Chapter 737: Tai Shi Strikes!

But he looked at the Tai Shi before him and did not act immediately.

He gritted his teeth tightly, the Dark Void surging around him ceaselessly; moments later, he let out a snort of laughter, the gloom on his face instantly receded, replaced by an air of Indifference, as if Tai Shi's mockery never touched his heart.

He spoke calmly, his voice carrying a hint of cold murderous intent and a trace of inevitable Indifference:

"Heh, this child's demonic talent, even when viewed through my own eyes that have lived through an Endless Era, is utterly incomprehensible."

The Dark Flying Ancestor's gaze passed over Tai Shi and settled on Ye Wuque behind him; within those darkness‑filled eyes flickered an extreme dread and an unmistakable killing intent:

"At such an age, already at the Immortal King realm, yet capable of slaying the Supreme Boundless Great Perfection as easily as killing a chicken. In the entire history of the Zhutian Wanjie over countless ages, no such demonic talent has ever existed. Even I, at this age, am far from his level of defying Heaven."

"Moreover, he took what should not be taken, touched forbidden taboos, and glimpsed the core secrets of my Dark clan. If this child is allowed to grow, soon he will become the greatest obstacle to my clan's World‑destroying Grand Plan, perhaps even more troublesome than the ancient Chaos Dragon Lord."

At this point, the Dark Flying Ancestor's tone suddenly turned ice‑cold, his murderous intent sharp; each word that fell caused the surrounding Void to crack a little.

"Such a calamity must naturally be snuffed out in its cradle by me. Not merely striking a junior; even if I were to marshal the entire clan's strength to besiege him, I would not hesitate. He is destined to die!"

When those words fell, the World‑destroying Aura around him surged again, and the Void spanning billions of light‑years cracked inch by inch under this murderous intent, turning into Chaos Dust.

Today, regardless of anything, he must kill Ye Wuque.

Even if it means confronting Tai Shi, even if it demands a terrible price, he will spare nothing.

Upon hearing the Dark Flying Ancestor's words, Tai Shi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Is that so?"

Those two words, like Primordial Ice, carried a bone‑piercing chill that instantly swept the entire Void.

In the next instant, Tai Shi moved.

Without any omen, without any fanfare, he simply took a step.

That simple step seemed to span endless time and space, crossing countless ages of Reincarnation.

He stepped forward, and beneath his foot instantly birthed myriad universes; countless stars were born, evolved, entered Jiemie, and Reincarnated at his feet, completing within a single step a full cycle of a universe from birth to death.

That primordial breath, originating from the very beginning of Chaos, surged out like a massive tide, instantly covering the entire Dark Main Path and even spreading toward the other Jiuda Wugui Zhulu.

The previously relentless Endless Darkness, under this sweeping primordial breath, receded tide after tide and instantly dissolved.

The Jiemie aura and death‑killing qi that had pervaded ages vanished completely under this breath.

The shattered Void, at the moment his foot touched down, began to repair at breakneck speed, re‑coalescing into a complete spatial barrier, and even the broken flow of the Time Changhe was restored to its circulation at that instant.

One step taken, heaven and earth reopened, all things returned to their source.

This is Tai Shi's power.

This is the terrifying Great Power of the Ultimate Leap Realm.

Originally, a void of millions of light‑years separated him from the Dark Flying Ancestor, but with that step he bridged that distance, appearing directly before the Dark Flying Ancestor, the two now only a breath apart.

He took the initiative!

He launched a proactive strike at the Dark Flying Ancestor!

This scene caused Ye Wuque behind him to quake profoundly, his spirit roiling endlessly.

He gazed at Tai Shi's towering, majestic silhouette, his heart filled with relief and deep gratitude.

Just now, he had truly reached the brink of life and death; had Tai Shi not arrived in time to block the Dark Flying Ancestor's killing blow, he would now have suffered Body and Spirit Annihilation, completely fallen into this No Return Path.

Claiming he isn't afraid is a lie.

Even though Ye Wuque has lived defying Heaven, decisive in killing, never shrinking before countless life‑or‑death crises.

Yet when confronting the Dark Flying Ancestor's Extinction Sequence of the Ultimate Leap, the absolute power gap, the unstoppable death threat, he still feels his heart race and his strength wane.

After all, his current cultivation is far too inferior compared to the Dark Flying Ancestor's.

The Ultimate Leap is a legendary realm he has only glimpsed in the most obscure phrases of ancient texts.

It truly transcends the Tiandao of the heavens, leaps beyond the Six Paths of Reincarnation, capable of rewriting Time and Space, reshaping the universe, and wielding the supreme realm of birth and death.

Such a being, any one of them, could shake the Zhutian Huanyu and the endless epochs of the Wan Gu Lun Hui!

And now, this supreme being of legend, for his sake, has taken the initiative, striking at the Dark Flying Ancestor.

Ye Wuque drew a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within, his gaze fixed on the two silhouettes above the Void, and at the same time, he gained an extremely direct and profound experience of the Great Terror and grave danger of this No Return Path.

Previously, relying on his own foundation, invincible among his peers, cutting down stronger foes as easily as reaching into a bag, he believed that even upon entering the No Return Path he could still protect himself and even carve out a reputation within it.

But now he realizes how laughably naive his earlier thoughts were.

This No Return Path truly lives up to being the foremost Forbidden Land recognized by the Zhutian Wanjie, the death‑ridden ground that has buried countless peerless masters.

He had only just stepped onto the Dark Main Path of this No Return Path when he encountered the Dark Flying Ancestor's Extinction Sequence of Ultimate Leap caliber.

Any such being emerging could easily crush him.

And this is merely one of the ten Main Roads of the No Return Path!

Just on this single Main Road such a terrifying presence guards; what of the remaining Nine Main Roads?

What of the core of the Dark clan deep within the No Return Path?

How many beings of ultimate terror reside there?

For the first time, Ye Wuque's heart swelled with deep awe and a firmer resolve to become stronger.

He knows clearly that only by truly becoming powerful and entering the Ultimate Leap realm can he truly stand in this No Return Path, truly oppose the Dark clan, and truly protect those he wishes to protect.
