Chapter 931: Hunting the Crocodile Ancestor
This world seemed unable to bear his might. The moment the ancient sage revived, the natural fluctuations radiating from him split the heavens and the earth apart!
The beams of light shooting from his eyes blazed fiercely, stretching for who knows how many li. Divine flames leaped and danced, terrifying beyond measure, and no one could meet his gaze directly.
The Crocodile Ancestor cried out. Even he could not withstand it. Fixed by those substantial divine rays, two bloody holes appeared on his body, with blood gushing forth.
This was a horrifying sight. His black-gold armor was incredibly sturdy, forged from scales shed from his own body, yet it was pierced through by those two brilliant, penetrating gazes.
The Crocodile Ancestor was an ancient sage who had defeated Shakyamuni's half-teacher. His cultivation power was undeniably formidable, yet at this moment, he was so passive, bearing immense pressure.
"Who are you?" He was truly shocked. Could there still be such a powerful figure in the present age? Why had he never heard of him?
In his knowledge, aside from Shakyamuni, almost no one could be this powerful, capable of such soul-shaking intimidation!
Back then, in the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, Ye Fan had once summoned this ancient sage, hoping to assist the Old Madman, but was blocked by the sealing power of the kings, ultimately unable to engage in battle.
The ancient sage did not speak. The savagery of his initial revival finally calmed somewhat. The beams of light in his eyes shortened to three zhang in length, but they became even more dazzling, burning fiercely like real divine flames.
His entire being had the momentum to swallow mountains and rivers, like an ancient deity. Though he said not a word, he could subdue the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The Crocodile Ancestor drew in a sharp breath of cold air. He knew he had encountered a tough opponent, an unheard-of, unprecedented great enemy. Today, he might meet his end here in regret.
"Boom"
The ancient sage barely moved his body, and the heavens and earth shattered. This world seemed unable to contain his form. Huge spatial cracks spread from the edges of his battle body deep into the universe.
A crimson divine chain bit into his flesh, but it could not hinder his movements. He was full of oppressive force, advancing forward, his gaze extremely terrifying, as if staring at prey.
"Roar..."
The Crocodile Ancestor let out a long howl. His black-gold armor blazed with ten thousand zhang of light, his black hair dancing wildly. He struck first, launching an attack; otherwise, this mysterious sage would completely overwhelm his momentum.
The ancient sage's eyes blazed even more fiercely, burning through the void. He advanced to meet the world-shaking assault, letting that enormous black hand strike him without even dodging.
"Clang"
A piercing metallic sound rang out. The Crocodile Ancestor's large hand could shatter an ancient ancestral king, but striking this old sage only produced a clanging noise, failing to harm the enemy, while his own palm and fingers burst with blood.
This scene was terrifying, fully demonstrating the ancient sage's dreadfulness. His eyes grew even more dazzling, like two condensed suns that could blind anyone else.
Ye Fan had an illusion. This ancient sage truly seemed to be staring at prey, not treating the Crocodile Ancestor as a demon saint, but as a wild beast to satisfy his hunger.
That look was too strange, so terrifying, filled with a sense of starvation, as if this was a hunt.
The Crocodile Ancestor clearly noticed this too. His body ran cold. With a "zheng" sound like a sword's cry, a sharp divine sword was unsheathed. This was his war weapon, severing the sky as it chopped down!
Amidst this process came the wailing of ghosts and the howling of gods, a bloody wind and rain of flesh. Thousands of corpses and bones materialized, turning the world into a Shura field, with bodies strewn across the land.
The people this sword had killed in the past now appeared in reality. It took the blood of millions of living beings to forge such a terrifying demon saint sword!
The world collapsed. If not for Yinghuo being sealed, this entire ancient star would have been cleaved in two on any other planet, without any doubt.
The sun, moon, and stars in the sky all trembled!
It cut across the sky. Nothing could withstand this world-shaking sword strike. The newly risen sun completely dimmed, far inferior to the sword's radiance.
