The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries — Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Chat Group Summons Aid, Highland Dungeon Opens

All worlds were silent.

After Arrogant Heaven Emperor (Shi Hao) broke through the Sacrificial Dao Realm, the sheer battle prowess he displayed shocked everyone into absolute stillness.

One single move. Instantly annihilated the true bodies of three Strange Ancestors simultaneously.

The degree of this colossal leap in battle prowess was truly astonishing. Who would have thought that just moments ago, he was beaten to the brink of death by the same three Strange Ancestors?

Now, with a single Breakthrough, he was directly peerless and invincible against them.

Of the Ten Ancestors, nine had been forcefully sent back to their original homes. The nine Strange Ancestors remained within the Strange Highland, not daring to emerge and risk further annihilation.

The remaining single Strange Ancestor struggled under the relentless siege of Empress Ruthless, Liu Shen, and the other Immortal Emperors.

Ye Tiandi, Arrogant Heaven Emperor, and Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor (Shi Jian, now revived and ascended) were blocking the very entrance to the Strange Highland, truly spawn-camping the ultimate villains.

“You were right, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor; there is a fundamental gap even between Sacrificial Dao and Sacrificial Dao!” Arrogant Heaven Emperor looked at the three Strange Ancestors who had revived after being destroyed by him, returning their own arrogant words to them.

The faces of the few visible Strange Ancestors turned exceedingly grim. However, at this moment, they dared not act rashly.

The battle prowess displayed by Arrogant Heaven Emperor was simply too terrifying. Originally, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor had already pressured them to the point of breathlessness. Now Arrogant Heaven Emperor had also become so unfathomable.

Being killed to the point of staying in the Strange Highland and not daring to venture out—this was the first time in cosmic history this had happened to them.

The situation became a fragile stalemate.

The Strange Ancestor who was being besieged by many Immortal Emperors saw this, and his face became even gloomier. He did not hesitate, choosing to self-terminate his fighting body.

His body dissipated, then he instantly reappeared within the Strange Highland.

“To flee a skirmish without fighting to the end, it’s a shame you’re still a Strange Ancestor…” Di Gu Ge (the revived original Immortal Emperor) muttered, exasperated.

The others also did not expect the Strange Ancestor to simply self-terminate. Otherwise, if they had continued to wear him down, they could have achieved the feat of an Immortal Emperor slaying a Sacrificial Dao being.

“Do not scatter your essence! Combine the strength of ten people, and fully assassinate the three!”

Upon seeing the return of the remaining Strange Ancestor, the Ten Ancestors were gathered once more.

They no longer hesitated, but actively charged out. Heaven and Earth overturned, and ancient and modern times seemed to reverse in their path.

The Ten Ancestors stepped forward together, intending to jointly slaughter everyone.

A terrifying thing happened. Mysterious patterns appeared between the Ancestors. They surpassed simple Dao patterns. Those were terrifying patterns that even Immortal Emperors could not comprehend.

Now these patterns connected the ten individuals.

The Ten Ancestors exerted their power together. Boundless light erupted, and the ten of them seemed to completely coalesce into one, becoming a single ultimate Super Ancestor beyond the Sacrificial Dao-Grade.

Their singular figure stood outside the world, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, appearing everywhere at once.

At this moment, a boundless suppression swept out, and the Qi was vast. Even Immortal Emperors felt their Souls uneasy, and a sense of primal horror arose in their hearts.

Shi Jian’s and Shi Hao’s expressions couldn’t help but turn solemn at this sight.

Each of them, individually, could easily fight ten standard Strange Ancestors. But facing the newly combined power of ten Strange Ancestors in a single entity, it was hard to say how long they could hold out.

The power of the Strange Ancestors was there. Their defensive power was there. Ten single-point attacks they could manage, but one attack with 10 points of combined power was immensely more formidable.

The Ten Ancestors moved together, and in an instant, a colossal, sweeping light engulfed the Heavens and Worlds.

Arrogant Heaven Emperor moved, terrifying power roared, and sword light swept across heaven and earth. The entire sky was covered by his sword light.

Shi Jian also moved, infinite mighty power boiled, and with a punch, the area in front was directly annihilated, a scene of great destruction appearing, as if the Heavens and Worlds were about to be destroyed.

The two of them attacked together. They were not like the Strange Ancestors, able to combine and superimpose their power.

However, after breaking through the Sacrificial Dao Realm, both of their battle prowess had reached an unimaginably terrifying level. Although they had not touched upon the Realm above Sacrificial Dao, they had forcefully carved out a Realm of half-step above Sacrificial Dao.

Therefore, facing the combined might of the Ten Ancestors now, the two of them were still fearless.

Although Ye Fan’s strength was slightly weaker at this critical moment, he was not to be outdone. He erupted with infinite mighty power, his hands tracing inexplicable Dao trajectories, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to condense in his hands.

Endless power of the Dao, woven into patterns, struck the merging entity.

Rumble. Countless Dao Laws burst forth with dazzling light. The Ten Ancestors were completely engulfed at this moment.

The two sides erupted into an incomparably fierce battle. The Strange Ancestors were all transformed from the ashes of Di Gu Ge, each possessing Sacrificial Dao-Grade power, but they were not as strong as true, perfected Sacrificial Dao beings. They were like a cosmic fake.

