At this moment, the people of the Righteous Heaven Sect finally understood where Ye Wushuang and the others got their confidence to come and cause trouble for their sect’s ancestor.
It was because their strength was anything but ordinary.
They possessed the power to deal with a Supreme Realm expert, and that was precisely why they had come to their Righteous Heaven Sect.
Thinking of this, the members of the Righteous Heaven Sect gasped sharply.
At the same time, they felt deeply relieved, grateful that they hadn’t acted too rashly earlier or directly attacked Ye Wushuang and the other person.
Otherwise, their Righteous Heaven Sect might have already turned into a sea of blood.
Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress paid no attention to their thoughts.
In their eyes, there was only one enemy: the ancestor of the Righteous Heaven Sect.
And their ancestor had clearly sensed the powerful aura erupting from the Divine Dragon Empress.
Because of that, he roared directly at her:
“So, it seems you want to stop me?!”
“If that’s the case, then you can just go and die!!”
After saying these words, the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor immediately launched a brutal punch toward the Divine Dragon Empress.
There was no flashy trickery to it, just pure, raw power.
But that pure power contained boundless terror.
Even Ye Wushuang’s expression changed when he saw the ancestor make his move.
He could sense that this punch from the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor carried the force of law.
That law felt very much like the Law of Force, which he himself hadn’t yet mastered.
If the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor had truly mastered the Law of Force, then they would be in serious trouble.
The saying “sheer force overcomes all techniques” isn’t just empty words.
However, when the ancestor’s fist landed on the ground, Ye Wushuang let out a sigh of relief.
Although the punch smashed into the earth, shattering mountains and containing immeasurable divine power,
it still didn’t reach the world-shattering, heaven-rending level of “sheer force overcomes all techniques.”
So Ye Wushuang understood: this wasn’t the Law of Force at all.
It was probably some law related to the Law of Force.
What specific law it was, Ye Wushuang didn’t yet know.
But as soon as the Divine Dragon Empress struck back at the ancestor, Ye Wushuang immediately understood.
The law the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor had comprehended was the Law of Defense.
Because after the Divine Dragon Empress delivered a sword strike to the ancestor, her sword clashed against him as if hitting metal or stone, producing an incredibly loud collision sound.
At the same time, the ancestor’s body showed no injuries whatsoever, as if he hadn’t been hurt at all.
Seeing this situation unfold, even the Divine Dragon Empress’s expression changed.
Neither Ye Wushuang nor the Divine Dragon Empress had ever encountered a defensive type of law force before.
Only after meeting it today did they truly understand just how terrifying it was.
After the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor took the Empress’s sword strike, he was completely unharmed, and his attack wasn’t hindered in the slightest.
Taking advantage of the moment, he actually grabbed the Divine Dragon Empress’s sword with his bare hands.
No one had expected this.
Especially the Divine Dragon Empress.
After she had mastered “Ten Thousand Swords Return to One,” countless people had died beneath her blade.
The sword in her hand was definitely one of her trump cards.
Under these circumstances, her trump card had suddenly become useless – it was truly unbelievable.
This also made the Divine Dragon Empress change her strategy in an instant.
Just as the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor seized her sword, she immediately let go and abandoned that blade.
At the same time, she condensed another sword in her hand.
Then, she activated the “Array” Secret, attacking the ancestor with extreme speed.
In that moment, the Divine Dragon Empress’s speed peaked, and the sky was filled with her afterimages.
In just the span of a single breath, she had stabbed the ancestor tens of thousands of times.
Almost every thrust was aimed at the ancestor’s vital points.
Yet even so, the ancestor only had slightly reddened skin and suffered no real injuries.
Still, the intense pain shooting through his body infuriated him to the extreme.
“Ahhh! Go die!!”
By now, the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor had lost most of his sanity.
He lashed out wildly at the Divine Dragon Empress.
His massive, wok-sized palm came slapping directly toward her.
If that slap landed on the Divine Dragon Empress, even if she didn’t die, she would surely be severely wounded.
However, although the Empress’s attacks couldn’t break through the ancestor’s defense, her speed remained astonishingly fast.
Because of that, whenever the ancestor’s attack was about to land on her, she dodged it effortlessly.
She, too, remained completely unharmed.
But the ancestor’s palm strikes directly shattered several sacred mountains into dust.
Their entire exchange was clearly visible to all the members of the Righteous Heaven Sect.
Every one of them who witnessed it had their mouths hanging wide open.
“Th-this… the ancestor’s injuries are all healed?!”
“Not only healed, but he’s also become stronger… it’s just that…”
“Ah! If only the ancestor had healed his injuries through some other means! Now he’s not only killed so many people, but he’s also gone mad. This is truly a sin!!”
Their ancestor’s recovery of strength should have been great news for the Righteous Heaven Sect.
But before they could even feel any joy, it was snuffed out entirely.
Because their ancestor hadn’t just killed countless innocent civilians – he had fallen into demonic madness.
He had completely lost his reason.
It was foreseeable that if this trend continued, their ancestor would truly go berserk. When that happened, he wouldn’t just keep killing innocent people; he might very well start slaughtering the cultivators of their own Righteous Heaven Sect.
Their own sect’s cultivators might even become blood offerings for their ancestor’s consumption.
Because of this, they all felt deep regret.
At the same time, a sense of crisis washed over them.
They felt that if the Divine Dragon Empress lost to their ancestor, then all of them would likely be in mortal danger.
And so, they began to pray.
“Hang in there! You have to stop the ancestor!!”
“Our Righteous Heaven Sect is truly facing a great calamity this time!!”
“Now, we can only pray that the Yin-Yang Bandit leads us to victory!!”
They realized that after their ancestor had fallen into demonic madness, they had no way to restrain his power.
Therefore, they hoped Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress could subdue their ancestor.
But at that moment, the Divine Dragon Empress was also facing a problem.
No matter what she did – whether she used sword techniques or dao spells – she couldn’t break through the ancestor’s defense.
His Law of Defense made him even tougher than a sacred immortal mountain.
This meant that, for the time being, the Divine Dragon Empress had no way to deal with the Righteous Heaven Sect ancestor.
