Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Demon Ancestor Appears

"The battle pressure..."

"There is someone beyond the Saint level fighting!"

"To encounter such a level of battle within the Eight Wilderness!"

"We’d better stay away, or we’ll die!"

"Aren’t they afraid of attracting the attention of those terrifying beings from the Eight Wilderness with such reckless fighting?"

Within the Eight Wilderness, numerous adventurers discussed fervently.

All those brave enough to venture into the Eight Wilderness were no weaklings, but faced with the pressure of the Heavenly Dao’s holiness, all felt a chill in their hearts.

Even Huo Zhenyu, who had already reached the fringes of the Eight Wilderness and was preparing to leave, couldn’t help but look back.

"It seems to be Patriarch Bodhi... Who is he fighting with?"

Huo Zhenyu’s heart raced. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor of Qin has encountered one of the bizarre creatures of the Eight Wilderness?

With this thought, he dared not stay any longer and quickly burrowed into the dense fog.

At the same time, the battle between Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi became more intense.

At this moment, Tathāgata returned to his normal size and fought more fiercely with Patriarch Bodhi, taking the battle to the skies and back to the ground.

Tathāgata had activated his newly acquired Divine Power, the Divine Buddha Dominant Body!

Indestructible like Vajra!

Impervious to all Dharma!

Patriarch Bodhi could not breach his golden body, and Tathāgata couldn’t injure Patriarch Bodhi.

The two exchanged blows, freely utilizing various Divine Powers amidst the battle, flowing as seamlessly as clouds and water. If one could slow down the scene by tens of millions of times, they would see the beauty of their combat.

Boom—

The two crashed into the cracked prairie, sinking deep underground, causing the prairie to start exploding, chunks of dirt and weeds blasted hurled into the air, rising a thousand feet high.

"Who can win in the end?"

Li Yuanba muttered to himself, his blood boiling with excitement.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and retorted irritably, "Of course, it’s my master!"

True Person of the Jade Cauldron stroked his beard and sighed, "Both were top experts of the Western Sect; it’s hard to say who is stronger."

"Being of the same realm, it should be hard to distinguish who is superior," Houtu expressed her opinion, her usual grace and dignity now tainted with a hint of envy.

Is this the power of Heavenly Dao’s holiness?

In comparison, Saints were as the earth is to the clouds.

Looking around, the sky was riddled with spatial fissures, and an endless prairie was dotted with rising smoke, turning into burnt ruins.

"The outcome of their battle isn’t important; what matters is when the Wild God will arrive."

Deathspeaker spoke, bringing everyone’s thoughts back on track.

Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi weren’t engaged in a fight to the death; they were merely trying to lure out the Wild God!

So guessing who would win was pointless; after all, neither was going all out.

Qin Jun had been silent the whole time, his gaze deep, pondering his own thoughts.

At his feet, Taotie lay anxiously, trembling as if in fear of Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi.

At this moment, they hadn’t noticed that at the edge of the earth behind them, a dark line was creeping up, and upon closer inspection, one could see endless demonic qi rushing in like tidal waves.

Walking within the demonic qi was a figure.

It was none other than the Demon Ancestor!

His tall stature clad in a black brocade robe, with a mysterious ferocious beast inscribed on his back exuding dominance, a blood-patterned amethyst belt wrapped around his waist, and his feet shod in dark purple demonic boots. With an evil smirk that scorned all mortals on his face, his lips a purplish-red, and with two horns on his head, resembling both a dragon and a bull.

"Interesting! Two Heavenly Dao holinesses, and both at their mid-stages."

The Demon Ancestor strode forward, murmuring with interest as he walked.

In the Eight Wilderness, even Heavenly Dao holinesses are rarities.

Boom—

Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi broke through the ground and soared into the sky.

Hair flying wildly, Patriarch Bodhi’s Dust Brush transformed into a heaven-sweeping whip, violently lashing at Tathāgata.

With the Divine Buddha Dominant Body activated, Tathāgata faced the attacks without fear, resisting Patriarch Bodhi’s onslaught.

