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

The supreme aura collided with all things in heaven and earth, and even the deep and viscous night of the Eternal Night solidified.

Often, the gap is evident through the aura alone.

The realm of the path, the strength of the divine power... all these are reflected in the essence of life.

At this moment, Xiahou Shou's aura had already transformed, far surpassing the breath of beings like Xiahong Feng, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, and the sons of God!

Especially having personally felt the aura of the Yanfu Master, he naturally had a clear comparison.

"Why is there the aura of the Olden Master?"

Lin Yue found it hard to believe, but he didn't have time to think much about it. He immediately transmitted his divine thought to Xiahong Feng: "Something's wrong, let's return to Great Yong first!"

Within a single thought, he urged his power to wrap around Xiahong Feng and started traversing the void.

The place was only three hundred thousand miles from Great Yong, with his method of void traversal, covering tens of thousands of miles in a breath, he would reach Great Yong soon.

Although the situation of Xiahou Shou was unclear, the instant the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was killed, an originally overlooked Xiahou Shou underwent such a change, causing him to suspect —

Was the Heavenly Demon Ancestor setting himself up for death and using his life to expend this ultimate killing technique?

This speculation seemed quite absurd.

The strength at the level of a son of God like the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was impressive even in the Ancient Times, second only to the primordial sons!

Such an existence deliberately sacrificing himself seemed too ridiculous.

Unless...

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor deemed Xiahou Shou more important than his own life, at the cost of his own death, to have him use this killing opportunity.

"He's following, getting closer."

As they traversed the void, Xiahong Feng suddenly transmitted his divine thought: "Your void traversal technique is stronger than anyone I've seen, yet Xiahou Shou, who isn't even adept in the void lineage, is traversing the void so quickly, indicating something extraordinary happened to him."

Lin Yue naturally sensed the approaching terrible aura too.

He remained silent for a moment and transmitted his thought: "My current void traversal technique is aided by the treasure from the Yanfu Master, allowing me to be better at traversing the void than those sons of God who master the void lineage, Xiahou Shou keeping up definitely indicates extraordinary changes."

"But how is that possible?"

Xiahong Feng couldn't quite comprehend, transmitting his thought: "Even if he condenses his divine heart, he's still merely at the level of a son of God, what treasure from the Ancient Times can vastly increase one's strength all of a sudden?"

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes, transmitting his thought: "It's not Xiahou Shou's aura, but the Olden Master, yet how it's done, I don't understand, every primordial son has techniques beyond comprehension. Even when the Divine Emperor went to kill Xiahou Shou's original body, he was severely injured and lost his authority."

Xiahong Feng furrowed his brows and asked: "If Xiahou Shou had such strength, why didn't he attack Great Yong in the past? He didn't seem special before."

Upon awakening, one sword destroyed Xiahou Shou's spiritual body, leaving only his primordial spirit shielded by some power to flee.

Xiahou Shou had only proven his path for decades, his martial arts proficiency was lacking, he hadn't condensed his divine heart, and his strength was quite inferior to that of the sons of God.

"It is strange indeed."

As Lin Yue frantically traversed the void, he also furrowed his brows slightly: "I suspect there is a cost to this power, initially not using it against me might be out of fear that I'd notice his threat, worrying I'd disregard the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and kill him first."

As a primordial human mastering the Ultimate Path returning from the Yanfu World, anyone with some sense could guess — he must have received considerable gifts from the Yanfu Master.

If Xiahou Shou could bring out the Death Announce Spirit, he naturally could too.

This kind of ultimate killing technique involving authority, though disregarding strength, could only be used once.

Now, having used his ultimate killing technique on the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, Xiahou Shou naturally had no reservations anymore.

"No wonder he readily used the Death Announce Spirit on me."

Lin Yue's gaze turned cold: "Though his current strength can kill me, he has to consider the life-saving treasures given by the Yanfu Master, using the Death Announce Spirit ensures absolute kill..."

Given Xiahou Shou's current strength, the value of the Death Announce Spirit was not as exaggerated anymore.

"But he's not of the Ancient Human Clan, still under the Heavenly Dao's control."

Lin Yue, with astonishing speed, led Xiahong Feng through the void towards Great Yong, "Now the Heavenly Dao's might in Great Yong shouldn't fear him..."

Suddenly—

"It's here!"

Xiahong Feng uttered a low warning, abruptly breaking away from Lin Yue's maintained void traversing state, and while thrusting Lin Yue aside, tightly gripped the giant sword in his hand and swung it backwards!

With his martial arts proficiency and the strength of a son of God, under this sword, even the Heavenly Demon Ancestor would be suppressed.

Yet—

"Clang!"

The terrifying sword light that seemed to shatter the sky was abruptly seized by a hand exuding yellow light.

It was an arm faintly containing the infinite chaos of heaven and earth, more so flowing with a layer of terrifying dark aura, as if all ends of the world converged here.

The sword blade gripped by the fingers of this hand could not be moved at all.

Xiahou Shou, clutching Xiahong Feng's Lifebound Sovereign Divine Sword with one hand, slightly curled his lips in a mocking manner and said, "Worthy of the Human Ancestor, truly formidable."

Lin Yue's pupils contracted abruptly.

Caught the full-force sword of Xiahong Feng barehanded?

"No... not barehanded."

Lin Yue instantly realized: "The yellow light should be the power of his Lifebound Sovereign Artifact, but even so, that is terrifying... is that the hand of the Olden Master?"

He couldn't think of any other possibilities beyond this explanation.

Even a single arm of the Olden Master, even with only a fraction of its original body's power, far exceeded the fearsome strength of a son of God.
