The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 192 The Ten Mysterious Ancestors Arrive
However, the strange ancestor who was flying backwards did not show much joy on his face. Instead, he looked at Xu He with a cold expression.

"Is that all you know how to do?" The eerie progenitor sneered, silently restoring his eagle claws.

At that moment, flames reignited around it, and in a short while, it turned into dust again.

At the same time, another figure stepped out from the void, looking radiant and showing no fear whatsoever.

"No matter what method it is, any method that can kill you is a good method," Xu He said calmly.

In the ancestral land of the plateau, several mysterious ancestors fell silent at this moment.

Just now, none of them recognized that it was Xu He's clone.

This proves that Xu He's strength may not be as far away from their imagination.

Looking at Xu He on the battlefield now, his aura is still extremely oppressive, making it impossible to tell if he is real or not.

The ancestor lowered his eyes, vaguely foreseeing the day when this person would wreak havoc on the plateau.

"I'll go and kill him ahead of time." A strange progenitor stood up, silently tore open space, and leaned half of his body out.

Another eerie progenitor also spoke at this moment:
"I'm going too. I can't just sit here and wait to die."

As he spoke, he set off as well.

But at that very moment, within the ancestral land, a rather elderly and eerie ancestor silently spoke:
"return."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two strange progenitors who were about to leave paused.

“This may not be its clone; going there would be futile,” the elderly, eerie progenitor said slowly.

Upon hearing this, a strange progenitor said with displeasure:

"Are we just going to let him wear us down little by little, to test our strength? He'll become a menace sooner or later!"

The other strange progenitors remained silent, agreeing with his statement.

But the elderly, eerie progenitor remained unhurried:
"Now, that person's true form may no longer be in this space-time, so going there would be futile."

Then he changed the subject:
"A battle is inevitable in the future. A man like him will not be content to be on equal footing with us. Sooner or later he will cause a great disturbance in our ancestral land. The ten of us will stay here and no one can turn our world upside down."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two eerie progenitors, whose bodies were half-outstretched, calmed down considerably and silently retreated.

"Now let's see what methods and techniques this person has, so we can make adequate preparations for the future," said the elder, the eerie progenitor.

Several strange progenitors nodded at this moment. Although the ten of them would not perish within the plateau, knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory in every battle, and they did not want to be injured.

Immediately, the several mysterious progenitors began to discuss and study the matter.

Therefore, the several strange progenitors each expressed their own opinions.

“That person’s physical body is somewhat strange, even stronger than that of an Immortal Emperor of the same realm, making one wonder if he is even human,” a strange ancestor said worriedly.

Another eerie progenitor spoke up at this moment: "His offensive methods are very simple; he only knows how to hit people with his fists, but his killing power is not bad."

Although he was just complaining, he genuinely acknowledged the power of the punches.

“Besides that, he also has a method to condense the power of laws, but… this power of laws doesn’t seem to belong to any era. It’s as if it appeared out of thin air. I think perhaps he has forged a new path of evolution on his own.” A strange ancestor with keen observation spoke after deep thought.

“Indeed, I also suspect that he was able to sever the connection between the beings at the end of the road and the ancestral land because of this brand-new Great Dao Law.” Xu He’s methods were too rare; this was the first time they had ever seen such a thing. Even the mysterious woman from the past had never been able to do such a thing.

"..."

The various bizarre progenitors expressed their opinions, and the eldest of them, observing this scene, turned to one of the silent progenitors and asked:
"Fifth brother, why are you silent?"

The eerie progenitor, now called the Fifth Elder, finally looked up at the older progenitor and asked:

"Everyone has already analyzed him thoroughly, so I have nothing to say."

"But... I'd like to ask, when did you wake up?"

Faced with the questioning, the elder, eerie progenitor, didn't say much, but simply stated:

"It seems you've guessed something. That's right, I woke up a long time ago."

The eerie progenitor, known as the Fifth Elder, nodded and said:

“After you woke up, I also woke up and saw the person you summoned.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the other strange ancestors were all stunned. They had no idea that these two had actually woken up in the middle of the journey and even summoned people.

