Chapter 579: The Dao Ancestor Realm Strikes

Qiubai's memory of the Epoch he originally belonged to actually contains Kong's silhouette!

Ye Wuque inhaled deeply, suppressed the raging turmoil in his heart, fixed his gaze on Qiubai, and asked in a low voice:

"What is your relationship with this Dao figure…?"

Qiubai heard this, and an extremely complex expression appeared on his vague face.

He fell into a difficult recollection, his brows knit, the aura around him rippled slightly, clearly the memory process was not easy for him.

A full moment passed—

His eyes suddenly brightened!

"This Dao figure…"

His voice became excited and reverent, each word carrying heartfelt gratitude.

"This Dao figure… infinitely great… infinitely towering… infinitely transcendent… infinitely forbidden…"

"Oh right! That's it! I remember!"

Qiubai jerked his head up, and in his deep eyes now flickered a rare light:

"I once… encountered this great being!"

"At a crucial moment of my cultivation, this Dao figure suddenly appeared!"

"He seemed… to appreciate me quite a bit…"

His voice trembled slightly from excitement:

"Later I don't know what happened…"

"I only recall…"

"He said something like…"

"Stunning talent, moldable talent…"

"The pillar of the future…"

"In short, this peerless being has bestowed great favor upon me! His methods of shaping creation also shocked me immensely!"

Qiubai's gaze became exceedingly devout and grateful.

Obviously, that Dao figure occupies an extremely important, extremely lofty place in his heart.

Ye Wuque's heart grew even more stirred.

Kong, astonishingly, also appeared in the Epoch where Qiubai is, and had intersected with Qiubai, and holds great admiration for Qiubai!

What does this mean?

It means Kong's existence spans more than one Epoch!

It means Kong's scheme is far more far‑reaching than anyone imagined!

It means the enemies Kong faces, the things he protects, and the ultimate he pursues are all far grander and more complex than anyone imagined!

Kong, what is his origin, after all?

Unimaginable, unobservable, unspeakable, indescribable, unthinkable, yet seeming to be everywhere, all‑powerful, all‑knowing!

It simply surpasses all of Ye Wuque's current understanding!

Ye Wuque's gaze toward Qiubai also became more intimate and amazed.

A being that can be noticed and even praised by Kong could not be simple.

No wonder he was so astonishingly talented, no wonder he could fight me now on equal footing!

"What else do you know about this Dao figure?" Ye Wuque asked.

Qiubai shook his head, the excited expression gradually calmed, becoming indifferent again, but beneath that indifference lay a deeper awe and gratitude:

"Nothing."

"But…" he paused, his gaze turning distant, "The reason I came to the Dangjin Jiyuan seems to be because of this Dao figure."

Ye Wuque felt a stir in his heart.

Coming to the Dangjin Jiyuan, because of Kong?

Could it be that Qiubai's epoch‑crossing arrival is Kong's scheme?

Is it to resist the ominous?

Is it to confront this Epoch's Dark Calamity?

Is it to become an indispensable force at some future crucial moment?

Ye Wuque's vision was unclear.

Kong's chessboard is too vast; his realm is still far insufficient.

But he can feel that behind all this lies some unfathomable Causality and arrangement.

Qiubai looked at Ye Wuque, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:

"How, this Dao figure… you also know?"

Ye Wuque slowly nodded.

He said nothing more, did not mention his relation with Kong, nor the encounter on Central Emperor Island.

Some things need no further words.

But just that single nod, Qiubai already understood.

In his eyes, a flash of relief and delight.

It was the joy of having found a kindred spirit, a resonance.

"If in the future there is a chance…"

Qiubai whispered, his tone bearing expectation and promise.

"You and I can together… go find him."

Ye Wuque looked at him and likewise nodded.

"Good."

Two words, a pact.

The two peerless demigods, watched and influenced by Kong, at this moment forged a bond that spanned epochs.

Qiubai stood up.

He gave Ye Wuque one last glance, and in his deep eyes flickered expectation and blessing.

"No Return... farewell."

He turned, took a step forward, and his figure was already gone.

A calm yet clear voice came from afar, echoing through the Void:

"Hope for the next meeting..."

"You have already entered the Supreme Domain..."

The voice gradually faded, and Qiubai's silhouette also vanished completely into the boundless Void.

