Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Ancestor in the Coffin

Below!

Sensing the battle fluctuations above, the Earth Chicken was deeply moved. This human dares to wage war against the entire Emperor Clan just for me! Once I restore my strength and elevate my bloodline to the same realm as my ancestor, I will surely slaughter my way through them. The dignity of an Ancient Phoenix cannot be trampled!

After breaking through several Arrays, she finally reached a narrow space deep within Fairy Lake. There was a sarcophagus. Looking at it made her heart pound; she felt that the person inside the sarcophagus was still alive and must be a formidable member of the Fire Tribe.

The Ancient Bloodstone was placed on top of it, and she had a feeling that the person inside was absorbing the essence and blood power of the Ancient Bloodstone.

The Earth Chicken hesitated. Taking the Ancient Bloodstone meant waking the person in the sarcophagus, but... the Ancient Bloodstone was condensed from the essence and blood left by her ancestor. She had to obtain it.

Human Clan, can you withstand them? If you hold them off, from this moment on, this old lady’s life is yours.

She glanced above, said no more, swiftly took the Ancient Bloodstone, turned, and fled...

Once she escaped the water, a terrible slaughter came into view. Hundreds of members of the Emperor Clan were striking together, their attacks sweeping down like an overwhelming force. The killing intent was almost tangible. The Earth Chicken felt as if she couldn’t breathe.

"Big brother, run!" the Eight Treasures Chicken exclaimed in alarm.

Chen Pingping glanced at it. His large hand swooped down, enveloping the Eight Treasures Chicken and the Earth Chicken in a whirlwind, and he immediately sent the two chickens away from the scene.

WHOOSH!

They were safe.

He smiled, then turned to face the overwhelming attacks. "It’s bad enough you’re trying to kill me, but you will not harm my pets." They were his lifeblood.

Huo Yan sneered and chased in that direction. However, a broad beam of sword light fell—the Sword of Vegetation. It glowed green, like the break of dawn, obscuring everyone’s vision. This sword, with its mighty Power Path, was not something Huo Yan could withstand. His expression changed drastically. In his haste to counter, he was still severely injured.

HUM!

Another sword fell, this time toward the hundred powerhouses: the Reincarnation Sword. The moment he struck with his sword, the heavens and earth suddenly dimmed, the sun and moon lost their light, and black vortices began to appear, quickly expanding and seemingly devouring their attacks.

The members of the Emperor Clan cried out in alarm, their eyes wide with shock, having never seen such a terrifying Sword Dao in a lifetime of cultivation. They quickly retreated. But the Reincarnation Sword’s devouring power possessed an absorbing quality. Its powerful suction left everyone with no escape. In the blink of an eye, their attacks were completely swallowed.

Heaven and earth fell silent once more. Every Emperor Clan powerhouse who looked at Chen Pingping had fear in their eyes.

"You’re seeking death!" Huo Yan erupted in rage, his bloodline surging. Mighty streams of Power Path burst forth from within him, and in that instant, his combat power soared to the heights of the sixth rank.

Unfortunately for him, Chen Pingping was a Divine King Level powerhouse. Soaring to a level and inherently being at that level are two entirely different concepts.

In response to his outburst, Chen Pingping simply slapped his hand down, completely suppressing him. He intended to kill this man. But a powerful fluctuation arose from beneath Fairy Lake. A black sword beam suddenly slashed out—powerful, robust, and terrifying. An awe-inspiring pressure, strand by strand, lingered and stirred the Dharma Principles in the air.

Seventh rank? Chen Pingping held his breath.

The Emperor Clan powerhouses paused for a moment, then cried out, "It’s the ancestor! The ancestor has awakened!"

A sarcophagus flew out from within.

Chen Pingping was expressionless, yet his mind was calculating. Seeing a sarcophagus, he suddenly smiled. It seems this seventh-rank predecessor still has some issues.

