1697 Ancestor God Token

Yi Yun's figure vanished to the array's core amid the widened gazes of everyone. All of them tried to make out the subsequent scene, but the rift closed quickly, isolating them from the array's core completely.

"What… do we do now?" The Godly Monarchs exchanged looks.

The Ghost patriarch had a look of hesitation. Without Yi Yun, they had no way of removing the tracing mark on them, which meant that they could not leave the Chaos Heavens. As such, all they could do was wait for the outcome of the battle.

No one expected Yi Yun to be crazy enough to vie for the Heavenly Dao with the Ancestor God.

The Ancestor God had set up the array for decades and logically speaking, victory was a certainty. Yet, Yi Yun had created too many impossible miracles.

Of course, the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao would be gone if it was devoured. However, it was better in the hands of Yi Yun than the Ancestor God. At the very least, Yi Yun wouldn't want their lives or sever their heritage.

…

The world was a gray blur as far as the eyes could see. Yi Yun had already arrived in the core of the array. In this space, his perception was infinitely compressed, nearly impossible to release it outwards. However, after Yi Yun's laws fused with the surrounding space he was in, he could detect everything around him.

He knew very well that the gray substance around him was the nebulous Primordial Chaos.

For a world to prosper, it needed constant flesh blood to provide for renewal. The river of time was bound to rot all things, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was bound to slowly dissipate. Spiritual lands would slowly drain and the life they produced would slowly go extinct…

If the universe was unable to mend itself, it would slowly go down the route of decline.

And the material resource for a universe to heal itself came from the nebulous Primordial Chaos that gave birth to all things. It was like the stem cells of a person. The human body has countless cells dying each day, and the cells can develop into bone marrow, blood, muscles, organs, and other body parts to make up for any damage to the human body.

But unfortunately, the number of stem cells in a body will slowly reduce with the passage of time. As such, the human body will naturally ail. It could be said that the fundamental reason to aging is the lost of stem cells.

A universe's path to destruction was no different to the human body.

However, not only was there a shortage of nebulous Primordial Chaos. Amid the nebulous Primordial Chaos, there was also infinite Origins energy. Combined together, they could produce the Chaos that gave birth to everything.

This was fundamental to the Chaos Heavens and also a guarantee to the prosperity of the Chaos Heavens. The Chaos Heavens originally possessed enough to maintain the prosperity for hundreds of billions of years, but the appearance of the Ancestor God snuffed out all of that. By devouring the Origins, it was equivalent to robbing the Chaos Heavens of its longevity and the light that shines upon it from providence.

After the Ancestor God finished the devouring, the Chaos Heavens would rapidly ail, and he would be able to digest the universe's Origins and obtain infinite power, giving him a lifespan equal to the universe.

The Ancestor God's boundless ambition was so huge that it destined the death of countless lives and martial civilizations. He might even vanquish several peak races and various Great Worlds.

Now, the devouring had begun.

Yi Yun could sense that deep in the core of this space, there was a vortex that devoured everything. To this space, the vortex was nothing, but even a solid dyke can collapse because of an ant hole in it. As the vortex devoured the Chaos powers, it slowly expanded and accelerated its devouring speed.

This vortex was formed by the Ancestor God.

In order to devour the Chaos Heavens' Origins, the Ancestor God's body had already manifested a nomological form.

Once his devouring began, he could not be interrupted.

Yi Yun took steps towards the vortex and at that moment in time, he suddenly felt the surrounding space freeze.

A terrifying suppression emitted from the vortex's core and enveloped Yi Yun.

Even Yi Yun felt his bloodline stifled. It was as though all his Yuan Qi flowed slower in his body.

This suppression stemmed from the rage of the Ancestor God.

"Human! How dare you enter this area?"

A deep voice that sounded like clanking metal sounded from everywhere. It was as though the world itself was speaking.

Indeed, the Ancestor God did not expect Yi Yun to find the core of the array and be able to infiltrate it. Just this alone implied that Yi Yun's nomological insights were already close to his.

"My being here is all thanks to you." Yi Yun laughed. "Without your array, I wouldn't have been able to find the entrance. It was you who found where the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao is, and all I did was follow in your footsteps."

The first person who forged the path faced the greatest difficulties. In order to set up the array, the Ancestor God had drained immense amounts of Yuan Qi from the various wonderlands. Even he had expended a great deal of effort to do so.

From this point of view, Yi Yun had benefited quite immensely.

Of course, it was impossible for Yi Yun to deal with the Ancestor God now.

