Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha imprisoned Mo Xiaolang in this way in front of everyone after the ranking battle between the Ancestor Gods of the eighth era.
Not to mention Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, the others had never thought of it. Under the threat of the Sky-devouring Clan, Long Chen and all the Ancestor Gods were plunged into the shadow of death and despair at that moment. It was Mo Xiaolang who defeated the doomsday at that time and released the origin dragon soul of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon. That was how the myriad worlds and the Ancestor Gods were saved.
In terms of contribution to the myriad worlds, Mo Xiaolang was definitely not inferior to Long Chen.
However, Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha was imprisoning him.
Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha, who always had a smile on his face, did not even have that smile now. Because of his imprisonment, the 7,000 Ancestor Gods were in an uproar. Everyone was very puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"It's not a reward … Is this the reward?"
"It can't be."
"I heard that Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha is against Long Chen. Could it be that he …"
In the face of all these questions, it was clear that Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha had to give an explanation. At this time, Long Chen flew toward Mo Xiaolang without any regard for the consequences. He had some speculations about what had happened. This was something he had overlooked, but he had never thought of the difference between him and the Ancestor Gods.
At this moment, Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha said, "Everyone, quiet down. Let me explain."
Only then did the Ancestor Gods stop making noise. They craned their necks and waited for Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha's explanation.
"I think everyone can see that Mo Xiaolang actually doesn't have the origin of the world. He doesn't belong to the eighth era's Ancestor God. First of all, he doesn't have the origin of the world, so everyone will think that he is the Ancestor God of Destruction. But in fact, he is not. He doesn't have the origin of the world, but he has such power. So from the beginning, we have suspected him.
"During the doomsday battle, we saw him devouring a large amount of flames. Since the eighth era's Ancestor God ranking battle, we have found that he can devour flames and turn them into his own power. He has endless room for growth. All this shows that he is different from us Ancestor Gods. So the answer is quite obvious. He, Mo Xiaolang, is … the Sky-devouring Clan."
When he said the last three words, there was a huge uproar among the Ancestor Gods. Long Chen didn't expect that when they heard the words "Sky-devouring Clan", they would have such a huge reaction. There were expressions of horror, disgust, and even anger. There was even a strong killing intent in the eyes of almost every Ancestor God.
He didn't have the origin of the world, but he could strengthen himself by devouring. All these characteristics were almost no different from the Sky-devouring Clan.
Obviously, they didn't suspect it before, but after hearing Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha's explanation, the situation became very clear. Mo Xiaolang was definitely a member of the Sky-devouring Clan.
"I didn't expect him to be a member of the Sky-devouring Clan."
"The Sky-devouring Clan is the mortal enemy of all worlds. As long as they exist, they will be an endless source of trouble. We must eradicate them. How can we allow them to mingle among us and let them develop and grow stronger?"
"That's right."
For a moment, as Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha explained, there was a heated discussion among the Ancestor Gods. Everyone stared coldly at Mo Xiaolang. If he wasn't still in the birdcage, some of the Ancestor Gods would have attacked him.
In fact, the Ancestor Gods had lost their memories, so it wasn't easy for them to guess that Mo Xiaolang was a member of the Sky-devouring Clan. However, Long Chen and the others didn't pay much attention to this. He had always thought that he was the same as the Ancestor Gods. He had never doubted Mo Xiaolang and trusted him absolutely. However, the Ancestor Gods didn't seem to be the same.
They showed another extreme. They completely ignored Mo Xiaolang's contributions to them and the worlds. They only remembered his identity that terrified them.
The Sky-devouring Clan.
Therefore, the curses and discussions around him made Long Chen shiver. Long Chen certainly knew that this would be a big deal, a big trouble. Therefore, he couldn't care less about troubling others at this time. Primordial War Ancestor, Pangu Ancestor God, Hun Kun Ancestor God, and so on, he called all the Ancestor Gods who came to help.
"We let him fight the last battle so that we can confirm it in front of everyone. Now, there should be no more doubts about his identity as a member of the Sky-devouring Clan, right?"
Asked Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha.
"No."
A small number of Ancestor Gods didn't speak, but most of them shouted in unison, causing a thunderous rumble. Their thoughts made Long Chen very angry. He originally thought that most of the Ancestor Gods were good, but this time, a strong hostility and anger arose in his heart. Long Chen felt betrayed.
The betrayal of the Ancestor Gods.
The killing intent in their eyes was too irritating for Long Chen.
"Get lost."
