Chapter 441 : Volume Twelve: Victory and Defeat（Part Two）
Chapter 441: Volume Twelve: Victory and Defeat（Part Two）
In a decisive battle between the two sides, they naturally had to send Ancestors with sufficiently powerful killing abilities.
Among the 89 Ancestors participating this time, 39 specialized in survival, which was already a large number. The remaining 50 Ancestors were all skilled in numerous killing methods, but most of them had to rely on their companions for protection.
With the eight Lords’ first blade strike, they killed the Ancestor that was easiest to kill, which also caused some unrest within the Innate Primordial faction.
Dark Roc Ancestor had been killed instantly? Would they be next?
“Our Formation Array’s protective ability still isn’t perfect enough.” Some Ancestors began transmitting messages.
Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s heart trembled.
He understood……
When gathering the Ancestors, everyone had been convinced that this battle formation’s coordination was sufficiently perfect, especially that its ‘survival ability’ was extremely strong, which was why these Ancestors had each been willing to participate. But once incidents of ‘sudden death’ occurred one after another, the Ancestors would probably split internally again.
“We can’t drag this out! Immediately use the killer move!”
Infinite Serpent Ancestor immediately transmitted.
Normally, when two great factions fought, battling for hundreds or thousands of eras was completely normal. The original plan had been to learn more about the eight Lords’ capabilities before using their killer move! If used hastily, its effect might not be as good.
But the situation was changing too quickly. There was no time to worry about that!
“Whoosh!”
Infinite Serpent Ancestor instantly transformed into an enormous phantom. Completely intangible, no one could obstruct him. His enormous body enveloped all the Ancestors and also enveloped the eight Lords.
Then, the intangible ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor’ instantly solidified! His enormous serpent body naturally wrapped around ‘Yuan’.
Yuan was trapped inside the serpent’s belly.
First turning intangible, then solidifying! This was one of ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s’ killer moves for trapping enemies. Throughout the Endless Primordial Space, there were only a handful capable of escaping his ‘enemy-trapping’ technique.
“Mm?”
The expressions of Luo Feng and the other seven Lords changed slightly.
Yuan had suddenly been trapped inside Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s body! And terrifying fluctuations suddenly erupted within Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s body.
“Endless Light! Endless Might!”
This attack was a combined killer move of Infinite Serpent Ancestor and Endless Ancestor! Ever since Endless Ancestor broke through to the ‘undying and indestructible’ level, he had also comprehended an explosive move similar to Luo Feng’s Origin Great Destruction.
Only those who had achieved ‘undying and indestructible’ dared to use such explosive techniques.
He was omnipresent!
Without Infinite Serpent Ancestor obstructing him, he naturally appeared instantly inside ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s’ body, close together with Yuan.
Inside the serpent body.
Yuan could not escape. He could only watch helplessly as, the instant ‘Endless Ancestor’ appeared, he transformed into incomparably dazzling light! This dazzling light tore apart and destroyed everything. Even with Formation Arrays blocking it, at such close range they were still torn apart and shattered, while Yuan’s body was also pulverized and annihilated.
“Among the eight Lords of the Cultivator faction, Yuan and Luo Feng are the key points! Without Yuan, their coordination will become much worse and their strength will greatly decline, making them completely unable to withstand our attacks. Without Luo Feng, the threat they pose will sharply decrease.”
The Innate Primordial faction had long understood this principle. To defeat the Cultivator faction, the first key was Yuan, the second key was Luo Feng, and only the third key was Starlight. As long as they eliminated any one of the three, they could win the frontal war.
“Boom——”
Along with Yuan’s body being annihilated, the enormous battle formation offensive of the other Ancestors of the Innate Primordial faction also enveloped them!
Beside Luo Feng, at the same time Yuan was trapped inside Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s body, a wisp of Yuan’s consciousness had already transformed into a weak clone beside Luo Feng, rapidly growing under the supply of Luo Feng’s power!
At the same time his main combat clone was destroyed, Yuan’s clone had already rapidly grown to thirty or forty percent energy reserves. As it grew, it also burned power to maintain the Formation Array.
“Rumble~~~”
Although the battle formation weakened slightly, with Wulan, Luo Feng, and Starlight assisting, they forcibly stabilized it for an instant, allowing Yuan’s clone to rapidly rise to sufficient strength.
