Chapter 689: Old Ancestor’s Tribulation

The Evil Heavenly Emperor scanned all the immortals and gods in the cage and said in a deep voice, "Jade Bodhi has fallen. Quickly leave with me!"

With that, he turned and flew into the depths of darkness, with the immortals and gods following closely behind.

Han Tuo followed, his heart full of confusion.

Who exactly is it!

Again and again, saving them!

He thought of Han Jue, but he didn't dare to be completely sure.

Yi Tian, however, didn't think too much. He directly approached the Evil Heavenly Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, who eliminated Jade Bodhi this time? Your backer?"

The Evil Heavenly Emperor glanced at him sideways and snorted, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"Hehe."

Yi Tian smiled, looking as if he understood everything.

If the Evil Heavenly Emperor had pretended not to know, he would have hesitated, but seeing the Evil Heavenly Emperor so serious, he felt he had guessed correctly.

Only then would it make sense!

For the Heavenly Court to start from scratch in the Dark Forbidden Zone and grow so large, it would have been impossible with just the Evil Heavenly Emperor alone.

There must be an extremely powerful backer!

Han Tuo noticed the Evil Heavenly Emperor's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it wasn't his father; it should be someone else. Actually, every time they were captured, it was because the Evil Heavenly Emperor was also suppressed, and they were just caught along.

Besides not believing Han Jue was that strong, Han Tuo didn't want to trouble Han Jue even more.

He always believed he lived independently. If every rescue was because of Han Jue, he would truly die of shame.

Han Tuo focused his attention on himself. A part of his will had been erased by Jade Bodhi, but he couldn't recall what it was. He always felt as if he had forgotten something, missing something.

This feeling was very uncomfortable and frustrating.

Jade Bodhi was dead, so he could only attribute his unwillingness to himself.

Still too weak!

If he were as strong as his father, how could he always be so passive?

…A hundred years passed quickly.

Han Jue had newly acquired fifty Demon God Dharma Idols, bringing his total to three hundred ninety-nine Demon God Dharma Idols.

This was equivalent to mastering three hundred ninety-nine types of Great Dao Power.

Of course, it was still far from the true Great Dao.

Among the fifty new Demon God Dharma Idols, there were also some relatively powerful Demon God Powers that at least amazed Han Jue.

For example, the Replacement Demon God can choose any existence to replace itself with, no matter how far, as long as the Replacement Demon God remembers its Origin true body and Qi.

The Vanishing Demon God is even more overbearing. Han Jue strongly suspected that the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability was comprehended by the Dao Ancestor from the Vanishing Demon God. As its name suggests, this Demon God can make all existences vanish, unless it involves a power Origin that surpasses that Demon God, in which case it cannot be forcibly vanished.

However, the Dao Annihilation Divine Ability consumes nothing, while the Vanishing Demon God consumes its own magical power when exerting Great Dao Power. This means, the stronger the Vanishing Demon God, the wider the vanishing range. If it were the most powerful existence, it could make everything disappear, even Chaos!

After Han Jue raised his strength to its current limit, he began Simulation Trials to consolidate his combat abilities.

Although he liked to launch sneak attacks with the book of misfortune, he never neglected actual combat.

One day, he would have to personally Face enemy invasions.

At the same time.

Outside the Thirty-Third Heaven, in Qiankun Hall, the Saints gathered.

Pan Xin spoke, "The Chaos Heavenly Road has been opened. Even if I abandon the thresholds, no living beings are ascending the Heavenly Road. What should be done?"

Pan Xin was very depressed when he brought this up.

He originally thought that the opening of the Chaos Heavenly Road would make all beings revere him, but he didn't expect that no living beings cared about the Chaos Heavenly Road at all. He felt like punching cotton.

Disappointed!

Venerable Xuandu said, "Chaos represents the unknown, so it's normal for living beings not to want to go. The Disciples of the Sage Sects must take the lead."

Pan Xin looked at the other Saints.

Shi Duxiao snorted.

The other Saints all showed strange smiles.

Pan Xin was extremely depressed.

He remembered how arrogant he was when he first returned, and the Saints didn't dare to provoke him. But now… they actually dared to mock him!

Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate smiled, "I will arrange for the Disciples of the Wu Fa Sect to go to the Chaos Heavenly Road. The other Saints can observe for a while longer."

The Saints nodded.

Li Daokong glanced at Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate. This fellow was truly smooth. His words both gave Pan Xin Face and allowed the Saints to step down.

Tsk tsk.

Back then, Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate was a great enemy of the Heavenly Dao, truly lawless!

Look at him now.

Li Daokong couldn't help but admire Han Jue.

Han Jue could actually scare such an unruly powerhouse into a complete change of character.

Venerable Xuandu changed the topic, saying, "News recently came from Chaos: Old Ancestor was captured."

The Saints were moved.

Ancestor Xitian!

Since the Dao Ancestor disappeared, Ancestor Xitian took over the Dao Ancestor's duties, protecting the Heavenly Dao. The native Heavenly Dao Saints had all heard Ancestor Xitian preach the Dao and had special feelings for him.

The South Pole Heavenly Venerate frowned and asked, "Captured by whom?"

The other Saints also stared intently at Venerable Xuandu.

Venerable Xuandu replied, "A Chaos Demon God, an existence from the same period as the Pangu Great God, not comparable to a Great Dao Sage. Its name cannot be spoken. This is what my teacher told me."

Qiu Xilai asked, "Then what can we do?"

An existence beyond a Great Dao Sage was not something they, the Heavenly Dao Saints, could interfere with.

Venerable Xuandu said, "For a period of time, terrifying existences will descend to search for Ancestor Xitian's Disciples and capture them all. From now on, we must forget Ancestor Xitian, erase the legends about him in the world. As for those Cultivators who received favors from Old Ancestor, you must also warn them, or erase their memories."

The Saints looked at each other.

Shi Duxiao frowned and said, "This is not good. Today we abandon Old Ancestor; someday, if we encounter tribulation, we will also be abandoned!"

His words resonated with the Saints.

The reason the Saints could still coexist peacefully was because they had previously fought together against the seemingly unstoppable Guixu Divine Realm.

Now, Venerable Xuandu's arrangement was to revert them to their original state, making them no longer trust each other.

Venerable Xuandu said helplessly, "Times are different now. Our previous enemies could be dealt with by Fellow Daoist Han, but the existence Old Ancestor Faces is too strong, so strong that merely mentioning its name could lead to death and the dissipation of the Dao. If you defy such an existence, not only will we Saints be affected, but also the entire Heavenly Dao."

"Sacrificing Old Ancestor to protect the Heavenly Dao, this is also Old Ancestor's idea."

Li Daokong frowned and asked, "Is there really such an existence? How did Old Ancestor offend him? Because of the Heavenly Dao? Then why didn't the other party directly destroy the Heavenly Dao?"

Venerable Xuandu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My teacher said that existence questioned Old Ancestor about something, but Old Ancestor refused to be frank, thus offending that existence. In a fit of rage, that existence wants to erase all Karma related to Old Ancestor, making Old Ancestor cease to exist."

The Saints were all frightened, including Pan Xin.

Pan Xin understood that feeling too well.

When he was weak, Ascending God was his nightmare.

Watching the Saints fall silent, Pan Xin couldn't help but mock himself.

What's the use of becoming a Saint?

It's just exchanging one cage for a bigger one.
