Chapter 140

"It is indeed Youchao Shi."

Feng Yi nodded and said, "I took Youchao Shi's ancestral god's body from the death city on Dragon Island; it can temporarily serve as your body, Shennong, allowing you to unleash the true power of an ancestral god."

"So that's how it is!"

Shennong nodded, neither refusing nor feeling unsuitable.

For the present Kyushu, every bit of combat power is precious.

"However, Fuxi, you just said that two foreign ancestral gods remain in the four realms; even if I recover my ancestral god's power and add you, we probably cannot face three ancestral gods, let alone truly slay them."

Every powerhouse who reaches the ancestral god realm has refined their essence, energy, and spirit to the limit and comprehended the existence of the great cosmic law; to some extent they can be called immortal, unless the realm gap is enormous, otherwise it is extremely hard to be killed by one of the same rank.

Although Shennong does not fear ancestral gods of the same rank, he also lacks full confidence in being able to truly slay them.

"Rest assured."

Feng Yi pointed into the distance and smiled, saying, "That old Ancestral Dragon on Dragon Island has already recovered its full strength and is willing to ally with us to jointly deal with that false god, and moreover"

Saying this, Feng Yi's heart stirred; a clear sword cry rang out, and the supremely strong and sharp sword qi swept across heaven and earth, shaking Shennong and Zhuang Zhou to the core.

In the next moment, a green-clad figure emanating boundless killing intent appeared before the two, making them feel an indescribable oppression.

"Tongtian?"

Upon seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Zhuang Zhou let out an extremely surprised voice: "Fuxi ancestral god, how did Tongtian achieve the ancestral god realm."

Saying this, he seemed to think of something, his tone tinged with surprise: "Did your research on the false god born from the sentient will of all beings in the otherworldly trial succeed?"

One must know that the original Tongtian Jiaozhu was only at the half-ancestor level, but now he emanates a terrifying aura that makes him tremble; evidently, this Fuxi ancestral god before him used a special method to bring his cultivation a step closer.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel a sigh:

Truly the most mysterious ancestral god of Kyushu; in such a short time, this ancestral god has already gained something.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon."

Shennong's eyes flashed with understanding: "With these two, we can indeed find an opportunity to resolve this false god, even exterminate those two foreign ancestral gods."

Saying this, he looked at Youchao Shi's ancestral god's body before him, sighed, and said: "Youchao, I offend you."

Hum

As his words fell, endless vitality appeared between heaven and earth; Shennong's spiritual sense turned into countless points of light, directly leaving Zhuang Zhou's body and merging into Youchao Shi's ancestral god's body.

Seeing this, Feng Yi's heart stirred; the Fuxi qin appeared before him, its melodious sound rang out, linking the life and death great Dao between heaven and earth.

In the next moment, countless black and white points of light appeared beside Youchao Shi; the utmost flourishing vitality and the deepest, darkest death intertwined, forming a perfect balance between life and death, helping Shennong merge with Youchao Shi's ancestral god's body.

After an unknown amount of time, a mysterious vibration rose from Youchao Shi's body, resonating with the great cosmic law, causing the surrounding heaven and earth to fall silent.

The northernmost part of the Changsheng Continent, the Four Extremes Forbidden Zone, the Ancient God Desert.

It is a vast, boundless wasteland, with yellow sand filling the sky, virtually endless, not even gods dare to venture deep into it.

In the deepest part of the rolling desert, a figure slowly walks forward.

This figure wears a sun holy stone on its head, steps on a twelve-grade lotus platform, is wrapped in a Taiji diagram, holds a three-treasure jade ruyi in one hand and a seven-treasure wondrous tree in the other, with the Four Swords of Execution floating behind it.

Rays of brilliant divine light emanate from these half-ancestor-level magical artifacts, spreading across the entire desert; the terrifyingly strong gales are blocked outside, allowing this figure, whose aura is not particularly strong, to walk safely within this Four Extremes Forbidden Zone.

Just then, heaven and earth stilled, the surrounding void became hazy, and the ever-present gales ceased to blow.

"Brother Xiao, how did you come to the Ancient God Desert?"

A leisurely voice sounded, instantly drawing the attention of the walking figure.

"Fuxi, Human Ancestor!"

Hearing the familiar sound from his ear, the figure instantly stopped, lifted his head—it was Xiao Chen.

He subconsciously looked ahead; the hazy void revealed a dark-robed figure stepping out—it was Feng Yi.

"Big Brother Feng."

Confirming that the figure before him was truly the Human Ancestor Fuxi, Xiao Chen's face showed excitement as he said: "You old man have finally appeared."

Looking at Xiao Chen, who was armed to the teeth, Feng Yi's lips curled into a smile as he said: "Brother Xiao, your attire is rather unconventional!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, his voice low: "It's not because you old man suddenly disappeared."

Saying this, Xiao Chen only felt a surge of grievance welling up in his heart.

In the Lost Paradise, he followed the Human Ancestor's command, slaying numerous half-ancestors who had turned into mortals due to the Lost Paradise's rules.