Among the crowd, he was the only one who dashed towards Mo Xiaolang. He was not far away from Mo Xiaolang. At this moment, he arrived in front of Mo Xiaolang. Mo Xiaolang, who was in the birdcage, was also looking at him. Both of them exchanged a glance with a hint of helplessness in their eyes. Sometimes, they really overestimated the friendliness of the Ancestor God.
As a result, the difference was too great. His heart was filled with sorrow, but also anger.
Long Chen had never felt such intense hostility towards the Ancestor Gods before. Their faces were filled with disgust and fear, as if they hadn't cheered for Mo Xiaolang just now.
"Stop."
Those below the Seventh Era's Ancestor God level could not stop Long Chen. The Ancestor Gods naturally knew the relationship between Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, but no one dared to stop him. It was only when Long Chen got close to Mo Xiaolang that a Sixth Era's Ancestor God appeared in front of him.
It was a voluptuous woman dressed in colorful clothes. Her eyes were big and round and flashed with spiritual light. She had an exotic charm. Her every move and smile would cause people to be moved. However, at that moment, her face was filled with coldness. She stopped Long Chen and said, "You can't go near the Sky Swallowing Clan. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action."
This was the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor. Her world was called the Mount Wu Celestial World. Long Chen had naturally been to this world before. When he had just escaped from Mount Buzhou, he had also heard of the Mount Wu Celestial World and the Mount Wu Goddess. However, the so-called Mount Wu Goddess was actually a Primordial Realm Divine Venerable. This Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor was the true creator of the Mount Wu Celestial World.
He was born in the middle of the Sixth Era. His actual strength was similar to the Three Clear Divine Ancestors.
"Long Chen, don't cause trouble."
"You're protecting the Sky Swallowing Clan. That's already a problem. Don't make any more mistakes."
Seeing how agitated he was, some of the Ancestor Gods mocked him, while others tried to persuade him. However, they all hated Mo Xiaolang, so Long Chen was not grateful to them at all.
"Scram."
Long Chen replied to the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor with a single word.
Hearing this, the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor was instantly enraged. She held a colorful ribbon in her hand. That was the Origin of her world. She wanted to stop Long Chen. Long Chen had fought with Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan before. This Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor was not much weaker than Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan. However, at this moment, she was facing an enraged Long Chen.
"Nine Deaths Slaying Sword."
At the moment of impact, nine consecutive strikes were unleashed. The Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor, who was right next to him, was instantly hit by such a crazy storm of attacks. Even if she managed to block it in time, she was still hit by Long Chen's fiercest attack.
Whoosh whoosh.
The nine streaks of Sword Qi were like nine divine dragons of death.
They whizzed past.
"Ah …"
At least two of the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor's arms were broken. Her entire body was sent flying by Long Chen. She was defeated in one blow, and Long Chen passed her in an instant.
In reality, they still thought that Long Chen was still at the seventh era's Ancestor Realm. Therefore, when the sixth era's Ancestor God Wu Sacred Ancestor intercepted him, no one dared to imagine that Long Chen would be able to break through her defenses so easily, and even injure the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor.
If she had not dodged in time, she would have been seriously injured.
"Unbelievable."
"He actually forced the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor to retreat."
In an instant, the Ancestor Gods were once again shocked.
Of course, the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor had not expected Long Chen to be so powerful. She had been suppressed for a while and forced to retreat in one blow. Otherwise, they could have been evenly matched.
When Long Chen broke through the Mount Wu Sacred Ancestor's defenses, he was already in front of Mo Xiaolang. Just as he was about to create a huge shock, he could not hold on any longer. This was because at this moment, a dark, burly minotaur appeared in front of him like a wall, blocking Long Chen's way.
"Demon Ancestor Chiyou."
Long Chen growled in a low voice. This guy was already in front of him, at the peak of the fifth era. His cold eyes made Long Chen understand that impulsiveness was useless. After all, he could not guarantee Mo Xiaolang's safety in terms of strength. The only possibility was to rely on the Primordial War Ancestors and the others. As for now, he had to delay.
"Big Brother, calm down."
Mo Xiaolang was in the cage. Perhaps he had imagined this scene subconsciously. At this moment, he had to be calmer than Long Chen. With his reminder, Long Chen knew what he had to do to ensure his safety.
"Okay."
When Long Chen was blocked, there seemed to be a moment of silence. The Ancestor Gods were still immersed in the terrifying strength that Long Chen had just displayed. At this moment, they continued to pay attention to the Kṣitigarbha Sacred Ancestor. After all, he was the strongest existence here.
