# Chapter 4241: A Certain Death Situation
"Haha! My cultivation has greatly advanced. In this current era, who can command me? Whoever wants to go to Jade Desolate Realm can go themselves."
Void Heaven's laughter shook the heavens. He only wanted to chase after the Hell Realm army and kill their way to the God Realm. Either seek the opportunity to break through to Ancestor Realm, or establish meritorious deeds to save the world and leave his name in history.
He recognized this voice. It was that ancient Divine Illumination Lotus, Zhang Ruochen's woman. Her spiritual power was quite remarkable.
Zhang Ruochen's commands, Void Heaven might have to listen to a little.
Zhang Ruochen's woman?
Zhang Ruochen had so many women. If he had to obey every single one of their commands, then he, Void Fengjin, would be laughed to death by all the cultivators under heaven!
"Hua!"
A strand of spiritual power penetrated the dimensions of time and space, arriving at Yin-Yang Path in an instant.
Just a single strand.
Like a gust of wind, it blew toward Void Heaven, lifting his white hair and causing his robes to flutter.
Void Heaven himself was among the highest-level spiritual power cultivators in the world, so he naturally recognized its quality. His eyes sharpened, his footsteps halted, his lips trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself: "The world is one chess game. Since Jade Desolate Realm has become a trapped situation, I, this old man, shall naturally go to help Heavenly Mother break free."
"Sha!"
Transforming into a streak of flowing light sword radiance, he entered the Yang Path at maximum speed.
Very frightening!
The Dao resonance contained in that strand of spiritual power was something Void Heaven had never felt even from Murong Overlord or the Second Confucian Ancestor.
Brushing past his face, Void Heaven's understanding of spiritual power advanced another level.
This wasn't teaching—it was intimidation!
Before long, Void Heaven arrived outside Jade Desolate Realm.
The realm gate that had once allowed direct entry and exit was now closed, covered with Ancestor Rules and Divine Qi clouds.
"Void Sword Art, Heaven Split Earth Destroy." His war sword, seemingly forged from yellow gold, swung out invisible and formless sword energy, tearing through space and time, attempting to pierce through Jade Desolate Realm's world barrier.
"Boom!"
The Ancestor Rules and Divine Qi clouds left behind by White Jade Divine Emperor in Jade Desolate Realm surged rapidly, like layers of cotton gauze, dissolving the unstoppable sword energy into nothingness.
Void Heaven's eyes bulged wide!
After condensing Void Exhaustion Sea, his cultivation had taken another step forward on the hundred-foot pole. Especially his Void Path, which had now caught up to his Sword Path. In his view, both his Sword Path and Void Path had reached Half-Ancestor peak.
Below Ancestor, if he wasn't invincible, then who was?
Even above Ancestor, he wasn't afraid. At worst, it would be a life-for-life exchange at the limit.
Looking across the entire universe, how many people were still worthy of his admiration?
But before even leaving Yin-Yang Path, he had encountered two, suffering consecutive setbacks that left his thoughts obstructed.
"Hua!"
The Chaos Ancient Clan Emperor walked out from the Ancestor Divine Qi clouds, his body erupting with Half-Ancestor-level power and aura. His voice was cold and high-pitched: "If you don't want to die, leave immediately."
Void Heaven recovered from his earlier shock, his eyes narrowing into slits with sharp light shooting out: "Just you? White Jade Divine Emperor might be quite remarkable, but his true body has gone to the God Realm. Who in Jade Desolate Realm can stop me?"
"Ao!"
A tiger's roar sounded from within Jade Desolate Realm, shaking Void Heaven's blood and Qi into turmoil.
His eardrums directly shattered, and blood flowed from his nostrils and eye corners.
Behind the Chaos Ancient Clan Emperor, Ancestor Rules and Ancestor Divine Qi clouds rapidly condensed. Moments later, they transformed into a white tiger tens of millions of miles tall.
It was no different from White Jade Divine Emperor's true body—solid physique, awe-inspiring aura.
If he didn't know that White Jade Divine Emperor was in the God Realm, Void Heaven would definitely think this white tiger before him was the true body. Even with his Half-Ancestor peak soul strength, he was crushed to the point of being unable to breathe, giving birth to the thought: "If I don't flee, I will definitely die here."
This was soul suppression caused by too great a disparity in cultivation!
Just like back at Biluo Pass, when the one-eighth power of Nether Ancestor's doppelganger had exerted soul pressure on Zhang Ruochen and the others.
