TL: Etude
“Just who is this woman?”
Sword Sovereign Golden Light, Sword Sovereign Changfeng, and other Invincible True Ancestors were astounded.
They had only intended to attack Void Sky True Nation, thinking it would be an easy victory. However, Invincible True Ancestors appeared one after another—there were now three of them on the field.
Among them, two were at the absolute peak of the Invincible True Ancestor level, reputed as the top two in the Profound Void Ancient Realm.
The third Invincible True Ancestor to arrive was also imnsely powerful, easily killing six other Invincible True Ancestors, likely also a top-tier Invincible True Ancestor.
However, the known Invincible True Ancestors of the Profound Void Ancient Realm were few, and nearly all were familiar faces. But this woman was completely unknown to them.
Sword Sovereign Golden Light, Sword Sovereign Changfeng, and the other Invincible True Ancestors began to regret invading Void Sky True Nation. They sensed a crushing defeat ahead.
If they lost here, both the Heavenly Sword Sect and Purple Mist Sect would face ridicule from other forces in the Upper Three Heavens. anwhile, Void Sky True Nation would command the respect of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, and no power would dare to easily invade a stronghold with three Invincible True Ancestors.
After all, even if they broke through Void Sky True Nation, they would gain little, while the cost could be more than any force could bear.
“Sword Sovereign Golden Light, what should we do now?”
Sword Sovereign Changfeng sent a ssage to Sword Sovereign Golden Light, asking for direction.
Their hope of reinforcents was all but gone, and asking other Upper Three Heavens forces for help was unrealistic. Each power had its own obligations, and if one force could no longer endure, others might even rejoice.
After all, the Upper Three Heavens powers were competitors, and watching one fall could be a delight to the others.
While the Heavenly Sword Sect did have one more Invincible True Ancestor, he was stationed on another battlefield. Pulling him from there would doom the True Ancestors on that front.
In the end, they had no choice but to rely on themselves.
But when it beca clear that they couldn’t win on their own, the Heavenly Sword Sect lost all will to continue the fight.
“Retreat!” Sword Sovereign Golden Light sighed.
He dared not delay any longer. If they continued, more True Ancestors would fall, and the loss of True Ancestor Purple Crimson could endanger the others.
He had no wish to die in Void Sky True Nation!
“Retreat!”
The voices of Sword Sovereign Golden Light, Sword Sovereign Changfeng, True Ancestor Purple Crimson, and True Ancestor Purple Steel echoed across the battlefield.
Instantly, countless True Ancestors began withdrawing from Void Sky True Nation.
But with this retreat, the situation reversed. Many True Ancestors were unable to escape in ti and were killed. Retreating ant focusing solely on defense, putting them at a disadvantage.
This withdrawal left at least one hundred thousand True Ancestors behind.
Sword Sovereign Changfeng, True Ancestor Purple Crimson, and True Ancestor Purple Steel jointly dispelled the Ten-Direction Boundary Stone formation and began their retreat.
Ye Tian did not pursue them. Killing a single Invincible True Ancestor would not change much, and it might provoke further retaliation from Upper Three Heavens forces.
Thus, it was better to let the Heavenly Sword Sect go. In an instant, all six attacking forces withdrew.
What remained on the battlefield of the Void Sky True Nation was a wasteland littered with True Ancestor corpses.
“Each True Ancestor may claim the spoils from those they personally killed. For the True Ancestors who died in battle, bring their bodies back, build tombs to honor them, and send their belongings to their descendants or sects.” The heavily wounded True Ancestor Sheyue spoke up.
Imdiately, the remaining True Ancestors of the Void Sky True Nation set to work. Their speed and efficiency were swift; within a day, everything was taken care of, and the fallen were accounted for.
In this battle, Void Sky True Nation lost fifty-two thousand True Ancestors, including eight top-tier True Ancestors.
Originally, Void Sky True Nation had only thirteen top-tier True Ancestors; with the loss of eight, only five remained, a devastating toll.
However, Void Sky True Nation had made a na for itself, intimidating the Upper Three Heavens powers and securing a period of peace for stable developnt.
As long as Void Sky True Nation had ti, they would be able to rapidly develop, even giving rise to more Pinnacle True Ancestors and top-tier True Ancestors.
…
News of the Void Sky True Nation’s victory over the six major forces led by the Heavenly Sword Sect spread swiftly.