“One of his weak clones climbed to the level of a main combat clone this quickly?” The hearts of the Innate Primordial faction’s Ancestors turned cold.
The key figures of the Cultivator faction were ranked Yuan, Luo Feng, then Starlight!
Luo Feng already possessed extraordinarily powerful defensive abilities and unparalleled combat strength! The combined killer move of ‘Infinite Serpent Ancestor and Endless Ancestor’ had no confidence whatsoever of doing anything to Luo Feng. Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s body was not even confident it could trap Luo Feng’s blade!
As for Starlight? For the moment, they had not even discovered a way to trap him.
So among the three, Yuan was comparatively the easiest to target.
“Second blade——”
Yuan rapidly recovered to his peak, and the eight Lords joined forces without hesitation to unleash the second blade strike.
With his companions’ powers augmenting him, Luo Feng controlled the blade edge in his hand and easily cleaved through the battle formation formed by the many Ancestors! That ‘Primordial Ancestor’ even wanted to use his body to forcibly withstand Luo Feng’s blade.
Although Luo Feng was interested in finding out which was stronger, his own blade or Primordial Ancestor’s body, this spear versus shield, at such a critical moment he could not afford to waste an opportunity in battle.
The blade light flashed and easily bypassed Primordial Ancestor.
Primordial Ancestor’s enormous spherical body moved extremely slowly and was simply unable to block Luo Feng’s blade light!
“No——”
Another Ancestor was struck. It was precisely ‘Wind-Devouring Ancestor’.
The instant the blade light struck, multiple powers erupted. Wind-Devouring Ancestor had already divided his power into hundreds of millions of streams, hundreds of millions of ‘winds’ scattering and fleeing. As long as even one stream of wind escaped, he could survive.
However, invisible fluctuations spread outward, instantly annihilating ninety-nine percent of his power.
There were also Thunder, Annihilation, Space-Time, Severing Vitality, and other powers simultaneously following their perceptions to annihilate every escaping ‘wind’.
Among the hundreds of millions of winds, not a single one could endure for even an instant.
All were annihilated!
After verification by the Lords’ ‘Years Killing Formation’, according to the ranking of killing difficulty, Wind-Devouring Ancestor’s survival ability was also relatively weak and was completely countered by the combined methods of the Lords.
With just one move, he was annihilated. The other Ancestors did not even have time to save him.
“Wind-Devouring Ancestor is dead too.” These Ancestors became somewhat panicked.
“Third blade——”
Luo Feng and the others mercilessly unleashed the third blade.
But the third blade failed. That Ancestor’s life resilience was somewhat stronger than estimated. He forcibly endured for an instant and received the aid of the other Ancestors. Five types of highest-level Life Power rescued him simultaneously, causing this Ancestor to rapidly recover.
The fourth blade succeeded.
The fifth blade failed……
Luo Feng and the other eight Lords continuously unleashed eight blade strikes! Every blade could cleave through layer upon layer of defensive Formation Arrays. Although weakened by layer upon layer of Formation Arrays, the remaining blade light was still terrifying.
In the end, three Ancestors among this group died in battle.
“We underestimated Luo Feng’s blade!”
“We have a full 39 Ancestors skilled in survival working together, with all kinds of survival powers cooperating, yet his blade still cleaved through them.” The Mother of Space-Time said, “In the fragments of the future I observed, I couldn’t see Luo Feng’s figure. I originally thought…… this kind of defensive coordination would be absolutely sufficient to block the combined killer moves of these Lords.”
“Luo Feng’s blade is somewhat special!” Extinction Ancestor transmitted, “I can faintly sense that the blade seems like an incarnation of the ‘Abyss of Destruction’.”
Extinction Ancestor was the most sensitive to mortal danger.
From this blade, Extinction Ancestor sensed the threat of death, as though he were about to return to ultimate extinction.
“His blade also makes me feel a trace of threat.” Primordial Ancestor said.
The other eight were all startled.
Who was Primordial Ancestor? He was the only existence in the Endless Primordial Space capable of traversing the Wall of the Fire Prison. He could forcibly withstand all the flames of the Wall of the Fire Prison. Yet he actually felt a trace of threat from Luo Feng’s ‘blade’.
