After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 400 Self-Destruction, War Begins

After being knocked away, Jin Yueshan quickly turned back to the clansmen who were lined up outside the clan's territory.

"Holy Hou Clan, if you want to cause trouble, my Golden Two-Headed Lion Clan is not afraid of you. Don't think that you can frame my clan by just dragging some old man over here!"

"It must have been tough for your Holy Hou Clan. In order to frame my clan, you even dragged out your own late-stage sixth-order elder and forcibly integrated him into the bloodline of my Golden Lion Clan."

The roar of Jinyue Mountain was so loud that it spread far and wide in an instant.

All around, figures could be seen soaring through the air. Although some dared not approach, many still peered at them from afar.

It's true that the deed was done, but it can't be admitted. How could a dignified holy clan resort to such despicable means?

“Jin Yueshan, who do you think you are? My young master has come to our door in person. Not only did he ask your clan leader to come out, but your young master, the first elder, or the second elder did not come out either. Do you really think that my Holy Hou clan has reached the point where your Golden Lion clan can do whatever they want with us?”

Silver Badge roared in response, steer the floating island forward.

He looked back as well, but the Grand Elder of the Golden Lion Clan did not come from the Tu Shang Tower.

Not only did the Lion Clan's Grand Elder not come, but the Grand Elders of the Fire-Slaying Clan, the Lake-Flowering Clan, and the Wind-Bearing Clan also failed to appear.

Clearly, the three Fire-Hating Clans also wanted to see a big show.

"Get out of my way! You're not worthy to greet my clan's young master!"

The Silver Moon, disguised as a shed animal skin, remained motionless on the floating island, and no living being suspected that it was fake.

"Stop them!"

Jin Yueshan roared.

But his eyes couldn't help but secretly glance in the direction of Tu Shang Tower, wondering why the Grand Elder hadn't arrived yet.

"kill!"

"Today, my Holy Hou clan has come to seek justice. Since the Lion Clan's patriarch and elders refuse to come out, we will go in and see them!"

While Yin Zhang and Jin Yueshan were locked in their struggle, many other beings from the Holy Hou clan had caught up.

Boom!

Yin Zhang immediately summoned the Qingyang Mirror and attacked Jin Yueshan.

Despite both being mid-stage sixth-tier martial artists, Jin Yueshan was no match for Yin Zhang.

But it will still take some time to determine a winner.

Seeing that the Grand Elder of the Golden Lion Clan had not appeared, in order to enter the Golden Lion Clan's territory as quickly as possible, Shen Can, who was hiding in the following Holy Hou Clan team, secretly made a move.

Looking at the Azure Sun Mirror, which had transformed into a sky full of azure light and was hurtling towards him, Jin Yueshan opened his mouth and spat out a golden fireball.

But the moment the fireball appeared from his mouth, Jin Yueshan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

The excruciating pain in one skull spread to the other.

The brief, intense pain caused the defensive attack to pause for a moment.

The Azure Sun Mirror, which manifested as the Azure Sun Hou, stepped directly onto Jin Yue Mountain with overwhelming power.

Click!

"Ah...no!" The mouths on Jin Yueshan's two heads opened, leaving only wailing cries.

The Qingyang Hou's descending claws caused its two heads to explode with a bang, and its massive body swayed as it crashed down from the sky.

Before the many creatures could react, Jin Yueshan, a mid-stage sixth-tier cultivator, was blasted to death by Yin Zhang's attack.

"Charge in and demand justice!"

After killing Jin Yueshan in one blow, Yin Zhang then threw the Qingyang Mirror towards the Golden Lion Clan, who were lined up at the front.

A sky full of azure light illuminated the heavens, and several early-stage sixth-tier golden lions that had been blocking their way were sent flying with screams.

The other Golden Lion Clan warriors in formation were reduced to a shower of severed limbs and blood under the impact of the azure light.

These fourth and fifth-tier Golden Lion Clan members never imagined that the Holy Hou Clan was serious.

With a sixth-tier attack, the fluctuations it emitted were like a bone-scraping knife, causing the deaths and serious injuries of tens of thousands of clansmen with a single strike.

As beings of the Holy Race, the Golden Two-Headed Lion Clan had never seen anything like this in all these years.

They are the ones who bully others and annihilate other races; they've never seen such a tragic scene involving their own people.

The remaining Golden Lion Clan warriors stood there, unsure whether to run or not.

