You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Xiahong Feng glanced at Lin Yue, knowing he wasn't telling the truth.

"Not interfere with each other?"

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at Lin Yue and shook his head: "I am well aware of your hatred towards my Demon Clan. If you transcend in the future, will you really let my Demon Clan go?"

He paused and said, "But my Demon Clan bears no grudge against you. We only seek survival. Before you transcend, my Demon Clan will leave Eternal Night and won't be a threat to your Human Clan, right?"

"I don't trust the Demon Clan."

Lin Yue sneered and said, "Just with your few words, uncertain in truth, you expect me to compromise? Either drag it out, or fight. You choose."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor remained silent for a while and said, "What meaning is there in dragging it out?"

He shook his head and said, "Even if we take a step back, even if my Demon Clan truly believes you, can you really transcend? Moreover, my Demon Clan has already made an agreement with the Lord of the Old Days. We cannot wait."

Breaking through the World Barrier requires cooperation from both worlds, acting simultaneously.

But the two worlds cannot communicate; the only connection is the flow of time.

Thus, we can only agree on an exact time point, at which we can strike simultaneously.

"Don't even think about the Ultimate Divine Artifact."

Lin Yue said, "Either you give me the method of using the Ultimate Divine Artifact, and I'll decide."

If the Demon Clan could really use this Ultimate Divine Artifact, it would be a massive threatening weapon, so how could it possibly be given away?

"Impossible."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor said, "This matter concerns the survival of my Demon Clan."

"In that case, there's nothing more to discuss," Lin Yue said coldly. "Let's see which side can survive till the end."

The atmosphere instantly froze.

"Be careful."

Xiahong Feng transmitted his Divine Thought: "With Heaven's personality, if one path doesn't work, he'll definitely switch paths without hesitation."

"Be ready to act at any moment." Lin Yue transmitted via Divine Thought, "At least let's try to kill him first."

At this moment, his Divine Thought had already delved into a Treasure hidden within his storage Divine Artifact, ready to activate it at any time.

And at the same moment—

"No way forward."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor's Divine Thought transmission echoed in Xiahou Shou's mind: "The final attempt has failed as expected... Xiahou Shou, henceforth I entrust my clan to you."

With that, he flipped his hand, took out that terrifying drop of Ancient Blood, and unhesitatingly absorbed it into his body!

The terrifying power containing Authority within the Ancient Blood instantly spread out, beginning to merge into his body!

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's power began to escalate at an astonishing speed!

"So decisive?"

Lin Yue's eyes also flared slightly, and he immediately transmitted via Divine Thought: "Block him! I'll kill him; if he truly becomes a vassal of the Lord of the Old Days, it will be trouble."

Originally the Son of God, and now merging with Source Blood, not only possessing an indestructible body but also raising his power by a tier!

Xiahong Feng's martial arts expertise made him barely half a tier stronger than the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's true body, yet that was enough to suppress him.

However, with the successful fusion of Source Blood, the outcome was about to be reversed!

"Boom!"

Without needing further words, a great sword of Lifebound Sovereign Artifact had already appeared in Xiahong Feng's hand, and he swung it down at the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor allowed the Source Blood to remodel his body while wielding his sword to fend off Xiahong Feng.

Xiahou Shou transformed into a streak of light and fled, not daring to engage with Xiahong Feng.

"Boom!"

Upon collision, accompanied by terrifying undulations spreading out, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was immediately sent flying back hundreds of miles by Xiahong Feng before barely managing to stop.

Lin Yue seized the opportunity to take out a bronze mirror, his eyes fixed intently on the mirror's surface, while his Divine Thought locked onto the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, picturing his form and aura in his mind.

On the mirror's surface, a faint, ethereal shadow began to appear, unmistakably the figure of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

This Curse Death Mirror was a Treasure given to him by the Lord of Yanfu.

As long as the living being within the reach of Divine Thought is imprinted in the mirror, even if the opponent is the Son of God, death is certain.

There's no need to rely on one's own guidance to lock onto a target, just the lock of Divine Thought suffices, but the drawback is it requires some time.

