Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 698: Feather Ancestor

WHOOSH!

Upon opening the two new Divine Gates of Rest and Dune, Lord War Sect’s blood energy billowed around him like a vast ocean, rushing skyward. In an instant, a giant wall of blood formed behind him. RUMBLE... RUMBLE... The powerful blood energy continuously emitted a sound like a tsunami, exceptionally startling.

Ye Yun nodded inwardly. Indeed, the Eight Extremes Divine Art of the Eight God Sect was truly unique. It utilized demon beast blood to temper the physical body while simultaneously activating the mysterious Divine Gates within, further enhancing one’s physical might. This Divine Technique had enabled human cultivators to surpass most of the Demon Clan in bodily strength. It was truly a pioneering achievement. Therefore, it was no wonder the Nine Li Demon Clan was so frail within the Immortal Pond Small World. One could only say that the Eight God Sect was far too formidable. The reclusive Seven Star Clan could only hide within Seven Star Mountain, daring not to face the Eight God Sect’s might directly.

"Oh my, he opened two Divine Gates in succession?" Big Black Cat remarked sarcastically, looking up at the battle overhead. "This Lord War Sect has flown into a rage out of shame! But he’s such a fool. Doesn’t he know that opening all five gates at once would save Master some effort?"

"Cat Brother, if Lord War Sect were to open all five gates, I’m afraid we’d all have to flee for our lives from this place..." the yellow-robed youth said with a bitter smile.

"Flee for our lives, my ass! With Master here, we’re perfectly safe!" Big Black Cat chuckled smugly.

Seeing Big Black Cat’s smug demeanor, Mu Qing giggled, covering her mouth.

Jin Xiaotian and his son exchanged silent glances. They increasingly found Ye Yun to be profoundly enigmatic. This time, numerous experts from the Eight God Sect had arrived, all of them in the Eternal Realm. Even if all Nine Great Demon Ancestors of the Nine Li Demon Clan were to appear, they would be no match for these powerhouses. Yet, this Senior Ye Yun remained completely unfazed...

Just then, Lord War Sect, his entire body blazing with boiling blood energy, descended beside Ye Yun and slammed his fist down. This punch shattered the void. With three Divine Gates open, an endless torrent of blood energy poured into his physical body, making him resemble a crimson War God.

Jin Xiaotian was dumbfounded. In all his long life, he had never witnessed such a spectacle: an Eternal Realm expert from the Eight God Sect opening three gates.

He’s too strong! I wonder if Senior will be able to withstand it... Jin Xiaotian thought anxiously.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion resounded, and the entire Nine Li Divine Mountain began to tremble violently. At this moment, countless Nine Li Demon Clan members, utterly aghast, soared into the sky, looking towards the source of the commotion.

「In an ancient cave dwelling.」

Tiger Ancestor gazed at the astonishing scene outside, his face deathly pale. "We cannot afford to provoke the people from the Eight God Sect!"

Beside him, an elderly man in feathered robes, his hair white as snow, shook his head and sighed. This elder was at the Seventh Level of the Eternal Realm. Among the Nine Great Demon Ancestors, his cultivation base ranked the highest. He was none other than Feather Ancestor, one of the Nine Great Demon Ancestors.

"Although we cannot afford to offend them, this incident is happening on Nine Li Divine Mountain. The nine of us Demon Ancestors must make an appearance..." Tiger Ancestor said after a moment’s thought.

"Agreed!" Feather Ancestor assented. With a wave of his large sleeve, several beams of light shot into the sky.

As the two stepped out of the cave dwelling, they saw several more beams of light descend before its entrance. These were the other Great Demon Ancestors. These Eternal Realm Demon Ancestors each exuded an incredibly powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath, almost surpassing that of Bear Ancestor.

"Greetings, Tiger Ancestor, Feather Ancestor!" the arriving Demon Ancestors greeted politely.

"Let’s go. Since this matter has occurred on our Nine Li Divine Mountain, it wouldn’t be right if we Great Demon Ancestors didn’t show ourselves!" Feather Ancestor declared gravely.

