Chapter 593: Chapter 41: Supreme vs. Demon Ancestor, Lu Xuan Gifts a Dao Fruit

"You are quite the wordsmith, deftly avoiding the heart of the matter... If you have such courage, then why are you trembling so?"

As he spoke, he struck again, attacking the Ancient Bodhi Buddha and the Demon Ancestor at the same time. The three Supreme Beings clashed, throwing the Great Years into endless turmoil!

The Blind Daoist and the Lame Daoist also approached, watching like tigers stalking their prey. The Ancient Bodhi Buddha’s expression was grim, and the Demon Ancestor’s face contorted as he decisively played his trump card.

"Supreme! My brother has already admitted his mistake. It’s a trivial matter. Must you really shatter all pretenses?"

The truly "Infinite" Magical Power within the Demon Ancestor began to surge, piercing through the void and enveloping all of Chaos. It looked as if it could go toe-to-toe with the Supreme!

The Supreme simply smiled.

"Fu Xi possesses Transcendent Traits, does he not? I wonder what they are... I’m quite curious..."

As he spoke, the Lame Daoist also made his move. He bypassed the Ancient Bodhi Buddha and the Demon Ancestor, lunging to capture Fu Xi!

The latter had already calmed down, his expression shifting uncertainly. His True Spirit burst forth from his physical shell, vast and without limit!

The various Dao Fruits were stunned. Was this Fu Xi’s Transcendent Trait?

They stared intently. Fu Xi’s True Spirit was immeasurably vast, appearing to be his true form. He casually grasped All Dharma and Wonders, wielded the Great Dao, and actually managed to block the massive fist swung down by the Lame Daoist!

He projected his own Innate Spiritual Light across All Realms, illuminating the entire River of Time. One by one, the identities that the Supreme had just annihilated began to revive.

Then,

Fu Xi continued to shine his Innate Spiritual Light upon all paths. From the Three Thousand Great Dao, any path without a master came surging toward him, filling his True Spirit body.

With every portion it was filled, Fu Xi grew larger. Eventually, his True Spirit body grew to a near-infinite size, occupying more than half of Chaos!

The Supreme watched Fu Xi with great interest.

"So this is your Transcendent Trait? To command every Dao and every Dharma with your Innate Spiritual Light... Is this the method you used to replace Silver Horned?"

He paused, then rejected his own idea.

"No, if that were the case, you wouldn’t be able to achieve something on this scale..."

His train of thought was shattered as the Demon Ancestor attacked in a fury. The Supreme met his blows with nonchalant ease, causing the Great Years to churn and the torrent of Time to erupt in a violent flood!

The Blind Daoist was also locked in battle with the Ancient Bodhi Buddha.

Meanwhile, Fu Xi’s True Spirit—empowered by his Innate Spiritual Light gathering All Dharma and Wonders—fought the Lame Daoist with a grim expression. To everyone’s surprise, he could actually hold his ground for a short time!

The other Ancient Ones cast their gazes over, their expressions filled with shock.

A chill ran down the Buddha Mother’s spine as she murmured to herself,

’Fu Xi is actually this capable?’

Haotian’s brow was deeply furrowed.

’Is this his Transcendent Trait? Infinite Innate Spiritual Light, a natural mastery of every Dao, every Dharma, every Wonder... But if so, how can he return from death at no cost?’

He recalled his past battles with Fu Xi, which now seemed even more inconceivable.

He had originally thought Fu Xi’s Transcendent Trait was something akin to being Undying and Immortal, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case. Still, he couldn’t explain it...

After a long moment, Haotian exhaled slowly and murmured to himself,

’So, are all the inheritors of Wa Huang’s legacy finally unable to hold back? But for Fu Xi to be the Demon Ancestor’s elder brother... how is that possible?’

He mused, continuing his inner monologue.

’The Demon Ancestor is Wa Huang’s Qi, possessing Infinite Magical Power. Fu Xi is Wa Huang’s Merit, now manifesting as an infinite Innate Spiritual Light and True Spirit, encompassing all things...’

Shaking his head, Haotian calmed his mind and quietly gazed upon the Dao War raging above the flow of Years, the confusion in his eyes only deepening.

’Something isn’t right... Am I overlooking something?’

...

While a Dao War erupted in the Great Chaos, plunging the eras past and future into turmoil, another conflict was unfolding in the Profound Purity Realm.

COUGH, COUGH...

Lu Xiuyuan was utterly exhausted. He was being hunted, trapped with Lin Youwei in a desolate mountain range. In the sky above, nearly ten Immortals watched them like vultures!

"Hand over the Heaven-Opening Banner!" one of the Immortals who had rushed to the scene bellowed. "Or else, Fellow Daoist, you will die here!"

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless. He wanted to hand it over, but every time he tossed the Great Banner away, it would reappear in his hand the very next instant.

He squeezed Lin Youwei’s hand and gave a bitter smile.

"I’m sorry for dragging you into this..."

"How could you say you’ve dragged me into this?"

Lin Youwei took a deep breath, her expression firm, and said softly,

"Mr. Lu, can you activate this thing?"

"I’ve tried. I poured a ton of Magical Power into it, but it was like throwing a stone into the ocean. There was no response... I’m too weak. I can’t even manage a basic activation!"

Lin Youwei was dumbfounded. In her mind, even if an Immortal wasn’t among the absolute strongest, they couldn’t be far off. And yet, he had used all his strength and couldn’t even get a reaction out of this thing?

’This so-called Heaven-Opening Banner... just what level of Supreme Treasure is it?’

After a moment of silence, she looked up, gazing at the nine towering figures in the Celestial Vault, and sighed softly.

"It’s alright. As long as I was able to tell you how I feel, I have no regrets in this life."

The moment her words fell,

the nine Immortals attacked again without hesitation. They unleashed techniques of pure Slaughter, sending down rivers of Sword Qi, a world-ending grinding wheel, and more.

The entire mountain range shattered under the force of the Immortals’ murderous intent!

Lu Xiuyuan gave a bitter smile. He forced his exhausted body upright and barely managed to neutralize the Slaughter techniques one by one, an assault that was Covering the Sky and Sun.

At the same time, he desperately tried to activate the Heaven-Opening Banner, but still... he got nothing.

He sighed softly, realizing his journey on the path of the Dao would likely end here.

It was just a pity his past-life memories had awakened a little too late.

’I had hoped to find the way back to the Ancestor Star...’

’With my current Immortal Level cultivation, I should have been able to help Xiaoxuan. But now, it’s all come to nothing!’

In the sky, one of the Immortals played a trump card. He threw down a golden longsword, accompanied by visions of collapsing mountains and rivers and the wails of gods and ghosts. Amidst a rain of transcendent light, a vast, murderous intent and a razor-sharp sword gleam sealed off the entire area!
