1574 Ensure the victory

Most of the members of the Soul Clan, Devouring Clan, Black Demon Clan, and Ancient Monster Clan were sealed in that amber space. The battle with equal forces had lost its balance in just a blink of an eye. If this battle continued like this, it wasn't hard to imagine the result: the four clans' warriors would be erased!

Even Beverly, one of the Ten Great Territory Ancestors, the leader of the Ancient Monster Clan, was sealed there too. Without her, Edgar, Serene Prison, and Rupert would fall into a dangerous situation.

Slosh! Slosh!

The water murmured and Yuan inside the black water shrank rapidly. As the turtle was reducing its size, the black water was also sucked into its terrifying body little by little.

Shortly, Yuan disappeared, and Yuan Zu, its human clone, appeared on a river.

He lifted his head to look at the dim shadow of a snake in the sky, gazing at Zi Yao on the host snake with a dark and cold face while speaking, "We don't need to continue this war. We're leaving."

Edgar, Serene Prison, and Rupert wore a heavy face, wincing while checking their subordinates.

During this battle, their clans had to bear a significant loss. The ones in the seal were their key members. As they were frozen now, they would never be able to get rid of it.

Quite the contrary, Han Tian, Hiro, and the other members of their clans were stirred up by the powerful aura. They wanted to hunt the four clans to their last member. They were actually more eager in this battle.

This war wasn't in their control anymore. If they lingered, all of their fellows would have to bury their bodies here.

Edgar, Serene Prison, and Rupert nodded as they acknowledged their defeat. They wanted to leave this battlefield with Yuan Zu.

"It's not easy to leave." Hiro of the White Bone Clan was like a glowing sharp sword, locking the other three. Han Tian and Judy sneered simultaneously while gesturing. The Mysterious Sky Clan warriors gathered in response, their soul altars floating up into the sky while releasing an immense, endless energy.

"None of you has reached the Third Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. Do you think you can stop me?" Yuan Zu snorted. The black river underneath him suddenly stretched deep into the Sea Domain of Nihility. The rolling stream emitted the marvelous fluctuations of the most fundamental Water power Upanishad. As soon as Edgar, Serene Prison, Rupert, and their subordinates stepped into the river, Yuan Zu's power protected them all.

That river elongated endlessly like a black band of fabric, then took the warriors except for Edgar, Rupert, and Yuan Zu, flowing away rapidly. Yuan Zu and the three experts stood on one end of the river, protecting the others.

Han Tian, Judy, Hiro, and Montecie felt Yuan Zu's terrifying aura from that water stream. They were a little shaken so they didn't take action but looked at Zi Yao in the sky and Shi Yan, who was not far from them…

Zi Yao sat neatly on her purple crystal throne, observing everything as she spoke indifferently, "Let him go."

Everybody turned to Shi Yan who grinned evilly, "Let them go…"

Han Tian and the others didn't talk more. With a cold face, they watched the enemies leave as no one stopped them. Shortly, the warriors of the four clans were delivered deep into the void by the black river. Yuan Zu and Serene Prison raked their eyes across the crowd before stepping on the river and flowing away.

After that river disappeared completely, Zi Yao's snake body shrank into a green light dot, disappearing into her glabella. Slowly, she descended from the void, her body gracefully pretty. "Yuan's pretty powerful. It didn't bear any damage from the last bloody battle of the Absolute Beginning Era. After so many years of accumulation, it's truly scary. It's really bad that it's not talented at all. Although it has mastered subtle conspiracy skills, it didn't spend efforts on cultivating and battling. Thus, even if it has a lot of energy, its realm isn't high enough…"

Zi Yao turned to look at the crowd. "If we don't force it too much, the threat won't be terrifying. When it feels its life threatened, it will burst out the energy it has accumulated over billions of years. At that time, except for the Territory Ancestor Realm experts, no one on our side would be able to stay alive."

Hearing her, Han Tian and the others turned embarrassed, their doubts vanishing.

"The Third Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm is the utmost realm in this world. At the same time, Yuan's an Absolute Beginning creature. The energy it has can destroy dozens of territories. Once it bursts out, unless you are at the same realm, not many people can endure that," Zi Yao said calmly.

The others nodded inwardly. They didn't continue the topic as they recognized that they were just dizzy because of the sudden victory.

"The victory is ensured. Next, we must try our best to gain more benefits," Zi Yao smiled, her bright eyes gazing at Shi Yan as she talked tenderly. "Shi Yan will take you to get the fruits of our victory. A Second Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm expert who cultivates Space power Upanishad is the nightmare of any enemy!"

