“Why did you invite a bunch of Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts when you’re facing a Sixth Heavenly Layer Starflame Demon Lion?” The Illusionary Ancestor furrowed her brows.
The Jade Lotus Master and everyone else felt awkward. The Illusionary Ancestor looked down on them, yet they were unable to muster any feeling of displeasure.
“You may not be aware, Illusionary Ancestor. It is indeed a little too much for these fellows to deal with the Starflame Demon Lion, but they will be of great use when it comes to collecting the essence of its five organs and its soul essence. After all, the ancient pill I’m refining is of extremely great importance to the crown prince. I cannot afford to be careless at all over something so important, which was why I made these arrangements,” said the Master of Profound Secrets.
The Illusionary Ancestor eased up and said, “I’ll go and suppress the Starflame Demon Lion. You can adapt to the circumstances. I only have one request. Don’t disappoint me!”
“Please don’t worry, Illusionary Ancestor. I definitely won’t disappoint you!” The Master of Profound Secrets guaranteed.
In the next moment, the Illusionary Ancestor suddenly vanished. When she appeared again, she had already arrived in outer space, directly over the Starflame Demon Lion’s head.
The Master of Profound Secrets’ high quality god artifact that blended in as an asteroid seemed to be non-existent in the Illusionary Ancestor’s eyes. She could come and go as she pleased.
Boom!
In the next moment, a great rumble rang out in the asteroid field. Earlier, the Illusionary Ancestor had been extremely discreet, no different from an ordinary person. Now, she demonstrated startling might. A terrifying presence swept out from her body, flooding the surroundings and crushing outer space, making countless asteroids in the surroundings explode.
The colossal dead planet that the Starflame Demon Lion rested on also collapsed immediately under the Illusionary Ancestor’s pressure. The Starflame Demon Lion jerked awake and raised its colossal head, immediately locking onto the Illusionary Ancestor above with its huge eyes. It subconsciously opened its huge mouth, wanting to let out a roar instinctively.
However, before it could even let out its roar, the Illusionary Ancestor’s hand had already fallen. Her gentle-looking hand contained terrifying and shocking power, piercing outer space and landing on the Starflame Demon Lion’s head instantly.
With a bang, a huge handprint appeared on the Starflame Demon Lion’s head. Its skull cracked open, and blood flowed uncontrollably.
It should have been knocked far away by the great force, but an invisible power surrounded it, fixing it firmly in place. In the end, the Starflame Demon Lion’s body was locked into place in an extremely strange posture.
“Fellows, it’s time for us to take action.” The Master of Profound Secrets no longer cared about the Warring Old Freak inside the high quality god artifact. He signalled the experts beside him and left.
Jian Chen let out a laugh and said, “You must be joking, senior Warring. I come from a lower world, and my ancestors have all been regular people. How can I be a descendant of the Illusionary Ancestor.”
“Of course, I know you’re now. If you really were a descendant, the Illusionary Ancestor would have recognised you with a single glance with her cultivation. Moreover, you don’t have the bloodline of the Waymight clan.” The Warring Old Freak shook his head and discarded these random thoughts. He began to focus on the battle outside.
Outside, all of the asteroids had already been destroyed. Residing in the high quality god artifact, their view completely opened up as well. They could clearly see the battle between the Illusionary Ancestor and the Starflame Demon Lion.
The Starflame Demon Lion was already a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Due to the toughness of its body and its regeneration, it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to heavily injure it, let alone kill it.
A million years ago, it took a group of Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts led by a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt to kill it after quite some effort.
But right now, an intense battle did not erupt between the Starflame Demon Lion and the Illusionary Ancestor’s secondary body.
That was because the Starflame Demon Lion was unable to resist at all. Their strength was on completely different levels.
By now, the Starflame Demon Lion was covered in wounds. Its huge skull had already cracked open. Several large handprints were embedded in its head, creating a brutal scene.
Powerful energy lingered around each handprint, preventing the Starflame Demon Lion from healing.
As a result, the Starflame Demon Lion struggled to heal from all of the wounds caused by the Illusionary Ancestor.
In just half a minute, the Starflame Demon Lion seemed to be incapacitated. It collapsed in outer space.
The Illusionary Ancestor stood over its head. Her black clothes ruffled despite the absence of wind. The presence she gave off was so powerful that the surrounding space contorted, making the Starflame Demon Lion tremble from the bottom of its heart.
The Illusionary Ancestor waved her hands. Chains of order manifested from the surrounding space, plunging mercilessly into the Starflame Demon Lion’s body like sharp spears and restraining it in the air.