"Who the hell wants to suppress me? Not matching up to Xumi the old bald monk, not matching up to Xuan Yuan Taihao, not matching up to Fengdu, but when have I ever been afraid of them? If I can't win, I'll cultivate and fight again."
"Roar!"
Void Heaven let out a long howl, using the sound to break through his own inner fear and cowardice, shattering the soul pressure: "For thirty thousand years, I, this Heavenly God, have forged a realm of swords, all for the sake of fighting an Ancestor."
"Realm gate opens, ten thousand swords emerge. I, this Heavenly God, never accept defeat in life! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Behind Void Heaven, his Divine Realm World opened a crack tens of millions of miles long, like the void of the universe splitting apart.
"Hua!"
Endless war swords flew out from the surging waves, following Void Heaven's sword intent, charging straight toward the Chaos Ancient Clan Emperor and White Jade Divine Emperor's doppelganger.
Able to trap Heavenly Mother in Jade Desolate Realm, White Jade Divine Emperor's doppelganger was naturally not simple, capable of continuously drawing power from the Eternal Existence Divine Sea.
"Bang bang!"
Over thirty thousand years, Void Heaven had sought, collected, and forged war swords totaling over a trillion, truly turning his Divine Realm World into a Sword Realm.
The Sword Ancestor could create a Sword Realm, so he too would build his own Sword Realm.
Every instant, over a hundred million war swords shattered, turning into droplets of molten metal.
Like scalding rain, they fell upon Void Heaven.
At first, they only pierced through his robes. Before long, his body became riddled with holes, like a sieve.
In the end, the Chaos Ancient Clan Emperor couldn't hold on. With a mournful cry, his Half-Ancestor body was pierced through by countless war swords, first turning into blood mist, then the blood mist was scattered.
White Jade Divine Emperor's doppelganger was also swallowed by the ocean of war swords shortly after.
"Boom!"
Jade Desolate Realm's world barrier shattered, and Void Heaven rode countless billions of war swords as he flew inside.
Half a quarter-hour later.
Heavenly Mother escaped from the Eternal Existence Divine Sea and rendezvoused with Void Heaven outside the sea.
"How is the situation outside? Did Imperial Dust send you?"
Heavenly Mother's body had long been shattered into particles by White Jade Divine Emperor. These particles rapidly condensed within Houtu's wedding garment, like a ball of dazzling Ancestor Divine Light.
Fortunately, she had Houtu's wedding garment, allowing her to hide within the endless heaven and earth. Her body was both one and infinite—omnipresent yet formless and traceless. Even with White Jade Divine Emperor's cultivation, it would be impossible to find her in a short time.
He could only use the Eternal Existence Divine Sea to trap her.
Void Heaven's tattered body restored itself to its original state, his essence, energy, and spirit full. He said proudly: "With my current cultivation, who can command me? I just went to Void Exhaustion Sea and found my true self. I came here only as a convenience. Heavenly Mother, today you owe me a huge favor!"
Heavenly Mother looked over, and only now did she see through the causal heavenly secrets on Void Heaven.
He was the heaven-earth spiritual intelligence born from Void Exhaustion Sea.
He wasn't some Ghost Clan member; he had his own body.
Void Exhaustion Sea was his body.
Heavenly Mother's Ancestor body recondensed, her skin glowing white. Her Dao heart comprehended the true essence of heaven and earth: "I understand! Space belongs to Yin, and at the edge connected to the Void World, it transformed into a sea. Time belongs to Yang, and at the edge connected to Lihentian, it transformed into a fire."
"That sea is Void Exhaustion Sea. This should be the reason Great Venerable sent you to Truth Divine Temple for cultivation back then! Only by simultaneously comprehending Truth and Void could you take control of Void Exhaustion Sea and refine it as your body."
"That fire is Jade Desolate Realm. Therefore, Jade Desolate Realm can produce heavenly materials and earthly treasures that help cultivators survive Eon Calamities. White Jade Divine Emperor can achieve eternal existence here."
"This Eternal Existence Divine Sea is the Eye of Time!"
In a short time, Heavenly Mother used her divine soul to perceive the heavenly secrets of the universe, gaining insight into the current situation.
Void Heaven stared fixedly at the Eternal Existence Divine Sea that had trapped Heavenly Mother. It was terrifyingly vast—a chaotic vortex with a diameter of one light-year, containing the "Eternal Existence Divine Path" of a Beginning-End Self-level powerhouse.