Immediately, a strong curiosity drove the several strange progenitors to want to know more about the inside story.

"It seems your divine skills have reached a high level; even this couldn't hide it from you," the older, eerie ancestor said to the fifth brother.

Faced with the curiosity of these strange progenitors, he no longer concealed anything:

"After I woke up, I foresaw this scene, and then followed that person's causal thread to find many people."

After he finished speaking, the fifth, the eerie progenitor, continued:
"Those two, one is called the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, and the other is called the Emperor Venerable, right?"

The older, eerie progenitor nodded:

"Fifth brother, you've been overly cautious throughout the ages... Indeed, now both of them have become the last living beings on the road of our clan."

At this moment, he was also a little curious as to why the fifth brother knew so much detail.

The fifth, the eerie progenitor, said with a solemn expression: "So you learned a lot about this person from them, but the question is, are they really trustworthy?"

A tense atmosphere began to spread to the surrounding area.

Even the elderly, eerie progenitor turned indifferent at this moment.

Are you doubting them, or are you doubting me?

As soon as the words were spoken, the tension escalated into a sharp confrontation.

This is the first time in history that such a thing has ever happened.

"No." Finally, the eerie progenitor known as the Fifth Elder spoke.

Seeing the fifth brother lower his head, the other strange ancestors also dispelled their concerns and continued to watch the battle.

Seeing this, the older, eerie progenitor nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, on that battlefield, Xu He's battle with the eerie progenitor had shattered this entire realm.

The imperial light that shines through the ages and into the future, and the fierce battle against the darkness that shrouds all things.

Absolute light and absolute darkness clashed head-on, and every collision of their auras caused a massive earthquake. All living beings in the heavens, whether or not they belonged to the strange race, paled at this moment.

In such a battle, they would die the moment they were touched!

No one was spared.

At this moment, Xu He unleashed his Emperor Fist once again, without any hesitation. This world had long been shrouded by the strange race, and he would not hold back in his destruction.

If you don't like this world, then destroy it with your own hands!

Xu He's imperial light shone even brighter, and gradually, the battle situation that had previously put him at a disadvantage began to turn around, even causing the strange ancestor opposite him to change his expression.

This person seems to have gotten stronger again?

He had even reached the same level of strength as himself? The Strange Ancestor frowned. He was certain that Xu He had not truly sacrificed his own Dao and was still capable of killing all living beings. But now, Xu He's killing power was in no way inferior to his own.

He has the fighting power of a sacrificial priest even though he hasn't reached the sacrificial altar?

What kind of monster is this?

At this moment, the strange progenitor found it hard to believe, still unwilling to admit that his talent might already be inferior to Xu He's.

"I should have killed you long ago, but now you've managed to reach the same strength as me by sheer luck." The eerie progenitor sneered, extremely unwilling.

Now, his companions are certainly watching. Facing a junior, he not only failed to defeat him quickly, but even showed a situation of being evenly matched.

Shame on you!
Moreover, after such a long time, the companions on the ancestral land still showed no intention of providing any support.

The meaning is already quite clear.

Let him handle this himself.

If the problem cannot be solved, fighting with them to find out their trump cards is worthwhile, as it paves the way for them.

Having figured this out, the eerie progenitor's expression grew even more grim. He charged towards Xu He, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce.

"It's all because of you! Die!"

With the roar of the eerie progenitor, a dark celestial light, more powerful than ever before, shot towards Xu He.

Wherever the dark divine light passed, the surrounding world was struck as if by an impact, quickly turning into dust and collapsing, and then hurtling towards Xu He.

Despite such a powerful attack, Xu He on the opposite side did not dodge at all, and even unleashed a golden beam of immortal light to counter it.

In a short period of time, they actually presented a situation of equal strength.

With a deafening explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, a dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the entire heavens.

A massive shockwave rippled outwards, affecting every place. The strange ancestor was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away, his body transforming into a streak of light that shattered countless stars.

During this time, his primordial essence was spilled, but before it could pollute any area, it was burned away by the dazzling light.

