Sacred Ancestor Kui Ye had used the Ghost Dance of the Night to split from one to three.
Even with Long Chen and the others' current strength, they couldn't tell which of the three Sacred Ancestors were real and which were fake. Each of them was as capable as the original Sacred Ancestor Ke Ye.
"Either his power is split, or one is real and two are illusory. If he can really split himself into three, and each of them is guaranteed to be the same as before, then before the epoch, his name would definitely be like thunder in my ears."
Kitten explained.
"It could also be a high-intensity attack. After all, it's the rules. I'm afraid he won't be able to last long."
As they conversed, the three Darknight Sacred Patriarchs stepped forward, splitting the world essence into three parts.
"Die!"
Ling Xi and Mo Xiaolang instantly disappeared from Long Chen's sight due to the other party's Law of Darkness. All he could see and feel was the endless darkness.
The dark night rippled like the ocean.
"In my Curtain of Darkness, don't even think of leaving. Just stay here obediently."
It was as if Godancestor Dark Night had vanished into thin air. However, his boundless World Genesis power continued to vibrate within the curtain of darkness, locking down Long Chen. Although it wasn't enough to injure Long Chen, it was enough to trap Long Chen.
"What do you want to do?"
"You will find out very soon." Sacred Ancestor Ke Ye's cold voice echoed in the endless night.
"You."
Long Chen figured it out. He wasn't Long Chen's target. Now that Long Chen had trapped him, it was obvious that Long Chen wanted to focus on attacking someone else. It was either Lingxi or Mo Xiaolang.
With the Three Lives Thread of Love, Long Chen could clearly switch to Lingxi's side. From Lingxi's perspective, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were both entangled by the curtain of darkness, just like how the Greed Wolf Star Ancestor was tightly bound by the curtain of darkness.
The eighth era's Ancestral God's World Source was indeed powerful in this aspect.
However, Lingxi's treatment was different. It was obvious that the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor was targeting her.
He had used the eighth era's World Source to trap Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, and even the two identities of the Dark Night Ghost Dance had entered the Curtain of Darkness, leaving their true bodies behind. Facing him alone, the current Lingxi was no match for him.
"Despicable."
In this way, Long Chen was actually locked by the Curtain of Darkness. He couldn't open the Death Realm to let Lingxi go back first. He couldn't even rescue her. At this time, Lingxi was in a very dangerous state.
"I've underestimated the eighth era's Ancestral God …"
Long Chen thought of this in the face of this endless and perhaps unbreakable darkness.
"Your opponent is me."
A figure of the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor appeared in the boundless darkness, smiling strangely at Long Chen.
In the outside world, the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor was in no hurry to attack. Instead, he pressured Lingxi and said angrily, "I'll give you one last chance. As long as you help me break this curse, I'll let you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for having you under my control for the rest of your life."
Ling Xi saw that both Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were trapped and entangled by the curtain of darkness, but she was not the slightest bit alarmed. Under Long Chen's instructions, she tried her best to stall for time. She said, "It's not that I don't want to, but this process is extremely difficult and I don't have much confidence in succeeding. If I fail … it might lead to the destruction of your world's origin … so please don't force me."
The Dark Night Sacred Ancestor was very excited to hear this. He hurriedly said, "You mean you can really break this curse?"
He wanted to break the curse and find a place to hide. When the time came, the survival of myriad worlds would have nothing to do with him.
While Lingxi was trying to stall for time, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were fighting the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor's clone within the Curtain of Darkness.
"Dragonqilin's Fury."
Because the opponent was a clone and not the main body, the laws had no effect on him.
Long Chen turned into the Primeval Sacrificial Dragon during the fierce battle.
"Destruction Dragonball."
The nine-colored stars rumbled as the gigantic Dragon Pearl bombarded the endless darkness. It instantly exploded, causing the endless darkness to be torn apart.
From the outside, one could see the Curtain of Darkness on Long Chen's side trembling violently and shooting out rays of light. However, it seemed like it wouldn't be easy for Long Chen to break free.
On the other side, the Curtain of Darkness was also burning. It was caused by Mo Xiaolang's seven ancestral flames.
The Dark Night Sacred Ancestor's maniacal laughter rang out amidst the endless destruction. "What, Long Chen? You claim to be the Lord of myriad worlds, but is this all you've got? Why don't you show me some tricks and break my Curtain of Darkness? I don't think you'll be able to break it even if I give you three days, but your woman won't be able to last that long.
Unless you know what's good for you. "
Long Chen was infuriated by the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor's suppression, but he had to admit that the eighth era's origin source was really difficult to deal with. Even the Destruction Dragonball couldn't tear it apart.
