Dao Ancestor Secret Sword is slain by Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire within the dangerous Fireflame Forbidden Zone, prompting Ye Tian to exercise extreme caution. Seeking a safer path to power, Dao Ancestor Power Demon begins a brutal campaign to sacrifice the population of the Immortal True Nation to the Haotian Imperial Mirror. Recognizing the threat, Ye Tian agrees to intervene at the behest of True Ancestor Sheyue. Upon arriving at the Immortal True Nation, Ye Tian confronts the marauding Dao Ancestor, trapping him with his Forbidden Domain before the panicked fugitive can escape.

Ye Tian’s Forbidden Domain was exceptionally potent. Dao Ancestor Power Demon, however mighty, struggled to breach it, which rendered a swift escape impossible.

“True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, do you honestly believe I’m afraid of you?” Dao Ancestor Power Demon bellowed in exasperation.

Boom! His stature expanded rapidly in a terrifying metamorphosis, evolving into a gargantuan bull demon that stretched across billions of feet. This was his true Primeval Chaos Lifeform manifestation.

Once retaken his original form, he launched a direct assault against Ye Tian.

The impact of his charge mirrored a collapsing cosmos, burdened by the crushing weight of the Vast Sea that hammered everything in its vicinity.

“Scram!” Ye Tian commanded with icy detachment. He galvanized his Great Desolate Dao Body and utilized his Selfless Void to suppress the surrounding void, unleashing the full intensity of his Forbidden Body. Brandishing the Myriad Fiends True Spear, he wove together countless Forbidden Dao patterns and surged forward.

Pfft!

The massive frame of Dao Ancestor Power Demon was pierced through instantly, sending sprays of gore and flesh across the expanse.

Simultaneously, the destructive influence of the Forbidden Dao flooded his system, dismantling his internals from within.

“How?! Forbidden Dao!?” He recoiled in sheer disbelief.

That a Supreme True Ancestor could grasp the Forbidden Dao was unthinkable! It was somewhat expected for a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor to master such a path; after all, they possessed the eons of time and the vast opportunities required to reach such heights.

But Ye Tian? By what logic had he achieved this? Furthermore, his proficiency appeared far from superficial!

Panic gripped him. He had severely misjudged Ye Tian’s capabilities. This was no common Supreme True Ancestor—this entity hovered on the precipice of the Supreme True Ancestor summit, possessing power comparable to a standard Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Meanwhile, hampered by the restrictive laws of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, Dao Ancestor Power Demon could only manifest the strength of a top-tier Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Victory was impossible!

He attempted to retreat, but the combined suppression of the Selfless Void and the Forbidden Domain rendered escape a pipe dream. Lacking specialized supreme treasures for fleeing, he found himself completely cornered.

With no other choice, he prepared for a last stand.

From a secluded distance, True Ancestor Sheyue watched the skirmish, his mind reeling with shock.

He had anticipated Ye Tian would merely stall for time until the demon was driven away. It had never crossed his mind that Ye Tian could outright suppress his foe.

This went beyond a standoff; it was absolute subjugation. By all appearances, Dao Ancestor Power Demon faced imminent destruction.

At this thought, True Ancestor Sheyue gasped in alarm.

There was a time when Ye Tian followed his lead, lagging far behind in stature. In such a fleeting moment, Ye Tian had ascended to such a height that Sheyue no longer possessed the status to even look upon him.

With his present strength, Ye Tian could erase him with a mere breath. The abyss between them had become as wide as the heavens and the earth.

As the struggle persisted, the vitality of Dao Ancestor Power Demon ebbed away. Combined with the restrictive environmental effects of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, his power plummeted.

Dropping from his peak Third Heaven manifestation, he plummeted through the levels—high, intermediate, then low Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Abruptly, his strength collapsed into the realm of a Second Heaven Dao Ancestor. Mortally wounded and facing his end, he acknowledged that his fate was sealed.

With his final breath, he hissed a venomous warning: “True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, one day, retribution will…”

Before the threat could be completed, Ye Tian’s Myriad Fiends True Spear drove through his open maw, skewering his Primeval Bull Demon skull and extinguishing his life force permanently.

Dao Ancestor Power Demon was dead.

