The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

With the bigger picture in mind, we can't be bothered with the cross and compass anymore, and we don't want to get entangled with the Song divination.

The Song Gua grows a cross-shaped tentacle from its back, and a compass appears beneath its feet.

With the compass, and especially with the compass after the soul has been gathered, Song Gua gained the ability to teleport at will.

He can appear anywhere on Earth anytime, anywhere!

If you're going far, the black fog will need to open the passage for a while.

But if we fight right here, then there's unlimited teleportation!

On the battlefield, black mist would sometimes appear here and sometimes there.

The appearance of the black fog signifies that the Song hexagram will emerge from it.

Even amidst the chaotic battle between tens of thousands of bandits and the Twelve Ancestors, Song Gua was able to provide support from all directions, delivering a crushing blow to the Twelve Ancestors.

"He has gathered the souls of six supreme artifacts!"

"Thank goodness there weren't seven; the Dark Dagger isn't here."

"Let's use our ancestral technique one more time!"

The twelfth patriarch mumbled something incomprehensible.

But judging from their actions, they're about to unleash those ancestral techniques again.

When those dazzling ancestral techniques reappeared, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Everyone present began to move backward uncontrollably.

The pocket watch, powered by the Soul Gathering ability, can now manipulate time within a given space!

The Song hexagram caused time to reverse near the twelve ancestors, forcing them to retract their ancestral techniques.

When Huan Zu realized that time was flowing backward, she turned her head sharply and was shocked to find that Song Gua was right in front of her!

"Phantom Ancestor, it's time to set off!"

Before Huan Zu could react, the huge swastika released by the Dark Golden Seal sealed her inside, one above the other.

Immediately afterwards, the cross-shaped tentacles behind Song Gua grew wildly, piercing into Huan Zu's body and beginning to absorb her life force.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

Although the words spoken by the ancestral-level deity beneath the divine mask were incomprehensible, the screams were still very clear.

"Phantom Ancestor!!"

Seeing that Illusion Ancestor was about to die, Blade Ancestor roared and charged with his blade.

Amidst the flashing blades, his afterimages covered the sea.

Surprisingly, even his afterimage could launch an attack, killing many bandits who couldn't react in time.

Upon seeing this, Song Gua retracted all his clones.

Now that he has obtained six Sovereign Artifacts and possesses the power of the Dark Emperor, he no longer needs to use his clones to withstand the attacks.

Song Gua also instructed Zero to lead the Northern Army to retreat a bit, leaving the Twelve Ancestors to him alone.

When the Sword Ancestor attacked, Song Gua remained calm and unfazed, not even moving an inch.

Guangzu flashed and instantly appeared above Song Gua's head.

"Sword Ancestor! I'm here to help you!"

The two attacked from both sides, wanting to both save Huanzu and kill Song Gua.

Suddenly, the two balance plates on Song Gua's shoulders emitted two beams of black light, striking the two of them with incredible speed, before even Guang Zu could react.

"balanced!!"

This time, the Dark Balance is not about evenly distributing the power of both sides.

The Dark Balance, with its rules fully activated, can modify this ratio!

A massive, dark scale of light and shadow appeared in the sky.

"when--"

A deep, melodious bell rang once.

The two sides of this huge scale became unbalanced.

"What... my power is draining away..."

"Damn it! Song Gua is even more powerful than the Dark Emperor now!"

Song Gua received 90% of the power of Guangzu and Daozu, but these two only received 0.9% of Song Gua's power.

The result can be imagined.

Song Gua manipulated the cross, quickly draining Huan Zu dry, then grabbed her divine treasure and snapped it in two.

Immediately afterwards, he kicked Guangzu away, then flashed and, amidst the black mist, teleported behind Daozu.

"Pfft!!"

With the spear in hand, Qianjibian pierced through Daozu and, after penetrating his body, quickly transformed into a spiked club, churning it inside his body.

