Chapter 4719: Like Smoke Dao Ancestor

Time flew by, and six hundred thousand years passed quickly.

In the central part of the Chaos Continent, a colossal black tower stood, where seven Dao Ancestors, including Chen, Xiang, and Hai, had gathered.

The colossal tower emitted a blinding black light, revealing Teng Xiao's figure.

"Chen, Xiang, how's your recovery coming along?" Teng Xiao asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Teng. We've almost fully recovered," Chen replied. After hundreds of thousands of years of recuperation, he had largely recovered.

"You'll have no problem dealing with Ancestor Dragon, right?" Teng Xiao asked.

"It's hard to say, as I haven't fought him in tens of millions of years. However, my strength has greatly increased, and I'm not afraid of him in a one-on-one fight. There's no need to team up with other fellow Daoists to deal with Ancestor Dragon anymore," Chen stated. He had not only cultivated the Chaos Body but also established the Soul Origin Law, significantly enhancing his power.

Teng Xiao looked at Xiang and asked, "What about Xiang?"

"I've almost fully recovered," Xiang replied.

"Good. Return immediately and inform the others to initiate the Immortal-Chaos War," Teng Xiao commanded.

"Elder Teng! Have you fully recovered?" Chen asked.

"No, I haven't. I plan to first launch the Immortal-Chaos War to eliminate some Dao Ancestors and weaken the Immortals' power. We now have sixteen Dao Ancestors. Xin from the Yiqiu King Tribe and Dan from the Gedan King Tribe have both opened up a second Origin Law, significantly increasing their strength. We can launch the Immortal-Chaos War now," Teng Xiao explained, adding that after years of recuperation, the strength of the Chaos Beasts had significantly increased. Xin from the Yiqiu King Tribe and Dan from the Gedan King Tribe were both ten-colored Chaos Beasts who had achieved Dao through special laws and had opened new special Origin Laws. With the addition of Chen and Xiang, the overall strength of the Chaos Beasts was even greater.

"Elder Teng, why not wait until you've fully recovered before making a move?" Hai asked.

"Are you worried I can't defeat the three Dao artifacts of the Qiankun Pagoda?" Teng Xiao asked.

"Not at all. With your full recovery, our chances would simply be much higher," Hai clarified.

"I haven't fully recovered, it's true, but I can suppress those three without a problem. Even with the Wang family's Dao artifact, I can suppress him in a direct confrontation. Last time, I was merely ambushed by him, and he actually recovered completely and easily killed Xia. I suspect he, like me, can devour rare treasures to enhance himself and heal. The longer we delay, the stronger he becomes. Let's eliminate some Dao Ancestors first; then you can free up your hands to help me," Teng Xiao explained.

"He can devour rare treasures to heal?" Chen asked, surprised.

"During the last Immortal-Chaos War, I personally wounded him badly. Yet, he recovered faster than I did, indicating he must have devoured many rare treasures or Dao artifact fragments. If we delay further, I'm concerned I won't be able to suppress him. Besides him, those three other individuals should not be underestimated either," Teng Xiao said. She and the nine subsidiary pagodas could gain the upper hand against the Qiankun Pagoda, the Hongmeng Tablet, and the Yiyan Palace. However, with the addition of Qing Xuan, Teng Xiao was under immense pressure. If Qing Xuan's strength continued to grow, her pressure would only increase. Launching the Immortal-Chaos War would weaken the Immortals' power, allow them to capture Immortals for sacrifice to the mother pagoda to cultivate more masters, and collect cultivation resources—killing three birds with one stone.

"Yes, Elder Teng," Chen and the others responded in unison before retreating.

The twelve major tribes mobilized all their forces and launched a massive attack on the Immortals' territory.

Cloud Voyage Immortal Realm, Cloud Voyage Continent.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingfeng, Ye Haitang, Wang Mengbin, and others stood on a peak, gazing at the distant nine-colored thunderclouds. One after another, thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolts streaked across the sky, striking down in succession. Wang Ruyan was in the process of ascending to Dao Ancestor; once she passed the thunder tribulation, she would achieve Dao Ancestor status.

