Chapter 440: Volume Twelve: Victory and Defeat（Part One）
The Ancestors of the other factions throughout the Endless Primordial Space were all paying close attention. This great battle that was about to begin would completely affect the future balance of power within the Endless Primordial Space.
“They’re almost here.”
The 89 Ancestors of the Innate Primordial faction watched from afar. They represented the number one power in the Endless Primordial Space! Throughout the long years before this, they had occupied half of all territory. Now they had encountered a challenger…… the Cultivator faction with merely eight Lords!
The Cultivator faction had directly occupied the 1,600 World Clusters of the South River Territory and even wanted to continue expanding, completely enraging the entire Innate Primordial faction! For their common interests, they had to go all out!
“Buzz~~~”
The Ancestors crossed vast space-time and arrived, their killing intent soaring into the heavens.
“Kill!” The winding phantom of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor blotted out the vast void. The instant they arrived, they could not even be bothered to exchange words and immediately attacked without mercy, intending to annihilate the eight Lords of the Cultivator faction.
Rumble~~~
Space-time twisted and surged!
The Mother of Space-Time and Infinite Serpent Ancestor joined forces to manipulate space-time, clashing and interfering with Lord Starlight’s manipulation of space-time! At the same time, a vast and enormous Formation Array was silently operating, causing the entire heaven and earth to seem as though it were favoring Lord Starlight.
“In the manipulation of space-time, the Cultivators have the advantage!” The Mother of Space-Time and Infinite Serpent Ancestor were startled. During their previous clashes, the gap between the two sides had not been very large.
“Yuan’s Formation Array has an even greater influence on heaven and earth now.” The Mother of Space-Time transmitted.
At this moment, all the Ancestors began to act.
Among the many Ancestors participating in this battle, there were as many as five who had mastered the highest-level power of the Life Lineage. Some were blood-colored, some cyan, some green…… five types of highest-level Life Power spread outward, affecting every Ancestor.
All kinds of Defensive Power, Undying Power, World Power, Domains, and so on began operating.
There were a total of 39 Ancestors skilled in survival. They had also practiced cooperating again and again, forming the optimal method of coordination! The numerous powers unleashed by the 39 Ancestors combined together as though they were one whole.
“Their Domain is too powerful. Even my Formation Array can’t penetrate it.” Yuan was somewhat surprised and transmitted, “They’re placing tremendous importance on survival methods now.”
The Innate Primordial faction treated the Cultivator faction as a truly threatening opponent! Before considering victory, they first considered defeat. Therefore, survival came first! The combination of 39 types of highest-level survival powers caused even the eight Lords’ expressions to change slightly.
Although each type of power was merely a weakened method derived from a Primordial-level ‘Path’, there were simply too many of them.
“Boom!”“Boom!”“Boom!”……
These Ancestors cooperated with one another as numerous killer moves directly descended.
They had abandoned many close-combat techniques! For example, Giant God Emperor, Primordial Beast Ancestor, and Black Tide Ancestor had previously coordinated in close combat to capture enemies. During the last war, they had even dared to charge their true bodies directly into the Cultivator faction’s battle formation. Now they did not dare.
They abandoned risky techniques and developed numerous combined killer moves!
All kinds of illusions descended, penetrating the minds of every Lord. However, the Mental Wills of all eight Lords were extraordinary, and they could all see through the illusions. Yet with chaotic illusions mixed together with reality, the Lords were still slightly affected.
“Rumble~~~” With Yuan’s assistance, Lord Starlight, who held the advantage in space-time manipulation, this time enveloped the many Ancestors with his space-time technique.
The many Ancestors saw one future timeline after another, with every timeline being a complete Endless Primordial Space. Their future ‘selves’ and present selves could see one another, and their powers mutually influenced each other.
“Mother of Space-Time, suppress his timeline interference.” Endless Ancestor transmitted.