Many Upper Three Heavens forces imdiately began to ridicule the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“Heavenly Sword Sect is useless—six forces joined forces, and they still couldn’t conquer Void Sky True Nation.”
“They lost over four hundred thousand True Ancestors, and it seems they even lost dozens of Pinnacle True Ancestors and a large number of top-tier True Ancestors!”
“In my opinion, Heavenly Sword Sect hardly deserves its status as an Eighth Heaven force; they’re not even as strong as so of the top Seventh Heaven forces!”
“Heavenly Sword Sect may be pathetic, but Void Sky True Nation shouldn’t be underestimated either. Reports from the battle indicate that Void Sky True Nation actually has three Invincible True Ancestors.”
“Heavenly Sword Sect clarified that the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws and General Nine Limits of Blackwind Mountain are two separate individuals. The previous information was completely wrong—Blackwind Mountain misled us on purpose!”
“Although Heavenly Sword Sect failed this ti, they wouldn’t lie about it. It seems that General Nine Limits is indeed General Nine Limits, and the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws is his own person. The two likely share a deep connection and similar talents; they may have received the sa inheritance, mastering comparable Dao techniques.”
“At the mont, it’s best not to provoke Void Sky True Nation. Two Invincible True Ancestors working together could kill any single Invincible True Ancestor! Unless multiple Invincible True Ancestors besiege them, there’s little chance of victory!”
In the end, these Upper Three Heavens forces decided not to provoke Void Sky True Nation for the ti being.
They understood well that a single Eighth Heaven force could not conquer Void Sky True Nation, and as for Ninth Heaven forces, they wouldn’t take action lightly.
Furthermore, no Ninth Heaven force could guarantee a victory over Ye Tian without incurring heavy losses.
Therefore, giving up on invading Void Sky True Nation was the best choice for now.
…
Human Race, Sacred Hall.
After handling the affairs of the fallen True Ancestors, Ye Tian went to visit Ouyang Jiu’er to express his gratitude.
This ti, if not for Ouyang Jiu’er’s intervention, Xiao Yue would have been in grave danger, as would have been Void Sky True Nation.
Ouyang Jiu’er’s contribution was significant.
“Jiu’er, thank you for your help!” Ye Tian said gratefully.
“No problem!” Ouyang Jiu’er smiled and said, “You’ve helped a lot, too. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to break through the limit and beco an Invincible True Ancestor. But I must remind you—not to get complacent just because you repelled Heavenly Sword Sect this ti.
They simply weren’t willing to pay the heavy price it would take. Otherwise, Heavenly Sword Sect could have broken through Void Sky True Nation.
Moreover, those three Ninth Heaven forces are all ancient powers. They have the ans to kill any Invincible True Ancestor, but they’re unwilling to reveal their trump cards!”
Suddenly, Ouyang Jiu’er added, “So, what’s the deal between you and General Nine Limits? As I recall, you are General Nine Limits!”
“That’s a special talent of mine; you could consider it a clone talent. Although I can use it, it can’t be sustained for long and takes a long ti to activate again,” Ye Tian explained.
He couldn’t fool Ouyang Jiu’er about not being General Nine Limits since he’d personally led her into Blackwind Mountain. He couldn’t deceive her, nor could he deceive General Bloodfiend of Blackwind Mountain.
But as long as he could deceive others, that was enough.
“A clone talent, huh? That’s an impressive talent. Now other forces will probably think General Nine Limits is soone else, and that’s for the best.”
“At the very least, you’ll be a bit safer! And with your ties to Blackwind Mountain severed, those three major Ninth Heaven forces will likely be reluctant to use their trump cards against you. After all, if they strike, they’d still have to deal with General Nine Limits as a threat.” Ouyang Jiu’er remarked.
Ye Tian didn’t linger long at Ouyang Jiu’er’s residence and soon departed.
Afterward, Ye Tian began a secluded cultivation retreat.
He intended to break through to Supre True Ancestor combat strength as quickly as possible. If he could achieve that, he would have the power to change his current situation and no longer fear any force’s threats.
Otherwise, as seen this ti, if not for Ouyang Jiu’er’s intervention, he would’ve been trapped, unable to save his wife while his clone body was held back.
Once he reached the Supre True Ancestor level, the so-called Invincible True Ancestors would an little to him, and he would be confident of killing his opponents swiftly.