This divine sea was definitely a supreme treasure that would make even Ancestors covetous.
At any other time, he would definitely use every possible method to take it away.
Void Heaven suppressed the greed in his heart and said: "What you said, I've also speculated. But now is not the time to study the origin of heaven and earth. The situation in the God Realm is critical. You and I are the strongest in Hell Realm. We must rush there at maximum speed."
"No!"
Heavenly Mother shook her head: "I'll go to the God Realm. You take the Eternal Existence Divine Sea to the Northern Universe. Feng Caiyi and the cultivators of Destiny Divine Temple are already on their way there."
"The battlefield in the God Realm is important, but the battlefield on the River of Time is even more important."
Going to the Northern Universe would inevitably mean becoming Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin's supporting act. Void Heaven naturally wanted to go to the God Realm to display his prowess: "No one has the right to tell me what to do and what not to do. You go to the Northern Universe. I'll go to the God Realm!"
Ji Fanxin's voice sounded in Void Heaven's ear: "Take the Eternal Existence Divine Sea and come to the Northern Universe as quickly as possible."
Void Heaven's expression immediately changed.
"She is the Nether Ancestor, with ninety-seventh level spiritual power."
Heavenly Mother left these words behind and vanished from Jade Desolate Realm.
Exiting Yin-Yang Path, she looked toward the vast universe. She noticed that the Seventy-Two Layer Tower, which had been absorbing Void Force, had entered the dimension of time and was heading toward the past!
River of Time.
The Universe Realm Form and the Heavenly Human Chess Formation completely enveloped Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm. The power of Truth Great Emperor's corpse and the Second Confucian Ancestor attacked from the material and spiritual levels respectively.
The power fluctuations were incomparable to Beginning-End Ancestors.
Zhang Ruochen released the Nine Cauldrons, fixing them at nine directions around Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, like driving nine heavenly nails to protect this "ship" traveling upstream against time.
"Without the Nine Cauldrons' empowerment, can Imperial Dust's combat power still reach the Beginning-End Self level?" The Second Confucian Ancestor's ancient and vast voice echoed faintly along the River of Time.
Clearly, their earlier exchange of techniques had made him acknowledge Zhang Ruochen's strength.
"Beginning-End Self" could be said to be the highest evaluation in the universe.
The Second Confucian Ancestor's colossal Ancestor Dharma Form, hundreds of millions of miles tall, pressed down with two fingers, placing a piece on the void chessboard.
Instantly.
The chess piece transformed into a black, towering divine mountain, falling downward.
Zhang Ruochen controlled the Abyssal Depths and Blood Drop swords, driving them like rainbows, continuously shattering the chess pieces and stars falling from the chessboard above, while his consciousness locked firmly onto Heavenly Demon on Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, simultaneously searching for the still-unrevealed Time-Space Human Ancestor.
Truth Great Emperor's corpse and the Second Confucian Ancestor were strong, but they weren't the greatest threat.
Heavenly Demon and the Time-Space Human Ancestor were.
Heavenly Demon's Ancestor Divine Source had likely been arranged by the Time-Space Human Ancestor. As long as he was on Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, even if he didn't attack, he could tie up three-tenths of Zhang Ruochen's power.
The move of self-destructing the Ancestor Divine Source was something any Ancestor would be extremely wary of.
Zhang Ruochen believed that the Time-Space Human Ancestor had definitely arrived! The moment he struck, it would certainly be a killing blow, giving Zhang Ruochen no chance to respond or defend.
Heavenly Demon roamed the four directions, constantly changing positions, approaching Zhang Ruochen.
Either seeking an opportunity to attack, or already having the thought of self-destructing his Ancestor Divine Source.
The hidden danger was too great. He had to be dealt with first.
"Ha!"
Zhang Ruochen suddenly took the initiative to close the distance with Heavenly Demon. As he waved his hand down, space rapidly expanded.
Buzhou Mountain flew out from the expanding space, landing above Heavenly Demon's head.
Heavenly Demon swung his blade upward. The sound of blood flowing within his body was like thunder. Ancestor-level battle might erupted as he attempted to split Buzhou Mountain from below.
"Boom!"
Buzhou Mountain fell, swallowing Heavenly Demon. All demonic Qi was sealed within the mountain.
