Chapter 2517

Once again, the Black Blood Sword Saint was shattered to pieces. The entire battle was one-sided; the Black Blood Sword Saint was no match for the Heavenly Fox Ancestor.

"Completely suppressed, the Ancestor is so strong!"

The Ancestral Spirit watched as the Heavenly Fox Ancestor suppressed the Black Blood Sword Saint.

Admiration shone in its eyes. Su Li and the others were equally ecstatic; this was the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, after all.

A truly legendary existence. To be able to witness its battle with one's own eyes—there were no regrets in this life.

Even though what they were seeing now was merely a method left behind by the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, it was still the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. Lin Moyu watched intently.

He felt a tremor in his heart. The method left behind by the Heavenly Fox Ancestor should still be at the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

Perhaps at the peak of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, but it certainly had not broken through it. However…

Its understanding of the Great Dao was too profound. It utilized the Great Dao of Luck, shifting between the virtual and the real.

Furthermore, it predicted the opponent's movements, so it suppressed the opponent with every step.

Lin Moyu understood the Great Dao of Luck, so he saw it more clearly and understood the principles behind it.

The Great Dao of Luck, the shifting of virtual and real, predicting the future—this was the root of why the Heavenly Fox Ancestor could suppress the opponent.

While watching the battle, Lin Moyu was also learning. Regardless of what realm the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's method was at…

The combat experience was genuine. Lin Moyu could learn a lot from it. One could tell from the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's fighting style.

It was very skilled at combat; its strikes were fast, precise, and ruthless, giving the opponent absolutely no chance to counterattack.

Once it gained the upper hand, it would suppress them to death. Compared to the current Celestial Fox Clan…

The two sides were simply not on the same level of combat power. The current Celestial Fox Clan was universally acknowledged as being poor at fighting.

But the Heavenly Fox Ancestor was not like that. "I really wonder what you have lost!"

It was no wonder; they possessed the bloodline but could not comprehend the Great Dao of Luck. Combat was the most important ability for survival in this world.

"You have taken the wrong path." Lin Moyu sighed inwardly. Through generations of inheritance…

The Celestial Fox Clan was becoming weak because they had taken the wrong path and abandoned combat.

They only pursued luck. While this made the Celestial Fox Clan's luck prosperous and produced many experts…

Such experts had lost the keen edge of a true powerhouse, which was why the Celestial Fox Clan lacked combat strength.

Their Dao Hearts were also fragile. Only a few would seek out the Fox-Tail Sword to temper their Dao Hearts. Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the Ancestral Spirit and the three, including Su Li.

They were watching the battle between the Heavenly Fox Ancestor and the Black Blood Sword Saint and did not notice Lin Moyu's actions. "I hope you can understand."

Lin Moyu thought to himself. He couldn't tell Clan Leader Su Mou that their race had taken the wrong path.

He was not the Demon Emperor, nor was he the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. What right did an outsider have to say such things?

Moreover, letting go of the desire to help others and respecting their fate had always been Lin Moyu's principle.

If he hadn't seen the black blood, Lin Moyu wouldn't have come. The black blood was shattered time and time again.

Its power grew weaker and weaker, and the black blood power within the origin spirit vein was mostly dispersed. The black blood could no longer receive sufficient replenishment.

In the struggle for the origin spirit vein, the Black Blood World was also at a disadvantage. The origin spirit vein originally belonged to the Heavenly Fox Ancestor.

As an intruder, the Black Blood World naturally could not snatch it from the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. The Black Blood Sword Saint grew weaker and weaker.

It became increasingly vulnerable. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be over.

"But why do I have a feeling that something unexpected is about to happen!"

Suddenly.

A beam of black light shot from the depths of Qingqiu directly at the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor seemed to have anticipated this, striking out with its claw in advance.

It shattered the black light, but because of this, its fierce assault on the Black Blood Sword Saint faltered for a moment.

The Black Blood Sword Saint roared, blood-red light exploding from its entire body. A surge of powerful energy forced the Heavenly Fox Ancestor back.

It seized the opportunity to turn into a streak of blood and flew toward the depths of Qingqiu. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor did not pursue.

It merely watched the depths of Qingqiu with cold eyes. The sudden turn of events left the Ancestral Spirit and the others feeling astonished.

Lin Moyu smiled. Sure enough, something unexpected had happened. His spiritual sense had once again played its part.

Indeed, something had happened. The mist continued to surge, reclaiming more territory, taking back all the land that had previously been seized by the Black Blood Sword Saint.

The black blood power on the origin spirit vein was retreating, and the origin spirit vein was returning to its original state.

The entire Qingqiu was recovering. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor stared into the depths of Qingqiu, its large eyes incredibly sharp.

From the depths of Qingqiu, another equally massive celestial fox flew out. Its entire body was pitch black.

It had eight tails on its back, slowly swaying in the air. A black celestial fox.

It exuded power even greater than the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, seemingly having broken through the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. The Black Blood Sword Saint stood on top of its head.

Pointing its sword at the Heavenly Fox Ancestor!

Chapter 3187: A Bushel of Rice Breeds Gratitude, A Peck Breeds Enmity

Su Pu. Once a servant of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, after the Heavenly Fox Ancestor attained the Dao, he became the first Clan Leader of the Celestial Fox Clan.

From this, it was evident that Su Pu was highly trusted by the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. However, later on…

In order to reach the Great Dao Realm, he went to many places and did many things.

No one knew exactly what he did or where he went.

In the end, he became a Pseudo-Great Dao Realm expert, returned heavily injured, and went to the depths of the ancestral land to sleep.