"I didn’t expect that, at the same realm, I still couldn’t get the better of him!"

Tathāgata frowned with annoyance in his heart.

Patriarch Bodhi shared the same sentiment; at their level, all God and Demon inherently possessed pride.

Equal in realm, each believed themselves to be the strongest.

Just then, both seemed to sense something and hastily came to a stop, simultaneously turning their heads to look towards the edge of the earth.

"What’s going on?"

Ji Bubai furrowed his brow and, the next second, his expression changed drastically as he turned to look.

Qin Jun and the others were also shocked, following suit in turning to see a fog-like mass of demonic energy sweeping toward them, with the figure of Tai Chu Demon Ancestor faintly visible.

"This demonic energy..."

Fuxi’s body trembled, as if realizing something.

The rest felt the same.

Tai Chu Demon Ancestor!

When Tai Chu Demon Ancestor had awakened from the gorge, the demonic energy that leaked was just as terrifying, identical to this.

Remembering Huo Zhenyu’s description, their hearts sank.

"How did we lure this guy here?"

Qin Jun’s brows knitted tightly; the Wild God had not appeared, but instead, a big trouble had arrived, which was a headache for him.

Boom! Boom!

Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi quickly landed in front of everyone, shattering the ground beneath them, dust billowing up as they warily watched over Tai Chu Demon Ancestor.

Seeing the backs of the two figures, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of security.

Two saints of the Heavenly Dao, they should be able to suppress Tai Chu Demon Ancestor, right?

"Hey? Why aren’t you fighting anymore?"

Tai Chu Demon Ancestor asked mockingly, greed flashing in his blood-colored pupils.

Two saints of the Heavenly Dao would surely be a great benefit!

Having awoken not long ago, he was in the midst of hunger.

"What do you intend to do?"

Tathāgata asked in a deep voice, Tai Chu Demon Ancestor giving him a very uncomfortable feeling, especially those eyes that seemed to want to devour them.

"What do I want to do? I want to eat you!"

Tai Chu Demon Ancestor said with a light chuckle. As he spoke, his speed suddenly increased, attacking everyone with afterimages.

Everyone tensed up at this scene.

Tathāgata quickly swung his palm out, a terrifying golden palm that stretched up to a hundred thousand feet, rushed along the shattered ground, crushing everything.

Boom——

Like a sharp arrow, Tai Chu Demon Ancestor broke through the golden giant palm, his black hair fluttering, and a ferocious smile spread across his strange face.

"Think being saints of the Heavenly Dao makes you invincible? In my eyes, you’re still prey!"

Tai Chu Demon Ancestor sneered, he had lived for countless eras, having seen as many strong individuals as there are stars in the sky.

Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi felt a chilling fear, both unleashing their full momentum, blowing Qin Jun and the others away as they faced the seemingly leisurely approaching Tai Chu Demon Ancestor like formidable enemies.

Tai Chu Demon Ancestor slowly raised his right hand, demonic energy surged skyward from his palm, and in the blink of an eye, a terrifying black sword a million feet long congealed, its sheer force scattering the dense fog. Looking up along the black sword, one could vaguely see the vast cosmic stars.

"What is this..."

Patriarch Bodhi’s face dripped with cold sweat; Tai Chu Demon Ancestor was different from all the enemies they had faced before—this was a true ancient behemoth of old!

"Hisss—"

"Can Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi defeat him?"

"It feels very uncertain, we’re doomed!"

"What should we do now?"

The God and Demons began to panic, Qin Jun tried to calm his emotions, looking steadily ahead.

His demeanor gradually calmed the God and Demons.

If His Majesty is so composed, he clearly still has a trump card!

Little did they know, Qin Jun was also filled with worry, but he couldn’t show any cowardice!

"Believe in them!"

Qin Jun said with a resolute voice; he couldn’t believe that Tai Chu Demon Ancestor could surpass the saints of the Heavenly Dao.
