Chapter 500: You're Courting Death!

The tranquil peace of the Ye Clan Ancestral Land is merely a temporary harbor before the storm.

After resting for several days and sorting out recent gains, especially the understanding of the Origin Ancient Road and the current severe situation, Ye Wuque made contact with Feng Caichen, who was far away in the Ancient Sword Tomb.

Both being Saint Sons of the Great Thousand Divine Universe, for both sentiment and reason, they must each return to the Great Thousand Divine Universe once, both to report and to respond to any possible new arrangements.

They agreed on a meeting coordinate… a place located at the remote edge of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, near the old path of the Star Sky Ancient Road, at the fringe of a desolate Star Domain.

Here the stars are sparse, spiritual energy is barren, few living beings set foot, making it ideal for low‑key actions.

When Ye Wuque's brilliant golden rays and Feng Caichen's clear, spring‑like sword light almost simultaneously reached the designated Star Domain, the two exchanged a smile.

"Lao Ye."

"Lao Feng."

The steadiness and tacit understanding forged by a century of war lie wholly in the unspoken.

Without much small talk, after confirming each other's condition was fine, they prepared to set out together toward the Great Thousand Divine Universe.

However, just as the two had just activated their body techniques and had not yet truly left this desolate starry sky area,

Boom—crack—!!!

Without any warning, a terrifying thunderclap that seemed like Open Heaven and Split Earth roared suddenly from the void above!

It was not natural Lei Dian, but a law‑bound thunder imbued with ultimate destructive will and bone‑chilling murderous intent!

In an instant, the originally Dead Silence, dim starry sky was completely illuminated by boundless, wildly raging thunder light!

Thick, mountain‑sized chains of purple, black and blood‑colored Lei Dian materialized out of nowhere, weaving into a Destruction Thunder net that covered several star domains, completely sealing and suppressing the area where Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen stood.

Space solidified, the flow of Time became chaotic, and a terrifying pressure from the peak of the Dao Ancestor Realm, like one hundred thousand ancient thunder mountains crashing down, bearing targeted, deeply ingrained icy murderous intent, locked onto the two.

At the brightest point of the thunder light, a towering figure wrapped in endless Lei Dian, as if condensed from the very law of thunder, slowly materialized.

His form was vague, his features indistinct, but his eyes were a pair of silver‑white Lei Dian orbs, cold and merciless, like a lofty Heavenly Dao thunder punishment, indifferently gazing down at Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen.

"Thunder Clan!"

Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen's gazes, after a moment of astonishment, instantly turned into cold indifference.

A hint of doubt also lingered in their hearts.

How did this old pig‑dog of the Thunder Clan know their whereabouts?

A terrifying speculation surfaced in the minds of Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen!

They exchanged a glance, each seeing the terrifying murderous intent in the other's eyes.

The Thunder Clan's beings could ambush the two of them here with pinpoint accuracy.

This meant that within the Ye Clan, or the Ancient Sword Tomb, there was a leaker!

This is a bare‑faced traitor!

But at this moment they felt no fear, only absolute indifference and murderous intent.

These thunder beings truly are lingering souls that won't disperse!

In former years, they had already wiped out the Wind Clan, to which Feng Caichen belonged, sowing a deep Blood Sea grudge.

Thereafter they repeatedly carried out assassinations and ambushes against Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, using despicable methods and leaving no stone unturned.

Both sides have long been locked in an endless, unyielding stalemate.

Now, the Border Wasteland's great war has just ended, the No Return Path's mutation has sparked turmoil among the Zhutian, marking a critical period of surging undercurrents and pervasive danger.

The Thunder Clan, rather than restraining itself, again dispatched such a terrifying powerhouse, lurking here, intending to in one stroke eliminate Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen—two potential future mortal threats to the Thunder Clan.

"Ants shaking a tree, overestimating themselves. Today is the moment your two ants meet death."

The Thunder Clan being spoke, its voice like billions upon billions of Lei Dian booming simultaneously, shaking the surrounding star fragments into dust.

He said little; his murderous intent set, he raised his hand and pointed!

"Annihilation Thunder Dragon!"

Boom!

Endless thunder light instantly converged, compressed, and transformed into a vivid, scale‑clawed, ferocious Annihilation Thunder Dragon!

This thunder dragon stretched ten thousand li, its body composed entirely of the purest, most brutal Destruction Thunder, its eyes blood‑red, its dragon chant echoing across the universe; wherever it passed, the void was plowed into deep charred ravines, bearing a terrifying will to annihilate all and extinguish all dharmas, claws rending, roaring at a speed beyond thought toward Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen!

This strike already surpasses the ordinary Immortal realm, containing the Dao Ancestor Realm's profound grasp and control of the Lei Dian law, capable of shattering whole swaths of living stars in a single blow!

Faced with this sudden, realm‑crushing killing blow, Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, though their faces were solemn, showed no sign of panic.

A century of blood wars had already forged in them a resolve as unshakable as a mountain before a collapse.

Without sufficient trump cards and backing, how could they easily leave the relatively safe Ye Clan Ancestral Land to walk the starry sky?

Ye Wuque's gaze hardened; the Sacred Battle Qi and the Power of the Six Great Extreme Realms within him boiled instantly, and his right hand silently reached for the jade talisman his father Ye Zhengrong had given him.

Though the talisman was precious, at such a life‑or‑death juncture he hesitated not.

However, just as Ye Wuque was about to trigger the talisman at the brink of disaster—

"Lao Ye, I'm coming."

Beside him, Feng Caichen's calm and steadfast voice came.

Feng Caichen's eyes flashed like lightning; facing the snapping Annihilation Thunder Dragon, his hand moved even faster, and a seemingly plain yet faintly unsettling Chaos Qi‑infused Sword Gate already appeared in his hand.

This was one of the trump cards Tai Chu had originally bestowed upon him for survival, containing within it a Tai Chu Original Sword Qi!

Feng Caichen did not hesitate; he brought his sword fingers together, ready to activate the Sword Gate, releasing that terrifying sword qi capable of cutting everything, using offense to replace defense!

Though the two reacted quickly, the Annihilation Thunder Dragon's attack was even faster!

The terrifying Lei Dian pressure already pressed upon them, the destructive qi stinging their skin!

At this split‑second of lightning and fire, the line between life and death—

"Audacious!"

"How dare you!"

"You're courting death!"

A cold, hoarse snort mixing supreme authority and raging fury, like Nine Heavens thunder yet like ancient ice, suddenly erupted from the depths of the endless Void, instantly overwhelming the roar of that Annihilation Thunder Dragon!

Accompanying that cold snort appeared a sky‑covering, sun‑blocking Chaos Giant Palm, as if formed from the power of the endless Star River and the myriad world!

This giant palm emerged from unknown origin, ignoring the Lei Dian seal, though summoned later it arrived first, and in an instant spanned across Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen and that Annihilation Thunder Dragon!

The palm's five fingers were slightly spread; the palm's surface bore patterns that seemed to contain the tracks of Zhutian constellations, carrying a grand Dao Rhythm that suppresses ages and eradicates all evil, unflinching, and with a fierce grip and thrust it struck the roaring ten‑thousand‑mile Thunder Dragon!

At the same time, a gentle yet incredibly resilient invisible force, like spring rain and the earth's support, silently shielded Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, cutting off all combat aftershocks and spiritual impact.

Boom—boom—boom—boom——!!!!

An indescribably terrifying collision erupted with a thunderous blast across this desolate star‑filled sky!
