Chapter 745: Heavenly Shang Ancestor Yan Bo, Immortal Qin First E Lai

Moreover, after the New Heaven, he was not without origin. The Heavenly Shang Divine Dynasty was built by his descendants. The foundation of a dynasty was all out, I fear the Heavenly Court would be shocked. At this moment, the "Xuan Bird" echoed, and the feudal lords and sons of heaven of the Heavenly Zhou in the Nine Serenities had no reaction, which can be seen.

Not to mention anything else, just Cheng Tang striking, Qian Chen would have to retreat three times!

The thirty-one emperors of the Heavenly Shang were even stronger in the Nine Serenities than the Heavenly Zhou...

The chanting sound was full of distance and vastness, as if coming from that most ancient era, and at the same time carried a trace of unwilling desolation.

That was the desolation of the human race's collapse when the Five-Colored Divine Court perished, and the unwillingness of the Heavenly Shang's defeat and replacement by the Zong Zhou supported by the Guang Cheng Dao Venerable under the order of the Primordial Dao Ancestor!

That ancient-looking figure walked slowly out of the Nine Serenities, countless merchant souls kowtowed, forming a road...

When he stepped onto the Yinhe, all the Primordial Spirit True Immortals remarkably changed color. This figure was not tall, but the aura made them tremble and shake, carrying the ancient and vast Old Heaven laws, giving them a feeling of being pressed down, stronger and more powerful than any cultivator seen in the Central Lands in the past million years, and even Xu Fu could not compare with him.

The face under the golden mask was as calm as water...

This Daoist Lord of the Old Heaven, a remnant soul of the Nine Serenities, actually brought such terrifying pressure to a Daoist Lord like him.

And he didn't even dare to resist, because once he struck, this deity didn't need to press down with the Heavenly Shang, Cheng Tang Heavenly Emperor could easily suppress him into the Nine Serenities!

And below the Primordial Spirit True Immortal, other cultivators didn't know why, seeing this scene, they were almost trembling.

Who exactly was this deity summoned by the bronze statue?

I fear that even if the Heavenly Emperor descended, he wouldn't have such a terrifying lineup!

Many people looked at the twelve bronze deities, remembering what Xu Fu and the Dragon King had said, that these twelve bronze deities were all the most top-notch witch gods of the past. If they were all existences of this level, then what kind of existence was the one who laid out this plan in the Return to Ruins, receiving the remnant souls.

What was his intention in laying out this plan?

Yu Changsheng's body trembled, gritting his teeth: "What does the Heavenly Shang want to do? Yan Bo had already fallen in the ancient times. Although he is the ancestor of the Heavenly Shang, the Heavenly Shang had no way to revive him even at its peak, and could only canonize him as the Fire God and reshape Yan Bo!"

"Summoning the true spirit of the Shang Ancestor this time, what do they want to do? Want

"What is dead is already dead; even if Cheng Tang were to be reborn, it would only invite the wrath of heaven and earth! Let alone the remnant soul of the old heaven, how could it stand under the new heaven!"

His voice trembled, but it pierced a reality: after Tai Shang merged with the Dao, the laws of heaven and earth had changed! Even the ancient Divine Emperors could not be resurrected, let alone a past Emperor.

This time, a group of Primordial Spirits somewhat believed that this arrangement was the handiwork of the two Demon Ancestors.

Because to summon twelve such great beings as the Merchant Ancestors, only an existence of the Demon Ancestor level would have such means...

The Merchant Ancestors' demon souls came against the Nine Heavens Yinhe. At this moment, the cultivators finally realized for what kind of existence this Bone Ferry had been built. In the Yinhe, waves of bones suddenly surged, and one by one, Witch Gods drove the hundreds of millions of bones under their command, rushing toward the long bridge!

An extremely tall corpse, radiating a cruel and tyrannical aura, drove the hundreds of millions of bones, its long halberd dancing in its hand, obscuring the sun and moon.

He led countless soldiers of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty, driving countless slaves.

Those slaves sacrificed by the merchants to the Witch Gods could not escape enslavement even in the Nine Heavens. Looking closely, the cultivation of those slaves was formidable, not a whit inferior to the others, and among them were many Primordial Spirit cultivators!

There were even Daoist cultivators clad in tattered robes, Buddhist cultivators who had achieved golden bodies, Heavenly Humans born with strange phenomena, dragon-like divine crocodile bones, and phoenixes clad in colorful feathers; but even the True Dragons and Phoenixes were merely beasts raised by this Witch God.