As for the Ancestor God, it would be difficult for him to immediately annihilate Yi Yun for his devouring had begun. His body was in a nomological form meant for devouring, and Yi Yun wasn't an easy opponent. To kill Yi Yun, he needed to restore to his original form.

And once he restored to his original form, his devouring of the Heavenly Dao would come to an end. Everything would then be for naught.

"Human, do you think you have what it takes to snatch the Heavenly Dao from me?" The Ancestor God's voice reverberated through space as he could already tell Yi Yun's intentions.

The Celestials could devour the Heavenly Dao to begin with, and the Ancestor God was the strongest Celestial. In terms of devouring the Heavenly Dao, no one could compare to him.

Furthermore, the array was set up by him. He was absolutely confident in his ability to devour the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, this worldly array was nothing to scoff at.

The Ancestor God knew very well that he could not manifest his true body when devouring the Heavenly Dao. Even though he was confident that the array's core would not have anyone gain entry, he had taken precautions and left contingencies in the array.

At that moment, killing intent surfaced in the array.

"You have developed your strength too quickly. I'm very astonished and I know that you carry secrets. I'm very interested for these secrets will be mine!"

As the Ancestor God spoke, golden tokens appeared around Yi Yun.

They were Ancestor God Tokens!

The Ancestor God Token was a manifestation of his mental soul and possessed a portion of his strength. The Ancestor God was occupied, but these soul avatars didn't suffer from his limitations.

The nine mental soul avatars could produce twice their combat strength under the array's augmentation.

Under the present circumstances, the Ancestor God's efforts were all placed on devouring the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao. He wouldn't hesitate to let his nine avatars self-destruct to achieve his goal.

Such a setup was enough to heavily injure or even kill Yi Yun!

Upon seeing this scene, the corners of Yi Yun's mouth arced. "The contingency you left behind sure isn't bad. It would have been a little troublesome for me to deal with them, but unfortunately… the speed at which you devour the Heavenly Dao is just too slow…"

Just as Yi Yun finished his sentence, three streams of light flew out of Yi Yun's body and surrounded Yi Yun in a triangular formation.

These three streams of light were the three Universe seeds. They were the amalgamation of Spirit, Qi, and Soul of the next Multiverse.

And although the Chaos Heavens was a huge universe, it was only a portion of the Multiverse. It was just the biggest branch in the Multiverse's crown of branches.

The Chaos Heavens similarly possessed Spirit, Qi, and Soul!

In the core regions of the Chaos Heavens, there was the nebulous Primordial Chaos that made up everything. That was the Chaos Heavens' Spirit. The Origins energy that filled the area was the Chaos Heavens' Qi. And finally, the Heavenly Dao that governed this universe was the Chaos Heavens' Soul!

Yi Yun had in control the Universe seeds formed from Spirit, Qi, and Soul, and before the three Universe seeds, the Chaos Heavens' Spirit, Qi, and Soul was instantly stirred!

Momentarily, Origins energy surged around Yi Yun like tumultuous tsunamis! The nebulous Primordial Chaos gathered over from every direction like the assaulting storm! And the Heavenly Dao laws that filled the space were almost completely fused with Yi Yun.

This combination made him more than ten times faster than the Ancestor God!

When the Ancestor God transformed into a devourment law, all he did was stir up a vortex. But around Yi Yun was a black hole!

The three Universe seeds resonated with the Chaos Heavens' Spirit, Qi, and Soul as they surged constantly towards Yi Yun.

Yi Yun's strength was rising rapidly!

At this moment in time, Yi Yun was no longer experiencing a simple rise in cultivation level, but a sublimation of life's natural order!

Upon seeing this unforeseen circumstance, the Ancestor God was alarmed. Having lived for billions of years, few things could perturb him in this world. However, Yi Yun's speed at devouring the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao far exceeded his level of understanding!

"What's exactly happening…"

The Ancestor God looked at the three Universe seeds beside Yi Yun. He couldn't tell what they were despite being extremely knowledgeable for he had never seen the Universe seeds before.

At this moment, the three Universe seeds had fused with Yi Yun's life. They were filled with Yi Yun's aura and looked akin to Yi Yun's Divine Lord Royal Seals.

Could this be the Divine Lord Royal Seals that Yi Yun cultivated?

The Ancestor God found it ludicrous. He knew very well that such a powerful treasure could not even compare to the Chaos Heavens' Heavenly Dao. How could it be condensed out of life itself?
