Chapter 4765: 4747 Qinghou Dao Ancestor, Dan Yao

"How could I die when you haven't?" A mocking male voice rang out.

Scarcely had the words faded when a seven-colored rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, with Dao Ancestor Qihong standing atop it, his expression indifferent. He had taken the fifth-grade immortal pill given by Wang Changsheng, which had significantly accelerated his recovery; he was now almost fully healed. Wang Changsheng had initiated the Immortal-Chaos War and had already informed Dao Ancestor Qihong about it.

"Old Ghost Qing, since you're here, why not reveal yourself? Do you intend to ambush me from the shadows?" The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast's tone was icy cold. It swung its blade towards a point in the void, unleashing a massive golden blade light. An immense crack tore open in the void, and a huge fissure appeared on the ground.

An earth-shattering roar echoed, and a blue sound wave swept forward, colliding with the golden blade light. The blade light dissipated, but the blue sound wave continued its trajectory directly towards the Ten-Colored Chaos Beast. The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast countered with a punch, unleashing a colossal golden fist-shadow that collided with the blue sound wave, resulting in their mutual destruction.

"You've also mastered six Laws of Origin! It seems you've recovered quite well!" The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast frowned.

A streak of blue light appeared in the distant sky, halting after a single flicker. As the light receded, a tall, elderly man in a blue robe was revealed. It was Dao Ancestor Qinghou, hailing from the Fierce Roar Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, long time no see. I'm surprised you've made an appearance; I thought you were still in slumber!" Dao Ancestor Qinghou said. Had he not intervened, Fierce Roar Son would have been killed.

"I would have preferred to continue my slumber, but it wouldn't allow it! It insisted on stirring up trouble." Dao Ancestor Qihong stated coldly.

Since the end of the Great Dao War, many Dao Ancestors had been in slumber, recuperating and cultivating in seclusion. The Wang family's initiation of the Immortal-Chaos War this time was, in fact, Dao Ancestor Qihong's attempt to gauge the Chaos Beasts' strength and ascertain the extent of their recovery. Dao Ancestor Qihong would not have revealed himself unless the formidable Chaos Beasts made a move.

"Hmph, you were the ones who instigated this first." The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast snorted coldly, speaking with a hint of displeasure.

"The Immortal Realm was always our domain; it was you who invaded it. If you were to retreat to the Chaos Realm, no one would even deign to acknowledge you." Dao Ancestor Qihong sneered.

"Invasion? Hmph, it's merely the law of the jungle. You are too weak; who is there to blame? Surely you don't believe I fear you simply because of your numbers!" The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast scoffed.

"What about me, then?" An icy female voice rang out.

No sooner had she spoken than a clap of thunder reverberated through the heavens. A golden lightning bolt flared high in the sky, revealing a slender woman in a golden gown. The woman in the golden gown had elongated ears, golden eyes, and a vertical eye situated between her eyebrows. Her aura was unfathomable.

"You are...?" Dao Ancestor Qihong scrutinized the woman in the golden gown, his face etched with confusion.

"I am Dan Yao. It's quite normal for Fellow Daoist Jin not to recognize me; during the Chaos Era, I was merely a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was only with immense effort that I managed to reach this stage." The woman in the golden gown explained.

Dao Ancestor Xingchen arrived, his right arm missing and his face pale. "It's thanks to Lady Dan's intervention that I survived." Dao Ancestor Xingchen said.

"Only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the Chaos Era? Truly useless! What does it matter that you've ascended to Dao Ancestor?" The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast scoffed.

Dan Yao's expression turned cold. She formed a hand seal, and a phantom golden lightning orb materialized in the void above her head. Upon closer inspection, the orb's surface was covered in intricate Dao patterns.

"A Dao Foundation!" Dao Ancestor Qihong exclaimed in surprise, realizing Dan Yao possessed genuine capability.

