Yang Chen intervenes in a fight between Spirit Gods and Ghost Ancestors, subtly altering time and space to aid the Ghost Ancestors and thwart the Spirit Gods' plan to claim the corpses. Yang Chen declares his intention to capture the Ghost Ancestors alive for his own purposes. He then summons Asura, Extreme Heavenly Way, to assist him. A coordinated attack begins, with Yang Chen using his control over space-time to hinder the Ghost Ancestors while Extreme Heavenly Way attempts to subdue them.

To him, subduing a Heavenly Extreme Realm Ghost Ancestor was more than simply defeating such a being.

"Fellow Daoist Extreme Heavenly Way, hand him over to me," Yang Chen declared.

Extreme Heavenly Way seized the Ghost Ancestor and presented him to Yang Chen.

Without a moment's pause, Yang Chen immediately initiated a Time-Space Restriction upon the Ghost Ancestor, binding him with multiple seals, irrespective of any underlying justifications.

Once these seals were in place, the Ghost Ancestor found himself severely impeded, struggling to make any significant movement.

At this juncture, Yang Chen unfurled the Luo Tian Scripture, enveloping the Ghost Ancestor's form with its divine aura.

The remaining two Ghost Ancestors, along with the two formidable Spirit God Race observers positioned on the periphery, were rendered utterly speechless. They had never envisioned Extreme Heavenly Way to possess such overwhelming ferocity. Within a remarkably short span, one Ghost Ancestor had been thoroughly subdued by Extreme Heavenly Way!

"What exactly is Yang Chen attempting?" the two remaining Ghost Ancestors inquired amongst themselves.

"This brat is employing the Servitude Restriction on our Dragon Soul Ghost Ancestor, aiming to convert him into one of his own," another Ghost Ancestor spat out through gritted teeth.

The discussion between the two Ghost Ancestors plunged them into disarray.

The primary cause for their consternation was Extreme Heavenly Way, who stood not far away. The secondary, of course, was Yang Chen.

Neither of them were individuals to be trifled with. Extreme Heavenly Way, in particular, displayed a level of strength so immense it caused them to quake in fear, deterring any thought of direct confrontation.

The two Ghost Ancestors, far from being foolish, understood that to contend with Yang Chen, Priority one was to neutralize Extreme Heavenly Way as swiftly as possible.

In an instant, both Ghost Ancestors unleashed their unique secret techniques, their World Treasures being sequentially brought forth.

Having already suffered a significant setback, they dared not continue to underestimate Extreme Heavenly Way. They channeled their utmost strength to confront him.

However, Extreme Heavenly Way exhibited absolutely no sign of apprehension, as if the concentrated might of the two Ghost Ancestors held no sway over him whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen, who had been diligently employing the Luo Tian Scripture, had already accomplished half of the purification process on the captive Ghost Ancestor.

The purification of a potent entity such as a Ghost Ancestor naturally demanded a considerable expenditure of effort.

Nevertheless, the purification was nearing its completion at this very moment.

"Disperse!"

Yang Chen clenched his fist, and in that instant, the Ghost Qi that had previously enshrouded the Ghost Ancestor dissipated entirely. He was transformed into a raw, incorporeal soul body.

This particular soul body was not unfamiliar to Yang Chen.

In his former life, this soul had been a mighty figure within the Ruthless Beast Race, a powerhouse at the Heavenly Extreme Realm. However, following his demise, he had tragically fallen into the clutches of the Netherworld, becoming a Ghost Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist, I doubt I need to elaborate on the situation; you should already comprehend it," Yang Chen stated calmly, his gaze fixed upon this Daozu of the Ruthless Beast Race, who had attained the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

The Ruthless Beast Race Daozu experienced a fleeting moment of intense headache as he regarded Yang Chen, but he quickly regained his composure.

"So it was you, Fellow Daoist, who purified me. I am indebted to you for saving my life. I never imagined I would remain under the Netherworld's control for so many years..." The Ruthless Beast Race Daozu's expression grew stern, and he spoke in a low, resonant voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen cut directly to the chase: "You now have two options."

He proceeded to clearly outline the choices available to this Ruthless Beast Race Daozu.

From his perspective, he would not expend his efforts to rescue these Dao Ancestor-level experts without expecting something in return.

Following their deliverance, certain recompenses were naturally anticipated.

