Ye Tian advanced to a top-tier Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor, empowered by his major accomplishment Forbidden Body, positioning him to confront multiple peers or survive against Sixth Heaven foes. Over a thousand years, the Profound Void Archaic Realm stabilized with forces ranked from First to Ninth Heaven, as numerous True Ancestors ascended to Dao Ancestors and the Human Race secured new territory. The Heavenly Emperor Palace emerged triumphantly, unveiling three Half-Step Domain Ancestor Palace Masters, dozens of Invincible Dao Ancestors, and a million-strong Dao Ancestor army across ten legions, while demanding tribute from Ninth Heaven forces and sparking widespread fury.

TL: Etude

In the Vast Sea Domain previously, the Heavenly Emperor Palace gathered tributes with no resistance. The domain was under the shared rule of the Vast Sea Domain Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor Palace, after all. No one back then had the nerve to defy their rule.

Yet in this place, the Profound Void Archaic Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Palace aimed to assert control once more. How could the other powers possibly accept that?

Boom! An incarnation of a half-step Domain Ancestor’s consciousness arrived, heading straight for the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

This half-step Domain Ancestor turned out to be Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor.

“Palace Master Azure Dragon, your Heavenly Emperor Palace acts way too domineering. Why must we hand over tributes to you? We're in the Profound Void Archaic Realm, not the Vast Sea Domain!” Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor declared icily.

Swish!

Palace Master Azure Dragon materialized, letting out a cold sneer. “Is that so? You were once part of our Heavenly Emperor Palace's domain. Entering the Dao Mountain Domain now doesn't free you from us. And the reason? Simple—our superior power!”

Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor laughed lightly before answering, “Your Heavenly Emperor Palace's might indeed surpasses us Ninth Heaven forces by a wide margin. Still, lacking a genuine Domain Ancestor, it doesn't qualify as a true legendary force. Right now, you only boast three half-step Domain Ancestors. But in the Profound Void Archaic Realm, you're not the sole group with such powerhouses!”

This served as a blatant warning. Should the Heavenly Emperor Palace provoke all sides, a united front of half-step Domain Ancestors could overwhelm even them.

“Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, is this a threat?” Palace Master Azure Dragon demanded frostily.

“I wouldn't presume,” Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor replied, offering a faint bow. “I'm just weighing the advantages and risks with Palace Master Azure Dragon—nothing like threatening the Heavenly Emperor Palace!”

“Do you believe we can't eliminate you?” Rage filled Palace Master Azure Dragon's tone. Since when did a simple half-step Domain Ancestor have the audacity to intimidate the Heavenly Emperor Palace?

“Naturally, the Heavenly Emperor Palace could slay me. But could you take out all three of us half-step Domain Ancestors?” No sooner had Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor spoken than two additional half-step Domain Ancestor auras manifested.

Swish, swish! Incarnations of two more half-step Domain Ancestors appeared in front of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

These arrivals were Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity from the Limitless Sky Sect and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman from the Heavenly Sea Sect.

Palace Master Azure Dragon eyed Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman intently, recognizing them swiftly.

“Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman! To think you both advanced to the half-step Domain Ancestor realm as well!” A hint of shock crossed Palace Master Azure Dragon's face.

Now it clicked why Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor brimmed with such assurance. Previously, he wouldn't have dared act so boldly against Palace Master Zhenwu. Evidently, Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor had allied with Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman. United, these three half-step Domain Ancestors sought to confront the Heavenly Emperor Palace's three palace masters.

“How ridiculous. Matching our Heavenly Emperor Palace's count of half-step Domain Ancestors makes you think you can rival us? Watch today as I prove not every half-step Domain Ancestor holds equal might! I'll crush you three single-handedly!” Palace Master Azure Dragon's icy roar resounded.

Boom! His half-step Domain Ancestor aura erupted violently, shattering the incarnations of Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman in an instant. Without pause, Palace Master Azure Dragon lunged at the actual bodies of the three half-step Domain Ancestors.

Boom!

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman emerged from their sects, stepping into the endless void to face off against Palace Master Azure Dragon.

They burned with curiosity to test the true prowess of the reawakened Palace Master Azure Dragon.

This showdown attracted hordes of Dao Ancestors as spectators. True Ancestors, though?

Too bad—they lacked even the right to watch.

Peering at such a fight spelled doom for a True Ancestor. A stray aura thread could wound them through vast distances and eras. Only Supreme True Ancestors qualified to behold the spectacle.

Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor and his comrades assumed their three-against-one setup granted superiority. They quickly learned their error.

As Palace Master Azure Dragon stated, power levels among half-step Domain Ancestors varied greatly.

“90% Forbidden Body—how in the world did you reach that?”

Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor gaped at Palace Master Azure Dragon, whose Forbidden Body had achieved 90% refinement amid the brutal fight. Shock was plain on his face.

The trio—Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman—had merely attained the major accomplishment of the Forbidden Body, at 81% refinement. They yearned for more, but progress proved insanely tough.

Beyond 81%, an unbreakable wall loomed. Despite devouring countless Forbidden Wondrous Objects and even Forbidden Supreme Treasures, advancement stalled.

Palace Master Azure Dragon shattering that barrier at 90% was utterly inconceivable.

“Fools. You can't even imagine the depths of our Heavenly Emperor Palace's heritage,” Azure Dragon taunted with icy disdain.

Azure Dragon's dominance extended beyond his 90% Forbidden Body. His Forbidden Dao Force shone with unmatched purity, fully evolved into Dark Forbidden Power.

Moreover, he wielded numerous forbidden dao techniques with masterful insight into the Forbidden Dao, dwarfing what fresh half-step Domain Ancestors could muster.

Despite their time in the half-step Domain Ancestor realm, Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman paled against Azure Dragon's experience.

Half-step Domain Ancestor duels lacked flashy displays. They hinged on brutal melee, each blow channeling flawless Forbidden Power that outstripped top dao techniques.

Ye Tian watched the fray with rapt attention, utterly mesmerized. The moves seemed to eclipse the Grand Dao and every law.

He conceded the chasm separating him from these half-step Domain Ancestors was immense—not just in power, but in profound realm and insight.

Boom! Azure Dragon's fist hurled Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor away. A swift kick followed, slamming Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, then a body slam flung Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman through myriad territories.

The four half-step Domain Ancestors' brawl spilled into spacetime turbulence, unleashing raging storms in the chaotic streams.

Now, solely the mightiest Dao Ancestors ventured into the temporal chaos to spectate.

As moments dragged on, wounds mounted on Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman, proving Azure Dragon could overpower them one by one.

Of course, slaying a half-step Domain Ancestor remained a herculean task. Such beings were infamously resilient.

Suddenly.

Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor drew his Forbidden Weapon—a supreme top-tier one brimming with might.

Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman mirrored him, unveiling their own elite Forbidden Weapons.

Armed thus, the three half-step Domain Ancestors' power skyrocketed, allowing them to hold their ground against Azure Dragon.

“Ha! Think Forbidden Weapons are exclusive to you?” Azure Dragon scoffed.

With that, he drew a sword radiating a grand Domain Ancestor aura.

The sword's emergence stunned Dao Ancestor Domain Suppressor, Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, and Dao Ancestor Heavenly Brahman. Faces paling, they cried out together,

“A Half-Domain Artifact!!”