An earth-shattering peal of thunder erupted high above, as a massive golden lightning column streaked across the sky, heading directly for the Ten-Colored Chaos Beast. The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast swung its golden long blade, cleaving towards the golden lightning column. With a deafening crash, the golden lightning column was cleaved in two by the golden blade, and lightning engulfed the Ten-Colored Chaos Beast's body. A blinding surge of ten-colored spiritual light flared, revealing the Ten-Colored Chaos Beast to be completely unscathed.

"Mastered four Laws of Origin! That's far from enough to kill me." The Ten-Colored Chaos Beast sneered.

Teng Xiao appeared above the Mother Tower and announced, "Xia, Yan, and Yian have been killed."

"I killed them. Ambushing from the shadows? Do you truly believe I am inconsequential?" Dao Ancestor Qihong said coldly.

During this Immortal-Chaos War, the Immortals had no prior knowledge of which battlefield the powerful Chaos Beasts would appear on. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had been observing in secret, prepared to act only when the formidable Chaos Beasts made their move. When Yian suddenly appeared and injured Wang Qingling, Wang Changsheng intervened promptly. Wang Ruyan had been observing in secret for a long time. Even after Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin had dispatched the Dao Ancestors of the Yelü King tribe, no powerful Chaos Beasts had yet appeared. Upon learning that formidable Chaos Beasts were confronting the Ancestral Dragon, Wang Ruyan swiftly rushed to the scene but was still a step too late. Chen moved to engage the Ancestral Dragon, but Yan suddenly struck, annihilating the Ancestral Dragon. Both the Immortals and the powerful Chaos Beasts had been observing from the shadows, ready to act only when their opponents did.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were momentarily stunned; they had never imagined that Dao Ancestor Qihong would claim responsibility for the deed. This shifted the Chaos Beasts' attention entirely onto him. If Teng Xiao were to learn that Wang Changsheng had single-handedly annihilated Yian, the Chaos Beasts would undoubtedly take the Wang family very seriously.

"This time, I owe my life to Fellow Daoist Jin's assistance; otherwise, I would have perished. To think they would dispatch a Dao Ancestor who had mastered four Laws of Origin to ambush from the shadows." Wang Changsheng said.

Teng Xiao had no doubts; after all, Dao Ancestor Qihong was a Dao Ancestor from the Chaos Era, and given his immense power, annihilating Yian was not surprising.

"Do you truly intend to fight? To preemptively begin the Great Dao War?" An icy female voice rang out.

No sooner had she spoken than a streak of light flew in from the distance, revealing a Ten-Colored Chaos Beast with a human head, a dragon's body, and bird-like wings.

"Wei, you've arrived too." Xia was both surprised and delighted.

"If you wish to commence it, we shall fight to the bitter end. I presume the Chaos Beast Progenitor has not yet recovered, have they?" Dao Ancestor Qihong sneered.

"That's none of your concern; it's our own affair. Let us conclude this now. But if you truly insist on fighting, we will meet you to the bitter end." Wei said.

Wang Changsheng naturally had no objections. After this battle, numerous Dao Ancestors had fallen, the Wang family had annihilated two major tribes, and six Dao Ancestors had been slain — a significant achievement. Should the fighting continue, the trajectory of the war would become unpredictable.

Both sides withdrew their forces. Wang Changsheng retrieved his Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, and everyone returned to Fierce Roar Immortal City. The Dao Ancestors then gathered in Fierce Roar Hall to discuss the next arrangements.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard that Dao artifact in your possession can devour sub-towers?" Dao Ancestor Qinghou inquired.

At these words, the gazes of several Dao Ancestors converged on Wang Changsheng, their faces openly envious.

"Hmm, is something amiss?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

"Old Ghost Qing, surely you aren't coveting Fellow Daoist Wang's Dao artifact!" Dao Ancestor Qihong said with a chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you know Fellow Daoist Wang?" Dao Ancestor Qinghou asked curiously.

"Indeed. Is there a problem with that?" Dao Ancestor Qihong offered a cryptic half-smile.

"No problem at all. I merely wanted to advise him to be cautious, as the Chaos Beasts will surely seek to eliminate him." Dao Ancestor Qinghou stated solemnly.
