Chapter 428: The Primordial Ancestor of the Star Abyss

A corner of the Star Abyss, like an endless shadow, spread forth, completely engulfing the newborn Shanhai Realm, as if intent on devouring it entirely.

Or perhaps, without the protection of the primordial universe’s power, the Shanhai Realm would truly have been swallowed by the Star Abyss.

And the ancient Primordial Ancestor, towering beyond measure, stepped forward, walking atop layer upon layer of the Star Abyss.

His immense body, exceeding one hundred thousand light-years in height, did not even move a limb—merely the natural aura radiating from his form formed a domain that stretched across tens of millions of light-years!

The outer cosmic membrane of the Shanhai Realm was torn open by a horrifying, jagged wound, nearly one hundred million light-years in length.

When the powerful figures from all sides noticed this scene, they all froze in place.

“The Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor is attacking Lin Qing?”

“This… why didn’t the Void God Clan’s Realm God intervene?”

“This is terrifying… this is the power of the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor?”

“The mighty Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor is personally targeting Lin Qing?”

“Could it be because of Lin Qing’s breakthrough?”

“He’s dead.”

“What a pity—such an unparalleled genius, just reaching the peak, only to perish.”

All powerful figures were stunned; the human race felt confusion, regret, resentment, and fury… while the enemy races felt relief, sorrow, and excitement.

But no one dared to intervene.

Before the Primordial Realm’s fall, when the horror of the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor was still unknown, perhaps someone might have tried to step forward—but even the former strongest human, the Master of the Primordial Realm, had perished, and the Primordial Realm itself had been destroyed. Who would dare stand against the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor?

“The Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor is about to strike Lin Qing?”

Light King also froze, his heart filled with urgent anxiety; he immediately sent a message to the Future Realm God.

With his strength, he could not possibly hold back the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor for even an instant—attempting to intervene would only mean certain death, so he could only hope the Future Realm God would act.

Yet he could guess that Lin Qing must have achieved a breakthrough similar to that of the former Primordial Realm’s Princess Su, which is why the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor had targeted him.

Even the Pillar-level Cosmic Treasures had been destroyed—how could Lin Qing possibly resist?

“Will the Realm God not intervene?”

Light King’s face darkened; he felt utterly powerless, his eyes filled with sorrow. “Just like the Primordial Realm… exactly the same situation…”

Though he was the Lord of the Divine Nation, the gap between him and the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor was simply too vast.

He knew the Realm God had no intention of saving him, yet he still clung to a sliver of hope and dared to ask.

To put it simply…

No one in the entire human race could save Lin Qing!

The human high command was also stunned.

Had the newly born peak powerhouse already reached his end?

Yet all they could do was watch from afar—there was simply no time to intervene!

“Boom!”

The ancient Primordial Ancestor took one step and entered the newborn Shanhai Realm; his terrifying power instantly shattered every star within tens of millions of light-years.

His towering form, exceeding one hundred thousand light-years in height, was even larger than an entire galaxy!

Space-time across nearly one hundred million light-years collapsed and shattered; even the chaotic void layers twisted and cracked—yet the ancient Primordial Ancestor had not even moved a finger; this was merely the domain’s power summoned by his will!

In an instant, the ancient Primordial Ancestor’s domain erupted into a boundless, roaring flood, annihilating everything within nearly one hundred million light-years!

Had the newborn Shanhai Realm already harbored life, this single surge alone would have wiped out countless beings.

All powerful figures observing the Shanhai Realm held their breath at the sight.

Even the lords of high-tier divine nations would be utterly annihilated by such a cataclysmic flood!

Perhaps… only those possessing a Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure might have a chance to survive?

At that moment—

“Hmph!”

A cold snort echoed throughout the Shanhai Realm, and the small universe trembled as its boundless primordial cosmic power erupted in fury; a hazy luminous domain descended, instantly enveloping the entire Shanhai Realm!

In an instant, the ancient Primordial Ancestor’s domain shrank drastically—from nearly one hundred million light-years down to less than one million light-years.

All powerful figures observing the Shanhai Realm froze, staring in disbelief.

Lin Qing… had he just suppressed the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor within his domain?

Even with the boost of his home universe’s endless primordial power, one still needed sufficient strength to summon such vast cosmic energy!

“Hmm?”

The ancient Primordial Ancestor frowned slightly.

But he paid it no mind; he immediately extended his hand, and a colossal arm, spanning tens of thousands of light-years, reached toward the core of the Shanhai Realm universe.

Destroy the home universe of the Divine Nation’s Lord, and without the Divine Nation’s support to replenish primordial energy, even a Divine Nation Lord would become nothing more than an ordinary ultimate being once his internal cosmic energy was exhausted!

With his strength, a single strike could shatter the core of a small universe!

“Get out!”

At that moment, a furious roar echoed through the Shanhai Realm as boundless power surged together, and a towering World God, equally over one hundred thousand light-years tall, materialized before the ancient Primordial Ancestor!

And deep within the layers of spacetime at the forehead of this towering World God stood Lin Qing, with a dark-gold nine-tiered pyramid hovering above his head.

The instant this World God, equal in stature to the ancient Primordial Ancestor, appeared, he immediately kicked out with his foot toward the ancient Primordial Ancestor!

“Boom—!”

As space-time shattered and the chaotic void layers split open with terrifying fissures spanning hundreds of millions of miles, the full force of that kick struck the ancient Primordial Ancestor squarely!

The ancient Primordial Ancestor’s expression changed slightly; his body trembled, and he stepped backward three times in succession.

Each step left deep depressions and cracks in the chaotic void layers; after three steps, he had shattered the cosmic membrane and retreated out of the Shanhai Realm.

“Hmm?” The ancient Primordial Ancestor frowned.

With his strength, against any being other than the other five Cosmic Gods, he needed at most one or two moves.

Even the former Master of the Primordial Realm—he had merely taken slight care to destroy his Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure, then delivered a casual strike that killed him and obliterated the Primordial Realm!

But just now…

He had guessed the opponent was likely the strongest Divine Nation Lord in history, and had unleashed his full power!

Yet the result was still that he was slightly at a disadvantage?

Even accounting for the boost of his home universe’s primordial energy, this was terrifying.

“Indeed…”

The ancient Primordial Ancestor’s expression darkened. “So this is a Divine Nation Lord who transformed through the Chaotic Ultimate Rule… how powerful he is…”

He was stunned within, and all the powerful civilizations watching this battle were even more awestruck.

Primordial Ancestor versus Realm God.

These six Cosmic Gods were absolute, invincible beings beyond all others—no matter the opponent, they crushed them effortlessly, towering above all, watching over countless lives like gods.

No matter how brilliant a genius, before these six, was merely a slightly stronger ant.

But…

This newly born human powerhouse, less than one hundred million years old, had just… directly repelled the Star Abyss Primordial Ancestor?

It was as if a human, stomping on an ant, suddenly found the ant possessed boundless strength—not only holding up the human’s foot, but flipping the human onto the ground.

An utterly unbelievable miracle!

“Can a Divine Nation Lord become this strong?”

“Could it be… the legendary Chaotic Ultimate Rule?”
