I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 655 655: Sword Suppresses the Three Ancestors, Awe-Shaking Hongyuan

"Master/Grandmaster, watch out!"

Within the Wendao Sect, all who witnessed this moment shouted warnings in panic. Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen alone stayed quiet—they were utterly convinced their Master would emerge unscathed.

True to their faith, high above, Chu Feng swung his feather fan once more, summoning a majestic dharma form that loomed behind him. That enormous hand of the dharma form casually intercepted the furious blow from the Qilin Ancestor.

"This can't be real!"

The Qilin Ancestor, beholding this sight, instinctively blurted out in astonishment, his gaze brimming with utter incredulity.

The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor stared wide-eyed at the human standing before them, filled with profound shock. They never imagined he possessed such overwhelming strength.

Based on their past clashes with the Qilin Ancestor, that previous attack had unleashed seventy percent of his might, but this human had deflected it with effortless grace.

The beings from the three clans felt the deepest astonishment. For the first time, they encountered a mighty figure who could withstand a strike from one of the Three Ancestors. What sort of formidable entity was this man?

"Who are you truly, sir?"

The Phoenix Ancestor, ever the calmest, posed the question first.

"I am the Dao Ancestor."

With a gentle smile, Chu Feng revealed his esteemed title.

Dao Ancestor!!!

These two words etched themselves indelibly into the thoughts of every being there. He stood as the fourth transcendent power to surpass divinity in this realm.

The Dragon Ancestor pressed on, "Then, this blessed land in the Central Continent must have been claimed by you, Dao Ancestor, long ago."

"Indeed. Should you three wisely withdraw now and vow never to encroach on the Central Continent again, I'll overlook the events of this day."

While fanning himself lightly, Chu Feng delivered these words, his demeanor suggesting he bestowed an immense mercy upon the Three Ancestors.

To the Three Ancestors, his words and delivery rang as blatant insult and scorn.

As sovereigns of the Hongyuan Continent, the Three Ancestors had only ever faced challenges from one another. When had they endured such affront? If they failed to subdue this self-proclaimed human Dao Ancestor today, how could they maintain their dominance over the continent and command the myriad clans henceforth?

The Dragon Ancestor instinctively moved to the Qilin Ancestor's side, with the Phoenix Ancestor trailing right behind. The Qilin Ancestor harbored no resentment toward their approach.

From the Qilin Ancestor's perspective, the pair had chosen to align with him. He declared: "Phoenix Ancestor, your prior idea was spot on. Today, we three shall unite to claim this land's blessings, then split the Central Continent into three shares. Dragon Ancestor, your thoughts?"

The Dragon Ancestor gave a firm nod: "Agreed."

In the past, he would have rejected such an offer outright. Leaving the Central Continent undivided risked birthing another Ancestor there, which boded ill for the Dragon clan. Dividing it now proved wiser—even if they later yielded to the other two clans, the Dragons could still hold sway over the oceans.

Every word of the Three Ancestors' discussion reached Chu Feng's ears clearly. Upon hearing it, amusement lit his face, and he chuckled: "You three overestimate yourselves greatly. Earlier, had you simply retreated to your own territories, I might have let you live. But now, I'll not only subdue you, but also seize your three clans' fortunes, dooming them to eternal decline!"

"Such hubris!"

The Qilin Ancestor bellowed in rage: "Dao Ancestor, today I'll witness exactly how you plan to confront us Three Ancestors single-handedly!"

With those words spoken, the radiant divine light around him intensified dramatically. In a flash, his glow enveloped the entire Hongyuan Continent, as a vast domain began to take shape.

Not to be outdone, the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor surged forward. The former expelled a gleaming golden dragon pearl, which, upon emergence, unleashed the Dragon Ancestor's domain alongside it. The latter morphed into a blazing inferno resembling the sun itself.

As this blaze ignited, the actual sun overhead faded away, seemingly intimidated by the Phoenix Ancestor's scorching brilliance. Thus, the Phoenix Ancestor's domain revealed itself to all.

Turning the world upside down—this was the true terror of a Divine King?

The notion crossed Chu Feng's thoughts. Moments later, beams of immortal light burst from his form. These beams merged overhead into a brilliant portal of light.

Chu Feng advanced with a single stride. The instant he crossed the light portal, a cry of surprise echoed from the heavens.

That voice resembled the Heavenly Dao's own utterance. It appeared Chu Feng's entry had even alarmed the Heavenly Dao.

Boom rumble!

Above, bolts of lightning cracked and thunder boomed fiercely. Torrential rains cascaded down, while the sun, moon, and stars lost their luster.

However, not one raindrop fell upon the Four Ancestors hovering in the sky.

At that instant, every Witch God, Demon God, Great Witch, and Demon Emperor across the Hongyuan Continent fixed their eyes on the skies over the Wendao Sect.

