Chapter 1740: Little Tricks in Battle

Knowing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's temperament, upon hearing his mocking words at this moment, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor also couldn't be bothered to argue, simply turning grief and anger into strength.

Alongside the God Clan Old Ancestor and a few others, they all engaged in fierce combat with this corpse.

Although the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's mouth showed no mercy, his attacks were equally unambiguous, holding back nothing; clearly he was also going all out.

Speaking of which, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor also clearly understood that if they were defeated, not only would Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing die, but Ye Zhangqing and his two companions would also be doomed.

Don't think that Ye Zhangqing and his two companions are protected by the Lock Heaven Grand Formation now.

Yet the Lock Heaven Grand Formation can be broken even by a crowd of Ancestor Realm experts, given enough time, let alone this corpse whose strength is even greater.

Give it a little time, and this Lock Heaven Grand Formation is actually not very useful.

The sole chance of survival, just as Ye Zhangqing guessed, is that because the Lock Heaven Grand Formation blocks detection, this corpse hasn't sensed the presence of Ye Zhangqing and his two companions, so there might still be an opportunity to escape calamity.

But this is a matter of probability—who would dare to gamble? Moreover, it's putting one's entire life and fortune into the opponent's hands, which is even less reliable.

Therefore, if there is a choice, it's definitely to first think of a way to kill this corpse.

As for beating up the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor badly, that would just be adding icing on the cake, purely disgusting.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor is just talking.

At this moment, facing the combined attack of six Ancestor Realm beings, this corpse clearly no longer has its previous might.

The six surrounded it completely, various attacks incessantly bombarding this corpse's body; its self-healing ability, which it previously prided itself on, while still formidable at this moment, clearly has a slower recovery speed.

All six noticed this change, and the God Clan Old Ancestor and his two companions were the most delighted.

After all, they had previously been made to feel extremely stifled by this corpse's terrifying self-healing ability.

Clearly this thing neither dodges nor avoids; it just charges straight ahead, allowing attacks to land easily.

It indeed could inflict damage, but this thing basically isn't afraid of those attacks at all; relying on its terrifying self-healing ability, the previous attacks of the God Clan Old Ancestor and his three companions were basically useless.

When struck, it would suffer injury, but in the next second the opponent would be healed, leaving people feeling frustrated.

However, now with the addition of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, this corpse's self-healing ability is obviously weakened.

This shows that this thing's terrifying self-healing ability also has a limit; exceeding that limit renders it ineffective just the same.

Having confirmed this, the six all saw hope—just need to be able to kill it, fearing only that it might be an immortal body.

However, having lived so many years, the God Clan Old Ancestor and his companions also do not believe there is such a thing as an immortal body in this world.

Just like in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, many factions claim their own cultivation methods can produce an immortal body.

Many cultivators who have just begun the path of cultivation, or whose cultivation level and insight are insufficient, might still wholeheartedly believe this, after all that method is indeed formidable.

But for those at the level of the God Clan Old Ancestor and his companions, that's all nonsense.

Looking across the entire Zhu Tian Wan Jie, even the strongest cultivation methods at most merely increase the physical body, enhance defense, or enhance self-healing ability.

Where would there be any so-called immortal body? If such a method truly existed, it would have long since dominated the entire Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

The self-healing ability of this corpse before our eyes obviously also has a limit; as long as there is a limit, it's easy to discuss.

What the six need to do now is break that limit; as long as the balance is broken, there will be a chance to slay this thing.

Thus, the six's offensive becomes ever more fierce, giving this corpse not even a moment to catch its breath.

Even relying on their numerical advantage, the six all began choosing to trade wounds for wounds.

After all, the six are all divine soul avatars; even if they are shattered, it matters little to their true selves and poses no threat to their lives.

Resolving this corpse before our eyes as soon as possible is the most important.

The braver they fought, the more the battle situation began to slowly turn; the corpse that had originally placed great pressure on the God Clan Old Ancestor and his four companions was gradually suppressed by the six.

Seeing the corpse being suppressed, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, who had been watching from afar, finally could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now there shouldn't be any more surprises, right?"

Tian Xing sighed inwardly.

Since encountering this corpse upon venturing deep into the Path to Immortality, he and Qing Shen Ji have been chased by it all the way.

It's practically like a stubborn plaster, showing a posture of refusing to let up until they are killed.

In order to escape from this corpse's grasp, who knows what Tian Xing and Qing Shen Ji have endured.

Now seeing this thing gradually suppressed by the six Old Ancestors, Tian Xing feels a sense of exhilaration.

But the opponent is clearly just a corpse, yet he is matching strength with a corpse.

But regardless, seeing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and his six companions seize the initiative is a good thing for everyone present.

And the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and his six, in the fierce battle, naturally could feel this more clearly; for a time, the six grew braver with each fight.

Having seen a chance to win, the six naturally could not give this corpse before them any opportunity to turn the tide.

"With one sustained effort, kill it."

The God Clan Old Ancestor even shouted coldly, completely disregarding the condition of this divine soul avatar.

Having bluntly taken two strikes from this corpse, it's clearly visible that the God Clan Old Ancestor's divine soul avatar has already developed fine cracks.

Moreover, with every gesture, it seems that specks of golden powder are scattering.

This is a sign that the divine soul avatar is gradually collapsing, but the God Clan Old Ancestor couldn't care less; even if the divine soul avatar is destroyed, it's fine as long as we can kill this corpse before our eyes.

Upon hearing this, the others said nothing, merely attacking with even greater ferocity.

However, in the fierce battle, unlike the others, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, while attacking, glanced sideways at Ye Zhangqing within the Lock Heaven Grand Formation without changing his expression.

His eyes were full of icy killing intent.

At this moment, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor was hatching a plan in his heart.

Now the other five are desperately trying to slay this corpse, their divine soul avatars each having suffered varying degrees of damage.

Basically, they are already showing signs of impending disintegration.

To slay this corpse, paying a price is definitely necessary.

And after the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor noticed this, he suddenly thought: if he lets the divine soul avatars of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and his five companions perish together with this corpse,

then at that time his own divine soul avatar would remain, meaning no one could stop him on the Path to Immortality.

When the time comes, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and his group won't be able to get in, while wouldn't he be free to do as he pleases here?

Including breaking the Formation, killing Ye Zhangqing, that would also be an easy task.

As soon as this idea appeared, it made the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor overjoyed; he never expected that it would also give him such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

Killing Ye Zhangqing is, after all, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor's currently sole top priority.
