I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 655 655: Sword Suppresses the Three Ancestors, Awe-Shaking Hongyuan

"Master, Grandmaster, watch out!"

Within the Wendao Sect, all who witnessed the spectacle shouted warnings in panic. Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen alone stayed quiet—they were utterly convinced their Master would emerge unscathed.

True to their faith, high above, Chu Feng swung his feather fan once more, summoning a dharma form that loomed behind him. That massive hand of the form casually intercepted the furious blow from the Qilin Ancestor.

"No way!"

The Qilin Ancestor, upon witnessing this, blurted out in astonishment, his gaze overflowing with incredulity.

The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor stared wide-eyed at the human standing before them, filled with shock. They never imagined he possessed such immense strength.

Based on their past clashes with the Qilin Ancestor, that previous attack had unleashed seventy percent of his might, but this human had deflected it with such ease.

The beings from the three clans felt the deepest astonishment. For the first time, they beheld a mighty figure who could withstand an assault from one of the Three Ancestors. What sort of being was this man exactly?

"Who might you be, sir?"

The Phoenix Ancestor, ever the calmest, posed the question first.

"I am the Dao Ancestor."

With a smile, Chu Feng revealed his identity.

Dao Ancestor!!!

Those two words etched themselves indelibly into the thoughts of every creature there. He stood as the fourth entity in this realm to surpass divinity.

The Dragon Ancestor pressed on, "Then, this blessed land in the Central Continent must already belong to you, Dao Ancestor."

"Correct. Should the three of you wisely withdraw now and vow never to encroach on the Central Continent again, I shall overlook the events of this day."

As Chu Feng fanned himself lightly, his demeanor suggested he was bestowing a grand mercy upon the Three Ancestors.

To the Three Ancestors, his words and inflection rang as blatant insult and contempt.

As sovereigns of the Hongyuan Continent, the Three Ancestors had only each other as equals—when had they endured such affront? If they failed to subdue this self-proclaimed human Dao Ancestor today, how could they maintain their dominance over the continent and command the myriad clans henceforth?

The Dragon Ancestor instinctively moved to the Qilin Ancestor's side, with the Phoenix Ancestor right behind. The Qilin Ancestor harbored no resentment toward their approach.

From the Qilin Ancestor's perspective, the pair had chosen to align with him. He declared: "Phoenix Ancestor, your prior idea was sound. Today, we three shall unite to claim this land's blessings, then split the Central Continent three ways. Dragon Ancestor, your thoughts?"

The Dragon Ancestor inclined his head: "I concur."

In the past, he would have rejected such an offer outright. Leaving the Central Continent undivided might spawn another Ancestor there someday, posing a threat to the Dragon clan. Dividing it now proved wiser—even if they yielded to the other two clans later, the Dragons could still hold sway over the oceans.

Every word of the Three Ancestors' exchange reached Chu Feng's ears clearly. Upon hearing it, amusement lit his face, and he chuckled: "You three overestimate your worth. Earlier, had you simply retreated to your respective lands, I might have let you live. But now, I'll not only subdue you, I'll seize your three clans' fortunes and ensure their downfall from this point forward!"

"Such hubris!"

The Qilin Ancestor bellowed in rage: "Dao Ancestor, today I'll witness exactly how you plan to confront us Three Ancestors by yourself!"

With those words, the divine glow around his form intensified brilliantly. In a flash, his radiance enveloped the entire Hongyuan Continent, as a domain gradually took shape.

The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor wouldn't lag. The former expelled a gleaming dragon pearl, and with its emergence, the Dragon Ancestor's domain unfolded alongside it. The latter shifted into a blazing orb resembling the sun.

As this blaze manifested, the actual sun overhead faded away, seemingly intimidated by the luster from the Phoenix Ancestor's essence. Thus, the Phoenix Ancestor's domain revealed itself to all.

Turning the cosmos upside down—was this the true power of a Divine King?

The notion crossed Chu Feng's thoughts. Moments later, beams of immortal radiance burst from his frame. They merged overhead into a portal of light.

Chu Feng advanced a pace. The instant he crossed the light portal, a cry of surprise echoed from the heavens.

That voice resembled the Heavenly Dao's own utterance. It appeared Chu Feng's presence had even ruffled the Heavenly Dao.

Boom rumble!

Thunder boomed and lightning cracked across the skies. Torrents of rain cascaded down, while sun, moon, and stars lost their luster.

However, not one raindrop reached the forms of the Four Ancestors hovering above.