The Holy Hou warriors, who had come with rage, had their murderous aura fully ignited the moment the blood splattered onto them.

Over the years, they have suffered from severe oppression, which has led to a significant reduction in even their cultivation resources.

Now, with the elders leading the way, their pent-up anger finally erupted.

Let's storm in and demand justice!
The floating island crashed through the blood mist and headed straight for the gate of the Golden Lion Clan's territory.

Despite the countless magical spells binding this gate, it has never been completely closed over the years.

After all, who would dare to challenge the race of a seventh-tier ancestor?

Some of the Golden Lion Clan warriors also realized what was happening and began rushing towards their clan's territory.

"Please, clan leader, take action and kill these Holy Hou clan members!"

……

Under these circumstances, the Holy Hou Clan's floating islands actually rushed into the Golden Lion Clan's territory first.

Amidst the pervasive blood mist, Silver Badge did not rush into the Golden Lion Clan along with the floating island.

"Go inside with the young master and make these bristling lions give us an explanation!"

Under the roar of the silver seal, the sixth-level Saint Hou, with his silver hair, quickly followed behind the floating island and rushed into the territory of the Golden Lion Clan.

Since the young master has already gone inside, they naturally have nothing to fear.

When the Holy Hou warriors who followed saw that the young master and the elders had gone inside, they rushed in as well.

The territory of the Golden Lion Clan is actually quite similar to that of the Holy Hou Clan, with its vast jungles, rolling hills, palaces, and caves.

Once inside, the vast area is where ordinary people of the tribe live.

After the group of sixth-tier elders of the Holy Hou Clan entered the Golden Lion Clan's territory, they were immediately met by the twenty-odd sixth-tier elders guarding the territory.

There were also Golden Lion Clan warriors gathering from all directions, surrounding them.

"Silver Moon, what exactly do you want to do!"

The elders of the Golden Lion Clan were furious; their home had been turned upside down, and they were becoming a laughingstock.

Before he finished speaking, a blood-red halo shone from the center of his silver temples, and a look of pain appeared on his half-lion, half-monster face.

"Listen up, all of you! That old bastard from the Holy Hou clan has gone to the Northern Heavenly River Basin to search for a seventh-tier fallen dragon."

His desperate shouts echoed in all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave world.

The previously repaired cracks on the beast core inside the silver-haired body suddenly burst open, as if a fire dragon was surging within the cracks.

Seeing so many pillars of the Golden Lion Clan surrounding him, Shen Can decided not to delay any longer.

The longer the time, the greater the probability of an accident.

……

"Silver Temple, what are you doing!"

As an unusual aura emanated from Silverbeard, the sixth-tier members of the Golden Lion Clan had no time to ponder the meaning of Silverbeard's shout; they only felt a bone-chilling cold.

not good!

……

boom!
In mid-air above the territory of the Golden Two-Headed Lion Clan, its silver mane transformed into a blooming blood flower, and violent energy, carrying with it a sky full of blood mist, swept out and spread out like ripples.

Wherever it passed, heaven and earth seemed to freeze.

Fear froze on the face of the sixth-order being.

Fourth- and fifth-order beings are still in a state of confusion.

As for the first, second, and third-tier beings, they were still on the ground, gazing up at the sky, cursing the Holy Hou race.

For an instant.

The silver hair disappeared, replaced by a bursting sun.

The sun was dazzling and blinded everyone. The terrifyingly hot sunlight first engulfed the nearest sixth-level Holy Hou clan member into nothingness.

Then, the crimson light expanded further outward, engulfing the sixth, fifth, and fourth tiers of the golden two-headed lion clan...

There were no screams; they didn't even have time before they vanished into the void.

The first, second, and third tiers of lions, houses, palaces, herds of beasts, and even the earth itself were all swept away.

In the sky, crimson energy transformed into a giant mushroom, reaching straight up to the dome of the Lion Clan's cave.

Click!

In an instant, the Lion Clan's Cave Heaven began to shake violently, and a hideous crack stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The area above, impacted by the crimson mushroom, shattered into a mass of broken energy, revealing the sky above.

Click!Click!
The surging energy swept across the mountains and fields, causing the entire cave to shake violently.

As expected of a seventh-tier race's grotto-world, its area is terrifyingly large. Even with Silverbeard's self-destruction, it only shook about one-fifth of the area.

however.

