Demoness who covers the sky, please help me practice

That was the only guess Jiang Yun could make, but regardless, he still felt somewhat confident.

Although he was in poor condition, he still had the Dragon Qilin, the broken Emperor Sword, the stone jar, the Reincarnation Dao Flame, and so on. Ordinary Dao Ancestors really couldn't do anything to him.

After listening to Jiang Yun's analysis, Shi Yi, who had double pupils, nodded slightly and then asked, "How did the heavens know the coordinates of the source of the ancient underworld?"

"It is indeed strange. The ancient underworld had already begun to shrink a long time ago, and even had to give up many reincarnation paths and reincarnation slaves for this reason."

The ten-time emperor was also carefully analyzing the situation and felt that something was amiss.

Jiang Yun naturally realized that something was wrong. Putting aside everything else, under his and Hou Ming's arrangement, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, except for a very few, directly retreated into his Daoist temple at the source of the ancient underworld.

The remaining parts were hidden at various key points in the cycle of reincarnation, all of which he personally reinforced, making them virtually impregnable.

Even if some of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation were exposed and captured by Heaven, those Eight Paths of Reincarnation members still did not know the true information about the source of the ancient underworld.

Those who know the true information about the source of the ancient underworld are already staying inside it.

Could it be that these beings from the Eight Paths of Reincarnation can still enter and leave the ancient underworld?

No, Jiang Yun, who possessed the Reincarnation Token, was absolutely certain that this was impossible.

With the Reincarnation Token in his hand, he was fully aware of every move made by the members of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation, so he was absolutely certain.

The heavens certainly did not obtain information about the origin of the ancient underworld from the Eight Paths of Reincarnation.

Besides that, where else can we get information?

Other Daoist ancestors from the ancient underworld?
That's even more impossible. Putting aside everything else, ever since the Immortal Emperor's decree descended from the ancestral land, the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld has basically never left his Daoist temple.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld left the Ancient Underworld without anyone noticing, how could he possibly leak information about the Ancient Underworld?

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor of the ancient underworld was captured silently, interrogated to extract information, and then released to become an undercover agent?

No, that's even more impossible. Such a deception could only be accomplished by those two Immortal Emperors themselves.

If those two Immortal Emperors really did make a move against the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld, then there would naturally be a warning on the ancestral land.

Moreover, the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld never left, so how could he possibly leak information?

It doesn't make sense no matter what.

In the end, the three of them came to the conclusion that they had to be careful and adapt to changing circumstances before leaving. Although the incident was sudden, none of them were completely unprepared.

After all, with the Desolate Emperor's conquest of the ancestral lands and the turmoil in the heavens beginning, this sacrificial ceremony is nearing its end. Under these circumstances, nothing is unexpected.

The arrival of that whisk was somewhat unexpected, but it didn't really mean the situation was so bad that it was beyond repair.

After that, Jiang Yun went to Hou Ming's dojo and stayed there for a long time. However, Hou Ming, like him, did not know why the heavens had obtained the true information from the source of the ancient underworld.

"If a great war is truly inevitable, then let it come..."

Jiang Yun returned to the Daoist temple and continued to use the waters of the Soul River to repair his primordial spirit, but the process was extremely slow.

Twenty thousand years have passed, and his primordial spirit has not been fully repaired. At most, it can be considered to have achieved some success, and it is still far from being truly and completely restored.

Calculating the time, it was time to cultivate together with Hou Ming. So he left his cave again and went to Hou Ming's dojo.

After that, he cultivated with Houming in the Houming Daoist Temple for another twenty to thirty thousand years.

After this fellow cultivation, he became more proficient in mastering the Reincarnation Dao Flame, and could use it with ease. However, this fellow cultivation had little effect on the scars on his primordial spirit, and even the Dao scars on his body did not diminish.

He returned to his own dojo and continued to nourish his primordial spirit with the water of the Soul River. Before he knew it, 20,000 years had passed. He then went to Houming's dojo again and continued to cultivate together with Houming.

This process was repeated three times, and 100,000 years had passed without anyone noticing.

At first, he was a little worried because he didn't know when the Dao Ancestor of Heaven would come to kill him. However, as time went by, he gradually put the matter out of his mind.

However, just when he thought everything would continue as it was, something unexpected suddenly happened.

On this day, from the heavens above, many Dao Ancestors unleashed their magical artifacts and treasures, directly striking the source of the ancient underworld.

In an instant, the Heavenly Blade danced, the sword light flashed, a whisk hovered in the air, and the bell tolled, shaking the ages, causing the sea sacrifice to begin to boil.

