Chapter 3729: Gathering of the Four Clans
A clear cry rang through outer space. The supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan let out a howl. Her resonant voice was filled with rage.
Under the watch of so many experts from the Reverent Observance Heaven, she had actually been injured by Fang Jing so quickly. That immediately left her exasperated. She only felt like she had been greatly humiliated, like her face was burning up.
In the next moment, the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan suddenly swelled in size. She instantly grew to several hundred thousand kilometres across. It was like she had turned into a colossal sun, roaring with flames.
The sovereign god artifact that had been knocked away, having vanished into the sea of stars already, reappeared almost instantly. However, it had grown dim due to the depletion of its energy.
But shortly afterwards, a terrifying force of flames channelled into the sovereign god artifact from the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan. Immediately, it began to glow brightly again.
The supreme ancestor’s beak opened and closed as ancient murmurs rang through the sea of stars. As if they possessed some kind of mysterious and unfathomable might, they actually shook up the ways hiding in obscurity. They achieved a resonance with the sovereign god artifact before her.
She had used an ancient secret technique of the Vermillion Bird clan. A colossal shadow silently appeared over her figure that was already gigantic.
The shadow was far too large. Even when the supreme ancestor’s body had swelled to several hundred thousand metres across, she seemed as small as a speck of dust before the shadow.
The shadow spanned for who knew how many billions of kilometres. It silently hovered in the sea of stars, rivalling the entire Reverent Observance Heaven.
“That’s the past Grand Exalt of the Vermillion Bird clan!”
Some of the knowledgeable Immortal Exalts on the Reverent Observance Heaven recognised the origins of the colossal shadow and cried out.
Even though it was only an illusion of the past Grand Exalt, the boundless might still chilled many Immortal Exalts. They shivered inside.
After summoning the shadow of her Grand Exalt ancestor, the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan’s presence immediately reached an unprecedented peak. She controlled the sovereign god artifact before her and launched a devastating strike as it shone with blinding light.
The five elements descended into chaos; yin and yang reversed. The various laws in the surroundings pulsed violently.
The pulsing of the laws seemed to project across the thirty-three heavens of the entire Immortals’ World.
At that moment, many ancient cultivators in secluded cultivation opened their eyes across the thirty-three heavens. They looked towards the Reverent Observance Heaven in shock.
“Are there supreme experts fighting to the death? It has even created a disturbance in the ways…”
“Given how great the disturbances are, that’s no regular Ninth Heavenly Layer…”
……
…
At this moment, it was not only the thirty-three heavens. Even some reclusive experts slowly opened their eyes that had witnessed the vicissitudes of time. These experts had been cultivating in ancient palaces or on meteors that existed in outer space, or were part of ancient organisations that resided in miniature worlds.
They either left their places of cultivation to investigate the battle, or they remained in their dwellings without budging, sensing closely from far away.
When the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan launched the devastating strike, the disturbance set off was so great that it basically reached all thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World.
Fang Jing was unfazed. Faced with the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan’s devastating strike, she still did not panic. She bathed in resplendent light and suddenly swung the Dominion’s Brush. A mighty, profound force collided with the attack.
Boom!
A great rumble erupted in outer space. The light entwined together, swallowing both of them.
Shortly afterwards, the Grand Exalt’s figure that rivalled an entire world slowly dissipated. From the storm of energy woven in light, the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan was thrown out once again.
She was covered in blood. Her colossal body was covered in numerous wounds. Each one was a terrifying sight to behold.
This time, she had suffered even worse injuries.
“Impossible. This is impossible…”
But compared to the mental impact, her injuries were insignificant.
She had already used an ancient secret technique to summon the divine might of her ancestor, yet even under these circumstances, she gained no advantage at all. This exchange was a mental blow to her.
Before her, Fang Jing shone with blinding light. She gripped the Dominion’s Brush and moved through the storm of energy steadily. No matter how violent it was, it could not approach her.
At that moment, she seemed awe-inspiring. It was like the advent of a god, so powerful that she was undefeatable.
She seemed to move very slowly, but her speed was extraordinary. With a few flashes, she arrived before the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan. The Dominion’s Brush in her hand emitted a beam of light and slashed towards the supreme ancestor’s claws.
Immediately, blood sprayed through the space. Both of the golden claws that belonged to the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan had been cut off.
“How dare you, Fang Jing!” the supreme ancestor cried out in fury and surprise. Her large eyes burned with roaring flames.
“These are the claws I’m taking. If you want to save someone from my hands, then I’ll cut off your claws as punishment!” Fang Jing said coldly.
The supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan was furious. Who was she? When did she ever endure such humiliation?
She began to beat her wings violently. Terrifying flames rolled over, enveloping Fang Jing like pouring rain.
At the same time, she began to burn her essence blood, preparing for a full-powered strike.
“You want to keep struggling? Alright then, I’ll cut off your wings too.” Killing intent surged in Fang Jing’s eyes. She swung the Dominion’s Brush again, and a beam of light slashed towards the wings mercilessly like a sharp blade.
But at this moment, a simple tortoise shell suddenly appeared beside the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan. It radiated with a terrifying presence, shaking up the space.
Boom!
The Dominion’s Brush struck the tortoise shell, which immediately made it tremble violently. The sea-like energy inside the tortoise shell was exhausted at an extremely startling rate.
However, the tortoise shell managed to block the attack from the Dominion’s Brush in the end.
A small, hunched-over man appeared from behind the tortoise shell. He was only a metre tall and was as thin as a stick. His head was bald; he seemed extremely elderly.
However, despite his unimpressive appearance, the presence he gave off was no weaker than the supreme ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan.
This old man was a supreme ancestor of the Black Tortoise clan, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
But shortly afterwards, another two figures appeared beside the supreme ancestor of the Black Tortoise clan.
One of them had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His face was stern, giving off an aura of slaughter.
He was the supreme ancestor of the White Tiger clan, also a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
The last person was a young man. He only seemed to be around twenty years old. He was extremely handsome.
The young man originated from the Azure Dragon clan. He was the supreme ancestor of the Azure Dragon clan, also a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.
Moreover, his presence was visibly stronger than the three supreme ancestors from the White Tiger clan, the Vermillion Bird clan, and the Black Tortoise clan.
At that moment, the peak experts of the four imperial clans of the Sacred Beast clan had all gathered outside the Reverent Observance Heaven.