He originally thought that with the Human Ancestor as his backup, slaying those half-ancestors would be no problem.

Who would have thought that Xiao Chen himself had just slain those half-ancestors, when the Human Ancestor suddenly vanished.

Moreover, crucially, outside the Lost Paradise at that time gathered the disciples and grand-disciples of those half-ancestors, who personally witnessed Xiao Chen slaying their ancestral masters, wishing to devour his flesh, sleep on his skin, drink his blood, and crush his bones to ashes.

This outright plunged Xiao Chen into misery.

Fortunately, he had the half-ancestor artifacts left behind by those fallen half-ancestors protecting him, otherwise he would have been torn apart directly by those people.

"Haha."

After hearing Xiao Chen's account, Feng Yi let out a haha and said with a smile: "Sorry, Brother Xiao, I encountered something back then, so I had to temporarily leave."

Saying this, Feng Yi casually glanced around the desert and said: "How did you come to this Four Extremes Forbidden Zone, the Ancient God Desert?"

"There's no way, Big Brother Feng!"

Xiao Chen's face showed a wry smile, somewhat helpless: "The disciples and grand-disciples of those half-ancestors are spread across the Changsheng Continent, still relentlessly pursuing me; although they cannot for now break through the protection of my half-ancestor artifacts, I also cannot truly activate those half-ancestor artifacts, so I can only hide in the Four Extremes Forbidden Zone of this far north, thus avoiding being found by them."

Saying this, Xiao Chen gazed toward the endless yellow sand in the distance, his eyes hinting at curiosity: "Moreover, now that I have the protection of these half-ancestor-level artifacts, I also want to take advantage of the opportunity to evade those people's pursuit to see what lies at the end of the legendary Ancient God Desert."

"The end of the Ancient God Desert"

Feng Yi glanced at the distant desert and explained softly: "That place is the spatial barrier between the Changsheng Realm and the other worlds; you can understand it as the edge of the world."

"Truly the edge of the world"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen subconsciously looked toward the distance, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Alright."

Saying this, Feng Yi's tone inexplicably said: "Since the major powers of the Changsheng Continent bear a deep hatred for you, you now gain no further training in the Changsheng Realm, so I will take you back to Kyushu."

Return to the Nine Provinces.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, his voice somewhat excited as he said, "Brother Feng, can you take me back to the Nine Provinces?"

Hmm.

Feng Yi nodded, his tone casual as he said, "Now that my cultivation has somewhat recovered, taking you back to the Nine Provinces is no problem."

Great!

After truly receiving confirmation, Xiao Chen's face showed an excited expression, and his mind involuntarily conjured the images of his father, mother, and Ruoshui, wondering how they were faring now.

Let's go!

The moment his words fell, Feng Yi's heart stirred slightly; an intangible wave rose from his body, the surrounding void instantly turned hazy, and an illusory door opened.

Looking at the illusory door before him, Xiao Chen's eyes showed an excited expression.

Boom

But just then, an indescribably immense pressure suddenly appeared, sweeping across heaven and earth, causing the entire Ancient God Desert to wail as if on the verge of collapse.

Even with numerous half-ancestor-level magical artifacts protecting him, Xiao Chen's whole body shuddered instantly, feeling as if his bones were about to split apart.

He instinctively raised his head; the firmament seemed to split open directly, a huge hand wreathed in purple qi, larger than the entire sky, suddenly reached down, as if the Heavenly Dao were descending divine punishment.

'What is this?'

The moment that thought arose in his mind, Xiao Chen froze on the spot, as if his thoughts had stalled and he lost the ability to think.

Finally, you've revealed yourself!

Just then, a plain voice sounded, dispelling the pressure between heaven and earth and awakening Xiao Chen's consciousness.

The next moment, a resonant hum rang out, and an ancient, heavy dragon stele appeared high in the heavens.

On the dragon stele, countless trigrams flowed, containing the yin-yang bagua and the principle of the Yi Dao of heavenly secrets and fate.

Boom

The purple giant hand struck the ancient dragon stele directly, like a meteor hitting Earth.

In an instant, the entire firmament shattered, countless spatial rifts appeared, chaotic qi surged, and the whole world seemed to be returning to chaos.

At the critical moment, a huge yin-yang bagua diagram shot up into the sky, eight phenomena flowing, merging with the power of the great cosmos, protecting the entire world.

The half-ancestor magical artifacts at Xiao Chen's side emitted mournful cries, their light instantly dimming.

He only felt his whole body sink, his soul trembling, his mind becoming a blank void.

In a daze, Xiao Chen seemed to see a yin-yang bagua diagram covered in flowing trigrams appear beside him, helping him block the aftermath.

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness finally returned to normal.

At that moment, Xiao Chen discovered he had actually appeared in the extra-dimensional void, with none other than Fuxi, the human ancestor, beside him.

Instinctively looking into the distance, he saw a Dao-robed old man wrapped in purple qi, whose face he could not make out.

'Hongjun.'

Before Xiao Chen could guess the other's identity, a calm voice sounded in his ear, making his heart involuntarily tremble.
