Chapter 420 Obtaining Dao Gu Heritage, Three Thousand Great Daos

One must know that in "Renegade Immortal," Dao Gu Yemo's strength was extremely formidable.

Yemo was from the Dao Gu lineage of the Ancient Race on the Immortal-Astral Continent, possessing a twenty-seven-star Dao Gu body, which meant a nine-star God, Demon, and Devil in one.

His combat power was almost on par with a Heavenly Venerate; although he wasn't officially listed as an Immortal Venerate, his cultivation was enough to make Immortal Venerates wary.

He once killed Li Guang, which showed he possessed strength beyond a Heavenly Venerate.

Yemo was ultimately severely wounded by the combined forces of Lian Dao Fei, the Immortal Emperor's younger brother, and Li Guang, among others. On the verge of death, he used his three thousand drops of blood to differentiate into the three major races: Ancient God, Ancient Demon, and Ancient Devil.

He hoped that someone would eventually gather and absorb all of his legacy to help him seize a body and be reborn.

If Yemo were still alive, the Cave World wouldn't be dominated by cultivators alone; his realm could contend with an Empty-Calamity senior.

Lin Che looked at Dao Gu Yemo before him, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Do you know me?"

Dao Gu Yemo smiled and said, "I don't know you, but I sense an extremely familiar aura from you. This aura belongs to the powerful individual I encountered back then. Speaking of this energy, only you could achieve it, right?"

"When I was still young, I met an extremely formidable expert. This person's cultivation was heaven-defying, capable of destroying heaven and earth. In fact, throughout the entire continent, those who could contend with him were few and far between."

"However, that person suddenly disappeared. Although I don't know where that person went, I can feel that his strength was extremely powerful, and he was known as the Dao Ancestor. You are very similar to that person. Although I don't know who you truly are, you are definitely connected to the Dao Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che's mind couldn't help but recall the Samsara Realm he encountered during his cultivation in the Immortal World. Within the Samsara Realm, there was indeed a man who claimed to be his previous life, known as the Dao Ancestor.

And the Dao Ancestor's realm had long since reached perfection, even surpassing the Heaven-Treading Realm.

One must know that the Heaven-Treading Realm was already the strongest in this world, but it was far from the end. This was because the Heaven-Treading Realm was merely the beginning of the Fourth Step; the true path still had the Fifth Step, the Sixth Step, all the way to the Tenth Step.

This was the ultimate realm of the entire cultivation system.

Cultivators who stood at this realm became the masters of the universe, their understanding and control of the laws of heaven and earth and the truths of the universe reaching a pinnacle. Their power transcended the scope of matter and energy, allowing them to manipulate and reshape the universe at will.

Back then, the Dao Ancestor had already reached the Sixth Step, which was the Realm of No Dao. At this point, cultivators had transcended the conventional understanding of Dao and were no longer restricted by any Dao. They were a unique existence in themselves, perhaps capable of creating and destroying universes in an invisible manner.

However, because he peered into the will of the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestor encountered the Nine Extinction Divine Lightning before he could even step into the Seventh Step.

That was a lightning tribulation that even a Ninth Step cultivator would surely die from, and the Dao Ancestor was one of those who died in the Nine Extinction Divine Lightning back then.

Dao Gu Yemo stood with one hand behind his back, stroking his chin, gazing at Lin Che before him, a hint of undetectable sorrow flashing in his eyes.

"Although my strength is gone, the energy I left behind is enough to form three thousand Great Daos. My divine body perished here, and within it lies a drop of essence blood that can help you break through to the strength of an eight-star Ancient God."

"It's also a fulfillment of my promise to the Dao Ancestor back then. He once said that if someone similar to him came here in the future, I should not obstruct them too much. Now that you have arrived, I know you are his reincarnation."

"This Dao Gu bloodline and legacy are now yours. As for whether you can leave this place safely, that depends on whether you have the ability. My Dao is not alone!"

"Senior Dao Ancestor, I have fulfilled the promise from back then. As for whether you can be reborn, that remains unknown…"

As Dao Gu Yemo's body gradually disappeared, the surrounding world trembled. Immediately, an Ancient God's corpse appeared, transforming into myriad creations that enveloped Lin Che's entire body… Meanwhile, in the external space, the Demon God Tuo Sen glared angrily with his bell-like eyes, furiously attacking the barrier before him.

"Damn you, Dao Gu! This legacy should belong to this God! Looking across the starry sky, besides this God, no other clansman is worthy! Yet you insist on creating these obstacles! Have you gone mad?!"

"Lin Che!!!"

No one understood Lin Che's Ancient God body better than Tuo Sen. The moment he saw this scene, he knew everything. He clearly understood that Lin Che was currently undergoing the legacy, the legacy that he believed should have belonged to him!

"You stole my memory legacy, and now you want to snatch the Dao Gu legacy!!!"

Tuo Sen's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have gone mad. The moment the eighteenth breath arrived, he disregarded his injuries and charged forward with a deafening roar.

The storm created by that Ancient God's roar swept through the palace, causing the physical bodies of cultivators to directly collapse, and the eight physical bodies turned into ashes. Even the eight giant dragons disintegrated!

Only half of the corpses of the Ancient Three Races remained, not collapsing under the storm of the roar.

Tuo Sen had gone mad!

As he had roared before, his memory legacy was stolen, and now the Dao Gu legacy was being snatched. How could he not go mad? He was even willing to risk severe injury to reclaim what he believed rightfully belonged to him!

The Nine Heavens Demon Venerate and others also stared at the barrier with ashen faces, their expressions quite grim.

"I didn't expect that brat to ultimately obtain the Dao Gu legacy. Damn him. Who exactly is he to be able to obtain the Dao Gu's legacy!"

"Go ahead and snatch it. Even if you snatch everything, you won't be able to leave this ancient tomb alive!"

Great Desolate Elder also stared in that direction, his expression extremely cold, wishing he could dismember Lin Che, tear him limb from limb, and grind his bones to dust!

…As the Ancient God's body gradually disappeared, Tuo Sen completely went mad, furiously attacking the barrier before him, only to prevent Lin Che from continuing to receive the Dao Gu's legacy.

However, how could Tuo Sen interfere with the Dao Gu legacy?

After the three thousand Great Daos completely dissipated, they transformed into a drop of essence blood that merged into Lin Che's glabella. As long as Lin Che refined it here, he could directly break through to the realm of an eight-star Ancient God.

Tuo Sen's physical body was Tu Si's body. Tu Si had already infinitely approached a nine-star royal Ancient God back then, reaching the peak of eight-star, and had even stagnated at this eight-star peak for far too long. In terms of physical body alone, it was already the limit of eight-star!

To impact nine-star, Tu Si had used the Ancient God clan's secret art, Ink Stream Divine Split, but this art failed, which is why the demonic thought Tuo Sen appeared!

The physical body Tuo Sen occupied had recovery power far exceeding Lin Che's. If he hadn't been too severely injured by that roar earlier, he would never have delayed his recovery until now.