“With Yuan’s Formation Array assisting him, and Lord Starlight continuously burning his main combat clone, his manipulation of the timelines is extremely powerful this time.” The Mother of Space-Time responded. She was already doing everything she could.
“Attack! Ignore everything else, attack with full force!”
While ensuring their own safety, all kinds of coordinated techniques poured toward the eight Lords of the Cultivator faction.
Various invisible extreme poisons spread outward. A very small number of toxins even broke through all barriers of power and directly infiltrated the physical bodies and souls of the Cultivator Lords.
Various world-annihilating powers descended! Some surged mightily forward, seeking to crush and pulverize everything, some directly infiltrated before erupting in massive explosions! Some silently annihilated all matter……
There were also invisible powers affecting every Lord, causing their bodies to slowly ‘decay’……
There were even all-pervasive kinds of powers repeatedly erupting within the Cultivator faction’s battle formation!
There were also powers that attacked along Causality……
And powers targeting the soul……
Occasionally, there were even extraordinarily terrifying destructive forces capable of directly piercing through Yuan’s Formation Array. Although Wulan and Luo Feng joined forces to block them as much as possible, some destructive forces still bypassed the two and landed on the other Lords……
“Hahaha, Yuan and Luo Feng’s strength has risen tremendously. Things are much easier for us now!”
“It’s much better than before.”
Moman, Naigu, Jin, and Minghuang instead felt much more relaxed.
Before Luo Feng became a Lord, under this kind of overwhelming assault, their injuries would continuously worsen until they inevitably ended in defeat. But now, the situation was completely different.
“These little injuries? They’re nothing worth mentioning.”
“The energy reserves consumed by my main combat clone recover completely in the blink of an eye.”
Yuan and Lord Starlight continuously remained in a state of burning their main combat clones, consuming approximately ten percent of their energy reserves with every breath of time.
Yuan’s Formation Array coordinated the strength of all eight Lords, displaying greater might than before and reducing the ‘attacks’ that actually landed on the Lords.
Starlight’s advantage in manipulating space-time also weakened the attacks the Lords suffered.
And there was Luo Feng healing them and replenishing their energy reserves.
Only because of all this did the Lords feel relaxed, regarding it as merely ‘a little wind and frost’.
“The offensive might of the Innate Primordial faction can’t threaten us!” Yuan revealed a smile.
“Then let them witness our strength as well.” Moman said.
“Years Killing Formation!”
Yuan gave the order.
The eight Lords acted very steadily. Only after first blocking the attacks from the Ancestors did they begin their counterattack! The moment they acted, they unleashed one of the Eight Great Killing Formations they had previously developed through experimentation—the ‘Years Killing Formation’.
“Buzz~~~”
The Formation Array was activated.
Lord Moman’s fluctuations silently spread everywhere! No one could escape their probing.
“Sever.”
Luo Feng also struck with his blade.
The blade light was incomparably condensed, as though it had transformed into a single thread!
The thread of blade light perfectly merged with the power of space-time and also harmonized with the fluctuations. Under the operation of the laws of the Primordial Void, the thread of blade light could even freely move among certain timelines of the past, present, and future, causing many defensive techniques to become useless because they could not touch the blade light at all.
In the eyes of the Ancestors, they discovered that the blade light was simultaneously attacking from different timelines, yet they could not even touch it.
“I can’t see it clearly.”
“There’s no way to block it at all.”
They tried to evade the blade light and tried to intercept and destroy it, yet the blade light still approached like something illusory.
“This blade light circulates among different timelines. Unless every timeline within this ‘period of time’ is blocked, it will inevitably hit its target.” The Mother of Space-Time transmitted to inform her companions, “Everyone, don’t worry. The blade light can circulate among different timelines, but when it attacks an enemy, it must return to the present timeline! Moreover…… because the blade light can circulate among different timelines, its power won’t be too great.”
“Chi!”
The blade light instantly descended into the present timeline and swept across an Ancestor’s body, splitting that Ancestor’s body into two. But with the aid of the omnipresent Life Power, that Ancestor instantly recovered to its peak state.