Because of his special status, even the Ancestral Spirit had no right to discipline him.

Unexpectedly, he brought back the black blood, planting the roots for today's disaster.

Now, Su Pu had become a person of the Black Blood World, standing in opposition to the Heavenly Fox Ancestor.

Of course, the Heavenly Fox Ancestor before them was not the real Heavenly Fox Ancestor, but merely an avatar left behind by it.

It contained a sliver of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's will. Regardless, it was still something left behind by the Heavenly Fox Ancestor.

As Su Pu, he should have shown it respect, but Su Pu was not like that.

Lin Moyu saw that Su Pu's eyes were filled with killing intent when looking at the Heavenly Fox Ancestor.

It was as if he were looking at an enemy. If he had been corrupted by the Black Blood World and had completely lost his sense of self…

Then it would be understandable. Yet, Lin Moyu saw…

Sanity in his eyes. Su Pu still retained his reason, yet he harbored such hatred for his former master.

This was very intriguing. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor watched Su Pu without saying a word. Clearly, this avatar from the Heavenly Fox Ancestor…

Had recognized Su Pu. The Black Blood Sword Saint looked at the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, its voice cold.

"Your true form was slain back then. This avatar left behind is the last trace of you in this world."

"Pity, after today, even this trace will be erased."

Time. The Black Blood Sword Saint did not act immediately. Lin Moyu could tell.

It was recovering; speaking was just to stall for time. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor remained silent.

It looked at Su Pu, seemingly asking why. As for the Black Blood Sword Saint…

It clearly didn't care. The Ancestral Spirit flew to the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's side and shouted at Su Pu.

"Su Pu, you are the Ancestor's servant! How dare you try to attack the Ancestor!"

"Do you know what crime you are committing?"

Su Li and the others also came to the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's side, staring fixedly at Su Pu.

Between the first Clan Leader and the Ancestor, they decisively chose to stand on the side of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor. Clan leaders were transient…

The Ancestor was eternal. As long as one wasn't a fool, they knew how to choose. Su Pu looked at the Ancestral Spirit.

His hateful eyes were filled with disdain. "What are you? A mere lackey artifact spirit."

"You're nothing! How dare you speak to me like that? Back then, when he attained the Great Dao…"

"He became immortal. He clearly had the ability to help me attain the Dao at the time, but he refused."

"He said it was to let me be the Clan Leader, but really, he just wanted to use me to manage his forces."

"To gather luck. I traveled across the boundary seas and worlds, even risking my life to search beyond the heavens."

"Finally, I found the opportunity to attain the Great Dao, even though I was heavily injured."

"But as long as the Great Dao is attained, I will be immortal. No matter how heavy the injury, I can recover."

"Only after I attained the Great Dao Realm did I realize why he wouldn't help me: he didn't want me to share his luck."

"I once swore that once I attained the Dao, the Celestial Fox Clan…"

"Would be completely exterminated. He created the Qingqiu ancestral land and appointed you as the artifact spirit."

"Do you think he wanted to nurture the Celestial Fox clansmen?"

"You know nothing!"

"He had long anticipated that he would face this calamity."

"He left himself a way out. This Qingqiu ancestral land is the source of his future resurrection. Want to resurrect?"

"Not a chance! I will exterminate the clan, destroy the sect, and cut off his luck."

"Leaving him with no possibility of resurrection." Su Pu spoke a mouthful, his voice filled with deep hatred.

This hatred had accumulated for countless years, turning into an obsession that had occupied his soul.

Deep-rooted and unchangeable. The power of the Black Blood World…

Only needed to guide his hatred a little; there was no need for corruption.

Because his heart had long been corrupted. Lin Moyu saw it all.

He had analyzed the whole situation. Back then, after the Heavenly Fox Ancestor attained the Dao, it didn't help Su Pu attain the Dao.

Instead, it left him on the Origin Continent to manage the Celestial Fox Clan. In fact, whether one could attain the Great Dao depended on opportunity.

And it also depended on aptitude. Su Pu clearly lacked the aptitude, but it wasn't impossible.

If he had just developed the Celestial Fox Clan well and gathered the luck of the entire clan, he could have attempted it.

But he believed that the Heavenly Fox Ancestor never wanted to help him attain the Dao and was just using him.

Then he went to find the path to the Great Dao himself. During the search, his hatred for the Heavenly Fox Ancestor continued to accumulate and deepen.

Eventually, he encountered the remnants of the Black Blood World. It was likely the Black Blood World that helped him attain the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm, but at a significant cost.

So he returned to recover, while also letting the black blood corrupt the ancestral land. From the moment he encountered the black blood…

His hatred for the Heavenly Fox Ancestor and the Celestial Fox Clan could no longer be eradicated. Having guessed most of it…

Lin Moyu couldn't help but sneer. A real-life case of 'A bushel of rice breeds gratitude, a peck breeds enmity'. Giving too much is not a kindness.

It becomes a habit; when you stop giving, it becomes enmity. How ridiculous!

The Celestial Fox Clan's intelligence was used in the wrong place, resulting in this miserable state. This Dao Heart…

It is truly weak!

Su Pu looked at Lin Moyu with disdain.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice. A mere ant dares to speak wildly!"

Lin Moyu sighed and shook his head. "Who is an ant, and who is a frog in a well?"

"You will know soon enough." The Ancestral Spirit wanted to speak, but the Heavenly Fox Ancestor's avatar turned to glance at it.

It stopped the Ancestral Spirit with its gaze. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor looked at Su Pu and slowly spat out one word.

"Fight!"

There was no need for more nonsense. Matters had reached this point.

It was useless to say anything else. Only battle remained!
