Chapter 1668: Visitors From the Yu Clan
In the blink of an eye, the third year of Xiang Shaoyun's seclusion arrived. There were four years left before the battle for the young guild master position would begin. During the past year, one major event had happened. Blood Spirit had entered the Devil Domain and slaughtered a large number of devils, alarming the devil experts from the Devil Domain's sixth layer. Even the seventh layer sent some experts out to hunt down Blood Spirit.
It was a pity that Blood Spirit was incredibly capable. After entering the God Realm, he became even stronger. After fusing with numerous devil bloodlines, he grew further, reaching a level where barely any devil could be a match for him.
If he was allowed to grow unchecked, it would only be a matter of time before he became the strongest person in existence. Both humans and devils issued the highest bounty for Blood Spirit, determined to not allow him to continue living on.
Over the past year, Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and Devouring Ghost had broken through yet again to enter the God Realm. After Yu Caidie's breakthrough, she had directly advanced to peak first-stage Rebirth Realm. She fully fused with the strength she had carried over from her previous life, granting her incredible combat strength. When the Yu Clan learned of that, they sent several batches of people to bring her back to the clan.
For any organization, an expert would serve as an anchor. Devil Concubine had returned to the Darkdevil Sect before attempting her breakthrough. After all, that was where she was born, and they had long prepared the best breakthrough resources for her. She had also obtained the help of the celestial darkdevil tree, which granted her comprehension of numerous abilities of the dark element.
Although she was only a brand new God, she was strong enough to fight against a second-stage God. After all, she had one of the strongest physiques in existence, the Yin Yang Physique.
Devouring Ghost was also someone who had the accumulated experience of two lives. His breakthrough was smooth, and although he didn't have a powerful physique, his rich experience still granted him amazing combat strength.
Their breakthroughs had elevated the Ziling Sect's strength to a brand new level.
However, the sect still didn't have enough strength. The Yu Clan eventually sent an old ancestor to the sect. The old ancestor was extremely strong, and he alone came to retrieve Yu Caidie. Both Purple Lightning Marquis and Xiang Yangzhan showed up to meet the old ancestor and immediately sensed an unparalleled strength from him.
The old ancestor had an unassuming appearance. Clad in a gray robe, he stood on empty air. It was as though he had become one with the world around him. He looked at Purple Lightning Marquis calmly and said, "Young Purple Lightning, it has been many years. I did not expect that you would have improved so much."
Purple Lightning Marquis appeared slightly fearful as he said, "So it's Third Yu Ancestor. It truly has been a while."
The old man was the third ancestor of the Yu Clan, a peak seventh-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator. He was one of those who were against Yu Caidie's relationship with Xiang Dingtian 10,000 years ago during her previous life. At the time, he wasn't this strong. It seemed like he had grown even stronger after 10,000 years. After entering the God Realm, even a tiny bit of growth would be incredibly difficult. That applied to even the most talented of cultivators.
"Call Caidie out. You can't stop me," said Third Yu Ancestor calmly.
"Don't even dream of taking my daughter-in-law away," objected Xiang Yangzhan unhesitatingly.
"Back then, you couldn't stop Overlord. Now, you came to interfere in their relationship again. Are you not afraid that history will repeat?" said Purple Lightning Marquis.
"Hehe, I'm no longer the same person. Xiang Dingtian died long ago. As for you guys, you won't be able to go far," said Third Yu Ancestor with a sneer.
"In that case, let me see just what you're capable of, Third Yu Ancestor," said Purple Lightning Marquis as his hair started wildly flipping about.
Divine Hundred Lightning Punch!
He held nothing back as countless lightning fists transformed into an ocean of lightning that madly bombarded Third Yu Ancestor.
Purple Lightning Marquis had the strength to punch above his class. He did not need to fear even Gods with cultivations higher than his. However, he also knew that Third Yu Ancestor was someone who had once been able to match the Overlord. Of course, he had suffered a slight defeat, but that was many years ago. He was probably even scarier now.
Unsurprisingly, Third Yu Ancestor showed no fear of Purple Lightning Marquis's punch. He opened one of his palms and unleashed a massive palm that covered the entire lightning attack and erased everything.
"You might have improved a lot, but you are far from enough to stop me," said Third Yu Ancestor coldly. He transformed into a phantom and appeared behind Purple Lightning Marquis with a flicker before jabbing at Purple Lightning Marquis with his finger.
God Breaking Finger!
The finger moved without a trace, instantly leaving a bloody hole in Purple Lightning Marquis's back, spilling his blood. Naturally, Xiang Yangzhan wouldn't do anything while Purple Lightning Marquis was being injured. With his lightning spear in his hand, he charged Third Yu Ancestor.
The lightning spear summoned numerous lightning bolts from the sky, encompassing the entire area in lightning. Deafening thunder rumbled on and on as the entire area was bathed in terrifying destruction.
"Too weak," remarked Third Yu Ancestor indifferently as he casually swept his hand, instantly erasing a massive amount of lightning. He left only a tiny bit of lightning energy that was too weak to harm him. The ease with which he had accomplished the feat truly made him look undefeatable.
"Is that so? Give this technique a taste," said Xiang Yangzhan with a sneer. A terrifying power erupted from his body, and his lightning spear transformed into an unknown alien. His spear charged ahead.
Instant Lightning Eel Kill!
That was one of Xiang Yangzhan's gains from the ancient coffin. He had obtained the innate ability of the God Realm lightning eel, an alien species. In his lightning spear was the soul of a lightning eel. The lightning eel was a species innately intimate with the power of lightning. It could move through the air like a bolt of lightning and unleash incomparably domineering attacks.
Third Yu Ancestor had not expected that Xiang Yangzhan would be able to erupt with such formidable strength. The lightning spear reached his chest before he could even react, and it left a bloody hole.
At the same time, Purple Lightning Marquis charged over and then swept his purple lightning spear at Third Yu Ancestor. Both his hands were gripping the spear tightly. Countless god-grade electrical currents trailed alongside the spear as though an entire ocean of lightning had descended from the sky. The attack was domineering and terrifying.
Rumble! Rumble!
Two different lightning attacks descended and created endless explosions. It was as though the world itself wept the destruction of this place.
"Both of you, piss off!" Third Yu Ancestor roared as a dreadful flaming bird soared into the sky. Instantly, the surrounding lightning was destroyed. The flaming bird charged toward both Purple Lightning Marquis and Xiang Yangzhan at the same time, moving at a momentum that made it hard for them to resist.
Both were sent retreating while coughing blood. However, neither was an ordinary person. Just as they were about to launch even fiercer attacks at Third Yu Ancestor, a beautiful figure appeared and said, "Third ancestor, I'll go with you. Stop."
That person was none other than Yu Caidie, who had recently broken through into the God Realm. She looked as flawless as ever, emanating the grace of a goddess. She was a truly peerless beauty, and it was no wonder that Xiang Shaoyun could never forget her.