In addition, countless stars rose and fell from the sacrificial sea, accompanied by an incredible killing intent, directly stirring up endless waves of blood, carrying an aura of world destruction, and directly striking the source of the ancient underworld.

Rumble!
After being shattered by the whisk last time, the reinforced barrier couldn't even hold out for a moment against the simultaneous attack of many Dao Ancestor artifacts, and collapsed directly.

Then the ancient sword, the heavenly sword, the whisk, the great bell, and the stars directly stormed into the ancient underworld.

Behind these Dao Ancestor artifacts were none other than the Dao Ancestors of all the ages, who, along with their disciples, charged towards this place.

On this day, the five Dao Ancestors of all realms of the heavens officially launched a war against the Ancient Underworld, descending directly upon the source of the Ancient Underworld with an unparalleled force.

Jiang Yun and the other Dao Ancestors from the ancient underworld were immediately alarmed. They left their own Daoist temples, gathered together, and looked at the numerous Dao Ancestors from the various worlds of the heavens, who were filled with murderous intent.

Suddenly, tensions rose, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Jiang Yun's gaze unconsciously drifted to the large bell, beneath which a towering figure was faintly visible.

That figure... Could it be that he has broken through to the Dao Ancestor realm?

Wushi, so fast?

However, he couldn't verify it at the moment, and the other party seemed to have some concerns, remaining very silent and restraining their aura, without truly revealing their identity.

"It seems that today's battle is unavoidable."

The Netherworld Dao Ancestor naturally awoke immediately. Faced with what could be considered the greatest crisis the Ancient Underworld had encountered since this sacrificial ceremony, even his expression changed slightly. At this moment, his expression was cold and gloomy, exuding an unchanging, ancient chill, as did the many other Dao Ancestors of the Ancient Underworld, including Houming.

Mingyu and Houming are the true giants of the ancient underworld. Since the beginning of many sacrificial rites, they have witnessed the ups and downs of the ancient underworld.

The ancient underworld has faced its share of difficult situations in the past, but it is extremely rare to be attacked to the source of the ancient underworld by five Dao Ancestors working together like today.

In particular, these five Dao Ancestors all attained their Dao Ancestor status within this sacrificial period, so they were at the peak of their vitality and vigor.

Even the oldest of the five Dao Ancestors, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, was only a few million years old at most. Compared to Houming and Mingyu, this age was incredibly young.

"The ancient underworld is in turmoil; how can we possibly support the battle above the heavens, in this land forsaken by the heavens?"

The Primordial Dao Ancestor spoke, and the whisk that had worked with the other Dao Ancestors' magical artifacts to break through the barrier of the ancient underworld was now in his hand.

At this moment, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, filled with murderous intent, and his cultivation as a Dao Ancestor was unmistakable. With every breath, he could affect the chaotic aura of the ancient underworld.

"The ancient underworld has committed many evil deeds. In the past, the Eight Paths of Reincarnation spread the cycle of reincarnation throughout the myriad worlds in the Sea of ​​Sacrifices, almost directly onto our faces. Now it is time to settle accounts with you."

A Dao Ancestor from various worlds spoke coldly, and the ancient sword flew behind him on its own, tearing apart the void behind him and generating endless killing intent.

It can be said that this Ancient Sword Dao Ancestor proved his Dao through slaughter in the past, otherwise he would never have such a terrifying killing intent. Now that he has arrived at the source of the Ancient Underworld, his killing intent is even stronger, pressing down on everyone's heart as if it were a tangible substance.

"Purge the ancient underworld?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Ming couldn't help but sneer. Hellfire surged, and her icy aura permeated the entire source of the ancient underworld. Then, her voice became even colder and more chilling:
"You think you're worthy?"
One sacrificial priest after another rises and falls; only the ancient underworld has ever settled scores with others, and no one has ever been able to settle scores with the ancient underworld!

Her words were filled with unwavering confidence, and as she spoke, the void at the source of the ancient underworld began to spontaneously recreate the scenes of the past.

Some are ancient underworld warriors fighting unimaginable enemies, battling in a world of brilliant evolutionary civilization; others are ancient underworld patriarchs strolling in the sea of ​​sacrifice, casually destroying a great world with a single strike.

Ultimately, all the images merged together, evolving into a new scene.

One after another, incredible powerhouses, carrying terrifying auras, descended upon the ancient underworld. Each of them possessed an aura capable of causing the sacrificial sea to rise and fall, resembling ancient demon gods, and in no way weaker than the many Dao Ancestors of the heavens and ages of today.

Then, these incredibly powerful individuals, after a bloody battle, all fell in the ancient underworld.

