Chapter 1700: Soul

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

The Ancestor God revealed a look of shock. He had clearly destroyed the laws Yi Yun had manifested! Even though he had considered the possibility of Yi Yun surviving, he had never expected Yi Yun to release such potent auras. It was as though he was never injured.

No one could remain unharmed after receiving his full-force strike in a frontal assault.

Ancestor God found it incredulous. And at that moment, all the energies, laws, and nebulous Primordial Chaos gathered at a particular spot in the sky. They formed countless tiny points of light, and like birds flocking to a phoenix, they gradually formed a human figure, condensing every inch of his blood, flesh, skin, hair, and even clothes.

This figure was undoubtedly Yi Yun.

Upon seeing this scene, the Ancestor God was astonished. The feeling he had was that Yi Yun’s entire body was formed with Origins energy, laws of Origins, and nebulous Primordial Chaos.

It was a body completely formed of energy and laws, with the Primordial Chaos as his body, laws as his soul, and Origins energy as his dantian’s Yuan Qi!

As such, Yi Yun’s body was a Great Dao in and of itself!

This was a metamorphosis of life.

It wasn’t that the Ancestor God’s strike had missed Yi Yun or that Yi Yun was unfazed by his attack; instead, when the gigantic ax struck the black hole, Yi Yun’s body, including his soul, had shattered into countess tiny nomological and energy bodies. As such, Ancestor God’s damage was minimized.

Not only so, the Ancestor God sensed that there was still an overwhelming energy and nebulous Primordial Chaos emanating out from deep in the rift of the array’s core that was gathering towards Yi Yun.

Upon seeing this scene, the Ancestor God’s heart sank. He knew very well that with the passage of time, Yi Yun’s strength would still increase. His fusion with the Heavenly Dao would continue!

It could be said that every second that passed for the present Yi Yun was equivalent to a thousand years of arduous cultivation for mortal warriors.

The speed of such a terrifying growth chilled his heart.

“So your body has already completely turned into a nomological entity. You are indeed terrifying to force me into such a predicament. However, I will not give you another chance to grow again.”

As the Ancestor God spoke, he slammed the ax into his chest. With a reverberating hum that sounded like thunder, the Ancestor God spat out a mouthful of dark gold blood.

This was the Ancestor God’s Divine Blood Origins!

Such divine blood was a lot more powerful than the divine blood Yi Yun had used when refining the Myriad Form Shura Pills since it contained the massive vital forces of the Ancestor God.

The Ancestor God’s fresh blood burned in midair! Just one drop of this blood was enough to vanquish a mighty figure.

Now, a blob of blood gathered together and collapsed the void.

“I’ll use my divine blood as a prison to seal your laws. Let me see how you will nullify this.”

The Ancestor God waved his hand as a blob of divine blood transformed into a boundless mist of blood that enveloped Yi Yun. This was the absolute domain of the divine blood. Even if Yi Yun transformed himself into the laws of Origins or nebulous Primordial Chaos, he would remain imprisoned within mist of blood.

The Ancestor God raised his battle ax again!

Billions of wraiths wailed from within the ax with an earth-shattering cry. Even the hundred plus Godly Monarchs around felt like a demonic tune had entered their ears when they heard that. Even their blood flow slowed as they felt an indescribable repression!

As the Ancestor God’s previous strike was in the array’s core, no one had seen it personally. All they saw were the remnant blasts.

But now, this strike was happening right in front of their eyes!

“Retreat! Everyone, retreat!”

A Godly Monarch yelled loudly. Just one look at the Ancestor God’s strike made one feel like their soul was being imprisoned. They knew very well that the strike would annihilate everything.

Even if they were Godly Monarchs, they would be swept into the terrifying ax beam if they didn’t keep a safe distance. They might even be completely obliterated!

All the Godly Monarchs opened up a gap from the epicenter. Even the patriarchs of the various races were shuddering in fear.

How was such a terrifying attack defensible?

Apart from the Godly Monarchs, the other warriors, be they Heavenly Courts disciples or armies from the other races that rushed over, all of them were stored away by their patriarchs into their mobile abodes or their bodies’ internal worlds. A battle at this level would reduce one to ashes immediately if a remnant blast were to brush past them!

The Godly Monarchs had retreated more than fifty kilometers away as they raised their barriers to withstand the explosive energy storms.

Even at this distance, they could still see the Ancestor God’s massive body clearly.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The black ax which was enveloped with countless wraiths cleaved down!

At that moment, the world seemed to lose its color. Even the celestial bodies far away was swept up by this strike. Compared to the Ancestor God’s overwhelming strike, Yi Yun’s body looked like a speck of dust.

It was a battle of disproportion! Yi Yun didn’t even draw a weapon as he faced the Ancestor God’s attack empty-handed.

Although they were fifty kilometers away, the Godly Monarchs present had excellent eyesight. They were able to see Yi Yun’s every move clearly. Even the most minute changes in his expression and energy flow could be detected.

Indeed, a barehanded Yi Yun began taking action. Against the Ancestor God’s attack, all he did was raise his hand slightly. But it was this simple motion that left an unforgettable impression on all the Godly Monarchs present.

Beneath Yi Yun’s feet, the Chaos Heavens’ lands were his foundation. A blackish-red dragon spanning half a million kilometers appeared silently. More than half of its body was buried within the Chaos Heavens’ lands, and just its massive dragon head was five thousand kilometers long.