Buzhou Mountain was the number one divine mountain of the Heavenly Court, refined by Bai Yuan, one of the Immortals. It was a masterpiece of the Way of Space, once suppressing the bones of the Immortal Hongmeng Black Dragon.
Rather than a mountain, it was more like a boundless space prison.
The Second Confucian Ancestor and Truth Great Emperor's corpse naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of Zhang Ruochen's brief time suppressing Heavenly Demon, they each unleashed their strongest combat techniques and divine abilities.
In Ancestor-level combat, an instant is eternity. Divided attention means loss.
The Truth Eye opened at the center of the brilliant "Universe Realm Form," containing the same power as the eye on the Truth Cauldron, but far more enormous—like a bright nebula blooming.
"Hua!"
A beam of Truth light shot out from the center of the Truth Eye, falling straight down.
"Intent Moves a Thousand Years, Heaven's Severance!"
The Second Confucian Ancestor mobilized the power of the five hundred years before and five hundred years after in the universe, using the power of a thousand years to unleash his strongest killing move.
After refining three World Trees, executing this move unleashed even greater power, more condensed.
Zhang Ruochen had no time to施展 divine abilities to defend. He directly charged upward against the momentum, his body emitting five-colored glazed divine radiance. Fifty-four clusters of Dao light revolved around him as he collided with the Truth light pillar descending from heaven.
One up, one down.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen, charging upward, actually shattered the descending Truth light beam, breaking through like splitting bamboo as he headed straight for the Universe Realm Form above.
Zhang Ruochen's physical body was already stronger than divine artifacts.
With merit power protecting his body, it naturally advanced further.
Heaven's Severance fell. Several divine artifacts flew off Zhang Ruochen's body. Amid booming sounds, they all shattered.
"Puchi!"
Heaven's Severance broke through all of Zhang Ruochen's defenses, passing through the fifty-four clusters of Dao light, leaving a wound that ran through his entire body.
Zhang Ruochen hadn't been unable to dodge, nor unable to withstand it.
Rather, to severely wound Truth Great Emperor's corpse, he had to endure Heaven's Severance.
Unlike the Second Confucian Ancestor and the others, he couldn't afford to be entangled here. He had to fight quickly and decisively, breaking through all obstacles. No matter how severe the injuries, he had to break the deadlock.
The time left for him to reverse the future was only half a day.
"Chi!"
As Heaven's Severance landed on Zhang Ruochen's body, the Abyssal Depths Divine Sword also pierced into the Truth Eye.
Truth Great Emperor's corpse's true form was revealed. The sword tip pierced into his brow, sinking more than an inch.
Truth Great Emperor's corpse retreated urgently, trying to escape.
Zhang Ruochen endured the pain of Heaven's Severance's power invading his body with great perseverance. Abandoning his sword, he punched Truth Great Emperor's corpse in the chest.
The divine garment on Truth Great Emperor's corpse instantly erupted with golden light. Hundreds of billions of runes surged out.
"Break for me!"
The fifty-fifth cluster of Dao light, "Strange Domain," expanded within the Mysterious Embryo, spewing out countless substances and rules, surging toward Zhang Ruochen's arm. Instantly, all the power of his body poured out.
His fist punched through the runes, caving in Truth Great Emperor's corpse's chest, exploding a large patch of blood mist.
The Truth Realm Form, like a universe of stars, flickered and dimmed considerably.
Truth Great Emperor's corpse flew out instantly, like a meteor, falling toward the downstream of the River of Time, exiled into the future.
"Not good!"
Zhang Ruochen sensed the aura of the Sundial. The appearance of the Sundial undoubtedly meant the Time-Space Human Ancestor had made his move!
As expected, the Sundial was greatly problematic. It was a hidden danger planted by the Time-Space Human Ancestor beside him.
Fortunately, he had been on guard!
The Sundial fell from an unknown domain, carrying a bright Time Divine Sea, striking toward Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm.
"Boom!"
Even with the Nine Cauldrons protecting it, Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm couldn't withstand a single blow from the Sundial. The entire great world was collapsing, tearing apart from the middle.
He Luo Fish, traveling alongside Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, was shaken to the point of divine form annihilation by the impact force from the Sundial's eruption.
There was no doubt. The Time-Space Human Ancestor had been waiting for Zhang Ruochen to leave Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, so he could strike and pierce through it in one blow.
No.
Not just to pierce through Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, but to use the Sundial to cut off this tributary of the River of Time, trapping Zhang Ruochen to die in the past.