Outside, under the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor's interrogation, Lingxi could only say, "I can promise you that I'll give it a try, but before that, you have to let them out."
The Dark Night Sacred Ancestor laughed. "Are you kidding me? If they come out, do you think I'll have anything to use against you? I think you don't want to compromise, so you're just stalling for time. Fine, you won't compromise if I don't teach you a lesson. Once I bring you into the Evernight Tomb, you'll be under my control forever and become my slave. I want to see if you'll behave yourself then."
Divine Ancestor Ke Ye did not hesitate at all. The Curtain of Darkness was now divided into three parts, and the one in his hand was the largest. He unfurled the Curtain of Darkness in his hand, revealing a vague tombstone on top of the black cloth.
"Enter the Evernight Tomb. The eighth era's Ancestral God has yet to be freed. I'll take you away so that you'll never be able to see Long Chen again."
The Evernight Tomb was undoubtedly a terrifying law of the eighth era's Ancestral God. Lingxi and Long Chen were acutely aware of its terror.
"If Lingxi is trapped, she'll be completely under his control and we'll lose the initiative."
The rage and killing intent in Long Chen's heart reached a peak in no time. In all honesty, the thing he hated the most in his life was when someone attacked his woman. He'd always felt that the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor had gone overboard, but now, the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor had provoked Long Chen's murderous intent.
"You asked for it. You should've compromised earlier. Why did you make me angry? You won't even have the chance to beg for mercy now," the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor said coldly to Long Chen.
"Lifeless Realm, Lifeless Scripture."
Lingxi wasn't afraid of the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor. She calmly exerted her law and instantly brought the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor into the Lifeless Realm. The Lifeless Realm was filled with countless curses. The world collapsed, and the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor fell into the bombardment of countless curses.
Unexpectedly, the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor danced around the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor and rushed out of the Lifeless Realm. With his wanton laughter, the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor became much clearer.
The Evernight Tomb was like a bottomless abyss, filled with too much coldness, darkness, and chaos.
Countless ghosts shrieked miserably in it.
It was simply a nightmare of the night.
"Chen …"
Lingxi was a bit scared.
"Give me ten seconds."
At this moment, the violent Long Chen in the Dark Night Sacred Ancestor calmed down under the tremendous pressure and endless killing intent. His calmness was accompanied by extreme killing intent.
At the moment when his beloved was in danger, Long Chen suddenly recalled the hundreds of years of thinking and efforts on the fourth floor of the tower of time. Finally, he touched the tip of the iceberg of the Killing Rule.
Perhaps it was because he had been thinking hard and lacked a strong killing intent, so he could only see the outline of the nomological laws. At this moment, the iceberg exploded under the impact of Long Chen's strong killing intent. Ice and snow filled the sky, and only a fiery, blood-red heart fell into Long Chen's hand.
This was the entirety of this rule.
A bloodthirsty, fiery heart, the purest killing intent.
In the process of fighting for the Myriad Realms, Long Chen had gained numerous understandings about killing, which were all condensed in this rule.
Killing meant sacrificing one's life for righteousness.
Killing meant harming oneself rather than killing the enemy.
Killing meant risking one's life in order to achieve the most ferocious outburst.
It was like the shattering of the iceberg and the thunders.
Blood-colored lightning flashed across Long Chen's heart. A brand new rule that surpassed the level of God and Ancestor was born in his heart. At that moment, the Slaughter Dao Seal gave out a brilliant light that could penetrate everything. Its brilliance even overshadowed the other Dao Seals.
Through protection and brutality, Long Chen found his own definition of killing.
Surrounded by countless blood-colored lightning bolts was a pure blood-colored longsword. Although it wasn't real, Long Chen was in awe of its sharpness. This was a blood-colored sword that abandoned everything for the sake of killing the enemy. It was the ultimate madness and the ultimate destruction.
Each of the blood-colored lightning bolts represented the end of one's destiny. Each lightning bolt was filled with overwhelming hatred and fury.
Within the blood-colored longsword, the killing intent was burning like fire. A blood-colored dragon was roaring within it.
"Kill."
The simple word "kill" expressed the true essence of this rule.
It was this rule that allowed Long Chen's understanding of the Slaughter Dao Seal to leap across the chasm.
In the endless night, he was enveloped by the blood-colored light, which made him stand out even more. His body was burning with bloody flames, and his monstrous killing intent made the world tremble. It even broke through to the outside world. It was just that Sacred Ancestor Night Evernight, who was using the Evernight Graveyard, didn't notice.
