Chapter 942: Chapter 936: The Cautious Seventh Ancestor, Detonating the Five Great Holy Artifacts!_1
The Nine Ancestors no longer hid their true face, revealing an expression filled with brutality and ruthlessness.
As he absorbed the power of the Seventh Ancestor, he sneered with a twisted smile,
"Naive, too naive."
"If it had been me who was seriously injured, do you think you would have chosen to save me?"
"Instead of saving this half-dead person, wouldn't it be a better choice to let me fully inherit your power?"
"Rest assured, I'll make sure your death is worthwhile, I will avenge you."
The Seventh Ancestor's eyes were filled with hatred, a hatred that even surpassed that for Luo Yu.
After all, no matter how one put it, Luo Yu was an outsider, whereas he and the Nine Ancestors had known each other for innumerable years, calling each other brothers for countless millennia.
"You... You..."
"Hahaha."
Luo Yu began to laugh from the side, sheathing the dim Slay-Immortal Sword and clapping his hands.
"What a display of deep brotherly affection, such reluctant farewells."
"Your Youming Sacred Heaven truly is a breeding ground for talent. No, a breeding ground for scum and beasts."
The already dissipating Divine Spirit of the Seventh Ancestor was being furiously absorbed by the Nine Ancestors. Now, under the verbal assault of Luo Yu, it exploded with anger.
The Nine Ancestors grunted and stepped back, but they didn't sustain any injuries. On the contrary, as they absorbed the Seventh Ancestor's power, their Divine Spirit became more solidified and their aura continued to rise.
Luo Yu's expression turned ugly.
He had calculated everything, but never anticipated that the Nine Ancestors would kill the Seventh Ancestor to absorb his power. This had completely caught him off guard.
He had been careless; otherwise, there might have been a chance to fight. Now, it was truly time for a desperate struggle, as he had already exhausted all his efforts and had no more cards to play.
What to do!
He didn't look toward Soul Land because he knew that was the place he needed to protect.
Any lack of confidence from him would bring despair to the people there.
A true man always dares to take responsibility, capable of remaining calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him.
Though Luo Yu had no plan in mind, the calm demeanor on his face made the Nine Ancestors quite wary, as they saw him as someone exceedingly tricky.
He seemed like an unkillable cockroach who each time was almost finished off by them, only to turn the tables and counter-kill with some incomprehensible last resort.
While absorbing the Seventh Ancestor's power, the Nine Ancestors also began to probe Luo Yu with words.
"Kid, there's no way you can recover faster than me. You're doomed today."
"I tell you, even the legendary ancient Divine Spirits can't save you now."
Luo Yu understood that it was absolutely crucial not to show any weakness at this time. Since the opponent was timid and not daring to charge forward, he had to act even more arrogantly.
Bearing the severe pain, he straightened his back and beckoned to the Seventh Ancestor with a flick of his finger.
"So confident you can deal with me?"
"Then come on over."
The corners of the Nine Ancestors' mouths held a thick sneer.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"To attack now would be giving you a chance."
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish right now."
"Boom, boom—"
The Nine Ancestors' body became increasingly solidified as they spoke, their momentum climbing steadily.
The mood of the spectators from Soul Land was like riding a roller coaster, just having relaxed a moment ago only to tense up again.
An enemy so inhumane and cautious was the most difficult to deal with.
Too cunning.
"Are you sure you won't attack me now?"
A wicked smile played on Luo Yu's lips.
"Wait until later to attack, and it might be too late."
"Playing mysterious games." The Seventh Ancestor spoke coldly, "Come on, if you have any cards left, show them to me."
"Are you sure you want to see?" asked Luo Yu.
"Oh, still pretending?"
The Seventh Ancestor said with a laugh, "I must say, your acting is indeed not bad."
```
"But now, you no longer need to struggle."
As he spoke, the Seventh Ancestor's momentum soared to its peak, although it wasn't as strong as when he had a physical body, it still far exceeded Luo Yu's current power.
He looked down from on high, overlooking Luo Yu opposite him.
"Kid, rest assured, I won't give you the chance to get close."
"Go to hell."
Seventh Ancestor directly expended his soul power to activate the Ghostly Banner, which soared into the air. In an instant, it fluttered in the wind, covering the sky and blocking the sun.
Countless breaths of death rolled in the void, exuding a thick stench of demise, capable of stripping away all life.
Sweeping towards Luo Yu.
The creatures of Soul Land clutched their left chests as if their heartbeats had frozen at that moment, their worries reaching a climax.
"Sigh—"
Luo Yu let out a long sigh, somewhat helpless.
In fact, he had indeed thought of a killing move, confident he could get close to exterminate the Seventh Ancestor, to eliminate this final enemy.
But he discovered that his opponent was cunning, not coming any closer at all.
Facing that all-encompassing deathly aura, Luo Yu reached behind him and pulled out the miniaturized Five Ancestral Sacred Artefacts.
He was unable to wield them; he'd only managed a brief suppression before.
Although he couldn't wield them, that didn't mean they couldn't be used.
Luo Yu infused the divine killing aura of the Slay-Immortal Sword into the Five Artefacts, triggering their power cores.
The aura of the Five Artefacts immediately became chaotic and unstable.
He tossed the Five Artefacts in the direction of the Ghostly Banner.
The Nine Ancestors first laughed out loud.
"What, you know you're no match, so you're delivering a boon and surrendering to me?"
However, as he saw the Five Ancestral Saint Weapons flashing with a brutal light, expanding as if they were about to explode, he suddenly cursed out loud.
"Damn it, if you want to die, don't take me with you."
"You're a madman, even willing to detonate Progenitor-level Saint Weapons, how could you possibly have the power to detonate Holy Artifacts!!"
Luo Yu likewise returned a cold gaze.
"What use is a fine Holy Artifact when one's life is gone? Besides, with weapons of this level, young master here really isn't impressed."
"Boom—"
The Five Ancestral Saint Weapons exploded, and the true meanings of the rules collided, creating a grand and terrifying explosion.
"Madman, you're really hell-bent on mutual destruction!"
The Nine Ancestors let out a terrified shriek, feeling violent shudders all over his body, as no one knew how terrifying the self-destruction of Ancestral-level Saint Weapons could be.
Because even Ancestral-level Powerhouses treated the Saint Weapons as precious as their own children, never daring to blow them up.
"Rumble—"
The massive, fierce explosion persisted in the universe, those Progenitor-level forces of Rule Power collided and shattered the universe, tearing apart the vacuum.
"Ah!"
The Nine Ancestors, even under the protection of the Ghostly Banner, let out continuous screams, feeling as if his form was about to be annihilated amidst the explosion.
He was terrified.
Clenching his teeth.
"Damn kid, I still have the Ghostly Banner to shield me, but with your condition, you're surely dead."
"Crack, crack—"
The Nine Ancestor's pupils shrank, as cracks started to appear on the Ghostly Banner, and the terrible energy of the explosion threatened to pour through the fissures.
The Nine Ancestor desperately resisted, yet his divine spirit was still greatly scattered.
When all the energy settled, the Ghostly Banner was riddled with holes, and the Nine Ancestors' aura had weakened, drooping down.
He sneered as he looked toward the spot where Luo Yu had been standing.
"Kid, the ultimate victor is still me!"
"Oh?"
The doubtful voice made the Nine Ancestors' flesh crawl.
"Not dead, that terrible explosion just now, and the kid isn't dead???"
