Palace Master Zhenwu prepares to intervene in a high-stakes conflict, weighing the risks of exposing his identity against the potential of drawing out hidden Half-Step Domain Ancestors from the Ninth Heaven forces. Meanwhile, ten Invincible Dao Ancestors engage in a brutal skirmish within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, leaving Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire severely wounded. As the tension reaches a breaking point, a mysterious armored figure arrives, revealing a terrifying aura that stops the combatants in their tracks. Identifying as a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, the newcomer immediately launches a devastating assault, trapping the participants within a Forbidden Domain.

When Dao Ancestor Clear River realized that Palace Master Zhenwu was personally singling him out, an immediate sense of panic washed over him.

Palace Master Zhenwu opted not to utilize any traditional Dao techniques. Instead, he relied solely on Forbidden Power, though the overwhelming might of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor proved far too immense. The power he unleashed was vastly superior to anything an Invincible Dao Ancestor could possibly hope to challenge.

“Pff!” With a single, devastating strike, Palace Master Zhenwu punched through Dao Ancestor Clear River’s chest, flooding his body with chaotic forbidden laws that ravaged him from within.

Following this initial blow, Palace Master Zhenwu struck repeatedly, shattering the physique of Dao Ancestor Clear River into scattered fragments. He would allow his victim to piece himself back together, only to crush him apart once more.

Over and over, the Forbidden Body of Dao Ancestor Clear River fractured under the relentless assault. His internal capacity to heal degraded to an agonizing crawl.

Finally, a crisp cracking sound signaled the end. The healing stopped entirely. His life force had been completely extinguished.

As Dao Ancestor Clear River perished, a torrential blood rain swept across the Profound Void Ancient Realm. The very Grand Dao wailed in grief, and the empty void became filled with countless blood-colored blossoms.

The sheer scale of this phenomenon left everyone present in absolute shock!

Deep within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone…

Ouyang Jiu’er and Ye Tian witnessed these events unfolding, their expressions filled with deep astonishment.

“Could it be…” Ye Tian gasped as he inhaled a sharp, cold breath.

“Indeed, an Invincible Dao Ancestor has fallen,” Ouyang Jiu’er confirmed solemnly.

“Those tremors in the distance must have signaled the battle of an Invincible Dao Ancestor. But how could someone of that caliber die so easily?” Ye Tian asked, his voice laced with confusion.

“There must be a Half-Step Domain Ancestor involved in that confrontation,” Ouyang Jiu’er explained gravely. “A Half-Step Domain Ancestor possesses a trace of true Domain Ancestor aura, which deflects the crushing suppression of this Profound Void Ancient Realm, enabling them to unleash truly terrifying might.”

Moments later, the sky erupted in another phenomenon, signaling the demise of yet another Invincible Dao Ancestor.

“A second one has fallen!” Ye Tian sighed, struggling to believe his eyes.

Considering the singular power of an Invincible Dao Ancestor, the death of two in a single day was unheard of. He remained oblivious to which factions these victims belonged to, as his knowledge of them was limited.

Both Dao Ancestor Clear River and Dao Ancestor Imaginary Shadow had been cut down! Fear gripped the heart of Dao Ancestor Sky Field. He finally grasped the truth: this predator was specifically hunting the three rogue Invincible Dao Ancestors. He began to suspect that the assailant might be a Half-Step Domain Ancestor hiding their identity—perhaps from Blackwind Mountain or the three major Ninth Heaven powers—choosing to mask their presence to strike unseen.

This mysterious killer felt no restraint in targeting these three, as they possessed no sect, no grand tradition, and no protectors.

“If only I had aligned myself with a powerful faction earlier!” Dao Ancestor Sky Field lamented with bitter regret.

Within ten seconds, Dao Ancestor Sky Field had been subjected to more strikes from Palace Master Zhenwu than he could even count. Despite his specialized defensive capabilities, his threshold had been shattered. His tangible form ruptured and dissipated, his hard-won Dao vanishing forever.

A third Invincible Dao Ancestor was dead!

The death of the third victim sent a chill through the hearts of those from Blackwind Mountain, the Limitless Sky Sect, the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and the Heavenly Sea Sect. The conclusion was now unavoidable—this monster was not acting on behalf of any of their organizations.

The terror only intensified. Since three had already perished, who was next? Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Half Moon of the Myriad Domains Divine Hall felt a cold lock-on, panic instantly seizing him.