In contrast, Xu He, although also affected by the explosion, recovered much better, and didn't even bleed.

The eerie progenitor steadied himself, staring at the scene in disbelief, his eyes filled with horror.

For some reason, he felt that Xu He's strength was still increasing.

From initially being inferior to oneself, to being on par with oneself, to now, there is a subtle sense that one has even surpassed oneself.

And all of this happened in a very short period of time.

"Impossible, impossible!" the eerie progenitor roared. "You managed to break through in this battle by sheer luck?"

There is only one possibility right now: the Ominous Ancestor is unwilling to believe that Xu He was just pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"There's no such thing as luck in this world." Xu He adjusted his breathing, calming his internal organs. "Being able to do this only means I'm stronger than you!"

He was not an arrogant person, but he had his own self-confidence and was full of spirit. He was not afraid even when facing the strange progenitor.

At that moment, he once again condensed the Great Dao Sword in his hand, transforming it into a beam of light that reached the heavens, and slashed towards the eerie ancestor.

Wherever the sword light passed, only an incomparably dazzling and splendid radiance could be seen, nothing else.

In the darkness, only this one ray of light pierced through everything.

The eerie progenitor sneered. How could he willingly be insulted by a junior in front of others?

Immediately, he channeled his dark essence blood, bringing his aura to its peak.

Several strange ancestors far away in the ancestral land frowned slightly, as they discerned the moves being used in the battle.

It is close to exhausting one's own potential.

Although they could be reborn indefinitely in their ancestral land, each of them yearned for an even more powerful realm.

At this point, having exhausted its own potential, even if the plateau were to revive it, it would not be able to fully recover.

"It seems to be a life-or-death battle. It's a pity that the person didn't come here in his true form, otherwise I would definitely have made a move." The older, eerie ancestor murmured, slightly easing the current atmosphere.

He also took the opportunity to reiterate the reason why he was not taking action.

The other strange progenitors remained silent upon hearing this.

Perhaps in the near future, that person will indeed kill someone on the plateau.

However, with ten of them here, there was nothing to fear.

Immediately, they turned their attention back to the battlefield.

Xu He, holding the Nine-Colored Cauldron in one hand and the Great Dao Sword in the other, looked just like a great emperor descending to earth to vanquish demons.

Xu He raised his hand, and the nine-colored cauldron split into nine, heading in nine different directions, carving out a separate space above the heavens.

This space enveloped Xu He and the eerie progenitor.

At the beginning of the construction of the great formation, the strange ancestor was disdainful.

But when the formation was truly completed and put into operation, a profound meaning spread out at that moment, and the sound of the Great Dao of the Heavens was revealed, resounding throughout the heavens.

Beneath the rumbling Daoist aura, the eerie progenitor discovered that his power was at risk of being drained away.

Meanwhile, in that ancestral land on the plateau, the other ancestors frowned and began to move.

Because they felt that the connection between the strange progenitor and the ancestral land was being weakened without limit at this moment.

Risk, absolute risk!

They believed that the power of their ancestral land could not be suppressed by a secret artifact or a formation.

However, none of them dared to gamble.

If, by some whim, there were a chance that they could give all their level-one combat power to Yongji, then everyone would truly be in danger.

At that moment, the few figures who remained here began to move.

Initially, they were reluctant to provide support, partly because they were unsure if Xu He was an avatar, and partly because he could be resurrected indefinitely even after death.

But now they couldn't care less about any of that. They couldn't accept the eternal silence of an ancestor, nor did they want to see anyone actually able to threaten their lives.

On the battlefield, Xu He had already sensed the nine extremely oppressive auras.

My heart sank immediately.

He knew his actions would alert the progenitors, but faced with ten progenitors coming out together to overwhelm him, he still felt like cursing.

But he knew he didn't have much time to hesitate, so he immediately activated the formation with all his might, using his own blood of the Great Dao as fuel to make it run rapidly.

As the formation activated, a new power of law pressed down on the eerie ancestor, truly drawing away his dark essence.

But just then, the nine figures finally arrived.
