High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1136: Chapter 542: Battle with the Taoist Ancestor_2

The Seven Great Ancestors, as part of the Heavenly Dao, their true bodies cannot leave the realm covered by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, they have never set foot in the Myriad Spring Void, as this void contains another origin.

Their descent now comes at the cost of a massive number of Heavenly Immortal lives, forming a briefly condensed incarnation.

In the past, if the World Tree Origin hadn’t weakened, the number of Heavenly Immortals needed to condense such an incarnation would be three times more.

Even so, this incarnation won’t last long.

This is why during the long years, they have never used this technique to descend.

“Swish!”

Hong Guang Daozu transformed into a green light, and a gust of wind surged through the heavens and earth, his palms like a Heavenly Knife, directly slashing towards Li Yuan.

This saber hand carried the complete conception of the Dao of Wind, and its might was terrifying.

Li Yuan’s eyes remained icy cold, he didn’t dodge, choosing instead to confront it head-on.

His long spear suddenly cleaved forward in fury.

The Illusion Moon Divine Spear rapidly enlarged, as if turning into a gigantic Heavenly Pillar, sweeping across with overwhelming force.

“Boom!”

Another terrifying collision.

The seemingly real and illusory gigantic Divine Spear collided with that palm strike that tore the heavens, both Hong Guang Daozu’s incarnation and Li Yuan were sent flying backward simultaneously.

Buzz~ The horrendous aftermath of the clash reverberated in all directions, pressuring many True God battle formations to the point where they couldn’t help but retreat repeatedly… The mere aftershock of the battle seemed to exceed the bearing limits of these True God formations.

“Such a crude move.”

“His physical strength is formidable, far surpassing an Eight-star True God, estimated not far from a Nine Star True God, yet his moves, despite mastering the complete basic Dao, seem inferior to even many newly ascended Celestial Gods, truly bizarre.”

With his high perspective, Li Yuan swiftly perceived it: “It’s as if he’s merely fighting by instinct using the complete Dao.”

These Daozu incarnations, their combined strength, seemed merely equivalent to his own.

Not even reaching the threshold of the Celestial Gate.

The so-called Celestial Gate threshold is the power level of a newly ascended Seven-star Celestial God, without using any Star Technique.

“One wonders about the strength of the other Daozu incarnations.” Countless thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind, as he transmitted, “Grand Hall Master, retreat quickly.”

…

No need for Li Yuan’s reminder.

Seeing Li Yuan and Hong Guang Daozu’s frontal clash barely end in a stalemate.

“Retreat!” Five Hall Masters and other Pantheon high-ranking officials already sensed the unfavorable situation.

After all, Li Yuan was alone.

While there were seven Daozu.

Five Hall Masters immediately issued the order: “The True God battle formations under ordinary Hall Masters’ command, return to Cangxue City at once.”

Currently, nearly all of the Dao Court army at the forefront of the battlefield were dead, the rest had fled far, while the speed of most True God formations wasn’t adequate enough, so chasing was no longer effective.

Yet the descending threat of the Seven Great Ancestors was too significant.

However, as long as a large number of True Gods could return to Cangxue City, with the formation set by the Life Tree, over ten thousand True Gods could defend, capable of holding off even an actual Celestial God.

Consider defeat before considering victory.

The moment the unfavorable situation was detected, Five Hall Masters decided to preserve the victory fruits.

In the eyes of Five Hall Masters, the battle harvest was already immense, not only killing a large number of ordinary Heavenly Immortals, but most importantly having killed more than half of the Heavenly Monarchs of the Seven Dao Courts… Even if in the future Li Yuan left and the Dao Court army returned, it would be hard to muster so many top formations again.

But all of this is predicated on.

The Pantheon army being able to retreat safely.

…

“Immediately!”

“Reform the formation! Counterattack!” While commanding the remaining Heavenly Monarchs to reorganize the Dao Court army for a counterattack, the Seven Great Ancestors’ incarnations charged explosively towards Li Yuan.

Their first target upon descending was to kill Li Yuan.

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”

Innumerable vines spawned out of nothing in the void, frantically attacking Li Yuan, as the ’Heavenly Wood Daozu’ wielding the Law of Wood unleashed a powerful spell, with countless vines binding and crushing, making it difficult even for the Chaos Heaven and Earth Domain to suppress.

Causing Li Yuan’s speed to sharply decrease.

“Go!”

Jin Luo Daozu moved like an enormous Combat Saber, transforming into dazzling golden light that slashed towards Li Yuan.

“Kill!”

Li Yuan too, imposing and fearless, his pupils turned red: “Let them all besiege me, and it gives others the time to retreat.”

The great battle erupted in an instant.

The Seven Great Ancestors, simultaneously besieging Li Yuan alone, this terrifying scene shook both parties’ True Gods and Heavenly Immortals with fear and awe.

They only saw terrifying ripples of Dao spreading, followed by overwhelming flames and flowing water, intertwined like water and fire dragons, crazily wrapping around the immense True God battle formation.

Streaks of thunder.

Blade lights like golden lightning fractured the layers of space… While the all-encompassing green vines covered all, obscuring the battlefield from external view.

But evidently.

The battle was extremely fierce.

“The Seven Great Ancestors descending, besieging one person at once?”

“Seven Stars brother, can you hold?”

“This!” All True Gods trembled with fear.

This gruesome spectacle of slaughter, any ripple could annihilate an ordinary True God, virtually no one dared to join the battle, completely out of their league.

Except for those nine figures.

“Quick!”

“Join forces, share part of the pressure on Seven Stars brother.”

“Give all to save Seven Stars brother!” At the first moment of ordering the army’s retreat, Five Hall Masters and the other eight Elder Palace Masters led the True God battle formations, charging towards the area where Li Yuan and the Seven Great Ancestors were.