The second sun appeared.

This time it was a bright green sun.

It was the Qingyang Bone, the sorcery artifact used to trap Yinshan earlier.

In the azure sun, an enormous Azure Sun Hou appeared, letting out a roar of unwillingness.

Then, Qingri and Qingyanghou together transformed into billions of beams of blue light, shooting straight in all directions like lightning.

Rumble!
The azure light followed the path of the blood-red light, crashing down to the ground and soaring into the sky.

Crack! The barrier at the entrance to the Golden Two-Headed Lion Clan's ancestral cave world could no longer hold, and billions of runes of magic exploded, turning into a shower of light that splashed out in all directions.

The surging energy spread outwards from the blasted-open entrance to the cave, and the Holy Hou Clan warriors who had not yet entered the realm were instantly swept away by the aftershocks of the azure light.

Fortunately, the team was stretched out long enough; otherwise, this attack would have caused heavy casualties to the Holy Hou tribe.

Currently, only the vanguard is affected. Although there are more fifth-tier casualties, the entire Holy Hou clan still has more than a million members.

……

The Golden Lion Clan's barrier is hidden in the mountains and forests, and its outline is never visible under normal circumstances.

At this moment, a vast, perfectly round barrier sphere emerged on the desolate land in a very mysterious way.

Its enormous outline is even taller than a giant mountain, and it looks like a star that has fallen to earth and is still smoking.

A torrent of energy surged from the crack, transforming into a sky full of crimson and blue flames that shot straight into the starry sky, sweeping in all directions.

The nearby fourth-order beings were all reduced to ashes, while those in the middle and far distances were blown away by the energy.

Standing outside the barrier, Yin Zhang looked at the realm that hadn't completely collapsed and the distant blue mountains, and he understood that this was the best possible outcome.

The fact that they were able to enter the Golden Lion Clan's territory and self-destruct was purely due to their speed.

Although everyone could expect a conflict and bloodshed between the two races, no one expected them to self-destruct as soon as they arrived.

As expected of a seventh-tier clan territory, although the cave's outline appears to be only tens of thousands of miles in size from the outside, its internal space is actually no smaller than the Giant Mountain Range.

The power of a late-stage sixth-order self-destruction is immense, but the boundary wall of the cave world is incredibly strong. The fact that it could blast open two large holes is already considered a proper self-destruction for someone with silver hair.

No, that's not right either. The Qingyang Bone, this magical artifact, also played a significant role.

It is unclear exactly how many Golden Lion Clan members died, but there were more than twenty sixth-tier Golden Lion Clan members blocking Silverbeard's path at the time, and fifth-tier and fourth-tier members were densely packed together, so many that they could not be counted.

The number of ordinary Golden Lion Clan members on the land stirred up by the energy must be at least over ten million.

It's a pity that they didn't severely injure a late-stage or even peak sixth-tier expert of the Golden Lion Clan.

Not a pity at all.

If such a guy were in his own clan, Silverbeard wouldn't even have had the chance to enter the Golden Lion Clan and self-destruct.

"Little Lord!"

The silver coin burst forth and roared at the blazing fire in the cave.

"You raging lion, my Holy Hou clan will fight you to the death!"

"Our young master has just entered and has already fallen into your trap!"

"Kill me!"

"Avenge our young master!"

They couldn't enter the Golden Lion Clan's cave; the surging energy hadn't dissipated yet.

However, outside the cave world, there are many vassals of the Golden Lion Clan.

Silver Badge rallied the remaining Holy Hou forces and charged into these areas.

"Till death!"

"Avenge our young master!"

The Holy Hou warriors, who were dazed and confused by the shockwave, followed Yin Zhang and charged downwards.

Wherever there is a palace, wherever there are figures, that's where they'll charge.

A chaotic battle broke out.

……

"You Holy Hou Clan, you're courting death!"

The remaining sixth-tier Golden Lion Clan members outside the cave world also recovered from the shock.

The moment the energy from the self-destruction burst forth from the cave, they were too close and completely unprepared, and were immediately thrown out, with several of them exploding on the spot.

The remaining few, all wounded, angrily charged towards Yin Zhang.

With a roar, Silver Badge, carrying the Azure Sun Mirror, engaged in fierce combat with the remaining sixth-tier Golden Lion Clan members.

He was yelling as he did it.