“His blade can break through every Formation Array obstruction and strike an Ancestor’s body.”
“Once he understands more of the details of our Formation Array, there may still be more Ancestors who die.”
The Nine Emperors all understood this point.
In their first clash, neither side understood the other’s Formation Array very deeply, yet three Ancestors had already been killed. If the battle continued for a long time…… perhaps another two or three Ancestors could still be killed.
“Are we confident we can break through the Lords’ battle formation?” Endless Ancestor asked.
“I can’t see any hope.” The Mother of Space-Time said, “Even if a certain Lord suffers severe injuries, Luo Feng can cause that companion’s clone to rapidly recover to peak condition.”
The Nine Emperors all understood this point.
Yuan and Luo Feng were the key points!
They had already tried targeting Yuan, but as for Luo Feng, this key point, they did not even have the idea of trying!
……
The remaining 86 Ancestors suddenly retreated slightly, completely restraining their powers, with the Nine Emperors at the forefront.
The eight Lords also temporarily restrained their powers.
The two sides temporarily ceased battle.
This scene was also seen from afar by the Ancestors of the various factions, and they could not help sighing.
“In this clash, the Innate Primordial faction lost.”
“It can’t be considered a complete loss either. The three Ancestors who died had weak survival abilities. The remaining 86 Ancestors…… couldn’t the Cultivator faction also do nothing to them? Moreover, the Innate Primordial faction still has more than thirty Ancestors who didn’t participate.”
“Most of the Ancestors who didn’t participate are relatively weak.”
All sides discussed among themselves.
No matter what, in this initial clash of the war, the Cultivator faction had gained the upper hand.
……
The many Ancestors led by the Nine Emperors and the eight Lords faced one another from afar.
“Eight Lords of the Cultivator faction.” Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s voice boomed, “Speak. What exactly do you want? You forcibly occupied the South River Territory and still aren’t satisfied, and you still want to continue expanding?”
“Even after occupying the South River Territory, we only occupy twenty percent of the Endless Primordial Space’s territory.” Yuan said, “Meanwhile, after losing the South River Territory, you still occupy forty percent of the territory, still exactly twice ours.”
“Yuan.”
Giant God Emperor spoke, “We have more than one hundred Ancestors after all, and our World-level Primordial Lifeforms and High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms are even countless. You Cultivators only have eight Lords, while your World-level and High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms are also extremely few…… You simply don’t need that many resources. Why fight with us for them?”
Giant God Emperor was originally part of the anti-war faction, but for the enormous resources required by the Giant God Clan, he also had to step forward.
“I can make the decision to give the South River Territory to your Cultivator faction.” Giant God Emperor looked at Yuan, “But you must promise that from now on, you will never expand again.”
Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Flame Derivation Ancestor, and the others all remained silent. Clearly, this was also within their plan.
If they could not win the battle, they would surrender the South River Territory!
“You want us to promise never to expand?” Yuan gently shook his head.
“At the very least, you must never again invade the territory of our Innate Primordial faction.” Giant God Emperor said, “As for your dealings with the Icepeak faction and the other powers, naturally, that is none of our concern.”
Yuan, Luo Feng, Starlight, and the others exchanged glances.
“Throughout the endless years to come, our Cultivator faction may give birth to a ninth Lord, a tenth Lord, or even more.” Yuan said, “You want us to promise never to expand toward you ever again merely for one South River Territory? The South River Territory is already ours now, and you want to use our own territory to force us to make a promise?”
“What do you want?” Infinite Serpent Ancestor spoke in a low voice. He could tell that the Cultivator faction was willing to negotiate, but they wanted more.
Yuan said calmly: “It’s true that our demand for resources isn’t that great, but all beings of the Source Worlds are our clan members. We have only one demand!”
“From now on, all Source Worlds within your territory will forever be governed by our Cultivator faction.”
“As long as you agree, we can promise never to invade the Innate Primordial faction.”
Luo Feng, Starlight, Wulan, Minghuang, Jin, Naigu, Moman, and the other seven Lords all nodded slightly.
This was their collective decision.
“All Source Worlds?”
The Nine Emperors and the many Ancestors were all startled inwardly.
“Delusional!” Infinite Serpent Ancestor could no longer restrain himself.
