CHAPTER 879: CHAPTER 588: THE IMMINENT GREAT BATTLE!

"Forgive me, Ancestor!"

A cold voice echoed in the dark cavern, followed by a burst of blue light that appeared and slowly dissipated after a moment.

In the center of the cavern, the Heavy Pupil Youth lifted his head with eyes closed, his body covered in blood, a fist-sized hole in his chest, and wings on his back violently torn, exuding an aura of weakness.

However, as the Bloodline Power from the bronze fragments surged forth, the torn wings on his back began to regrow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hole in his chest healed rapidly.

In just a few breaths, the Heavy Pupil Youth’s aura returned from weak to mighty, and on his forehead, a flesh seam slowly appeared as if something was about to be born from it.

"Demon Ancestor Gu Jia!!!"

The Heavy Pupil Youth roared furiously, his eyes filled with hatred almost tangible, his entire aura surging and causing the cavern to shake violently.

This continued for a moment until his rage subsided, and his aura gradually calmed, though the hatred in his eyes grew even stronger.

Previously, he killed a Daoist who attempted to seize his ancestor’s inheritance without much thought, but the Great Han who appeared afterward nearly led him astray!

If he hadn’t absorbed a substantial amount of Bloodline Power and gradually transformed into the true form of the Heavenly Abyss Ancient Clan, rapidly boosting his strength to the Divine Ancient Realm, he would have been slain by the Demon Ancestor Gu Jia, even with the Extreme Ancient Soldier Fragment!

"Bloodline Power!!"

"I need more Bloodline Power!!"

"As long as I devour enough Bloodline Power and fully transform into the true form of the Ancient Clan, I can take down that Demon Ancestor Gu Jia!"

"Not only that, but I want to obliterate all the ants who dared to enter the Inheritance Land!"

The Heavy Pupil Youth, feeling the power surging within his body, glanced down at the Extreme Ancient Soldier Fragment in his hand. His figure flickered before leaving the spot, heading toward the next cavern containing Ancient Clan relics.

...

"Who could have inflicted such severe injuries on you?"

The Buddha furrowed his brow and asked the weary Demon Ancestor across from him with some seriousness.

Though numerous powerful figures from the Nine Provinces entered the Inheritance Land this time, some reaching the Divine Ancient Realm, none should have caused the Demon Ancestor such severe harm.

Especially since the Demon Ancestor had refined the Rule Essence, which, while not greatly enhancing his strength, had firmly stabilized his foundation, naturally boosting his combat power significantly.

Yet, he still suffered such grievous wounds under these circumstances, suggesting that the opponent’s strength might have neared the pinnacle of the Divine Ancient Realm!

On hearing his words, a touch of defiant swagger appeared on the Demon Ancestor’s pale face as he slowly replied, "Just minor wounds, and that little thief was injured even more badly. Even if he ran away from me, he won’t live long."

"But you."

The Demon Ancestor turned his gaze to the Buddha, speaking with slight curiosity, "Since the sensory abilities can’t spread in the Inheritance Land, and the terrain is densely packed like an ant nest, how did you find me?"

The Buddha pressed his palms together and calmly responded, "Causal Divine Skills, nothing significant."

"Heh, you sure have a lot of tricks."

The towering figure stood up and said solemnly, "Let’s go then, since you have also fully refined the Rule Essence, let’s kill as many as we can."

Although many powerful figures from the Nine Provinces entered the Inheritance Land, if we can leave them all here, it will significantly ease the pressure in confronting the Nine Provinces’ powerhouses.

Moreover, it’s not impossible that the Nine Provinces’ strong ones are hunting those from the Chaos Sea.

The Buddha nodded in agreement and stood up. Having fully stepped into the Ancient Realm, the allure of the inheritance in this Land of Rules had diminished for them.

The two figures transformed into streaks of light, quickly leaving the current cavern and, under the Buddha’s Divine Skills, began searching for the nearest Nine Provinces’ powerhouses.

However, after passing through hundreds of caverns, they saw no sign of anyone, whether from the Nine Provinces’ side or their own Chaos Sea side, as if they were the only two in the entire Inheritance Land.

"Is your divine skill truly effective?"

The Demon Ancestor looked somewhat doubtfully at the Buddha.

At that moment, the Buddha’s figure suddenly halted, then he sat cross-legged in the void, chanting scriptures, as a vertical eye, filled with blood threads, opened on his forehead, swiftly scanning the surroundings.

Seeing this gesture, the Demon Ancestor stopped beside the Buddha, silently waiting for his findings; he could fight, but lacked such means.

A few breaths later, the vertical eye on the Buddha’s forehead closed, and he stood up again, his expression becoming grave as he spoke, "I rely on causality to search for people, the more it entangles with me, the heavier the cause and effect, the better I can sense the opponent’s location."

The Demon Ancestor’s expression also turned grave, and he spoke solemnly, "You can’t sense the causality of the Nine Provinces’ powerhouses? Or can’t sense our own side’s causality?"

The Buddha shook his head, then spoke, "I saw their causality, all converging in one direction, tangled together!"

The Demon Ancestor’s eyes darkened instantly as he said solemnly, "Hurry up and go!"

Such a situation likely indicates a mass gathering and battle of strong figures from both sides!

Without the two of them, the Chaos Sea side’s strong figures are at a huge disadvantage, both in numbers and combat power!

Before the Demon Ancestor’s words were finished, the Buddha had already transformed into a streak of golden light and rushed out; the Demon Ancestor, looking solemn, quickly followed as a streak of black light.

Upon opening the Heavenly Eye and seeing the causal threads more clearly, the Buddha’s grasp of their location became more precise. After passing through nearly a thousand caverns, a strong smell of blood finally emerged in their senses.

"Not good!!"

The hearts of the Buddha and Demon Ancestors suddenly sank.

When they stepped out of the passage into a broad cavern, what met their eyes was devastation, scarlet blood nearly covering half the cavern, and several familiar weapon fragments floating within.

A group of powerful figures from the Nine Provinces sat there like a pack of man-eating wolves, silently waiting for their next prey.

As soon as the Buddha and Demon Ancestors appeared, these Nine Provinces powerhouses immediately focused their gazes on them, with fierce malice beneath their sinister smiles.

"Two big fish this time."

The nearest Nine Provinces powerhouse stood up with a sinister smile, his eyes fixed on the Buddha and Demon Ancestors as he laughed softly, "You ants are truly interesting, able to find each other without us having to look for you ourselves.

"You’ve really saved us a lot of trouble."

As his voice fell, his entire form turned into a shadow, twisting into a six-winged, four-armed monster, appearing before the Buddha and Demon Ancestors, and launched a fierce attack!
