TL: Etude
After Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins agreed to Palace Master Azure Dragon’s plan, he began maneuvering the battle toward Palace Master Azure Dragon’s position.
When he reached a spot not far from Palace Master Azure Dragon, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins abruptly wrapped the lord-level forbidden insect in a spatial shift, transferring it right in front of Palace Master Azure Dragon.
Imdiately, Palace Master Azure Dragon enveloped three lord-level forbidden insects, while Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins swiftly disengaged from the battlefield and traversed toward Palace Master Vermillion Bird’s location.
Palace Master Azure Dragon exerted all his strength to restrain the three lord-level forbidden insects, preventing them from escaping for a short ti.
anwhile.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins began cooperating with Dao Ancestor Vermillion Bird to completely suppress the lord-level forbidden insect. However, their target did not panic; even with Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins’ assistance, they were still unable to kill it.
“Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, attack it with full force and bind it with spatial techniques. Don’t let it escape!” Palace Master Vermillion Bird transmitted this ssage.
“Understood!” Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins replied.
Imdiately, he unleashed continuous attacks on the lord-level forbidden insect and used a spatial forbidden dao technique to bind it, keeping it trapped in the area and unable to flee.
Suddenly.
Above Palace Master Vermillion Bird’s head floated a gray statue about the height of a person. It seed utterly ordinary, but being summoned by Palace Master Vermillion Bird, it was clearly not an ordinary statue—it was a Heavenly Emperor Artifact.
“The Heavenly Emperor Artifact of the Heavenly Emperor Palace—Vast Sea Statue!” Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins spoke gravely.
It was rumored that Domain Ancestor Vast Sea had crafted several Heavenly Emperor Artifacts for the Heavenly Emperor Palace. These artifacts were made from extrely rare materials, required an extensive ti to forge, and consud significant energy to maintain.
Thus, the Heavenly Emperor Palace possessed only a few Heavenly Emperor Artifacts, and the Vast Sea Statue was one of them. It contained a trace of Domain Ancestor Vast Sea’s power, and when combined with Palace Master Vermillion Bird’s dao force, it could unleash a terrifying strike.
Even Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins dared not take a direct hit from a Heavenly Emperor Artifact. Without special ans to block it, he would suffer severe injuries or even perish.
At this mont.
The lord-level forbidden insect sensed the danger and desperately tried to escape. However, it was firmly bound by Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and had no way to flee.
Boom! The Vast Sea Statue transford into a majestic humanoid figure. Under the urging of Palace Master Vermillion Bird, it slowly opened its massive hands and reached for the lord-level forbidden insect.
The forbidden insect stared at the figure as if it felt the power of an Insect King, its body trembling uncontrollably. Yet, it fought back with all its might, its countless long limbs turning into shadows in an attempt to fend off the enormous hands.
All in vain! Crack! The lord-level forbidden insect was caught by the Vast Sea Statue’s hands, its body shattering under the relentless grip.
A terrifying trace of Domain Ancestor power continuously destroyed the forbidden insect’s body, extinguishing its vitality.
“Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, keep attacking!” Palace Master Vermillion Bird shouted.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins nodded without hesitation, using attack-type forbidden dao techniques to continuously strike the forbidden insect, dealing it blow after blow.
Of course, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins was only assisting; the primary damage ca from the Heavenly Emperor Artifact, the Vast Sea Statue! Suddenly, the lord-level forbidden insect lost its aura, crushed to death by the Vast Sea Statue.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins confird its death and ceased his attacks.
“It’s dead!”
Palace Master Vermillion Bird confird there was no feigned death.
He then collected the corpse of the lord-level forbidden insect but did not imdiately disperse the Vast Sea Statue.
He feared that Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins might attempt to seize the forbidden insect’s corpse. If Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins made such a move, the still-active Vast Sea Statue would imdiately target him.
When the lord-level forbidden insect’s corpse was fully collected by Palace Master Vermillion Bird, he finally dispersed the Vast Sea Statue.
At this mont, the Vast Sea Statue was riddled with cracks, appearing as though it might shatter at any ti.
“What a pity!” Palace Master Vermillion Bird sighed.
The Heavenly Emperor Artifact could still be used, but only once or twice more. At best, it could be used to kill an Invincible Dao Ancestor, but it would not be capable of slaying a Half-Step Domain Ancestor.
After eliminating one lord-level forbidden insect, Palace Master Vermillion Bird moved to assist Palace Master Azure Dragon, while Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins turned to slaughter commander-level forbidden insects. As for Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, he could still hold his own and didn’t require assistance.
The three lord-level forbidden insects battling Palace Master Azure Dragon were enraged when they saw Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins hunting down commander-level forbidden insects. They tried to stop him.
However, with Palace Master Vermillion Bird’s arrival, their hopes of leaving the battlefield were dashed.
Their tactics were too simple. Without a nurical advantage, it was easy for them to be pinned down.
The death of a lord-level forbidden insect caused their situation to shift drastically.
In truth, the lord-level forbidden insects had not anticipated the Dao Mountain Domain to possess two Half-Step Domain Ancestors. If they had known, they would never have attacked the base.
As ti passed, more and more commander-level forbidden insects fell. Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, moving swiftly and striking with precision, continued his efficient slaughter, leaving an increasing number of forbidden insects dead at his hands.
Suddenly.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins split into countless incarnations, appearing across various battlefields and annihilating a large number of forbidden insects in an instant.
At this point, the forbidden insects realized they had lost.
The lord-level forbidden insects and a few intelligent ones began to retreat, leading the forbidden insect army away from the battle.
During the retreat, many forbidden insects were naturally sacrificed.
Ye Tian also pursued the fleeing forbidden insects relentlessly. His Shadow Thorn was terrifyingly effective, leaving almost no forbidden insect capable of escaping. One after another fell under his Shadow Thorn.
After several hours, the forbidden insect army had disappeared without a trace, and the Dao Ancestors ceased their pursuit.
Afterward, they began to organize the battlefield, gathering their fallen comrades’ corpses along with the corpses of the forbidden insects.
“Father!”
Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue flew to Ye Tian’s side and called out.
“Are you both alright?” Ye Tian asked with concern.
“We’re fine, just a few minor injuries. It’s nothing serious!” Ye Xingchen quickly responded.
Ye Xingyue also assured that she hadn’t sustained any significant injuries.
“Let’s go back to Blackwind Mountain Base!” Ye Tian said.
Returning to Blackwind Mountain Base, Ye Tian began organizing the corpses of the forbidden insects he had killed.
Among them were one commander-level forbidden insect, 116 elite-level forbidden insects, and 243 ordinary forbidden insects. Such an achievent was extraordinarily remarkable. For other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, slaying just one elite-level forbidden insect was already an impressive accomplishnt.
Most Pinnacle Dao Ancestors could only manage to kill a few ordinary forbidden insects, and couldn’t even handle an elite-level one.
Worse still, many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors had beco prey to elite-level forbidden insects, falling to their opponents in the battle.
