“Who dares disturb my ancient upper realm!!”
The blood-red giant face opened its eyes, releasing a terrifying oppressive aura that made one feel as if drowning, suffocating at any moment.
Even Chen Yi, a Martial God, found the aura emitted by this blood-red giant face unbearably oppressive.
This was a power never before seen, one that did not belong to this era.
Yet, Chen Yi was fearless!
Next to the blood-red giant face, the label “Civil War Phantom God” marked its weakness:
A remnant soul and will, existing only by relying on the Ancient Wilderness Secret Realm. If the Ancient Wilderness Secret Realm is destroyed, it will vanish as well. Attempt to use the “Entry Slingshot” and the “Vehicle Killer” to strike it.
Could it really be defeated so easily with the “Entry Slingshot”?
Although the giant face was truly massive, it wouldn’t foolishly stand still and take the hit. To use the slingshot effectively, one had to wait for the safest opportunity.
Because this was reality — there was only one chance!
Chen Yi glanced at the Great Demon beside him.
The Great Demon felt uneasy under Chen Yi’s gaze.
“Kid, you’re not thinking of running now, are you? I’m betting everything on this!” he growled.
“You’ll need to play your part soon.”
“Explain.”
Chen Yi tossed a sound-transmitting talisman to the Great Demon, sealing his words inside to avoid being overheard by the blood-red giant face.
Of course, this talisman was sponsored by Old Shen.
The Great Demon understood immediately.
Chen Yi planted his feet firmly on the ground, chest out and head held high, and shouted with authority:
“Hey, you with the big face! Who exactly are you?”
The blood-red giant face turned its gaze to Chen Yi.
“I am the Ancient Soldier appointed by the Human Ancestor! The only remaining Huangbing in this world!”
This surprised Chen Yi somewhat.
“Didn’t expect such an ancient relic to still have a way to survive.”
This Huangbing was not alive in the conventional sense.
It had just been awakened by the recent sacrifice of the divine rune.
Moreover, it had no human form.
The Huangbing’s gaze swept the surroundings, instantly perceiving everything.
“The day has come at last. The outside world has finally realized the path to Ascension.”
The Great Demon snorted coldly.
“Good that you know! Hand over the Ascension Path quickly, or I’ll slaughter everyone inside here!”
Suddenly, the Huangbing opened its mouth wide, unleashing a devastating torrent of dark red light that shattered the Great Demon’s aura on the spot!
“Great Demon!”
The Great Demon couldn’t dodge. At his feet, numerous ghostly hands clad in decayed armor emerged, grabbing him tightly and forcing him to endure the blow head-on.
The Sun-Moon Tower appeared from within the aura.
“Ouch~ It’s okay, it’s okay~ Just a little bit more~”
The Sun-Moon Tower protected the core of the Great Demon’s soul.
The Great Demon reassembled his aura, but he looked much weaker now.
Inside the Cauldron Realm, Yi Chengsheng and four others were ecstatic, their faces alight with excitement.
“Hahaha! Hua Wuyan! You brought out old relics like Li Wentian, the Great Demon, and Patriarch Shen, thinking we don’t have any? This is our ancestor, a hundred times stronger than yours!!”
Hua Wuyan shot a sharp glance at Yi Chengsheng on the ground.
“Shut up.”
Hua Wuyan tapped Yi Chengsheng’s mouth with her cane, causing him to curse loudly in pain.
Seeing the Great Demon defeated by a single strike, Hua Wuyan grew worried.
“I have to go help them.”
Shen Yang assured her that he would watch over things here, so Hua Wuyan could leave without worry.
Hua Wuyan stepped out of the Cauldron Realm, locking eyes with the massive, intimidating face of Huangbing.
“Protector of the Dao in this era.”
“Exactly.”
“At this point, if you don’t want the human realm to be reduced to ashes and the strong to fall, then accept the fact that the path to immortality is unique to our realm. As a Protector of the Dao, do you really want to see the worst outcome?”
“Huangbing, they say you are the most loyal guardians of the human race. Yet ironically, you have become their greatest betrayers and oppressors, monopolizing the path to immortality and severing humanity’s chance at transcendence!”