“The blade light isn’t that powerful, yet it can still split me in two with ease!”
“Chi chi chi.” The blade light of the Years Killing Formation circulated again and again, sweeping across one Ancestor after another. In merely two or three breaths of time, it had swept across every Ancestor.
These Ancestors were somewhat puzzled.
Split in two?
With an Ancestor’s vitality, even if its body were divided into more than ten thousand pieces, it still would not die. Much less now, when multiple survival Formation Arrays were working together and their survival ability had increased tremendously.
“We’ve already collected some information on all 89 Ancestors.” Starlight transmitted. Although the Years Killing Formation was not particularly powerful, it was the technique most capable of ignoring Formation Array defenses, allowing them to collect information as quickly as possible. Only by knowing both oneself and the enemy could the chances of victory be greater.
Starlight immediately transmitted and finalized the plan.
In battles between the two great factions, Starlight was always the one who determined the combat plan. Of course, even if his calculations left nothing overlooked, the final victor would still depend on strength.
“Be careful.” The 89 Ancestors did not dare become careless in the slightest.
Although the eight Lords had mainly been taking attacks before this, and their counterattack had merely been the relatively weak Years Killing Formation, the fact that it could split Ancestors protected by their Formation Arrays into two—even though their strength was not diminished in the slightest—still made them somewhat apprehensive.
“Rumble~~~” This time, the imposing might of the eight Lords clearly became much fiercer.
Only when power erupted on the present timeline would it be unrestricted.
The battle formation of the Ancestors and the battle formation of the eight Lords collided through numerous techniques! The might generated from those collisions caused even some Ancestors watching from afar to tremble inwardly.
“Just as estimated, the strength of the Cultivator faction has already surpassed my Icepeak faction.” Icepeak Ancestor watched from afar. Could the twenty percent of territory currently occupied by the Icepeak faction still be defended?
“89 Ancestors working together are only comparable to eight Lords?” Some of the other Ancestors watching the battle now also confirmed the strength of the Cultivator side.
Suddenly——
Luo Feng burned his main combat clone, and the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand instantly expanded enormously. World of Destruction Power also augmented the Blood Shadow Blade as he instantly chopped outward.
At this moment, among the eight Lords, everyone except ‘Wulan’ burned their main combat clones. With the cooperation of the Formation Array, all of their imposing might completely merged into the sharpest Blood Shadow Blade in Luo Feng’s hand.
The Blood Shadow Blade contained inconceivable might and also carried the characteristic of being able to cleave through all matter and energy!
“Chi chi chi——”
Although the Formation Array of the 89 Ancestors possessed formidable defenses, at this moment, the eight Lords joined forces and unleashed a blade strike centered around Luo Feng, forcibly cleaving through every obstruction! Even the coordinated power of dozens of highest-level forces could not block this blade, and all were severed apart!
The blade light was too fast, instantly landing on ‘Dark Roc Ancestor’ within the protection of layer upon layer of Formation Arrays.
The instant the blade struck, fluctuations, Destruction, Thunder, Severing Vitality…… all kinds of powers erupted within Dark Roc Ancestor’s body. Although the numerous layers of Formation Arrays formed by the 89 Ancestors brought all kinds of survival powers over to envelop Dark Roc Ancestor, seeking to save it.
But Dark Roc Ancestor was precisely the Ancestor the Cultivator side had selected through the ‘Years Killing Formation’ as the easiest one to deal with!
The instant the blade light struck, numerous powers erupted simultaneously, instantly annihilating the hidden Life Core. Even its corpse was instantly carried away by space-time.
Dark Roc Ancestor died in battle!
The Innate Primordial faction’s side fell from 89 Ancestors to 88, leaving these Ancestors horrified and causing the other factions watching the battle to feel alarmed.
“They were already being this cautious, yet an Ancestor still died?” Even the Nine Emperors found it difficult to accept.