The Witch God stepped onto the bone long bridge, and the soldiers under his command drove the slaves onto the bridge, where they immediately disintegrated into endless bones.

One saw countless corpses suddenly fly up with a clatter, one after another merging into this long bridge. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of corpses were all swallowed by the long bridge, strengthening the power of this bridge by more than several times.

Xiao Yu looked up at this tall Witch God and muttered: "I finally know where so many skeletons of this bone long bridge came from!"

The old Daoist's expression also changed drastically, and he said with difficulty: "If every time a Nine Heavens Demon God is summoned, there are endless bones to pave this bridge, then as the Bone Ferry welcomes more and more Demon Gods, it will become increasingly powerful!"

"The first Demon God was the most difficult, but it was much easier for this Merchant Ancestor. In this way, wouldn't the speed of summoning Nine Heavens Demon Gods become faster and faster?"

"In that case, I fear the time for this game to be completed will be much faster than we imagined!"

"That is not what is important!" Xiao Yu's tone carried a chill as she said: "What is important is, how many Demon Gods has this bridge already summoned?"

"One, this is the second!"

Suddenly, a strange person wearing a golden mask spoke. He seemed quite interested in Xiao Yu, pointing at the divine demon with open eyes among the twelve bronze statues standing at the very front: "I already know who that first one is! The ambition of this game's layout is too great; I fear the intention is to change the world after a million years, but... the tribulation of the new heaven is not easy to pass!"

"This Merchant Ancestor is not the same as the first divine demon! Although he has the help of the Heavenly Merchants, wanting to pass the tribulation of the new heaven is also..."

A light chuckle came from under the golden mask.

"Unless... he abandons his Dao Fruit and starts over!" Qian Chen sighed quietly from the side; this was the condition he had offered to the Heavenly Merchants and to Zi Xie.

Tai Shang merged with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao changed drastically! The change in laws was so great that although this Dao Lord of the old days had walked very far on the path of the Great Dao, almost touching the Divine Emperor (Dao Venerable) realm, the change in the Heavenly Dao meant that even having walked so far, the change in his foundation made his Dao Fruit flawed. Once resurrected, not to mention the crushing pressure of the new heaven, his own Dao Fruit would be enough to crush him.

Although Qian Chen's decree as Tai Shang could allow him to obtain the recognition of the new heaven, such a flaw in the Great Dao was unavoidable.

Therefore, Qian Chen's condition for summoning Yan Bo was to let him abandon his old Dao Fruit and start over, and even to no longer be the Yan Bo, Merchant Ancestor, or Zi Qi of the past, but to be completely reborn and become "Zhu Rong"!

Therefore, that call to the true spirit—"Zi Xie!"

Actually contained the call of the Dao Dust Bead, the Kunlun Mirror, the Cauldron of Creation, and the Golden Man Zhu Jiuyin—Zhu Rong!

This was not possession and rebirth, nor was it reincarnation; this was truly abandoning the past and becoming a brand-new existence. That was why Cheng Tang came to send him off, and why the countless ghosts and gods of the Heavenly Merchants sang the "Xuan Bird" so bleakly; they were sending this ancestor to bury everything and open a brand-new life.

This was Cheng Tang's tacit approval and support, and also the Heavenly Merchants' blessing to their ancestor!

That powerful ghost and god, after sacrificing those slaves to form the bridge, swept a glance at them on the bridge and suddenly waved his halberd: "Kill them! As slaves, sacrifice them for the descent of my ancestor!"

"Oh no!"

Seeing it lower its head to look at them, the old Daoist couldn't help but slap his thigh and say: "Legend has it that during the Heavenly Merchant era, the Witch Gods were barbaric and brutal, fond of blood sacrifice! Now that they have sunk into the Nine Heavens, I fear they are even more tyrannical!"

Sure enough, before his words had even faded, the ghost and god had already swung its halberd.

Those ghost soldiers of the Heavenly Merchants also engaged in a fierce battle with the cultivators who had fallen to the very back. They had sunk into the Nine Heavens for a million years and had long since worn away their intelligence. Those like the ghost and god who could retain complete intelligence should be close to the Demon Lord level, so none of the crowd wanted to turn back to fight, and all fled forward.

