Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 341

Chapter 341 Tenfold Combat Power, Emperor!

With the Heavenly Lord’s explanation, the two newly awakened Old Ancestors of the Heavenly Palace also understood the whole sequence of events.

While they slept, the Heavenly Palace had acquired a great enemy!

And now that great enemy had struck the Heavenly Palace headquarters itself!

Of course, they cared nothing for the Palace’s life or death; even if all the venerables died, even if everyone perished, they would not spare a glance!

But delaying their ascension plan—that they could not tolerate!

If this dragged on any longer, their lifespans would reach their end!

After learning the cause of it all, the two Old Ancestors turned their gazes to the Vault of Heaven.

“This fellow is unusually powerful, able to fight Old Five and Old Six at the same time!”

“No wonder he’s reduced my Heavenly Palace to this—he truly has some strength.”

“Alas, destiny cannot be defied. A single person’s strength—do they think they can shake destiny?”

“What a fanciful notion!!!”

“What a deluded fantasy!”

The two Old Ancestors said coldly, then took a step and appeared on the battlefield.

With the two newly awakened Old Ancestors of the Heavenly Palace joining the fray, the great battle paused for a time.

“Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you’ve awakened too??”

Seeing these two, the Fifth Ancestor’s expression shifted—were they coming to steal his prey?

“Old Five, Old Six, we have come to help you take this man down.”

The Heavenly Palace’s Fourth Ancestor spoke, his face calm, seemingly unaware there was anything odd about saying this.

“You flatter us, Fourth Brother. The two of us taking this one down would be as easy as flipping a hand—what need have we of elder brothers’ help?”

The Heavenly Palace’s Fifth Ancestor furrowed his brow and spoke displeasedly.

Just a raw youngster—does he need their elder brothers to show up in person?

If they let them intervene, four against one, where would his dignity be?

Even if they won, outsiders would only see the many bullying the few.

“Heavenly Dao Sect’s Su Bai, I have a word—please listen quietly.”

The Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor looked at Su Bai and said calmly.

“Oh? What is it?”

“Su Bai” raised an eyebrow and asked.

Among the four Supremes of the Heavenly Palace before him, this Third Ancestor was the strongest!

Moreover, these figures… he was familiar with them!

They all appeared within the Heart Demon World!

“Our Heavenly Palace will unify the human race, suppress the Demon Realm, forge the Immortal Cauldron, and ascend in the appointed time!”

“This is destiny’s decree, recognized by the great Dao. You, as a Supreme, have cultivated for many years and understand this truth.”

“Why then act contrary to Heaven and make an enemy of our Heavenly Palace?”

“Why not join us? Then we shall ascend together, achieve true immortal form, and roam freely between Heaven and Earth—what joy that would be.”

The Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor spoke persuasively, attempting to persuade Su Bai to pledge himself to the Heavenly Palace.

“Heh heh………”

At these words, Su Bai merely laughed.

“And who would I be, hearing endless talk of destiny’s decree? Where has that Holy City Lord who once vowed to lead the human race to defy Heaven gone now?”

Su Bai spoke, revealing a distant truth that few knew.

The Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor before him was, in fact, the former City Lord of the Human Holy City!

He and the Heavenly Palace’s Sixth Ancestor had both been the human race’s strongest at that time—venerables at the peak of greatness.

“What—how do you know my identity?”

At these words, the Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor stared fixedly at Su Bai!

After all, this identity was known across All Under Heaven only to a few—chiefly the Supremes of the Heavenly Palace themselves!

Because that was so far in the past—ten thousand years ago—no one knew it except these few Supremes.

Not even the Heavenly Lord knew of his former identity!

“I not only know you, but I also know you—the grand venerable of subduing demons who used to charge to the front every time the city gate opened!”

Su Bai’s gaze then turned to the Heavenly Palace’s Fourth Ancestor.

After that, he looked at the Fifth Ancestor and said, “The human race’s greatest prodigy of old, upon whom everyone pinned their hopes, they believed you would eventually step into the rank of Heavenly Venerable.”

As for the Sixth Ancestor, he said nothing.

Nor did he need to.

At these words, the three Old Ancestors of the Heavenly Palace all changed expression dramatically.

Su Bai knew their identities so clearly!!!

Could it be that Su Bai was not from this era either, and had come from ten thousand years ago?

Had he lived for ten thousand years?

“Do not speak of those old days. I am not the Holy City Lord; I am the Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor!”

“The grand venerable of subduing demons died long ago. I am the Heavenly Palace’s Fourth Ancestor!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Fourth Ancestor snorted coldly, directly denying that history.

“In my eyes there is only longevity!” the Fifth Ancestor also declared.

People change!!

The reason the Heaven-Defying Sect collapsed was not that outsiders were too strong.

At that time the Heaven-Defying Sect was the human race’s foremost sect, gathering nearly all of the human realm’s strongest.

Its collapse was an internal collapse!

It was also a collapse of their morals!

Erasing the Heaven-Defying Sect’s history was like hiding their past!

“Only when one’s lifespan is nearly spent does one understand that glory, righteousness, and All Under Heaven mean nothing—only living matters!!!”

“If you die, you have nothing; everything ceases to exist!”

“Enough talk. Our ways diverge; we cannot work together. Whoever obstructs our ascension plan—no matter who they are—must die!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Fifth, Fourth, and Third Ancestors spoke, sneering; their resolve was absolute!

“Since none of you will turn back, then fight!!!”

Su Bai shook his head—there was nothing more to say.

When facing life and death, everyone chooses differently!

Those who remained steadfast in their convictions had already been eliminated by them four thousand years ago!

Four thousand years ago, these Old Ancestors of the Heavenly Palace were the human race’s protectors!

But four thousand years later, they became the chief culprits who brought chaos upon the world!

“Boom!”

“Rumble!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Third and Fourth Ancestors fully broke their seals; their overwhelming auras shook the world, proclaiming the return of supreme sovereigns.

The three surrounded Su Bai, intent on killing him and erasing the obstacle on their ascension road!

“Old Six, what are you waiting for? Strike together and slay him,” the Fifth Ancestor snorted.

The Heavenly Palace’s Sixth Ancestor looked at Su Bai and saw him still calm; he knew then that Su Bai did not fear their encirclement.

He immediately stepped forward as well, forming a pincer to block all of Su Bai’s escape routes.

“Su Bai, you have nowhere left to retreat—kill him!”

The Heavenly Palace’s Fifth Ancestor charged up first, intent on executing Su Bai.

“Who said I’m retreating?”

Su Bai smiled. He took a step forward, and his aura instantly became ten times more terrifying, reaching an almost unbelievable degree.

Divine Forbidden Domain—tenfold combat power!!!

Su Bai’s strength was not that of an ordinary Supreme to begin with, able to contend with the Heavenly Palace’s Fifth Ancestor and the casually fighting Sixth Ancestor combined.

Now, with a tenfold increase layered on top, his power became utterly terrifying.

A faint sensation—as if a barrier had been pierced—stepped into a realm of supreme nobility!

“This aura!!!”

Feeling that immeasurable presence, the Fourth, Fifth, and Third Ancestors all changed color, shaken to their cores.

Just as Heavenly Venerables divide into ordinary Heavenly Venerables and Invincible Heavenly Venerables,

the supreme realm likewise contains two domains.

One is the ordinary supreme, and the other is not merely an invincible supreme.

It is… the Emperor!

The emperor who reigns over all realms!!!