Then, hunt him in the past.
Only like this would Zhang Ruochen have nowhere to flee.
At the same time, it would cut off the possibility of Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin reversing the future, deciding everything in one move.
As the Sundial pierced through Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, Ji Fanxin's spiritual power, sent from the future, could no longer protect the River of Time. As time was being erased and the river was about to break, Zhang Ruochen, who should have been in the Universe Realm Form above, appeared beneath the Sundial.
He used both hands to support the Sundial.
"Power of All Living Beings!"
Countless Divine Martial Marks flew from the broken Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, gathering around Zhang Ruochen. Their number exceeded the stars in the universe.
The River of Time recondensed. The Sundial was lifted up.
Even the broken Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm was reconnected by the Divine Martial Marks.
"Hua!"
A beam of light fell!
The Time-Space Human Ancestor appeared on the Sundial's disk, one hand behind his back, giving a strong sense of immortal elegance.
With this light landing, all the Divine Martial Marks were scattered.
Beneath the Sundial, the severely wounded Zhang Ruochen's flesh split open, dozens of wounds appearing, as if he were about to shatter into pieces. But all his power still pushed upward!
If the River of Time were cut off, all previous efforts would come to nothing. The Sword Realm Star Domain would truly be destroyed, and the Sacrificial Calamity Light would irreversibly spread throughout the entire universe.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor said: "You carry such heavy burdens, care about so much. How could you possibly have a chance to win? You clearly know that I have countless ways to cut off the River of Time. I didn't cut it off precisely to lure you here and put you to death. But you still came!"
"Knowing something is impossible yet doing it anyway. Your great master knows you're not stupid—you're foolish, obsessed, and delusional."
"You can choose not to acknowledge your great master, but if you lower your head now, your great master can give you one more chance. The last chance!"
"Chi chi!"
Zhang Ruochen said nothing. The blood in the dozens of wounds on his body began to burn.
Flames burned from the outside in, the power erupting growing stronger and stronger.
Blood burned, and lifespan burned as well.
"Foolish or obsessed, it doesn't matter. Setting foot on the path upstream against time, I never thought of a return journey. Human Ancestor, do you fear death?"
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen's combat power surged to its peak. He overturned the Sundial, his skin like five-colored divine iron, and punched toward the Time-Space Human Ancestor.
His fist pierced through space, power pouring into the Sword Realm Star Domain.
After time reversed, the first batch of Sword Realm cultivators who had fled the farthest recondensed in the regressing time, just in time to see the five-colored divine glow in the shattered space.
"It's Imperial Dust's aura! He's entered the dimension of time. Who is he fighting?"
On the back of Golden Lion Ancestor, a Sword Realm deity exclaimed in shock.
This first batch of Sword Realm cultivators was escorted by Golden Lion Ancestor. Their numbers were vast, with hundreds of deities alone.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor pointed out a finger. Time Order and Space Order formed a barrier, blocking Zhang Ruochen's full-power punch.
"At the Beginning-End Self level, absolute power simply can't compare to absolute Dao techniques. Your power barely reaches the Beginning-End Self level, but your Dao techniques are far too lacking. You can't even break my Order barrier!"
"Is that so?"
Zhang Ruochen used his意念 to control the Nine Cauldrons, flying toward him.
Let Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm shatter if it must. As long as he got past the Time-Space Human Ancestor, Zhang Ruochen would endure the backlash of time and cross to before the Doomsday Sacrifice with his physical body.
"You've only raised your cultivation to the initial stage of Beginning-End Self by relying on five-colored merit Qi, five-colored mud, and the power of the five Witch Ancestors. At this cultivation level, even if you fight to the death, you only have a ten to twenty percent chance of winning."
"If you could reach the peak of Beginning-End Self, your chances should reach fifty percent."
As for the flying Nine Cauldrons, the Time-Space Human Ancestor simply waved his hand, and five of them flew toward him.
He said: "Clearly, Lady Shiji was successively the artifact spirit of the Void Cauldron and the Darkness Cauldron. Aren't you curious why the other cauldrons have no artifact spirits?"
"Nether Ancestor and his subordinates could collect four of them. Why did I, this old man, not take a single one?"
"Clearly, after the Jade Desolate Realm battle, Immovable Bright King Great Venerable fled to the past. How could the Witch Cauldron appear in Kunlun Realm?"
"In the affairs of the world, the abnormal must be mysterious."