What distinguished him from, say, Yan WeiYi, was that Yang Chen would refrain from employing methods of subjugation to control these potent beings.

However, should they refuse to yield to his counsel, he would be compelled to force these powerful entities into reincarnation, to begin their existence anew.

Yet, for beings who had ascended to the Heavenly Extreme Realm and were now reduced to mere soul bodies, pledging allegiance to Yang Chen, independent of their former racial ties, represented undoubtedly the most advantageous path forward.

Choosing reincarnation would be an act of profound foolishness for any cultivator who had reached such a pinnacle of power.

Consequently, the Ruthless Beast Race Daozu did not hesitate significantly, promptly declaring, "Brother Yang Chen, I choose to aid you. I shall immediately assist Fellow Daoist in subduing the remaining two Ghost Ancestors."

The Heavenly Extreme Realm Daozu of this Ruthless Beast Race acted with immediate resolve the moment he voiced his decision.

However, before he could even initiate his move, a resounding cacophony erupted from the ongoing battlefield.

In a flash, as their senses returned, Extreme Heavenly Way, from a nearby vantage point, was already dragging the two Ghost Ancestors – battered to the point of utter incapacity – and calmly strode back.

With an impassive visage, Extreme Heavenly Way remained as unperturbed as ever, as if the feat of subduing two Ancestor-level powerhouses presented no challenge to him whatsoever.

Witnessing this, the assembled powerful figures couldn't help but blanch, their hearts filled with profound awe at Extreme Heavenly Way’s immense might.

"Brother Yang Chen, these two Ghost Ancestors have been neutralized. I have fulfilled the task you assigned me," Extreme Heavenly Way declared, as if hauling two lifeless bodies, presenting the incapacitated Ghost Ancestors before Yang Chen.

He had managed to preserve a sliver of life within both Ghost Ancestors.

Yang Chen received the soul bodies of the two Ghost Ancestors and cast a placid gaze upon the formidable Spirit God Race members standing a short distance away.

Both Ancestors from the Spirit God Race were rendered speechless and utterly stunned, their minds reeling from the spectacle they had just witnessed.

The realization that Yang Chen, in conjunction with Extreme Heavenly Way, could annihilate three Ghost Ancestors implied their own Spirit God Race could also be eradicated. This was particularly alarming given Extreme Heavenly Way's deep-seated animosity towards their race.

Furthermore, the most critical development was an astonishing feat Yang Chen had just accomplished...

Yang Chen had, through an extraordinary method, transformed one of the Ghost Ancestors into an obedient subordinate.

"Extreme Heavenly Way, what disposition do you intend for these two Spirit God Races?" Yang Chen inquired.

"Their fate is in your hands. My vengeance is not something I am in a rush to claim at this moment," Extreme Heavenly Way responded with composure.

Upon hearing Extreme Heavenly Way's decision, a subtle smirk played on Yang Chen's lips.

While Extreme Heavenly Way projected an air of indifference, his actions revealed a shrewd perceptiveness.

Even with his current formidable strength, an outright retaliation against the Spirit God Race would yield no benefit to himself or, by extension, Yang Chen.

Yang Chen himself harbored the desire to eliminate the Spirit God Race then and there, but the prevailing crisis within the Netherworld necessitated avoiding any major conflict between the Human Race and the Spirit God Race.

Any such conflict would ultimately weaken them, leaving the Netherworld as the sole beneficiary of their internal strife.

Naturally, Yang Chen wished to avert such an outcome. Thus, his expression turned grave as he spoke in a low, commanding tone, "Are you two still lingering here? Do you intend to provoke a confrontation with me, Yang Mou?"

Hearing Yang Chen's stern words, the two Spirit God Race members visibly trembled. They dared not instigate any conflict with Yang Chen, not even uttering a single word, and promptly departed the scene.

A profound sense of humiliation washed over the two experts of the Spirit God Race.

As esteemed members of the renowned Spirit God Race, being forced to flee in disgrace was an unbearable indignity.

Watching the two Spirit God Race members retreat in palpable fear, Yang Chen commenced the execution of his strategic plan.

In Yang Chen's estimation, these two unconscious Ghost Ancestors represented two potent Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses now under his command.

Yang Chen did not intend to be careless. He immediately unfurled the Luo Tian Scripture and initiated the purification process upon them.