Wang Changsheng had refined the beast hide of Dao Ancestor Xia into a top-grade Chaos Armor and incorporated five defensive fifth-tier immortal materials to enhance its defense. It wasn't that he didn't want to incorporate more defensive fifth-tier immortal materials; he simply didn't have any. Wang Changsheng had repaired the main formation flag of the Lightning Containment Array, embedding a Hongmeng Spirit Treasure to boost its power for Wang Ruyan's tribulation. The Dao Ancestor thunder tribulation was too powerful; judging from its might, Wang Ruyan was also destined to achieve Dao through a supreme law.

Wang Yongqian flew over, having already advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. "Ancestor, the Immortal-Chaos War has erupted. The twelve major Chaos Beast tribes have mobilized all their forces to attack the Immortals' territory. The True Dragon Clan has issued a True Dragon Order, inviting high-tier Immortals to participate in the war against Chaos. The True Dragon Clan conveyed a message through our clansmen, inviting us to join the fight," Wang Yongqian said.

"Understood," Wang Changsheng nodded. Wang Ruyan was undergoing her tribulation; they would discuss it after she completed it.

A thunderous roar filled the air as massive nine-colored immortal lightning bolts struck down successively, hitting the ground. Dust and smoke billowed everywhere, and powerful shockwaves ripped through the void. Over two hours later, the nine-colored thunderclouds transformed into an enormous nine-colored Thunder鯤, which dove down from high altitude. Along its path, countless thick, long cracks appeared in the void. A celestial melody rang out, and countless mysterious musical notes emerged in the void. After a blur, they transformed into numerous sound arrows, shooting directly towards the nine-colored Thunder鯤. The dense barrage of sound arrows struck the nine-colored Thunder鯤 repeatedly. Its body twisted, then exploded, sending a massive burst of nine-colored lightning soaring skyward, engulfing a large area. A powerful shockwave then spread rapidly, leveling an area spanning tens of billions of li. Another celestial melody sounded, and the nine-colored lightning and dust dissipated.

Wang Ruyan stood pale-faced in a giant smoke-billowing crater, enveloped by a faint blue light screen. She had achieved Dao through the Soul Law. The three sets of defensive immortal artifacts Wang Changsheng had refined, which incorporated Hongmeng Spirit Treasures, along with the Liangyi Lightning Transformation Orb, the Lightning Containment Array, and the top-grade Chaos Armor, were all rendered useless. The Liangyi Lightning Transformation Orb had been damaged during her previous tribulation, and it was completely destroyed during Wang Ruyan's current ascension. Ripples shimmered above her head, and a nine-colored pagoda materialized, extending a stream of nine-colored immortal light that enveloped her. Wang Ruyan could clearly feel her physical body rapidly strengthening, her vital energy growing more potent, and her entire being filled with power. A pool appeared, filled with nine-colored immortal essence. Wang Changsheng, who had achieved Dao through the Law of Karma, had received the same treatment. Wang Ruyan quickly conjured a blue jade bottle and collected all the nine-colored immortal essence.

Wang Changsheng and the others flew over, their expressions filled with excitement.

"Haha, our family now has two Dao Ancestors!" Wang Qingcheng exclaimed excitedly.

"Our Wang family is now a Dao Clan!" Wang Qingshan declared proudly.

"Wife, are you alright?" Wang Changsheng asked with concern.

"I'm fine. It's all thanks to the treasures my husband prepared," Wang Ruyan replied with a smile.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "The Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda has launched the Immortal-Chaos War. We'll immediately return and raze the Hunxie King Tribe to the ground."

They returned to Azure Lotus Immortal Island. Wang Changsheng then collected the island and used the Ruyi Gate to travel to the Chaos Continent. Over two million years ago, they had fled the Chaos Continent seeking refuge. Now, they were returning to exact their revenge.