Only once the battle finished did the True Ancestors of the Immortal True Nation dare to approach. Yet, even in death, the lingering, oppressive aura of Dao Ancestor Power Demon kept them at a fearful distance.

“Gratitude to the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”

True Ancestor Yunmie, the sole surviving leader of the Immortal Sect, approached to bow in thanks.

“It is of no consequence. I am departing,” Ye Tian replied coldly.

With a flick of his wrist, he collected the corpse of his fallen enemy and vanished into thin air.

He feared leaving the Void Sky True Nation unguarded for too long. Should another Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor launch an attack, the Nation would remain defenseless.

Back within the Human Race, Ye Tian deployed his incarnations to maintain constant surveillance, ensuring the Void Sky True Nation remained untainted by intruders.

Despite his efforts, similar tragedies unfolded across the Profound Void Ancient Realm. While some Dao Ancestors were eliminated, others roamed without opposition. While Nations allied with the Upper Three Heavens were relatively safe, those beneath the Dao Mountain Domain and the Middle Three Heavens suffered devastating losses.

Fireflame Forbidden Zone

Ancient, Invincible Dao Ancestors emerged one after another. After a campaign of slaughter against myriad True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, they began utilizing the Haotian Imperial Mirror to project potential future paths.

Their simulations were functional, indeed outlining a pathway toward the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level and offering a glimpse of their objective.

However, visualizing the path and traversing it remained two entirely different hurdles.

While this insight offered these Invincible Dao Ancestors hope of reaching the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm, the actual journey promised to consume an eternity. Its only immediate, tangible benefit was the loot harvested from the dead. The abundance of Forbidden Wondrous Objects seized helped recover the losses their sects had incurred.

Conversely, many other forces paid a heavy price. Countless True and Dao Ancestors were wiped out, leaving those sects with nothing to show for it.

Hardest hit were the forces within the Middle Three Heavens, where the incineration of 70 to 80 percent of their True Ancestors decimated their sect foundations.

A year passed in what felt like a blink.

This period stood as the most somber in the history of the Profound Void Ancient Realm. Nearly 60 percent of its True Ancestors vanished, alongside over 300,000 Dao Ancestors. Seven or eight Pinnacle Dao Ancestors perished in the chaos, and even the Invincible ones endured varying injuries.

Despite the immense casualties, they remained unable to successfully simulate the path to the Domain Ancestor realm. Something essential persistently felt out of reach.

In their frustration, the Invincible Dao Ancestors turned on one another.

They reasoned that sacrificing the lives of other Invincible Dao Ancestors might act as the catalyst needed to finalize the simulation.

By this stage, many had succumbed to madness, abandoning all reason.

Nevertheless, because their strength was closely matched and their survival techniques so advanced, no clear conqueror emerged.

Heavenly Emperor Palace

Inside the sanctum, Palace Master Zhenwu, having been apprised of the events within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone through clandestine channels, chuckled at the news of their attempts to simulate the Domain Ancestor path.

“These fools actually believe the Haotian Imperial Mirror holds the key to the Domain Ancestor level? Its limit is the Half-Step Domain Ancestor; it cannot fathom the true Domain Ancestor path. Had it possessed such capacity, Domain Ancestor Vast Sea would never have entrusted it to our care!”

“Their ignorance of the Spirit Mirror’s constraints fuels these irrational fantasies,” Palace Master Azure Dragon remarked. “Regardless, the slaughter of these True and Dao Ancestors has caused the origin energy of the Profound Void Ancient Realm to spike. The prospects for the Forbidden Realm’s emergence have climbed by 30 percent. If this evolutionary rate continues, the Profound Void Ancient Realm shall soon advance into an Archaic Realm.”

“It is truly a shame that not a single Invincible Dao Ancestor perished in this fray,” Zhenwu lamented.

“Unless a Half-Step Domain Ancestor intervenes, the mortality rate among Invincible Dao Ancestors remains negligible,” responded Azure Dragon.

“Should I take action myself?” Zhenwu proposed. “The arrival of the Archaic Realm is imminent, and our Palace will soon enter the world regardless. Any interference at this stage will hardly matter.”

Palace Master Azure Dragon remained hesitant, while Palace Master White Tiger, observing from the side, sank into deep reflection.