"We shall follow Feather Ancestor’s lead!" The Great Demon Ancestors, their expressions solemn, all understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.

Figures flickered. The Eight Great Monster Ancestors soared through the air, swiftly arriving above the valley.

"Greetings to the esteemed sirs from the Eight God Sect!" Feather Ancestor said very courteously, clasping his fists.

"You few Demon Ancestors just stand there obediently and don’t move. This matter has nothing to do with you!" the middle-aged man from the Eight God Sect—an expert at the Second Level of the Eternal Realm—replied dismissively, his back to them, waving a casual hand.

It seemed that in his eyes, these Nine Great Demon Ancestors were merely insignificant figures.

"We understand," Feather Ancestor acknowledged with a solemn nod, then led the other Demon Ancestors to stand quietly to the side.

The Demon Ancestors’ gazes naturally drifted towards Ye Yun. They sensed the Super Divine Dragon Breath of the Life and Death Realm on him. What astonished them, however, was that this young Demon Clan man, despite his realm, had forced Lord War Sect—a First Level Eternal Realm expert—to open three Divine Gates simultaneously.

At this moment, Lord War Sect, enveloped in dense Qi and blood, looked ferocious and exceptionally intimidating. HUFF... HUFF... He panted heavily, staring intently at the light shield.

Just what level of the Eternal Realm is this fellow? Otherwise, how could a mere light shield condensed from mana withstand my attack? Lord War Sect frowned, his gaze growing increasingly sharp.

His peripheral vision caught the black-robed young man and the strikingly beautiful woman in black attire below. Without a doubt, these three individuals were unique; he had never seen them before, as if they had materialized out of thin air.

These three... could they also be from the outside world? As this thought suddenly surfaced, Lord War Sect’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he stared fixedly at Ye Yun. Are the Demon Clan from the outside world truly this powerful?

In the Immortal Pond world, the Eight God Sect reigned supreme, unrivaled. In a battle between peers of the same level, no one could defeat a member of the Eight God Sect. Yet now, this white-robed young man, seemingly an outsider, possessed the strength to defeat him easily.

Now, Lord War Sect no longer doubted their previous encounter. This white-robed young man possesses astonishing strength and is also proficient in a formidable Mental Attack type Divine Skill. Once he uses it, I’ll be doomed!

Thinking of this, a profound sense of crisis welled up in Lord War Sect’s heart.

Seeing the constant shifts in Lord War Sect’s expression, Ye Yun remarked playfully, "Still not opening all five gates? Perhaps if you open five, you’ll have a chance to break my light shield!"

"Arrogant!" Lord War Sect bellowed furiously. He struck two points on his own body with his fists.

HUMMM...

At that instant, a sound like the tolling of a great bell, resonant and vast, emanated from within Lord War Sect’s body. The sound was sacred and immense, as if ancient saints were chanting.

"Scenery Gate—OPEN!"

"Open Gate—OPEN!"

Lord War Sect roared, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets. His aura surged, creating an earth-shattering momentum. The valley itself began to collapse in several places under the force of his voice.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and pointed a finger downwards. An invisible barrier instantly enveloped the area below the valley, protecting it.

He finally opened five gates. This commotion is somewhat interesting... Ye Yun thought, looking at Lord War Sect, who was now engulfed in monstrous blood energy, and nodded silently.

The blood energy surrounding Lord War Sect now blanketed the sky above the entire valley. The dense, crimson light was like the advent of a bloody apocalypse, evoking an indescribable, eerie dread.

"So powerful!" Tiger Ancestor whispered. "After opening five gates, Lord War Sect’s strength is probably comparable to an expert at the Fourth Level of the Eternal Realm, isn’t it?"

"It should be. Each Divine Gate of the Eight God Sect, once opened, unleashes power that is difficult to imagine..." Feather Ancestor sighed, a flicker of almost imperceptible humiliation in his eyes.

The overwhelming blood energy that Lord War Sect radiated was almost entirely derived from the blood of their Nine Li Demon Clan members. The glory of the Eight God Sect was, naturally, built upon the decline of the Nine Li Demon Clan.
