Chapter 1197: 837 Kill! Kill! Kill!_2

The most crucial aspect was that each of the ten clans possessed a superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was the foundation of their enduring prosperity.

Even a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection Level, equipped with a superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, could severely injure a Great Divine Transcendent with a surprise attack.

Thus, the Yi Clan Ancestor was confident in his strike, believing that even if he couldn’t kill Jiang Chen, he could still severely injure him. Of course, even if he couldn’t harm Jiang Chen, he could still create a chance for the One-Horned Ancestor to survive.

In any case, the Yi Clan Ancestor was confident that his surprise attack would achieve success, no matter what, and would not return empty-handed.

"Hmph, courting death!"

However, to the Yi Clan Ancestor’s surprise, the contempt shown by Jiang Chen in the face of his confident attack was extreme. Jiang Chen actually did not dodge or evade and let the attack hit him directly.

Shua shua shua...

Endless starlight suddenly burst forth from Jiang Chen’s body, and then, one could see the illusory images of stars appearing around him, encircling him and constantly rotating, forming chains of Star Rivers.

In the endless flow of Star Rivers, the silhouette of an ancient starry bell appeared hazy yet distinct, enveloping Jiang Chen’s body.

Dang~~

The Yi Clan Ancestor’s attack hit the ancient starry bell, producing a grand bell sound.

Rumble rumble~~

Invisible bell waves, together with the endless starlight, erupted like a tide in all directions, blasting the figure of the Yi Clan Ancestor away.

"What is this..."

As he retreated, the Yi Clan Ancestor looked at the ancient starry bell around Jiang Chen with a face still showing disbelief, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

It wasn’t just him; many other powerful beings who witnessed this scene also showed peculiar expressions on their faces, with some Great Divine Transcendents revealing a look of nostalgia.

The reason was simple: the Divine Ability that Jiang Chen deployed had too significant of an origin, being one of the three Supreme Divine Powers of the Great Ancient Heavenly Court.

It was also known by later generations as the greatest defense Divine Ability of the Great Ancient, renowned as the first in defense, first in transformation, and first in magical power, unmatched by any Divine Ability to date.

The name of this Divine Ability was the Cycle Seal, which Di Jun Taiyi created after contemplating the changes of the cycle of stars, encapsulating the powers of the cycle’s transformation and the strength of the stars in one seal.

Once this Divine Ability was used, it was like the Boundless Starry Sky was one’s own, with endless magical power and transformations, naturally unbreakable by anyone. If the Dutian Seal of the Witch Clan had not been so powerful, able to reveal a portion of the Heaven-Opening Axe’s edge, then this Divine Ability would not just be known as the preeminent defense of the Prehistoric World but as the first in offense as well.

"The Cycle Seal..."

"How is this possible..."

"You, a member of the Human Race, how come you possess the strongest Divine Ability of the Demon Clan’s Tiandi..."

The Yi Clan Ancestor’s face showed utter incredulity. He naturally recognized the most powerful Divine Ability of the Demon Clan’s Tiandi. That was why he found it unbelievable—Jiang Chen was from the Human Race, how could he have learned the Demon Clan’s guardian Divine Ability?

Ah~~

Before the Yi Clan Ancestor had long to be shocked, a sudden, piercing scream that came through brought his mind back to the present.

"The One-Horned..."

Turning his head, what he saw was a scene he couldn’t bear to accept. He saw Jiang Chen, after twisting off the horn of the One-Horned Ancestor, grabbing him and squeezing forcefully, crushing his physical body to pieces.

Then, before the One-Horned Ancestor could reconstitute his body, a purplish-grey light quietly appeared, sweeping up the shattered flesh and blood of the One-Horned Ancestor, even his Innate Indestructible True Spirit, and then it disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, the surviving experts of the myriad clans discovered with horror that the aura belonging to the One-Horned Ancestor had completely vanished from this world.

What did this imply?

It meant that the One-Horned Ancestor had perished; otherwise, the aura belonging to him would not have disappeared from the world.

The most obvious sign of the fall of a Quasi-Saint or even a Great Divine Transcendent is the complete and sudden disappearance of their aura from between Heaven and Earth.

If not for that, as long as a trace of aura lingers, a Quasi-Saint would be able to resurrect immediately and recover rapidly.