The sarcophagus enlarged, rushing to suppress Chen Pingping. But the latter raised his hand, his formidable Power Path surging as he unleashed the Six Tao Reincarnation Fist, directly blasting the sarcophagus away.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Is that all?" Chen Pingping scorned.

Damn it! How can he be so powerful? Impossible! Huo Yan felt suffocated, breathing heavily, looking at him in disbelief.

The strength of Chen Pingping far exceeded his imagination. Hundreds of powerhouses couldn’t shake him in the slightest. And now... the ancestor had awakened. Although he had not stepped out of the sarcophagus, he had still made a move. Yet, he was blown away by a punch from Chen Pingping. Such a scene left Huo Yan unable to calm down.

"Is there no one else?" Chen Pingping laughed. "Is this all the might of the Fire Tribe, which embodies the spirit of the Four Great Imperial Clans? Not too impressive, huh! A hundred powerhouses surrounded me, yet couldn’t stop me. Even their top young genius is useless. Heh heh... What’s wrong? Angry? Look at your face, how red... Forget it, forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore. Oh right, one more thing." He pointed at the volcano not far away and said, "I hear the Fire Tribe has a fire called the White Rock Earth Core Fire? I’d like to borrow it to cook."

With that, he raced straight over.

The Emperor Clan powerhouses behind him were stupefied. They rushed after him, but it seemed they had forgotten how they had just been defeated. Another slap came down, sweeping all the advancing Emperor Clan powerhouses away.

Huo Yan was livid. "Human Clan, you are courting death!"

"Where is the Youth Fountain?" Chen Pingping asked. "Beneath Fairy Lake?"

"???"

Huo Yan could no longer hold back. Bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes, and his chest felt as if it were being burned through by rage. He wanted to attack, but his previous injuries were too severe. After spitting out a second mouthful of fresh blood, he passed out.

The sarcophagus flew over again, but still, it couldn’t stop Chen Pingping. Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he dug out the White Rock Earth Core Fire from deep within the volcano.

Chen Pingping couldn’t help but mutter, Damn, this fire is intense! I need to get that chicken to seal it quickly. He glanced over Fairy Lake, hesitating.

The Youth Fountain is still here. What a treasure! But the situation is escalating. The high echelons of the Emperor Clan might have already been alerted. A large number of powerhouses could be on their way, possibly even with that Sacred Soldier. I have to leave.

With a look of regret, he glanced at them and then turned to leave.

By the time Jin Qiongyu arrived, it was all over. Huo Yan was severely injured, and the hundred powerhouses even more so. Each was fuming, teeth clenched, but helpless.

He was strong. Far stronger than imagined. The powerhouses and their combined strength were simply not enough. Taking the Ancient Bloodstone was one thing, but he also took the Earth Fire. How infuriating! The powerhouses trembled with anger.

With a pale face, Jin Qiongyu asked, "Where is he?"

"Gone," a man said tremulously. "He took the Ancient Bloodstone and the Earth Fire."

Those Emperor Clan powerhouses who had previously stopped her now looked at her with complex expressions. They remembered Jin Qiongyu’s warning: Do not make an enemy of him.

But at that time, no one had taken it to heart. Huo Yan’s anger had surged, and he had come with killing intent, but the result... Heh.

Jin Qiongyu almost smiled but said nothing, turning to leave.

The feud had been irrevocably set. Huo Yan had acted against Chen Pingping, and Chen Pingping had taken the Ancient Bloodstone and Earth Fire. The two sides had truly become enemies. But before this, she had a chance to change that. What a pity!

「Elsewhere,」

Although the maid had reached the Clan Leader’s residence, she was stopped by a few clan members. With no other choice, she could only wait silently. This continued until news about the ancestral land reached them.

The arrogant clan members shivered with fear. After the Clan Leader emerged from seclusion, he slapped them to death, his wrinkled cheeks consumed with fury. "Useless!"