Ye Wuque stood still at the spot for a long while.

He digested the information he had just received, his mind unable to settle for a long time.

The sparring with Qiubai left him exhilarated and greatly benefited.

The discussion of the Dao with Qiubai gave him a deeper understanding of Tiandao.

And this exchange with Qiubai about Kong's secret stirred his heart and filled his thoughts.

Kong...

That name, like an insurmountable mountain and like a guiding lantern, always stands in his heart.

"Supreme Domain..."

Ye Wuque whispered, his eyes steadfast.

That is the realm he must reach, also his ticket to reunite with Kong, to stand beside those senior sages, and to contend with the top beings of Zhutian Wanjie!

Moments later, Ye Wuque took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and prepared to leave.

However—

At the instant he turned!

"Boom—!!!"

In the Void behind him, several terrifying auras suddenly erupted!

These auras were hidden so perfectly that even Ye Wuque did not notice them in advance!

Only when they burst at this moment did their ferocious faces appear!

Weird! Cold! Crazy!

It is the aura of the Ominous Clan!

Ye Wuque's expression remained indifferent, he did not even look back.

In this situation, over the past hundred years, he has encountered many, and has grown accustomed.

It is nothing but assassination attempts from the Inauspicious Clan.

And this time—

It seemed somewhat different.

The erupted auras were few, only five.

But each was so powerful it was suffocating!

Dao Lord Realm!

It turned out to be five beings of Dao Lord Realm!

Dao Lord Realm, the second stage of the Origin Dao Realm above Immortal!

Five Dao Lord Realm beings struck simultaneously, assassinating one!

Such a lineup would make any contemporary Heavenly Pride despair!

However—

Ye Wuque didn't even turn, he merely cast a light glance at the five bizarre attacks rushing toward him.

Then, he raised his right hand and brushed casually.

"Boom—!!!"

Pale golden Blood Qi erupted like a massive sun!

That seemingly casual brush contained terrifying power capable of destroying a Star Domain!

The full-force strike of the five Dao Lord Realm beings, under Ye Wuque's brush, crumbled and vanished instantly like paper.

Immediately after, Ye Wuque clenched his five fingers!

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Five muffled sounds rang almost simultaneously!

Those five newly appeared Dao Lord Realm Bane Creatures hadn't even managed a scream before an invisible pale golden great hand crushed them!

They turned into five clumps of Blood Mist, utterly incinerated by the supreme yang and steel power within the pale golden Blood Qi, leaving no trace.

The five Dao Lord Realm beings were instantly annihilated!

The whole process took but a single breath.

Ye Wuque withdrew his right hand, his expression still indifferent, as if he had merely swatted five flies.

However—

The next moment!

Hum—!!!

In the Void, two even more terrifying, even more bizarre, even more soul‑shaking auras suddenly spread!

This aura is at least ten times, even a hundred times stronger than the previous five Dao Lord Realm beings!

The moment they descend, the entire Void seems to grow darker, temperature plummets, laws become chaotic, and even the light is devoured!

The bizarre aura is dense to the extreme!

Two Dark Shadows slowly coalesce out of the Darkness.

They are two terrifying great powers of the Dao Ancestor Realm!

Dao Ancestor Realm!

That is a terrifying existence that surpasses the Dao Lord Realm and is but one step away from the true Supreme Realm!

It is a true powerhouse that stands atop the pinnacle of Zhutian Wanjie!

Even among the Inauspicious Clan, it is unquestionably a core high‑end combat force, a Titan capable of commanding a whole Dark Frontier!

Two Dao Ancestor Realm beings descend!

What a terrifying gravity and killing intent!

Ye Wuque's mouth corners slowly curl into a cold smile.

He turns, facing those two descending Dao Ancestor Realm Inauspicious great powers; in his eyes there is no fear at all, only burning battle will and a chilling killing aura!

"Dao Ancestor Realm..."

He murmurs softly, his voice even, yet it contains an unstoppable invincible conviction:

"Finally, a decent opponent has arrived."

Before the words finish—

The two Dao Ancestor Realm Inauspicious great powers simultaneously emit a bizarre roar that shakes Zhutian, and charge at Ye Wuque with reckless ferocity!

Combat erupts instantly!