Realizing this, the faces of the experts from the myriad clans all showed shock and panic.

The fall of the One-horned Ancestor, while shocking, was not enough to panic them; if such beings as Di Jun Taiyi, the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, could fall, it was even more conceivable for a Quasi-Saint like the One-horned Ancestor.

What truly terrified the experts of the myriad clans was how swiftly the One-horned Ancestor fell.

Yes, too swiftly. It was in the blink of an eye that a late-stage Quasi-Saint vanished without a trace, a concept so beyond their comprehension, so contrary to all logic.

After all, that was a Quasi-Saint, not an ant, not a being that can be squashed on a whim. Even for a Great Divine Transcendent, defeating a Quasi-Saint might be easy, but to kill one would still demand considerable effort. It couldn’t possibly be done in the blink of an eye.

And to accomplish such a feat would require the intervention of a Saint. For a Saint, naturally, it would be possible to vanquish a Quasi-Saint instantly.

"Was it one of the Upper Qing Saints?"

With this realization, many experts from the myriad clans believed that one of the Upper Qing Saints had made their move, secretly assisting their own disciple and thus killing the One-horned Ancestor in so short a time.

"Let’s go!"

Guessing that it might have been one of the Upper Qing Saints intervening, the experts from the myriad clans immediately abandoned any thought of clashing with Jiang Chen, exchanged glances, and prepared to leave the area.

If Jiang Chen had the assistance of a Saint in the shadows, even if all Quasi-Saints of the myriad clans joined forces, it would be akin to gifting their heads. What would be the point of continuing the fight? It would be better to return home and rest.

"The Yi Clan Ancestor, is it?"

"I hadn’t yet sought you out, yet you came to me, which does save me some trouble. Since you’ve come today, you might as well stay."

After collecting the One-horned Ancestor’s horn, Jiang Chen turned to the Yi Clan Ancestor, who had attempted to ambush him, and blocked his path.

To be frank, Jiang Chen had wanted to extinguish the Yi Clan for a long time. On the surface, the Yi Clan had no deep grudge with the Human Race, but in truth, the acts they committed against the Human Race were so grievous that not even their annihilation could atone for their sins.

What did they do? They did nothing special, just continuously intermarried with the Human Race during the Distant Ancient Era, offering their proud daughters to the outstanding men of the Human Race.

Looking at it this way, the relationship between the Yi Clan and the Human Race seemed not just amicable but exceedingly good; otherwise, the marriages wouldn’t have persisted.

In fact, during the Distant Ancient Era, this was indeed the case, the relationship between the Human Race and the Yi Clan was very good, ranking very high among all clans.

However, things changed during the Ancient Times.

A significant event occurred in the Ancient Times that caused the power of the Human Race to decline significantly, and it took a long while to recuperate and recover. That event was the departure of the ’Others’ lineage from the Human Race, establishing their own factions, incited by certain schemers.

And among those schemers was the Yi Clan. The descendants from the unions between the Human Race and the Yi Clan looked no different from regular humans, save for an extra pair of wings, thus they were known as the Feather Clan.

The Feather Clan was one of the strongest and earliest lines of ’Others’ to break away from the Human Race. Their primary reason for leaving was the instigation of the Yi Clan.

They succeeded in splitting the Human Race, which is why Jiang Chen said that the Yi Clan deserved death, that even the extermination of their entire clan could not wash away their sins.

Jiang Chen had been planning to find an opportunity to wipe out the Yi Clan. Yet unexpectedly, before he could take action, the Yi Clan Ancestor presented himself on a platter.

If that was the case, then he wouldn’t show any courtesy.

"Yi Clan Ancestor, you can begin your journey to the afterlife now."

Upon seeing the Yi Clan Ancestor, Jiang Chen paid no regard to the first expert among the myriad clans who had attacked him, merely fixing his cold gaze on the Yi Clan Ancestor.

While Jiang Chen was speaking with the Yi Clan Ancestor, the aforementioned expert took the opportunity to flee, a scene that Jiang Chen was aware of but chose not to care about.

A monk may run away, but the temple won’t run with him. As long as the Yi Clan remains, that expert can’t escape. For the moment, it’s more important to eliminate the Yi Clan Ancestor, looking for that expert’s trouble later is not too late.