Their heads were directly plucked off by the Dao Ancestor of the Ancient Underworld, and their glorious Dao fruits were directly devoured by Houming, Mingyu, and others.

This is what it used to be like. It can be said that in the past, every sacrificial rite had a powerful figure who wanted to pacify the ancient underworld. By chance, they came here to fight, but in the end, they could only bleed and perish here.

Only the ancient underworld has existed since time immemorial, settling accounts with everything in the world!
"That's because the Desolate Heavenly Emperor never appeared during the past sacrificial rites!"

Behind the Primordial Dao Ancestor, another Dao Ancestor emerged, wielding a Heavenly Sword and radiating murderous intent.

He is not even a million years old.

"In the past, your ancient underworld's eight paths of reincarnation created some kind of Immortal King life-or-death battle, intending to recreate the Dao Ancestor. In the end, your so-called Immortal King powerhouses were so vulnerable that they were killed by me, paving the way for my Dao Ancestor."

As soon as the Sword Ancestor spoke, many Ancestors from the Ancient Underworld couldn't help but look at Jiang Yun.

The Immortal King Life-or-Death Battle that Jiang Yun once orchestrated ultimately failed to forge a Dao Ancestor among the Eight Paths of Reincarnation's followers. Instead, it resulted in the Heavens gaining an additional Dao Ancestor. However, Jiang Yun didn't seem to care much about this.

Then, upon hearing him speak like that, Ming ignored the latter part of his words and coldly replied:

"In the past, didn't your Heaven also produce powerful figures at the Sacrifice Dao realm? But in the end, what could they change?"

You should know that in the last sacrificial ceremony, after the Pollen Emperor reached the sacrificial Dao realm, he brought many powerful figures from the heavens, including many Immortal Emperors, but in the end, he still failed.
The ancestral land's resources exceeded the pollen emperor's imagination, even polluting the entire pollen evolution path and causing major problems.

Back then, under the orders of the Pollen Emperor, there were naturally some powerful figures who attacked the Ancient Underworld. However, with the defeat and death of the Pollen Emperor, those so-called powerful figures also eventually perished in the Ancient Underworld.

"That situation is now in the past. The Desolate Emperor will surely be able to overcome everything!"

The newly born Heavenly Sword Dao Ancestor had absolute faith in the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. When he was born, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had just entered the Celestial Realm. He grew up listening to the legends of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and naturally, he had an immense longing for him.

In particular, not long ago, after he advanced to the Dao Ancestor realm, he was fortunate enough to witness the Desolate Heaven Emperor advancing to the Sacrifice Dao realm.

With a single sword strike cleaving through several eerie Immortal Emperors and forcibly postponing the grand ceremony, his unparalleled prowess naturally left him with no doubt about the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

"In the end, what's the point? We still need to fight to determine who is superior. When that happens, you'll naturally know who will settle scores with whom."

Jiang Yun also spoke up at this moment, looking at the newly promoted Dao Ancestor Heavenly Sword Dao Ancestor, but he couldn't help but wonder if he could defeat Heavenly Sword Dao Ancestor if he made a move.

If the opponent gives him a chance to get close, with his terrifying physical strength that surpasses the Dao Ancestor realm, he could easily suppress the Heavenly Sword Dao Ancestor. But I'm afraid the opponent won't give him that chance.

"That's true. Only by fighting can we determine who is better. I saw your battle with Di Yi back then. If it were you back then, I don't think I would be a match for you."

That's how the Sword Ancestor spoke. In fact, it wasn't just him. The terrifying combat power that Jiang Yun displayed back then, especially that profound and mysterious realm, made the Sword Ancestor his opponent.

"But today, I see that your primordial spirit is covered with shattered marks, and even your physical body is scarred by the Great Dao. Your strength and realm are far inferior to what they used to be."

Just as the rumors have it, you've run into serious trouble. You can no longer be considered a Dao Ancestor level expert; at most, you're a pseudo-Dao Ancestor!

Jiang Yun was speechless, then sighed and his expression turned serious.

His true situation could not be hidden from these true Dao Ancestors, though he had no intention of hiding it, since his true situation had already been exposed in the battle with the Soul River.

The other party is right. I am not a true Dao Ancestor in the true sense now, but so what?

"Then, do you dare to fight me?"

Jiang Yun didn't back down at all. He took two steps forward and this time, he didn't even ride the dragon qilin. He had the dragon qilin guard his dojo and came here alone.

Unexpectedly, seeing Jiang Yun like this, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor spoke directly:
"I had hoped to fight you, but today, you have another opponent." (End of Chapter)
