Chapter 768 Ancient Proverbs of Martial Arts
The moment Yue Hanzhang's soft murmur fell, his figure appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm.

Far away.

On the ancient battlefield, a blazing sun of true yang energy rose up.

The surging demonic aura and oppressive power reverberated in all directions.

The moment the aura of the Ancestral Saint King erupted, it shook the Sumeru power in the vicinity of the ancient battlefield.

In an instant, the Sumeru power within a large area of ​​the entire ancient battlefield was in a low-frequency tremor, on the verge of erupting into a Sumeru storm.

This chaotic power of Mount Sumeru made it impossible for all the ancestral kings included in this section to cross it using the method of Mount Sumeru teleportation.

even.

This also ensured that no ancestral kings in the distant sky who wanted to rush to the rescue could forcibly open the Sumeru Passage to the other side.

In an instant, I drew a circle around myself and imprisoned myself!

then.

Within that great, radiant sun, imbued with demonic light, the Crane King's form was revealed.

Reflected in this world is also the heartbeat of the creature as it gazes at the merchant.

"If this were a normal battle between two races, no matter how many ordinary Saint Kings you kill, I wouldn't have any reason to intervene."

"But what can we do when this is a bloody war between two races with no rules to follow?"

"Sometimes, when the killing goes too far, we have no choice but to do it."

"You are amazing, just like all the geniuses and prodigies I have witnessed over the years. But while prodigies' talents guide their combat power through the Outer Realm, we, the Holy Kings of our ancestral lineage, are not among them!"

"You're putting people in a difficult position too."

"Yue... King Lingye is vindictive and vengeful. Unless absolutely necessary, I do not wish to provoke a being capable of suppressing a Saint King of the Ancestral Lineage."

"After much deliberation, out of respect for King Lingye, I will spare your lives—"

"Within three breaths, use the King's Decree to open the passage to your own Dao Realm and leave the ancient battlefield!"

“All cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage can leave using this method!”

"In three breaths, don't blame me for killing you!"

"Furthermore, if you are still worried, we acknowledge the outcome of the battle when our Holy Clan's forces penetrated into your clan's star domain territory."

"If the Holy Race's military advances again today, I will not go to the Second Holy Realm of the North Sea Heavenly Capital, nor to the Jinzhou Star Region!"

"You only have three breaths left to live, don't be so stubborn!"

"three!"

"two!"

"Um?--"

Crane King's ancestral Saint King-level surging pressure swept towards all the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage present, its momentum as terrifying as Mount Tai pressing down.

However, at this moment, none of the cultivators from the Beihai Tiandu lineage present took out their own King's Decree.

Yes, it does seem like a way out.

However, for the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage, it was a path they absolutely did not want to take.

Fu Yingchuan had already demonstrated the method of using the King's Decree to escape once before, in front of Yue Hanzhang.

Later, when the previous Qianyan King was chasing Yue Hanzhang, he also used a similar method to cross the river.

However, the cost of using such techniques is also quite obvious.

Fu Yingchuan, who was once a half-step king, almost collapsed in an instant, his physical and spiritual outline in the Dao Jing World weakened to the point of collapse, and he almost fell below the level of a half-step king.

Furthermore, Qianyan Wang's crossing destroyed the Dao Realm of one of his lineage's Outer Realm cultivators.

The execution of this technique comes at the cost of burning or igniting at least a portion of the Daoist world's origin. The more profound one's physical and spiritual foundation and Daoist cultivation, the more intensely the Daoist world's origin is burned.

In the worst-case scenario, the entire Daoist world of the first heaven might be completely destroyed and collapsed as a result!
This doesn't just mean withdrawing from the scene; it means, openly or covertly, directly or indirectly, that we must "take responsibility" for the turmoil that will ensue if the demon race's forces were to invade human territory again after our withdrawal.

This also means that after they won that bloody battle that wiped out the entire Beihai Tiandu lineage, the Tongtai state of mind they had cultivated was completely gone.

The resulting rapid and vigorous improvement in cultivation must come to an abrupt halt at this moment.

They might even have to endure a long period of recuperation where their cultivation level regresses.

We cannot back down now!

Often, what seems like a smooth and easy path turns out to be a series of unexpected steps backward. When you try to move forward again, you'll find that the place you once stood on is now full of thorns and thorns.

Only then will we realize, belatedly, how incredibly heavy that seemingly insignificant step back actually was.

The cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage persevered for two breaths in this mental purgatory of life and death.

then.

Right behind the merchant, three complete divine curtains shone brightly, while a slightly dimmer mist curtain was also trembling violently.

The curtain of smoke and mist revealed a corner of the world of form and spirit. In the sea of ​​Daoist flames, a whole area of ​​refined seal patterns was trembling violently, trying to disintegrate and turn into firewood to ignite.

Then, at the cost of burning a section of scripture essence, he boosted his combat power from the first level of the Outer Realm to the level of the Transcendent Realm.

She would rather regress in her cultivation level than regress even half a step in her state of mind!

But before the refined Dao seals in the Daoist sea of ​​flames in the fourth level of her outer realm could truly disintegrate.

Click——click——click——

Along with the Crane King's inner voice uttering a sound of surprise and uncertainty, a subtle, crisp, fragmented sound rang out behind the cultivators.