If he is killed during this period, it will be interrupted.

This is why he hadn't taken it out earlier.

After all, with a Treasure capable of exercising Authority like this, without the true body of the Lord of Yanfu entering Eternal Night, only the will in the bronze mirror can utilize the powers of heaven and earth just once.

Just like the Death Announce Spirit used by Xiahou Shou.

With just one opportunity, it certainly needs to be cherished.

As long as someone can block the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, he can bring the Heavenly Demon Ancestor to death!

Moreover, with his ability to traverse the void, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor can never escape his Divine Thought range.

"Wow."

Xiahong Feng took a step forward, instantly catching up with the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, attempting to continue suppressing him.

But as this second sword strike descended, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor had apparently already fused a portion of the Source Blood, and as his aura silently changed, he actually turned back and blocked this attack from Xiahong Feng with a single sword!

This time, he wasn't pushed back far, only retreating a few hundred meters before stabilizing his figure.

The effect of the Ancient Blood had already begun to show.

"Master."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor's gaze became a bit more indifferent and wooden, the sword in his hand transforming into a misty sword light that pierced through time and space, slashing at Xiahong Feng.

Amidst the terrifying clash, the two were evenly matched this time.

In an instant, the nearby mountains were leveled.

"Boom boom boom!" The Heavenly Demon Ancestor and Xiahong Feng transformed into two streams of light traversing the Eternal Night, continually clashing with terrifying aftershocks.

After just a dozen exchanges, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor had already begun to gain the upper hand.

The remnants of his self-awareness still tried to attack Lin Yue, but were repeatedly blocked by Xiahong Feng.

As for Xiahou Shou, he had long since flown away to an unknown distance.

Lin Yue couldn't manage, his mind entirely focused on the copper mirror before him, the image of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor on the mirror becoming increasingly clear.

After dozens of exchanges, Xiahong Feng had completely fallen into a disadvantage.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor was now far stronger than before, his power and speed completely beyond the level of a Son of God. Xiahong Feng could only barely hold on with superior martial arts prowess.

However, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's consciousness was also clearly on the verge of dormancy.

"His strength is rising too quickly, I can hardly hold him back. Are you ready?" Xiahong Feng transmitted his Divine Thought to Lin Yue.

At this moment, the image of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor on the copper mirror in Lin Yue's hand had become entirely clear.

He revealed a slight smile, "It's over."

In the next instant, with a thought, the image of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor on the copper mirror was quietly erased like dust, leaving only the upper half.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor fighting with Xiahong Feng suddenly had half of his body strangely erased.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor suddenly looked at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue looked at him, and with another thought,

the remaining half of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor on the copper mirror was completely erased.

"Finally..."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor seemed to sense his own disappearance, yet he revealed a faint smile, his mind flashing with one last thought, "Xiahou Shou, no one can threaten you now..."

Then, he vanished completely, quietly erased.

Along with him, his Lifebound Sovereign Artifact also turned into specks of light, dispersing without a trace.

"Is it over?"

Lin Yue was slightly stunned, looking at the shattered and disappearing copper mirror in his hand, somewhat in disbelief.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor died just like that?

He had thought that the Heavenly Demon Ancestor might have some special backup plan, even if erased, it might not be irreversible, or perhaps he had hidden a Second Primordial Spirit?

But the Lifebound Divine Artifact disappeared too, indicating there was no Second Primordial Spirit, meaning he was truly dead!

However...

This seemed a bit too easy.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor seemed like he was courting death.

This made him involuntarily suspicious.

If the Heavenly Demon Ancestor had no countermeasures, why would he court death like this?

"Is it really over..."

Xiahong Feng took a step forward, returning to Lin Yue's side, and said slowly: "Only Xiahou Shou is left, can you catch up to him? Perhaps..."

At this moment—

"Boom!"

An incomparably terrifying aura suddenly came from the distance, and wherever that aura passed, even heaven and earth trembled.

"Hmm? The aura of the Ancient One?"

Lin Yue's face slightly changed, "That's the direction Xiahou Shou escaped to!"