At that juncture, every Witch God, Demon God, Great Witch, and Demon Emperor across the Hongyuan Continent turned their attention skyward over the Wendao Sect.

Gazing upon those four supreme figures, reverence swelled in their souls. Some quietly hoped this clash among them wouldn't shatter the world.

"Sword, come forth!"

Chu Feng's voice rang out powerfully. Abruptly, a sword's keen wail pierced from the Wendao Sect. A sacred blade soared from the grounds and settled into Chu Feng's grip.

Upon seizing the hilt, his presence surged to greater heights. This overwhelming force sent shivers through the Three Ancestors' cores.

Yet retreat was impossible for the Three Ancestors now. This pitted the era's pinnacle powers against each other. Today would settle not just dominance, but survival itself.

Chu Feng ignored the Three Ancestors entirely. Turning instead to his sect's disciples and grand-disciples, he announced: "Today, I'll show you how to wield the Great Dao's power in combat. This blade stems from my insight today. I name it the Dao Sword. It serves as a sword art, yet it could embody any technique.

This blade transcends shape, embodying the Dao alone. With one stroke, myriad Daos bend to my will."

"You punk, without grasping a domain, you dare claim the title of Ancestor. You're hilarious!"

The Qilin Ancestor, noticing no domain from Chu Feng after so long, started to jeer.

"Can this vague domain of yours even qualify as one?"

Chu Feng remarked casually. Back at the Sage Palace, he'd observed the Wendao Academy's ancestor deploy a domain. Against that, the Qilin Ancestor's was just a construct of Great Dao laws. Provided his blade cut true, shattering it posed no challenge.

"Hmph!"

The Dragon Ancestor sneered coldly too: "Kid, facing doom and still bluffing. Today, we'll demonstrate a true domain's power."

The Phoenix Ancestor remained silent, merely extending his domain quietly.

Suddenly, the Three Ancestors' domains surged toward Chu Feng. They advanced gradually, yet they locked down time and space around him. Escape was futile, even if he tried.

Chu Feng always prepared thoroughly for fights. He drew the Great Dao laws from his core, funneling them into the sacred blade he held, then cleaved at the Three Ancestors' domains.

Clang!

Even before the blade descended, a colossal sword beam ten thousand feet long rent the heavens and earth. Everywhere it swept, odd occurrences vanished. Sunbeams poured down through its path, cleaving the terrain below.

The Three Ancestors showed no fear of the strike. Contempt deepened in their stares. To them, this opponent, despite his fearsome aura, lacked a domain and remained as fragile as any Demon God or Witch God.

The blade descended. The domain encircling the Qilin Ancestor shattered instantly. He stood rigid, eyes locked on Chu Feng in utter shock.

The remaining two Ancestors halted mid-air too, forgetting to press their domains further.

Chu Feng allowed no foe a moment to recover. Following the slash, he thrust simply. A plain jab lanced right through the Qilin Ancestor's form.

The Qilin Ancestor, still reeling from the surprise, sensed his awareness fading. Darkness encroached despite the clear daylight. Why did it feel so dim?

Far worse, he found his body beyond his command, as if some essence was slipping away.

Quickly, he understood: his divine soul and awareness were dissolving. In his last instants, the Qilin Ancestor murmured: "This... impossible."

His voice faded as the Qilin Ancestor's enormous frame tumbled from the clouds, hurtling toward the earth. A stream of golden fortune light escaped his body, heading straight to Chu Feng.

Once the golden fortune light merged into Chu Feng, a system alert chimed in his mind: You have subdued the Qilin Ancestor and claimed the Qilin clan's fortune. Dao Flowers gained: 999.

So this marks the fortune of an innate entity?

Indeed remarkable. Had the Three Ancestors clashed to mutual ruin today and scattered into the world, this fortune would have dispersed among the hundred clans.

But today, all this fortune light belongs to me!

Chu Feng lifted the sacred blade steadily and stated coolly: "Who's next?"

The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor snapped back at those words. Mercy wasn't sought. Instead, they unleashed their auras to full intensity.

In harmony, they declared: "You aim to slay us and claim this continent alone? Pure fantasy. Even in death, we'll drag you down with us."

Chu Feng recognized the pattern. The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor's stances signaled their intent to detonate.

He offered no words. The blade whipped forth again, shattering the pair's domains. At last, with a graceful flourish, he returned it to its sheath seamlessly.

The two Ancestors' peaking auras halted abruptly. They gazed at Chu Feng in disbelief, whispering: "We refuse to accept..."