Just kidding, even if they could defeat this incomparably powerful ghost and god, there was still the Fire God Yan Bo, welcomed by the entire Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty, waiting behind!

These witch-path ghost soldiers of the Heavenly Merchants attacked with great power. Often, a single swing of a halberd could sweep out a ray of dark light, shattering the cultivators' defensive divine abilities and making even the formidable corpses piled on the long bridge tremble.

The several offerings from Northern Wei seemed to look down on these existences that were clearly just Heavenly Merchant soldiers. After a brief engagement, seven or eight out of ten were dead. Those bronze halberds were incomparably powerful, engraved with terrifying witch curses; often, a single swing was enough to decapitate a Nascent Soul cultivator.

There was even an old man from a Southern Jin aristocratic family, at the Yang Spirit level, who was hoisted up by these witch soldiers working together with their long halberds, his body sliced into several pieces and butchered!

Xie An was at the rear, covering those aristocratic cultivators. One saw him waving the Nine Shao Tuning Sword in his hand, accompanied by the sound of rhyme, the sword qi condensing into sound threads that sliced through the void, even more formidable than the "Nie Zheng Assassinates Han Kui" sound-killing technique Qian Chen had learned from the Ji family.

Only then did they know that Xie An had already mastered the essence of Nie Zheng's sword technique and had also integrated the great divine ability "Guangling San" created by Ji Kang, reaching a realm even superior to that of Ji Kang in the past.

Xie An relied on his own strength to confront more than a dozen witch soldiers. His sword qi crisscrossed, integrating into the rhythm like threads slicing through the void. With every wave, countless sound threads sliced through space, tearing the bodies of several witch soldiers into powder and slicing them into countless fragments.

But he attracted the attention of that powerful ghost and god. The ghost and god held double halberds and swung them casually, shattering the dense sound web.

The ghost and god raised its arms and swung the short halberd heavily. One saw the bone long bridge suddenly turn snow-white. The halberd blade sliced open the void for hundreds of miles, decapitating dozens of cultivators who had fallen behind all at once, and pressed straight toward Xie An!

Chi!

Xie An's expression changed drastically, and he tried his best to raise his sword to block in front of him, only to be swung into the sky by the ghost and god along with his entire body. The short halberd almost locked the long sword in his hand; had the Nine Shao Tuning Sword not had a unique shape, gathering and dispersing without form, he would have been disarmed under a single halberd strike.

Even so, Xie An was forced to reveal his Primordial Spirit cultivation before he could escape in a sorry state.

"Eh?"

The powerful ghost and god raised its eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised that Xie An could escape from under its halberd strike.

At this moment, only Xie An knew the terror of that casual strike from the ghost and god just now. And at this time, Xu Fu, wearing the golden mask, did not make a move. He stared at that ghost and god, seemingly harboring a deep dread, one that had nothing to do with cultivation, but rather...

"E Lai!"

Xie An said solemnly, calling out the name of that ghost and god... E Lai, the ghost and god who died in battle during the Heavenly Zhou's replacement of the Shang!

This deity was one of the Dao Lords under Emperor Zhou during his lifetime, and after death, he still retained some of his former majesty. But what was most terrifying was that this person was the ancestor of the Immortal Qin Ying clan. He was loyal to the Heavenly Merchants, and even after sinking into the Nine Heavens, he still served under Cheng Tang, not taking pride in his identity as the ancestor of the Immortal Qin.

"Go!"

Xu Fu snorted coldly, signaling to the group of Penglai disciples.

But at this moment, E Lai had already noticed him. Seeing the Penglai starship, the expression in his eyes changed. He cast his gaze toward Xu Fu, who was wearing the golden mask, and suddenly said: "I remember you; it seems to be trouble caused by those unworthy descendants of mine. Forget it! While the Merchant Ancestor steps out of the Nine Heavens, I will clear away a trouble for them!"

Having said that, he swung his double halberds, severing the Yinhe and cutting across the long bridge.

Intersecting, the double halberds headed toward Xu Fu...

At this moment, the ghost and witch soldiers of the Heavenly Merchants, led by dozens of existences at the Witch God level, killed their way toward the crowd. At this moment, the group of cultivators who had broken into the Return to Ruins only hated that their parents hadn't given them two more legs.

Those Witch Gods, each equivalent to Primordial Spirit cultivation, commanded those terrifying witch soldiers and were simply invincible!