"No matter how strong the Nine Cauldrons are, they are ultimately vessels. You can use them, and I can use them too!"
Five soul shadows appeared beside the Time-Space Human Ancestor, flying toward the Witch, Truth, Origin, Space, and Fate cauldrons. Then, the five cauldrons, carrying five different types of power, knocked back the four cauldrons blocking Zhang Ruochen.
"Bang bang!"
Beginning-End Self-level power clashed fiercely.
In an instant, Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm completely shattered.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor raised his arm. Instantly, the time that had been flowing backward surged back, with monstrous waves, gathering behind him. The water level grew higher and higher.
"Is this your time reversal? Let time return to its proper course. Imperial Dust, it's over!"
"Hua la!"
The River of Time surged back. The towering water momentum carried the power of heaven and earth, surging toward Zhang Ruochen, standing alone in the middle of the great river.
This power of heaven and earth was the momentum of the entire Sword Realm Star Domain.
If he didn't retreat, it would be equivalent to the entire Sword Realm Star Domain crashing down on him.
But how could he retreat?
This retreat would mean the entire universe would be destroyed by the Sacrificial Calamity Light. All hope would be lost. The expectations of countless cultivators would turn to despair. The sacrifices of Feng Yan and the others would become worthless.
Time surged back.
In the Sword Realm Star Domain, Golden Lion Ancestor and the batch of Sword Realm cultivators who had fled the farthest were once again swallowed by the Sacrificial Calamity Light.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen didn't even hesitate. He strode forward, raising both palms to block the surging tide of time.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor had long expected he wouldn't retreat. Otherwise, how could it be called a certain death situation?
"Bang!"
A palm struck out from the tide of time, hitting Zhang Ruochen's Mysterious Embryo. Space destroyed its form, time erased its lifespan.
With just one palm, Zhang Ruochen's physical body and divine soul were shattered into fragments, swept back to the future along with the tide of time.
Time had turned blood-red!
At the same time, the Seventy-Two Layer Tower flew from the future, about to deliver an even heavier blow to Zhang Ruochen, severely wounding him to the point of losing combat power.
It wasn't that they didn't want to erase and kill him.
After their rift, it was already destined that only one could live. Neither would have misplaced mercy. Even if the Time-Space Human Ancestor had said earlier that he would give Zhang Ruochen one last chance, it was only to shake his will, making it easier to kill him.
Not killing him was because there was no way to kill Zhang Ruochen in a short time.
The best method was to suppress the combat-incapable Zhang Ruochen into the Seventy-Two Layer Tower.
With only Ji Fanxin left, she would be unable to support alone. The Time-Space Human Ancestor couldn't even be bothered to deal with her. After the Doomsday Sacrifice ended and the sacrificial nutrients were absorbed, how much could a ninety-seventh level Divine Illumination Lotus threaten him?
"Eh!"
The Seventy-Two Layer Tower lost control, flying past Zhang Ruochen, whose physical body and divine soul were shattered, toward the Time-Space Human Ancestor.
The Time-Space Human Ancestor pressed a palm toward it. Under the powerful impact, he was forced back several steps.
"You're right. Vessels, no matter how strong, are ultimately vessels. You can use them, and I can use them too!"
The Second Confucian Ancestor stood on the seventy-second floor of the tower, using his spiritual power to communicate with Wu Ying, who had become the tower spirit, thus cutting off the Time-Space Human Ancestor's connection with the Seventy-Two Layer Tower.
He continued: "After refining three World Trees, I am comparable to a ninety-sixth level peak spiritual power Ancestor. If I fight to the death, what are my chances?"
Earlier, when Zhang Ruochen had suddenly been able to go from the Universe Realm Form above to beneath the Sundial, it was because the Second Confucian Ancestor had used "Mutual Connection Across Heaven" to assist him.
The Second Confucian Ancestor had originally hoped that Zhang Ruochen would fight to the death with the Time-Space Human Ancestor, both suffering severe injuries or even both perishing. Then he would step in to clean up the mess.
But Zhang Ruochen had not self-destructed his Ancestor Divine Source.
This completely exceeded the Second Confucian Ancestor's deductions. This shouldn't have been the result.
Whether Zhang Ruochen was retreating to advance or not, it forced him to step in and take the lead.
If Zhang Ruochen was truly gambling with his own life, and even the life and death of the entire universe, the Second Confucian Ancestor could only accept it!