“Your Excellency, I am an Invincible Dao Ancestor serving the Myriad Domains Divine Hall! If you kill me, our sect will hunt you to the ends of the earth!” Dao Ancestor Half Moon bellowed.

His threats proved empty. Palace Master Zhenwu closed the distance with a single strike, heavily wounding him and obliterating half his body with a single, brutal punch.

Though Dao Ancestor Half Moon managed a desperate recovery, his vitality remained severely compromised.

“Dao Ancestor Sky Sun, we must combine our strength to hold him off. If I fall, you cannot hope to survive!” Dao Ancestor Half Moon pleaded.

Dao Ancestor Sky Sun, also from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, hesitated to engage.

Even if they united their arts, their victory seemed impossible.

Nevertheless, Dao Ancestor Sky Sun finally intervened. He and Half Moon shared a deep, long-standing bond, anchored by their common allegiance and personal history. If he remained idle, Half Moon would surely die, and Sky Sun would be forced to face this assassin alone afterward. Fighting together offered their only sliver of continued existence.

Ultimately, Sky Sun’s courage was driven by the faint glimmer of hope that they might escape this slaughter.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Palace Master Zhenwu stood his ground, engaging both Dao Ancestor Sky Sun and Dao Ancestor Half Moon single-handedly. Meanwhile, other Invincible Dao Ancestors attempted to flee, but the thick pressure of the Forbidden Domain turned their movements sluggish, leaving them vulnerable to the intermittent surges of Forbidden Power from Palace Master Zhenwu.

Within his Forbidden Domain, Palace Master Zhenwu could manifest his power instantly in any location. The escaping Invincible Dao Ancestors were intercepted again and again, unable to find an opening to flee.

One second passed. Two seconds. Three seconds.

Every passing moment saw the wounds of Sky Sun and Half Moon deepening significantly.

Ten seconds later, both victims lay on the brink of death, heavily incapacitated.

Abruptly—

An immense, pale hand emerged from the depths of the void, shattering the Forbidden Domain of Palace Master Zhenwu with a single swipe.

The trap was undone. The trapped Invincible Dao Ancestors took the opening to scatter, widening the distance between themselves and Palace Master Zhenwu as fast as possible.

Palace Master Zhenwu offered no chase. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the source of the pale hand.

Crack!

A muscular, bare-chested man with an air of crushing, sovereign dominance strode forward. His presence dwarfed the surroundings.

“Who is that person?”

The Invincible Dao Ancestors asked among themselves in confusion.

None of them recognized the newcomer, who seemed to materialize from nothingness. However, the presence they felt confirmed it: another Half-Step Domain Ancestor had arrived.

“Greetings, Patriarch!”

Dao Ancestor Sky Sun and Dao Ancestor Half Moon wept with relief as they saluted the man.

They knew they had been granted a reprieve.

“Back away,” the man commanded casually.

Sky Sun and Half Moon retreated instantly. Palace Master Zhenwu held his ground, allowing them to withdraw.

“Palace Master Zhenwu, one of the three surviving Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, resorting to stealth and targeted killings? Is this not sinking too low?” the newcomer asked.

The revelation rippled through the onlookers.

“Palace Master Zhenwu! He is indeed one of the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace!”

Many had guessed that this mysterious assailant hailed from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, given the rarity of such power. Yet, most found it hard to believe such a prestigious force would engage in dishonorable clandestine murders.

Whatever doubts remained had now been silenced.

Palace Master Zhenwu offered no defense for his actions. He replied with cold calmness:

“You must be the second-generation Hall Master of the Myriad Domains Divine Hall—the legendary Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor. Your fame shook the Divine Heaven Domain, earned by your ability to lock down an entire domain alone. Legends even claimed that you once narrowly escaped a Half-Step Domain Ancestor while still an Invincible Dao Ancestor. After that, you simply vanished. Most believed that you burned through your remaining lifespan using forbidden arts just to survive, leading to your eventual death.”

“It appears we were all deceived. You were simply hiding, biding your time in the shadows while ascending to the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm. Your patience is truly commendable.”

Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor.

The name ignited forgotten memories for the likes of Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire. He was an ancient figure, a mythic presence from the history of the Vast Sea Domain, someone the world had forgotten.

Who could have dreamed that this ancient warrior not only survived but had successfully broken through to become a Half-Step Domain Ancestor?