Therefore, Shi Hao and the others could easily take on several at once. After the two brothers completely entered this ultimate Domain, the Strange Ancestors were individually no match.

However, their power Origin was consistent. The source of their power was all from Di Gu Ge’s ashes. Therefore, they could unite.

A bit of ash was a Strange Ancestor. Ten bits of ash combined, at the very least, could be called one of Di Gu Ge’s… toenails!

After the Ten Ancestors united, their battle prowess was immensely formidable. Even with Shi Jian and Shi Hao attacking with full force, they could not defeat the fused entity for a time.

Both sides fought fiercely. They quickly fell into a grinding war of attrition.

“Interesting…” Shi Jian’s pupils brightened slightly. At first, the combined power of the Ten Ancestors was still a bit obscure. But as the battle continued, the Ten Ancestors showed signs of merging into one, as if they were truly about to transform into a single Super Ancestor.

Was the Strange Highland exerting its power? Shi Jian dealt with the fused Ten Ancestors while casting his gaze towards the Highland.

His guess was correct. It was indeed the Strange Highland exerting its power, sensing a dire threat.

“The primordial matter is ashes, belonging to a living being who once resided on this Highland and died on this Highland; his power scattered everywhere, giving rise to the Highland, which can continuously revive those connected to him; you all absorb a portion of this primordial matter, are recognized as part of the Highland’s power, and thus can continuously revive…”

Such words appeared in the minds of the Ten Ancestors.

“Your powers are of the same Origin, also part of the Highland; now, I grant you greater power!”

In a trance, the Strange Ancestors seemed to have experienced a chilling revelation. Even as Strange Ancestors, they only now learned that the Strange Highland actually possessed its own consciousness.

Their power was all derived from a part of the Highland itself. Didn’t that mean the Highland consciousness’s status was even above theirs? Bad news, they really became the ultimate watchdogs.

However, the Strange Ancestors did not resist. Shi Hao and Shi Jian glared menacingly. They shared glory and loss with the Strange Highland, so they chose to accept the power.

The patterns between the Ten Ancestors became even more distinct. Under the interference of a mysterious power, they completely merged, truly becoming a single Super Ancestor.

“Merged!” Shi Hao showed a slight flicker of intense interest.

He attacked, standing alone in the Disaster Earth, fighting with broad, sweeping movements. His fist prints were invincible, charging towards this ultimate Super Ancestor. Unparalleled power erupted.

Shi Jian also attacked, his power reaching an extreme level of might.

“You are very strong, but what is the meaning? Having found this place, with the ultimate power of the Highland, you will always be hard to escape…” the Super Ancestor spoke, its voice a terrifying collective will.

“Everything is already destined!”

“In this battle, you have displayed the greatest power of your lives, like sparks burning, the Universe illuminating the darkness, but inevitable fall will ultimately be unavoidable…”

“The power on the Highland is of another Realm… How many great heroes, even if they leave indelible footprints in the long sky of history, infinitely brilliant, are ultimately but a fleeting moment!”

“You are much stronger than that woman of the Flower Pollen Path (Hua Fen Di), even drawing out the consciousness of the Highland, but, the rise and fall of all things, I remain evergreen, you will eventually have your curtain call, this is your destiny!”

The power that the Super Ancestor possessed at all times was terrifying. Such terrifying power gave them full confidence.

Shi Jian, however, scoffed disdainfully: “Ultimately, you are still in the Sacrificial Dao Realm, and have not truly broken through to above Sacrificial Dao!”

“Even if this Highland has consciousness, so what? It is not above Sacrificial Dao; just like you, it is merely a vessel for the power of the deceased!” Shi Hao also sneered along. “Slaves of power…”

When words failed, swords spoke. The two sides erupted into another fierce battle. This level of battle was too much for Ye Fan to participate in.

Only Shi Jian and Shi Hao remained, fighting the ultimate Super Ancestor. Everything around them was instantly reduced to desolation. The Sea of Chaos completely dried up.

Ye Fan’s face changed drastically, and he protected the people of the Heavens and Worlds as they rapidly retreated.

Three existences, surpassing ordinary Sacrificial Dao-Grade, fought. Blood splattered everywhere. This was the most intense battle from ancient times to the present.

The Super Ancestor’s wounds almost tore him apart. As the fight progressed, the Super Ancestor’s face had already turned pale, and he felt a profound sense of weakness.

Amidst the terrifying sword light, his body retreated, leaving a horrifying bloody gash on his neck.

The Super Ancestor’s mouth overflowed with fresh blood, his pupils contracted. “Your power, how can it be so terrifying…” He was incredulous.

The Strange Highland had revived, personally bestowing power upon them. Even so, they were still no match for these two? This was too astonishing.

Shi Jian and Shi Hao did not respond to the Super Ancestor’s despair. Instead, they attacked coldly. The Super Ancestor was once again severely wounded.

Finally, the ultimate Super Ancestor was defeated, his power shattered, his body split apart, and he was completely annihilated by the two supreme beings. The Ten Ancestors were all utterly destroyed.

The Strange Highland finally became enraged. An unimaginable great terror spread.

“You, are you sure you want to be my enemy?” A crude, ancient voice, the Highland’s consciousness, spread, appearing before everyone for the first time.

Shi Jian calmly looked at the Highland.

【Shi Jian: “Brothers, the Highland Dungeon has officially opened, let’s go!”】

He then summoned aid from the Chat Group.