“Endless ages ago, the Progenitor of Humanity ventured into the Real Realm.
He left behind a path he created himself, telling us to guard it steadfastly. One day, he would return along this path, take us with him, and together we would share the immortal paradise and eternal life!
But what happened?
We waited and waited, watching brother after brother close their eyes and be buried in the soil, yet no sign of him ever came!
The Progenitor abandoned us!
The path to immortality was left to us by the Progenitor, and it belongs solely to our Huangbing lineage!!”
Chen Yi couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
“I’ve realized the Progenitor wasn’t very good at judging people. Turns out, you guys were selfish from the very beginning. You hold a grudge just because he didn’t take you along.
Besides, the path to immortality is in your hands, isn’t it? If you want to go to the Real Realm, then go! Why wait for the Progenitor?
Oh, is it because you’re not capable enough to traverse the path?
Ridiculous.”
The brutal truth hit Huangbing hard. His huge face twisted into a furious snarl.
“You brat! What right do you have to criticize us? I am your ancestor, the very progenitor of the human realm today!”
Chen Yi laughed heartily, pointing at Huangbing with scorn.
“You may be the ancestor of anyone else, but you will never be my ancestor!!”
In terms of body, Chen Yi was a villager from Luoding Village, and the Nine Provinces Cauldron was their true ancestor!
In terms of soul, Chen Yi came from Earth, where the Red Banner flies high, and Yan and Huang are his true ancestors!
So his words were heartfelt and resolute, each syllable ringing with conviction!
Tensions escalated; it was obvious that negotiation was no longer an option.
Huangbing’s face darkened with murderous intent. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, unleashing a torrent of dark red energy that tore through space, surging toward Chen Yi.
At the same time, numerous large hands clad in decayed armor emerged beneath Chen Yi’s feet, firmly pinning him in place.
Chen Yi now understood — these hands belonged to the long-dead Huangbing warriors!
“Chen Yi!”
Hua Wuyan immediately moved to intervene and save him.
But Chen Yi suddenly stretched out his palm toward Hua Wuyan.
“No need.”
“What?”
Before Hua Wuyan could finish, Huangbing’s attack struck Chen Yi, engulfing him instantly.
The ground beneath Chen Yi shattered in an instant, dissolving into a chaotic spatial vortex, with the human realm just on the other side.
“Hmph, brat, all your sharp words are just empty boasts…”
Huangbing hadn’t even savored his moment of triumph before he saw Chen Yi standing there, completely unharmed.
“How is this possible?!”
Huangbing and the Great Demon exclaimed in unison.
Huangbing was stunned that his killing blow had failed.
The Great Demon was shocked that an attack strong enough to overwhelm him barely left a speck of dust on Chen Yi’s clothes!
Why?
Let me tell you loudly — this Huangbing is nothing but a lingering soul!
Plus!
The power of the Blood Sacrifice Divine Rune!
At its core, still just a lingering soul!
As long as he’s not in a physical form, this “Materialist Warrior” is here to teach him a lesson!
Completely immune to damage, and every move hits with a special attack!
Chen Yi flicked his wrist, a mocking grin spreading across his face as he looked at Huangbing.
“My turn.”
He was supposed to play the role of an old-school traditionalist, but he just couldn’t pull it off.
When Chen Yi tried to strike back, throwing a punch to test his opponent’s strength, Huangbing’s massive face shifted freely within the Ancient Wilderness Realm.
His reflexes were faster than Chen Yi’s attacks, always keeping a distance of over a thousand meters between them.
This was exactly what Chen Yi had feared.
The Entry Slingshot could never hit him.
Good thing he hadn’t rashly used the Entry Slingshot earlier—otherwise, his only chance would have been lost.
“You brat! What exactly are you?” Huangbing roared.
“I’m your ancestor!!” Chen Yi shot back.
He pressed on relentlessly, searching for an opening.
Meanwhile, the Great Demon had already transformed into a malevolent aura, slipping underground...
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?
