Chapter 1699

The battle ax cleaved down as immense divine might surged through the nine firmaments, tearing apart the Chaos Heavens’ membrane and rushing into the void of the universe. The massive divine strength was like a boundless, raging tidal wave!

At that instant, even the distant stars began to quake. The Chaos Heavens was shaking constantly.

Outside the core of the array, the other Godly Monarchs saw the phantom of a gigantic divine ax. When it came cleaving down, a huge rift tore into the ground out of nowhere. It was thousands of kilometers deep and seemed to tear through the lands of the Chaos Heavens!

Everyone was quivering both in body and mind. The might was at such an unfathomable level that it could split open the Chaos Heavens with one strike. Such a battle was taking place in the Chaos Heavens, but it was not something the Chaos Heavens could withstand. If this continued, it was even possible that the Chaos Heavens would be reduced to smithereens!

Without a doubt, the gigantic ax phantom was the Ancestor God’s attack, and withstanding such an attack seemed unimaginable.

“Where’s Yi Yun?”

Polar’s voice quivered. From his point of view, the original array’s core had begun cracking because of the Ancestor God’s strike. The array appeared to be on the brink of shattering.

But even so, their perception was still unable to probe deep into the array.

At the core of the array were turbulent blasts of energy that formed a gigantic vortex. It constantly tore the surroundings apart. Even the space around the array was collapsing. Mountains and rivers were all swept into the vortex.

And within the vortex, a black hole could barely be seen, one that suffused Yi Yun’s aura. However, there was a huge crack running through the black hole.

That was the mark left behind by the Ancestor God’s ax!

The Ancestor God’s ax had cleaved right onto the devourment laws Yi Yun had manifested!

As the cracks constantly widened, the black hole shrank in size.

At that moment, the black hole suddenly exploded and was reduced to countless fragments. In a blink of an eye, it vanished within the raging array core.

The Ancestor God’s cold eyes observed the core of the array. He could not see Yi Yun, and Yi Yun’s aura dissipated with the explosion of the black hole.

Even in the face of death, Yi Yun had not given up his devourment of the Heavenly Dao. In the end, he was vanquished, both in body and laws, with one strike.

However… was Yi Yun really dead?

Ancestor God held his battle ax tight as he surveyed his surroundings. He would absolutely not spare Yi Yun a chance even if Yi Yun only had a sliver of his soul left.

This strike had expended a great deal of the Ancestor God’s energy. When he saw the array core in ruins, he could not help but let out an angry bellow.

Although Yi Yun had likely been reduced to dust, all his efforts had been for nothing!

The Ancestor God clenched his fists as he struck the array core repeatedly.

The array core which was already riddled in holes was further destroyed.

The Godly Monarchs outside the array core felt their bodies and minds tremble when they heard the Ancestor God’s angry roar.

They watched helplessly as the array core became a spatial ruin formed from wanton forces. It was as though a huge wound had been torn open in the Chaos Heavens’ sky.

As the wound constantly worsened, the entire Chaos Heavens would be devoured by its damaged depths.

And beside the massive wound was a giant that slowly stood up.

“Ancestor God…”

The Godly Monarchs outside the array looked at the giant in a daze.

The Ancestor God was still alive, and clearly, no life could exist in that terrifying wound.

Was Yi Yun dead?

At that moment, everyone’s hearts plunged into despair.

And it was at that moment that the giant’s pair of cold eyes swept towards these trivial lowlifes.

When being swept by this gaze, everyone’s hearts stopped beating. Their alarmed souls found it difficult to breathe.

The Ancestor God’s gaze had locked onto their souls.

This level of suppression was just too terrifying. Furthermore, they had all openly betrayed the Ancestor God by this point in time.

Under the scrutiny of the Ancestor God, these Godly Monarchs felt a baffling sense of coldness.

If the Ancestor God suddenly attacked, they might very well perish there and then. Even more depressing was that even if they succeeded in fleeing, they were unable to escape the Ancestor God’s tracing mark. They would ultimately suffer a worse death.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment as the atmosphere turned as heavy as the Chaos itself. All the Godly Monarchs could only suffer the Ancestor God’s suppression in silence.

The Ancestor God stood in midair while holding his gigantic ax. No one knew what he was planning to do.

This suppression that nearly drove people to the brink of madness lasted for quite a while until the Ancestor God finally put away his battle ax.

The Ancestor God looked coldly at everyone. His heart did not suffer any upheavals for he only saw these people as nothing but tools.

He did not directly attack them for he had not completely given up on the Chaos Heavens.

In fact, the Ancestor God’s worldly array had enervated most of the Heavenly Dao in the Chaos Heavens’ core, but he had ultimately failed to devour it.

Now, after the core’s Heavenly Dao was shattered, the Chaos Heavens had been damaged fundamentally even though a portion of the Heavenly Dao had returned to the Chaos Heavens. Its decline could no longer be curbed.

Even if the Ancestor God spent more time and paid a massive price to devour the Heavenly Dao again, the benefits he stood to receive would be far less than what they were previously.

This left him in a dilemma. The Chaos Heavens became useless and bland, but abandoning it would be regretful.

Yet, the Chaos Heavens was a supreme universe in the Multiverse. If he were to abandon the Chaos Heavens, which Heavenly Dao could he devour?

The Ancestor God sat down cross-legged and began slowly recovering his energy.

Meanwhile, a massive divine force came bearing down and enveloping all the Godly Monarchs.

This was the Ancestor God’s domain which imprisoned all the Godly Monarchs like a cage.

In fact, the Ancestor God wasn’t in the best of states. After his intense battle with Yi Yun, as well as having Yi Yun disrupt his devourment of the Heavenly Dao, the Ancestor God was already injured. The domain he released could naturally be cracked if the Godly Monarchs joined forces.

But at that moment, the Godly Monarchs knew that any attempt at escaping the Ancestor God’s domain would incur the Ancestor God’s retaliation.

These mighty figures that ruled over the Chaos Heavens knew their fates were in the hands of the Ancestor God.

Of course, not everyone chose to sit idle. Some Godly Monarchs, including Polar, were engaging in voice transmissions in a bid to put up a struggle.

In fact, they also knew that even if they ignited all their blood essence, the threat they posed to the Ancestor God was negligible. However, they still wanted to take the gamble. It wasn’t for their dignity as experts, but simply because they had turned weary after all these years. To be made to work akin to slaves, they would rather die in a glorious battle than await a slow death.

Just as the Godly Monarchs were communicating among themselves, someone suddenly discovered that the terrifying wound was changing.

The crack was only full of wanton energy blasts in the beginning, but now, without anyone realizing it, the chaotic flows had turned regular. They amassed towards the center as though something was summoning them.

Rumbling sounds emitted from the crack as a unique sound boomed in the Chaos Heavens.

It was vast and ethereal, the heaviness of history and time in their entirety.

After the Chaos Heavens’ response, the rumbling crack grew in intensity and, in a blink of an eye, a black hole appeared in the crack.

The Ancestor God instantly stood up. He could sense a familiar yet alien aura from the crack.

It’s Yi Yun? He’s still not dead!?
