“Go!”
Ye Tian stowed away the cold jade coffin and quickly fled from the area.
After the chaos just now, the exit was no longer far away from him.
He had gained a reasonable understanding of the strength of these True Ancestors from the Sunset Sect. In a true confrontation, he wouldn’t stand a chance against them. However, they also couldn’t kill him with a single strike.
As for the wondrous object attack earlier, Ye Tian figured that the True Ancestor could only use it once. If he could unleash it again, Ye Tian could still block it once more with the cold jade coffin.
Only an overwhelming strike from a soul-based wondrous object would be beyond his ability to resist.
But he didn’t believe he would be that unlucky. Besides, he was almost out. Even if the True Ancestors still wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t have ti.
“How could it be blocked?” The True Ancestor from the Sunset Sect stood frozen in disbelief.
His miniature sword, a wondrous object, could not be stopped by anyone below the True Ancestor level. Even if an opponent used a solid object to block it, the energy contained within the strike should have been enough to annihilate the enemy.
Yet, Ye Tian’s cold jade coffin not only blocked the attack but also absorbed most of the energy, which was why the impact hadn’t killed him outright.
Otherwise, Ye Tian would have perished.
“Damn it! What kind of treasure is that cold jade coffin? How could it block my miniature sword?”
The True Ancestor of the Sunset Sect felt incredibly frustrated.
That wondrous object was the only one he possessed. He didn’t care about the loss of the object, especially since he was going to die soon—what use were treasures to the dead? What gnawed at him was his failure to kill Ye Tian.
“Quick, stop that True Monarch!”
The True Ancestor imdiately sent a transmission to the other True Ancestors.
At once, two True Ancestors stationed near the entrance tried to block Ye Tian’s escape. But this ti, they didn’t employ any wondrous object attacks. Ye Tian, risking injury, forced his way through them and escaped.
anwhile, the incarnations of several Dao Ancestors also made their way out, drawing significant enemy fire. This diversion made Ye Tian’s escape easier. Had more than three Dao Ancestors blocked him, there would have been no way for him to flee.
Once out of the Sunset Sect, Ye Tian didn’t imdiately retreat far away. Instead, he stayed nearby, accelerating ti to heal his injuries.
Inside the Sunset Sect.
Faced with resistance from nurous True Monarchs and the incarnations of Dao Ancestors, the remaining True Ancestors soon began to falter. Before an hour had passed, so True Ancestors couldn’t hold on any longer.
Boom!!! With a desperate final attack from three Dao Ancestor incarnations, one of the Sunset Sect’s True Ancestors exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
With the fall of the first True Ancestor, the others followed one by one, either succumbing to the backlash of their own origin force or being crushed by the suppression of heaven and earth. Their bodies lay lifeless on the ground.
This battle claid the lives of countless mbers of the Sunset Sect—True Monarchs and countless others, their corpses scattered everywhere.
In truth, the true treasures and opportunities no longer lay with the Sunset Sect. Instead, they were now with the bodies of these fallen True Monarchs.
Every True Monarch carried imnse wealth. The sheer number of fallen True Monarchs ant their combined value was unimaginably high.
Whoosh…!!
A figure suddenly darted back from the outside—it was Ye Tian, fully healed.
“Collect!”
“Collect!”
“Collect!”
Ye Tian used the Blackwind Domain Technique to continuously gather the bodies of True Monarchs, storing them inside his internal universe. His collection speed far outpaced that of the Dao Ancestor incarnations.
The surviving Dao Ancestor incarnations, seeing Ye Tian’s actions, were filled with rage. However, now was not the ti for confrontation—any delay in fighting would result in soone else snatching the treasures.
Thus, they all joined the frenzy of gathering bodies.
Gradually, more and more participants entered the looting spree.
After half an hour passed.
Ye Tian had secured many True Monarch corpses and even managed to snatch the body of a Sunset Sect True Ancestor. Without wasting any ti, he promptly left the area.
This was no place to linger. If the Sunset Sect sent more True Ancestors, it would spell disaster.
Previously, the multitude of True Monarchs had diverted much of the enemy’s firepower. But with no such distraction now, should another True Ancestor appear, his chances of escape would be slim.
Moreover, if the incarnations of the Dao Ancestors from the Third Heaven decided to target him, it would be truly troubleso.
He wasn’t yet strong enough to defeat the incarnations of Third Heaven Dao Ancestors. If a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor incarnation were to intervene, he’d be finished for sure.
Thus, Ye Tian decided it was best to leave while he was ahead.
Soon after Ye Tian’s departure, the Dao Ancestor incarnations finished collecting the remaining True Monarch corpses. Realizing Ye Tian had already vanished, they abandoned any thoughts of going after him.
“Let’s leave quickly. We mustn’t continue damaging the Sunset Sect. The thirty True Ancestors were clearly a warning from the sect’s higher-ups. If we push further and attempt to break into the core formations, the Sunset Sect may stop at nothing to wipe us out!”
This thought resonated among the remaining Dao Ancestor incarnations.
With that…
The Dao Ancestor incarnations, along with the remaining True Monarchs, departed from the Sunset Sect.
Not long after, the entrance to the sect slowly began to heal, disappearing without a trace.
Of course, the Dao Ancestors had the power to break open the entrance again, but none of them dared to try.
…
Inside the mysterious space of the Sunset Sect
The voices of the Dao Ancestors of the Sunset Sect echoed once more.
“Those intruders have all left. The Sunset Sect is preserved… though it’s a pity about those thirty True Ancestors.”
“There’s no need to grieve. Those thirty True Ancestors were already suffering from damaged origin forces. For them to protect the sect, their sacrifice wasn’t in vain.”
“Hmph! The forces of this domain have caused us severe losses. When we re-erge one day, we must reclaim our honor and bathe the Chaos in blood!”
“Let’s not act recklessly. Our Sunset Sect is rely a Fourth Heaven force. For now, it’s more important to preserve our strength. This is an unfamiliar domain, and none of us know what the future holds. It’s better to tread cautiously.”
Gradually, the voices of the Dao Ancestors fell silent, and their consciousness drifted back into slumber.
…
Sowhere within the battlefield ruins
Ye Tian tore through space, descending into a secluded area. After confirming there was no one around, he let out a sigh of relief.
“This harvest is incredible! It’s by far the biggest I’ve ever had!” Ye Tian said excitedly.
Without hesitation, he entered a small domain and began sorting through his spoils carefully.