Facing this sword, the ancient sage turned his back to it and met it head-on. Instantly, sparks flew in all directions, and divine energy split the heavens!
Not only was Ye Fan dumbfounded, but the Crocodile Ancestor was also stunned, his eyes wide and mouth agape. His fingers went numb, and he could barely hold the divine sword in his hand.
Clanging sounds rang out, a world-shaking impact. The Crocodile Ancestor's demon sword struck the red iron chain on the ancient sage's body, sending sparks flying everywhere. The cold light blazed to the heavens, deafening.
That was a red divine chain, inscribed with many ancient runes, possessing powerful divine force, used to bind this sage for eternity, never to decay.
Long ago, Ye Fan, Black Emperor, and others had studied it. At that time, Duan De advised him to discard it immediately, because the ancient sage's power had already permeated the sealing chain, nearly breaking it.
Now, struck by the Crocodile Ancestor's strongest divine sword, the runes on it had visibly dimmed considerably.
Not only was Ye Fan horrified, but even the ancient crocodile was terrified. Yet this ancient sage paid it no mind, treating the Crocodile Ancestor like an iron stake, intending to grind through the red divine chain.
"Taiyin and Taiyang, which is weak and which is strong? When yin and yang unite, one is called emperor throughout the land!" Ye Fan recalled this ancient saying, like a curse.
This was no ordinary sage. He was super terrifying and powerful. Even in the ancient era, when experts were as numerous as clouds and ancestral kings stood in forests, he could dominate the world, having killed many ancestral kings, including even a great sage.
Back then, all races joined forces to besiege him. When his mind was unclear, he was taken advantage of by the father and son of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, who sealed him.
His achievements were extremely horrifying. He simultaneously cultivated both the Taiyin and Taiyang true scriptures, aiming to walk the path of enlightenment. But in the end, he went mad. By day, he was a god; by night, he was a demon. Wherever he passed, there was bloody wind and rain, filled with slaughter, shaking the ancient era.
How weak was humanity back then? Yet such a supreme powerhouse emerged, truly causing a panic. He was called the Human Demon, unsettling all the great clans.
From ancient times to the present, almost all who cultivated both Taiyin and Taiyang scriptures had failed. No one succeeded. Yet this ancient sage, cultivating both scriptures simultaneously, survived alone. It could not be denied as a miracle.
By day, he was a god, filled with divine radiance. By night, he was a demon, surrounded by killing aura, utterly insane.
Ye Fan and others had speculated that he was at least a great sage. Otherwise, how would he dare to cultivate both Taiyin and Taiyang like that? This was an attempt to attain the Dao!
Dusk was his weakest time, when his mind was unclear and he was easily taken advantage of. Otherwise, even in the ancient era, with ancestral kings everywhere, it would be difficult for anyone to capture him.
"Clang," "Clang"...
The Crocodile Ancestor was also horrified. He did his utmost, swinging the demon sword, bringing with it surging bloody light and thousands of corpses and bones as he attacked.
His gaze was venomous. This time, he didn't strike the red divine chain even once, instead slashing all at the ancient sage's vital points, ruthless and merciless.
Each sword strike brought with it a thread of heavenly order. Laws rained down like a downpour, cascading down, terrifying and boundless.
At this moment, some people at Earth's outer space observation station were astonished. Carefully observing and comparing, they concluded that Mars was experiencing a rare meteor shower.
Moreover, it was very severe. Based on the impact force of that level, it was enough to destroy Mars. Strangely, it remained unharmed.
Afterward, this encrypted information was sent to several relevant countries and classified as top secret. Because after detailed analysis, they interpreted a horrifying truth that defied common sense.
Ye Fan knew nothing of this, nor did he care to pay attention. He was captivated by the battle before him. The Crocodile Ancestor's magical power was vast, absolutely capable of cleaving the ancient Yinghuo star with one sword, but it was blocked by the seal here.