Accompanied by these subtle sounds, the low-frequency turbulence of the Sumeru power emanating from the Crane King's own aura was being swept away by an even more powerful and incomparable kingly Dao rhythm, instantly and forcibly smoothing out all the rhythm!
Such a scene has never been seen before.

Throughout history, even the ancestral holy kings have been accustomed to using the "anti-flight technique," but at this moment, it was forcibly broken!
The power of Sumeru was reconstructed in an orderly manner.

The radiance of the Dao Mother Talisman Array spread out, then wrapped with the power of Sumeru, forming a stable Sumeru passage that, if not for the fact that everyone was watching at this moment, would have had almost no fluctuations in energy.

then.

Amidst the Crane King's astonished gaze, Yue Hanzhang's figure emerged from within.

He forcibly crossed into the ancient battlefield even though the Ancestral Saint King had already "cleared the field"!

Then, the next moment, Yue Hanzhang raised his hand without any hint of sarcasm.

There was no divine curtain behind him to reflect the light, but the surging power of thunder and flames was already surging and circulating within his body and spirit, following the duality of his internal organs and bones.

At the same time, the Dao Mother Talisman Array behind Yue Hanzhang, which had just been supporting the power of Sumeru, suddenly reversed course and began to devour the power of Sumeru. In an instant, countless tiny Sumeru cracks appeared in various corners of a large star field.

The immense power of heaven and earth was instantly swallowed up by the Dao Mother Talisman Array.

then.

The entire Dao Mother Talisman Array, carrying this surging power, instantly enveloped Yue Hanzhang's figure.

It resembled a gleaming suit of armor, yet also a more ethereal and elusive veil.

Then, Yue Hanzhang unleashed a powerful punch, containing both internal and external elements, and possessing the essence of form, spirit, and Daoist principles, as well as the power of heaven and earth.

The surge of Sumeru power followed closely behind, arriving first even though it was delayed, and opened a Sumeru passage just before Yue Hanzhang's fist wind was unleashed.

boom--

The fierce fist wind, the destructive power of heaven and earth formed by the clash of thunder and fire, ruthlessly smashed down on the true yang sun formed by the demonic radiance behind the Crane King.

The most dazzling and spectacular fireworks burst forth on the ancient battlefield.

Amidst the colorful storm, the Crane King retreated a considerable distance, even crashing through several desolate stars in the ancient battlefield star belt before finally managing to stop in a disheveled state.

Then, Yue Hanzhang's calm, even somewhat scholarly, and refined voice rang out clearly.

"Did the demon race send you here to die today? All these things you did were just to lure me out and fight you?"

Faced with Yue Hanzhang's mocking question, amidst the swirling dust storm, the disheveled Crane King remained silent.

Yue Hanzhang then pressed on with further questions.

"Or perhaps you didn't expect Yue to arrive so quickly and have a go at you?"

Silence, silence is the ancient battlefield at this moment.

"But you've come at a lucky time."

“Yue has not been very murderous lately, and is indulging in worldly affairs, cultivating his character.”

"Furthermore, judging from your words and actions just now, you did give my lineage of cultivators a way to survive, instead of immediately shouting for battle. Therefore, this way of survival is partly given by me, and partly given to you by yourself."

"However, this is a one-time thing, there will be no next time."

Just as he was saying that.

As Yue Hanzhang's figure appeared.

In an instant, the entire ancient battlefield of the bloody battle seemed to be frozen in time.

Meanwhile, deep within the rear of the demon race's front, the Ancestral Saint Kings, led by the Ape King, were also frantically crossing over.

Crane King shattered the Sumeru power of a large star field, but Yue Hanzhang, with the Daoist charm of the "Step to Emptiness True Scripture," only managed to clear the small area where he had opened the Sumeru passage.

At this moment, the Ancestral Lineage Saint King was still being restrained by the anti-air technique just used by the Crane King.

It was precisely this delay that led to the problem.

This allowed Yue Hanzhang to calmly survey the ancestral lineages of the Holy Kings.

"Among the human race, there is an ancient saying in martial arts, which roughly means that with one hand raised, one can remove the button from your collar and pierce your throat!"

"To demonstrate the power of deterrence."

"Today, I, Yue, also have something similar to say. I have made further progress in my cultivation of the Dao of Talismans and Arrays, and have achieved even greater results—"

"Now that I can forcibly traverse this restricted airspace, do you think the Myriad Saints Celestial Array can still trap me today?"

“If there’s a next time, you’ll be the first day of the month, and I, Yue, will be the fifteenth.”

"I'll charge into the demon realm again and show you!"

"This is not a threat, this is a notification!"

As he finished speaking, he saw the Ancestral Saint King struggling to cross the river, but he did not take another step. Instead, he simply surrounded the disheveled Crane King, who had just caught his breath.

Yue Hanzhang then calmly turned around and looked in the direction of the Dao Alliance.

"The Jiang family, the Sang family, the Shi family, the butler..."

"Or to put it more bluntly, the moderate families, the neutral families, and the conservative, marginal families."

Are you still standing there watching the show?

"Quickly order all the ancestors and kings of the clan to come to the ancient battlefield to participate in the battle!"

"Do you really think that just by standing on dry land, you can avoid getting burned?"