Everybody couldn't help but turn to look at him as well.

Shi Yan laughed, talking deliberately, "The entrance to the Soul Clan is open. The three territory souls Serene Prison has labored to breed for ten thousand years have been captured. The cultivating materials they have accumulated for tens of thousands of years should be cleared by now. Aimar and Mei Ji, I guess they are attacking the Black Demon Clan and Ancient Monster Clan now…"

Han Tian, Hiro, and Montecie were so happy that they couldn't hold back their crazy laughter.

"Although Yuan Zu's formidable, he hasn't comprehended the Space power Upanishad. At their speed, even if they know their clans have been plundered, they can't return in a short while." Shi Yan's face turned evilly cold. "But, I can deliver you to outside the Black Demon Clan and Ancient Monster Clan in just a blink of an eye. By the time they reach their homes, our business would be done already."

Everybody had their eyes brightened on hearing that.

Meanwhile, Shi Yan closed his eyes and a dazzling space mirror flew out of his glabella, which then spun and reflected many different illusional spaces. Space light radiated from these spaces and slowly turned into three passages.

"They lead to the Black Demon Clan and Ancient Monster Clan. It depends on you guys to break the barriers out there," said Shi Yan.

Han Tian, Hiro, and Montecie exchanged looks, then roared happily as they assigned their experts to head toward the two space passages. A large force of the Mysterious Sky Clan and White Bone Clan disappeared into the passages. After they moved through the passage, they could see Mei Ji and Emperor Sea Shark.

Shortly after, except for that amber sealed space, only Shi Yan and Zi Yao were left in the Volcano Cloud Sea.

"This spacetime seal is really fierce, as even Yuan couldn't break it. As a matter of fact, I can't break it either." Zi Yao looked pensive as she observed the eternal seal. "It's a miracle made by you and that little girl. The later generations will come and behold it."

"Actually, I don't think I can create another miracle like this," Shi Yan frowned. "Besides God power and the resonance between the power Upanishads, rare encounters and destiny are required as well. I believe Montecie has the same thought as me. We understand that we won't be able to create this sort of a miracle one more time."

"You're right! Many magical supernatural abilities need luck to be cast," Zi Yao nodded, changing the topic. "How much energy have you collected this time?"

Shi Yan didn't answer, just smiled and closed his eyes.

In this spacious battlefield, corpses were scattered everywhere while so many pieces of broken battleships hovered everywhere. Suddenly, seven devouring black holes emerged, revolving terribly with the immense and fierce energy that was mixed and polluted with negative energies and dregs. 

It was waiting to be filtered and refined into pure energy.

There were numerous broken pieces of souls from the Mysterious Sky Clan, White Bone Clan, and Heavenly Craftsmen Clan. As their souls exploded, those pieces were just bits of memory covered in energy, having no chance to revive.

"That's a part of the Mysterious Sky Clan and White Bone Clan's members. Although they're dead, it's not good to let Han Tian and Hiro see me absorb them. So, I have to wait for them to leave first," Shi Yan explained.

Zi Yao smiled and nodded. "Right, they were their fellows! Although they are dead, in the others' hearts, they should rest in peace. They think like that because their vision is narrow. After all, in this world, when the creatures die, their souls will vanish, becoming heaven and earth energy one more time…"

Seven black holes slowly turned into seven ink-black orbs, disappearing into his glabella.

His face twisted, taking a deep breath. "Not bad! I got a relatively big harvest this time. Seems like only bloody battles can facilitate my breakthrough faster."

"What you can do…Devour can as well. The great war has happened in this era, so it won't stay idle." Zi Yao looked gloomy, "After it returned to the Devouring Clan, its power is slowly recovering. The members of the Devouring Clan have captured creatures in the territories they control for it to swallow. If it recovers to a certain level, it won't be afraid of the experts of the seven clans. Then, it will leave the lair and swallow the vast sea of stars. I have a premonition that it would seize a chance and attack…"

"Of course, we will have a fight. My Devouring power Upanishad comes from it. Only refining it will make me the only expert who possesses the Devouring power Upanishad!" Shi Yan talked harshly.

"The light column from the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower is your key to victory!" Zi Yao's eyes brightened. "It's the light that helped you get rid of Zhen Ru's invasion. I heard that it's the light from Absolute Beginning's eyes when it awoke and opened its eyes for the first time. One of the main materials to build the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower is the Absolute Beginning Eye…"
