Capítulo 1750: Chapter 768: Killing Formation! The Dreamlike Dark Annihilation Realm

They encountered a series of ambushes, each time involving White Ancient Spirits of the Emperor Realm level.

In the last attack, there was even a White Ancient Spirit approaching Emperor Realm Peak Level, along with over twenty ordinary Emperor Realm level White Ancient Spirits.

In this deadly encounter, both the Starry Sky God Emperor and Jue Xing Divine Emperor were forced to unleash their full power.

Especially the Starry Sky God Emperor, who truly showcased the uniqueness of the Space-Time Path, with an unparalleled control over the battlefield.

Resolutely, he led Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor out from the encirclement.

Until they completely shook off the pursuit of the large group of White Ancient Spirits.

“Something’s not right.”

“We’ve only been in the Long River Ruins for a day, haven’t even entered the Ancient Ruins Sea, so how could we attract so many Emperor Realm level Ancient Spirits?” The Starry Sky God Emperor and Jue Xing Divine Emperor both found it incomprehensible.

Under normal circumstances, as a branch of the Void River, it would take them several months of travel to possibly encounter a single Emperor Realm Ancient Spirit.

How could there be so many Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits?

If that were the case, how many low Rank Quasi-Saints who adventured into the Long River Ruins over endless ages could survive and exit?

“Alliance Hierarch, based on my experience, there are two possibilities.” the Starry Sky God Emperor said gravely: “One, our landing area happens to be the core location of an Ancient Spirit Tribe.”

“Only in a core location could there be so many Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits; if it were the outskirts, it would generally be dominated by Ancient Spirits with Fourth Rank Quasi-Saint strength.”

“Behind every Ancient Spirit Tribe, there must be a Black Ancient Spirit.” The Starry Sky God Emperor said solemnly.

Ancient Spirit Tribe? Li Yuan pondered; White Ancient Spirits have low intelligence, so they are mostly ruled by Black Ancient Spirits. Gathered in large numbers, they form relatively fixed territories, known to Cosmic Cultivators as ‘Ancient Spirit Tribes’.

Every Ancient Spirit Tribe will occupy

“Moreover, for some unknown reason, we’ve been specifically targeted by this Ancient Spirit Tribe.” The Starry Sky God Emperor looked at Li Yuan: “Logically, me displaying Emperor Realm Peak Level strength should be enough to deter this group of White Ancient Spirits, yet they still charged in defiance of their instincts to kill.”

Why?

Although Li Yuan couldn’t immediately figure out the reason, he could likely guess that the issue originated with himself, considering the Starry Sky God Emperor and Jue Xing Divine Emperor weren’t visiting the Long River Ruins for the first time.

“What’s the other possibility?” Li Yuan asked.

“Supreme Ancient Spirit out on tour, with the Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm following.” A faint trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Starry Sky God Emperor.

Supreme Ancient Spirit? Li Yuan’s pupils involuntarily shrank.

White Ancient Spirits generally reach a maximum strength at the Dominator level, but Black Ancient Spirits, through continuous evolution over countless ages, can potentially reach the Supreme level.

They are called ‘Supreme Ancient Spirits’.

Each Supreme Ancient Spirit occupies a vast territory, and their unique innate divine abilities allow them to establish a special ruins realm, known as the ‘Ancient Ruins Realm’ or ‘Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm’.

Occasionally, a Supreme Ancient Spirit will lead their Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm across the Ancient Ruins Sea and even parts of the Void River, attracting countless Ancient Spirit Tribes to follow.

It is a grand spectacle.

And all itinerant cultivators they encounter along the way will be swept away.

It’s said that even a Dominator would definitely face death if they encountered a Supreme Ancient Spirit on tour, which is a major calamity for cultivators in the Long River Ruins.

Meeting them spells misfortune.

Based on public intelligence from various cosmic powers, the current Long River Ruins should have more than ten ‘Ancient Spirit Ruins Realms.’ Perhaps there are some in mysterious areas of the Ancient Ruins Sea that have yet to emerge.

Each Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm signifies a Supreme Ancient Spirit.

The strength of the Ancient Spirit Clan can be imagined; they are the true dominators of the Long River Ruins. However, the powerful members of the Ancient Spirit Clan can never leave the Long River Ruins.

In the past.

Beihai Supreme possessed such tremendous might that he was almost universally acknowledged as the first in the Cosmos. In addition to destroying the Eight Immortal Demon Caves, a significant reason was that he once single-handedly stormed an Ancient Ruins Realm, sweeping through it with absolute power, ultimately slaying an Ancient Spirit Supreme.

This cemented his fame!

“If a Supreme Ancient Spirit is truly out on tour, then we must hurry and escape.” Li Yuan said gravely.

Phew!

The three dared not delay any longer, to the extent that the Starry Sky God Emperor didn’t hesitate to expend enormous divine power, advancing with remarkable speed.

…

But what Li Yuan and they did not know was, not too far from them, that Water Mansion was also tracking them at an alarming speed.

“The fleeing speed increased, quite impressive, must be an Emperor Realm with a mastery of the Space-Time Path.” A Black Ancient Spirit sat high on a throne.

Below, more than fifty Emperor Realm level White Ancient Spirits lay prostrate.

“What a pity.”

“This is the Long River Ruins, our world.” The Black Ancient Spirit murmured to itself: “Compete with us in speed? Even the Space-Time Path Emperor Realm won’t do.”

As a Black Ancient Spirit of Emperor Realm Peak Level, it cannot create an ‘Ancient Spirit Ruins Realm’ like a Supreme Ancient Spirit but has crafted a Water Mansion.

The Water Mansion is its lair and its most powerful magical treasure.

“Mo Jiu, Qing, based on your repeated ambush results, should there be one Emperor Realm Peak and another close to Emperor Realm Peak among the three cosmic cultivators?” The Black Ancient Spirit looked down at the White Ancient Spirits below.

These White Ancient Spirits nodded one by one, roughly recounting the battle process.

“And the low Rank Quasi-Saint radiating special allure displayed strength as a ‘Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint’?” The Black Ancient Spirit mused: “A low Rank Quasi-Saint showing Sixth Rank strength is quite good, but what exactly makes him special?”