The sound was deafening, and could be heard by everyone, from the Holy Hou Clan and the Golden Lion Clan to those watching from afar.

However, the onlookers were now running wildly into the distance, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire of the battle between the two races.

The ordinary sixth-tier elders of the Golden Lion Clan were unaware of why their clan's ancestor and clan leader were not present.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

They only wanted to kill the Holy Hou clan!
The Holy Hou Clan only wanted to kill the Golden Lion Clan!

……

Tu Shang Pagoda.

When a booming sound echoed from the direction of the Golden Lion Clan's territory, it reverberated here.

This caused the Grand Elder of the Golden Lion Clan to change his expression drastically.

The soaring crimson light pierced the starry sky, and the elders of the Holy Race could see it even more clearly.

After a burst of blood-red light, there was another burst of blue light.

Then, the sky above the area where the Golden Lion Clan lived began to tremble.

"What is done today will surely be rewarded handsomely in the future!"

The Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder's mane bristled, and he charged out in a burst of golden light.

This time, neither the Fire-Slaying Clan nor the three elders of the Wind-Bearing Clan and the Lake-Flowing Clan stood in their way.

"How could this happen? It looks like a self-destruction. Why did they start with something so big?"

The elder of the Wind-Bearing Clan spread his wings and vanished in a flash.

The elders of the Yanhuo tribe and the Shuhu tribe took a look.

"Shall we go take a look?"

The two of them also soared into the air and rushed towards the direction of the Golden Lion Clan.

……

"Could it be that the ancestor of the Golden Lion Clan is not in the clan?"

Despite the fact that the Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder left the Tu Shang Tower first, the first to arrive was actually the Wind-Bearing Clan's Grand Elder.

After he arrived, he circled the outline of the Golden Lion Clan's territory.

It's immediately obvious that this is what happens after a self-destruction, or rather, it self-destructed twice.

One time it was flesh and blood, the other time it was a witchcraft artifact.

Logically speaking, if a seventh-tier ancestor were present, how could a sixth-tier ancestor have the opportunity to self-destruct?

Even if the seventh-ranked cultivator wasn't there, with the Golden Lion Clan Chief present, they could have intervened in time and prevented such a tragic scene.

Recalling the hurried manner of the Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder, the Wind-Bearing Clan's Grand Elder had a guess in his mind.

“Sacred Hou, Lion”

Suddenly, his thoughts shifted.

The Holy Hou Clan isn't here to seek justice; they're clearly here to fight to the death.

The Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder must have known the Holy Hou Clan's purpose, which is why he wanted to come quickly to stop them.

Why are neither the patriarch nor the clan leader of the Golden Lion Clan present? It goes without saying that it must be related to the Holy Hou Clan.

"Great, great, that was a perfect explosion!"

Gazing at the golden light rapidly approaching from afar, the Great Elder of the Wind Clan flicked his wings and vanished from the spot.

……

When the Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder rushed back and saw the devastating scene in the clan's territory, he nearly collapsed.

The once beautiful cave world has been torn open with a huge hole in the top, and the entrance has completely collapsed.

From the outside, it's clear that the clan's territory has become a blank expanse.

You should know that once you enter the cave, it becomes the place where most of the tribesmen live.

Now, as far as the eye can see, there is only endless white land, with no end in sight.

If it weren't for the fact that this place was the very end of the cave, there would still be rolling green and lush mountains, which gave the Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder some comfort.

Otherwise, he really would have to kneel down.

"So cruel!"

He knew the Holy Hou Clan had come to fight to the death, but he hadn't expected them to be so decisive and ruthless.

Although he was blocked by the elders of the other three clans, according to the timeline, the Holy Hou clan had only just arrived at the territory of his Golden Lion clan.

This guy's totally aiming to self-destruct!
They didn't give us a single moment.

"Damn the Fire-Hating Clan, damn the Shuhu Lake..."

The Golden Lion Clan's Grand Elder, gazing at the two streaks of light approaching from afar, knew without a doubt that the fastest-moving Grand Elder of the Wind Clan already knew everything.

……

In the distance, in an inconspicuous mountain range, Shen Can, who had transformed into an inconspicuous lion, saw the gathered executive elders of the ancient city of Tu Shang.

These are important figures in the ancient city of Tu Shang. In the past, countless races relied on these individuals for survival.

With such a big commotion this time, I wonder if it will completely throw the ancient city of Tushang into chaos.