Gazing upon those four supreme figures, a profound reverence stirred within their souls. Some even whispered prayers, hoping this clash among titans wouldn't shatter the world.

"Sword, come forth!"

Chu Feng's voice thundered. Abruptly, a sharp sword hum resounded from deep within the Wendao Sect. A sacred blade soared out and settled into Chu Feng's grip.

Upon seizing the sword, his presence swelled to an even more intimidating level. This overwhelming pressure sent shivers through the Three Ancestors' cores.

Yet retreat was no longer an option for the Three Ancestors. This clash defined the era's supremacy. Today, victory and defeat—and life itself—hung in the balance between the two forces.

Chu Feng ignored the Three Ancestors entirely. Turning instead to his disciples and grand-disciples in the sect, he proclaimed: "Today, I shall show you how to wield the power of the Great Dao in combat. This sword stems from my insight of this day. I name it the Dao Sword. It serves as a sword art, yet it can embody any technique.

This blade transcends mere shape, embodying the Dao itself. With one strike, I command the myriad Daos."

"You insolent fool, lacking even a domain's comprehension, yet daring to claim the title of Ancestor. You're a joke!"

The Qilin Ancestor, perceiving no domain from Chu Feng after so long, started to taunt him.

"Is this vague, half-formed thing of yours worthy of being called a domain?"

Chu Feng remarked casually. Back at the Sage Palace, he had observed the Wendao Academy's ancestor deploy a domain. In contrast, the Qilin Ancestor's version relied solely on Great Dao laws. Provided his blade proved keen enough, shattering it posed no challenge.

"Hmph!"

The Dragon Ancestor let out a cold huff: "Boy, facing your doom and still bluffing. Today, we'll demonstrate a true domain's power."

The Phoenix Ancestor remained silent, merely extending his domain quietly.

Suddenly, the Three Ancestors' domains surged toward Chu Feng. Though they expanded gradually, the domains sealed off time and space around them. Escape for Chu Feng was impossible now.

Chu Feng always entered battles fully prepared. He drew upon the Great Dao laws coursing through him, channeling them into the sacred sword he held, then cleaved toward the Three Ancestors' domains.

Clang!

Even before the blade descended, a colossal ten-thousand-foot sword beam rent the heavens and earth apart. Everywhere the beam swept, bizarre occurrences vanished. Sunbeams poured down from above, slicing through the lands where the sword light had carved its path.

The Three Ancestors showed no fear of the incoming sword. Scorn deepened in their stares. To them, this opponent's fearsome aura meant little without a domain; he remained as fragile as any Demon God or Witch God.

The blade struck true. The domain encircling the Qilin Ancestor shattered in an instant. He stood rigid, eyes locked on Chu Feng in sheer horror.

The remaining two Ancestors halted mid-air, stunned, forgetting to press their domains further.

Chu Feng afforded no foe a moment to recover. Following the slash, he delivered a simple thrust. That unadorned stab lanced straight through the Qilin Ancestor's form.

The Qilin Ancestor, still reeling from the shock, sensed his awareness fading. Darkness encroached on his vision, despite the clear sunlight ahead. Why did everything dim like this?

Far worse, he found his body beyond his command, as if some essence ebbed away.

Quickly, he understood: his divine soul and awareness were dissolving. In his dying breath, the Qilin Ancestor murmured: "This... this defies belief."

His voice faded, and the Qilin Ancestor's enormous frame tumbled from the skies, hurtling toward the earth below. A stream of golden fortune light erupted from him, streaming into Chu Feng.

Once the golden fortune light merged with Chu Feng's body, a system alert echoed in his mind: You have subdued the Qilin Ancestor and claimed the Qilin clan's fortune. Dao Flowers increased by 999.

So, this is the fortune innate to such a being?

Remarkably potent. Had the Three Ancestors all perished in mutual ruin today, scattering into the world, this fortune would have scattered among the hundred clans.

Yet now, all this fortune light belongs to me!

Chu Feng lifted the sacred sword deliberately and stated coolly: "Who's next?"

The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor snapped back to reality at these words. Mercy wasn't sought. Instead, they unleashed their auras to maximum intensity.

In perfect harmony, they declared: "You seek to slay us and claim this continent alone? Pure fantasy. Even in death, we'll drag you down with us."

Chu Feng recognized this pattern well. The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor's stances signaled their intent to detonate themselves.

He offered no reply. The sword whipped through the air once more, shattering the pair's domains. At last, with a fluid, elegant flourish, he returned the blade to its sheath in a seamless arc.

The two Ancestors' auras, which had peaked moments before, abruptly vanished. They gazed at Chu Feng in disbelief, whispering: "We refuse to accept this..."