The ancient sage was even more terrifying. His movements were like a god or ghost, transforming into a war god. He didn't attack actively, just staring at the Crocodile Ancestor, his main focus on himself, trying to break the red divine chain.
Even when sword light struck him, it only produced a string of sparks and left a blood mark, hardly harming his foundation. He was like a god or demon!
"Chi"
The Crocodile Ancestor shot into the sky. Fear gripped his heart. He wanted to flee Yinghuo. This Human Demon was too terrifying. The more he fought, the more frightened he became. If he broke his shackles, who in this world could subdue him!
"Xiu"
However, the ancient sage gave him no chance. With an instant teleportation, he blocked his path. In the morning glow, he was majestic and awe-inspiring, like a heavenly god descending to the mortal world.
"Boom"
The ancient powerhouse, like a human demon, opened his mouth and inhaled. It was as if the sun itself was swallowed down. Boundless quintessential fire poured down from the sky, billions of times more terrifying than a meteor shower, enveloping the entire Mars.
"Crack"
He circulated his magical power, his entire body tensing. In an instant, the sound of chains breaking rang out. Red lights shot in all directions.
The red divine chain was forcibly snapped by him. Like a demon king breaking free from his shackles, he let out a long roar, shaking heaven and earth. The sound waves all surged forward, condensing into a beam of light that knocked the Crocodile Ancestor down.
The ancient crocodile was frantic, trying to tear open the void and cross into the starry sky, but he couldn't. The ancient sage stood on the ancient Yinghuo star, locking down the heavens and earth, making escape impossible.
"Weng"
The old sage struck first. Though he was as thin as a skeleton, his strength could pluck the sun, capture the moon, and seize the stars. His divine might surged for a hundred thousand li.
The white bone great club in his hand weighed billions of jun. Nothing could stop it. It crushed the heavens and collapsed the earth.
The Crocodile Ancestor cried out, fleeing for his life. He was a being who could suppress and kill ancient ancestral kings and cleave the ancient Buddhas of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, yet now he was scared out of his wits.
"Zheng"
The ancient crocodile resisted while fleeing. His demon sword was immediately smashed by the bone club, breaking into dozens of pieces that fell by the demon sea eye.
"Boom"
The ancient sage swung the bone club again. The moist, white bone weapon possessed immortal divine nature, turning into a beam of white light as it descended. The sun, moon, and stars in the sky all trembled.
"Pu"
A flash of blood burst forth. The Crocodile Ancestor screamed. His lower body was brutally smashed, turning into a pool of bloody mud. The armor on his body shattered inch by inch, becoming dust, unable to protect him.
The ancient crocodile was terrified out of his wits. He transformed into his true form and fled against the sky, but he couldn't escape. The old sage had him fixed in his gaze, moving even faster, cutting off his path ahead.
His lower body was wrapped in beast hide, holding a bone club, his hair a mess. He truly looked like a savage from a primitive tribe, but his strength was terrifyingly frightening.
At this moment, he completely treated the Crocodile Ancestor as his prey, striking like dealing with a wild beast, going up and delivering a fierce beating.
Alas, the Crocodile Ancestor. Not long ago, he was like a deity to Ye Fan. Now, he had degenerated into a true crocodile, targeted by a hunter, his life about to be lost.
"Boom"
The old sage swung the white bone great club. After several strikes, the Crocodile Ancestor was on the verge of death, falling to the ground. He transformed into his enormous true form, and the old sage dragged him back upside down, like carrying a dead fish.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded, hardly believing his eyes. The Crocodile Ancestor could absolutely shatter entire ancient star regions, was all-powerful. The ancient bodhisattvas and Buddhas could do nothing to him. Yet now, he was so miserable!
At this moment, the old sage used his Dao cultivation and magical power to start a fire. Then, he beckoned to Ye Fan, preparing to gut and clean this great crocodile, roast it over the fire. He was inviting Ye Fan to share the crocodile meat.
It's Sunday, asking for votes. The pursuers behind are very fierce, about to overtake us. Calling for support.