The Sword Ancestor's physical body was killed once again.

However, like the Illusion Ancestor, he can be resurrected by borrowing another body as long as the divine treasure remains intact.

Song Gua would certainly not give him such an opportunity again.

He gripped the sword master's black blade with one hand and clenched his fist with the other.

"die!!"

"Thump!!"

Song Gua smashed the black blade that was the main body of the Blade Ancestor to pieces with a single punch!

"snort!"

After smashing it, I just tossed it aside.

A face that is only a mirror, without any facial features, scans the remaining ten people, making the hairs on their heads stand on end.

"Next up, Guangzu."

The remaining ten people looked on in horror.

Unexpectedly, by merely borrowing the power of the Dark Emperor and obtaining six Sovereign Sacred Artifacts, Song Gua had become so powerful that he could arbitrarily crush the Twelve Ancestors in their divine form!

Guangzu snorted coldly.

"Well... I can move at near the speed of light. You think you can kill me? Dream on!"

Song Gua stared at him.

"Whether you're dreaming or not, try it and see."

Guangzu was surprised.

Song Gua could actually understand what he was saying.

This is, of course, due to Song Gua borrowing the power of the Dark Emperor.

Language ability is also one of the Dark Emperor's powers.

Guangzu suddenly moved, his body transforming into a golden light and disappearing into the horizon.

Song Gua smiled.

"return."

A flash of golden light appeared on the horizon, and Guangzu returned the way he came.

"I……"

The pocket watch on Song Gua's forehead was turning.

A pocket watch cannot be powerful enough to alter the time of the entire universe.

However, by planting a time seed on a specific target, one can manipulate the time within that target at will.

Song Gua's kick just now planted the Time Seed.

Guangzu refused to believe it and continued flying.

Song Gua used the power of his pocket watch again, and he was pulled back.

"Does this mean I must exceed the speed of light to escape the rules of time...?"

Seeing Song Gua wielding the Thousand Transformations weapon and gradually approaching, Guangzu gritted his teeth and decided to fight!

"ah!!!"

Guangzu shone with boundless light, and a beam of white light shot out from his forehead and into the universe.

"call……"

Guangzu was gone, leaving only a distorted space in his place.

The distorted space was extending in a certain direction, like the traces left by the Light Ancestor.

Song Gua reached out and adjusted his pocket watch.

Guangzu did not return.

Killer Zu grinned maliciously.

"Hahaha! Song Gua! If the Sovereign Sacred Artifact were truly that powerful, Dark Star would have defeated us long ago! Don't actually think that you can master the laws of the universe with just a few things!"

Song Gua tilted his head and looked at the scene with a half-smile.

"I did not turn back time for Guangzu."

"Then what are you doing?"

"accelerate."

Soon, a flash of white light appeared on the scene, and Guangzu flew back from who-knows-where.

Upon closer inspection, he was already white-haired, his face was covered with wrinkles like ravines, he could no longer fly steadily, and he was clutching his chest and panting heavily.

"Song, Song, Song... Song Gua, what, what did you do to me...?"

Song Gua casually patted the dust off his hands.

"You're old and useless now."

"you……"

The Song hexagram accelerated the passage of time in Guangzu's body, causing him to age and die rapidly.

Divine transformations are not immortal; otherwise, why would these divine transformations always hibernate beforehand?

In addition, as mentioned before, a professional's combat effectiveness is affected by their physical condition.

When one ages too much, one becomes weak.

With a flick of his finger, Song Gua killed Guangzu instantly.

With a flash, he snatched the divine treasure ring from Guangzu and gripped it tightly in his palm.

Shatter!

Having discovered that this tactic worked, Song Gua looked at the other ancestors with the same gaze as if they were dead men.

"Next, Sword Ancestor."

Dark Emperor, Zero, Cloud Sheep, Red Ox, and the others looked at Song Gua at this moment and seemed to see four words.

It's time for the King of Hell to call the roll!
