magical treasure?

But have you ever seen a one-time-use artifact that costs so much to make and requires seventy million top-grade spirit stones per shot?

Who the hell can afford that?

Seeing the grim faces of the Artifact Master Alliance's Old Ancestor and the others, the surrounding people all fell silent.

Just moments ago they were shocked by the power of the sky-shaking cannon; now they are shocked by its exorbitant cost.

Not to mention the spirit stones needed for one shot; now even the sky-shaking cannon itself has become a one-time-use artifact—this is absurd.

One shot and it's gone, while the resources spent to forge the sky-shaking cannon are an astronomical sum.

It even far exceeds the figure of seventy million top-grade spirit stones.

Combined, even Yongye and the Nine Nether Realm, which are among the strongest forces in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, would still shake their heads in disbelief.

After a quiet calculation, it seems even they couldn't afford this thing.

Everyone's hearts were filled with complex feelings, while elsewhere, a million li away in the Demon Realm, which had originally been perfectly normal,

but suddenly, as a golden light rapidly approached, the Demon Realm's ancestral elder suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of surprise crossing his gaze.

"Who made a move?"

As an Ancestor Realm existence, the Demon Realm's ancestral elder naturally sensed the terrifying threat of the sky-shaking cannon; as soon as it neared the Demon Realm, he detected that terrifying aura.

Immediately, above the Demon Realm, a phantom of the Demon Realm's ancestral elder appeared, immensely huge, its extent even reaching the skies above the Wújìn Xīnghǎi.

This sudden change left all the Demon Realm's powerhouses stunned.

Afterward, the voice of the Demon Realm's ancestral elder echoed in the skies above the Demon Realm, his tone solemn.

"Prepare to meet the enemy."

Meet the enemy???

Upon hearing this, all the mighty demons were stunned. What's going on? Is an enemy attacking? But they hadn't received any news at all.

However, since it was the patriarch's order, the many mighty demons naturally dared not be careless.

First, the numerous demon emperors all shot up into the sky, preparing to strike at any moment.

Afterward, the demon warriors below also closely followed.

Having already arrived above the Demon Realm, the demon patriarch stood proudly above the Wújìn Xīnghǎi, behind him a huge phantom of himself, standing tall like a giant.

Demonic aura surged around him, yet his gaze was fixed firmly on the distant Wújìn Xīnghǎi.

It appeared tranquil, as if nothing was there, but the demon patriarch knew that terrifying attack was now pressing toward the Demon Realm.

Merely a trace of that terrifying pressure spreading out made the demon patriarch feel his heart palpitate.

He dared not be the slightest bit careless in his heart, merely guessing silently.

"Just who is it."

Such a terrifying attack could only be carried out by an existence of the same ancestral level as him—but who could have struck?

Is it that old geezer from Yongye, or the old geezer from the Netherworld? Or perhaps they joined forces to attack?