The Godly Monarchs were astounded. With their perception which could extend for five million kilometers, they clearly sensed that Yi Yun’s raising of his hand caused the entire Chaos Heavens to stir.

Even the Ancestor God appeared as trivial as a firefly in front of this massive figure.

“This is…”

“This is the Chaos Heavens’ dragon veins! The entire Chaos Heavens’ soul!”

Universes had life as well. After its birth, it would thrive and wane before being destroyed, just like the stages of human life—birth, aging, illness, and sickness. However, their lives were especially long. With the Chaos Heavens as an example, a lifespan of a hundred billion years was nothing.

Compared to them, humans, Souls, Fey, and all the other thousands of lifeforms were trivial in comparison. No matter what these lifeforms did, it was impossible to garner a reaction from the Universe.

But now, Yi Yun had extracted the Chaos Heavens’ soul.

With the Chaos Heavens as a foundation, he had withstood the Ancestor God’s strike!

“Boom!”

When the Ancestor God’s ax cleaved the humongous dragon soul, the soul paused slightly before hurling straight for the Ancestor God.

The ax beam shattered as the Chaos Heavens trembled violently, creating countless cracks in the lands. Following that, overwhelming aura spewed out from the rifts and gathered towards Yi Yun.

“Begone!”

Yi Yun used his body as a sword as it manifested into a blazing star and slammed heavily into the Ancestor God’s chest!

The Ancestor God’s impregnable body collapsed after being struck by Yi Yun. His ribcage exploded as blood splattered!

The Ancestor God grunted. He had no idea how many years it had been since he was inflicted with such grievous wounds.

Yi Yun’s body flew backwards. At that moment, he did not need to actively absorb the Chaos Heavens’ Heavenly Dao and Origins energy because they would automatically fuse with him. All the liquefied Yuan Qi essence that spewed out from the massive rifts gathered towards Yi Yun as well.

Just standing there allowed Yi Yun to fuse with the Chaos Heavens.

All the energies in the Chaos Heavens were available for Yi Yun’s use. The Chaos Heavens’ laws were Yi Yun’s laws. The Chaos Heavens’ lands were Yi Yun’s body.

If the Ancestor God wanted to attack Yi Yun, it was equivalent to attacking the entire Chaos Heavens. To kill Yi Yun, he needed to destroy the Chaos Heavens in its entity. This was literally heaven and man as one!

“You have already fused with the… Chaos Heavens Heavenly Dao?” The heavily injured Ancestor God turned gloomy.

Yi Yun gently raised his hand as countless laws of Origins gathered towards him. A nomological sword coruscating with divine light condensed in his hand.

“The Heavenly Dao’s evolution is unending. Creation and Destruction are interchangeable, forming a complete circle. Be it life or a universe, they have formation, existence, disintegration, and emptiness; birth, aging, illness, and death. You wanted to devour the Heavenly Dao, robbing and changing the fate of the universe. You wanted to empower yourself by initiating the deaths of millions; hence, you were destined to be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

“It wasn’t me who fused with the Chaos Heavens, but it is the Chaos Heavens that chose me.”

The reason why Yi Yun could borrow the Chaos Heavens’ stellar soul powers to so quickly fuse with the Chaos Heavens’ Heavenly Dao was not solely because of the three Universe seeds. On the contrary, it was the Ancestor God’s excessive extraction that made the declining Chaos Heavens choose Yi Yun.

The energy that had been robbed by the Ancestor God were injected into Yi Yun’s body without any reservation.

As a result of this turn of events, Yi Yun’s battle with the Ancestor God experienced a complete reversal!

The present Yi Yun had broken through to the Godly Monarch realm and had fused with the three Universe seeds. Having gathered the Chaos Heavens’ Heavenly Dao, he was the ultimate lifeform.

Even if the Ancestor God had successfully devoured the Chaos Heavens’ Heavenly Dao, it was absolutely impossible for him to have such a perfect, complete fusion like Yi Yun.

“The Chaos Heavens… chose you…” The Ancestor God’s expression turned solemn. He never expected that the situation would develop this far.

The Great Dao was heartless, but the Heavenly Dao had made its own choice.

“You perverse acts shall incur the Heavenly Dao’s slaying, with me executing you!” Yi Yun’s voice echoed throughout the entire Chaos Heavens. At that instant, all the Chaos Heavens’ energies were amassed in the nomological sword in Yi Yun’s hand.

The entire world seemed to be the manifestation of the sword, leaving the Ancestor God with nowhere to hide.

The Ancestor God let out an angry bellow as golden light bloomed from his body as he faced the nomological sword that came slashing down.

The Godly Monarchs and patriarchs could not help but hold their breaths. Their breathing froze as they witnessed this battle of epic proportions.

Boom!

An astounding boom affected the blood and heartbeats of everyone as they resonated in response. The world seemed to let out a wrought up roar and it was none other than the Chaos Heavens’ voice.

Yi Yun’s nomological sword radiated divine light. What was a four-foot-long sword extended to dozens of kilometers as it reached straight into the firmaments.

This strike slashed down ruthlessly from Yi Yun’s hand.

The Ancestor God roared angrily as he raised the ax to defend!

“Dang!”

In this intense clash, on one side was Yi Yun who had fused with the worldly Great Dao and on the other side was the Ancestor God who was defending with his body.

Even with a Celestial’s heaven-defying body, such a stark difference in strength was unbridgeable!
