The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1700 - 1696: Plotting

"Haha, this is exactly what I want! Such power belongs to all of our Fox Clan, so let’s all join together! Haha, hahaha..." Tu Shanxue seemed like a different person. Although she hadn’t completely lost her sanity, she was already showing signs of madness.

She walked a few steps to the Fox Ancestor Statue, pressed her hand firmly onto it, and immediately, a strange chant emanated from her mouth.

In an instant, the Fox Ancestor Statue seemed to have been stained with blood, glowing with a dark red light. The ground and stone pillars around the altar also turned dark red.

"Come, embrace the inheritance of Revert Ancestry power together." She shouted loudly.

From the altar atop the mountain, a muffled thunderous sound rumbled and a red halo rapidly spread out from the mountain peak, extending toward the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

Everywhere the light passed, whether an elder of the Fox Clan or an ordinary citizen, their eyes glowed red, their fur grew wildly, and they could no longer maintain their human form. The animalistic traits on their bodies became increasingly prominent.

At the same time, the aura emanating from each one of them also surged rapidly, growing immensely stronger.

However, unlike Tu Shanxue, their mana was not strong enough, so when this Revert Ancestry power swept over them, their rationality collapsed instantly, leaving them entirely mindless.

In no time, the previously silent Qingqiu City became a boiling chaos. Countless half-fox, half-human Fox Demons roared toward the sky like a pack of wolves, turning the scene utterly chaotic.

...

"It has finally begun..." At a remote location at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, a grey-clothed man looked toward the mountain peak, murmuring to himself with excitement.

The man’s face was concealed under a black veil, making his appearance unrecognizable. His tall physique was surrounded by swirling aura, indicating a high level of cultivation.

After speaking, the grey-clothed man used the Earth Escaping Technique to dive into the ground, heading toward the depths of the earth. Soon, he reached the deepest area of the mountain.

The space ahead suddenly brightened, revealing a massive cave.

This cave was vast in scale, stretching hundreds of feet in size. Jagged, bamboo shoot-shaped peculiar rock formations dotted the space, resembling a natural cavern.

At the center of the cave stood a black platform about a hundred feet wide, which appeared to be an enormous tree stump. Its thick roots extended deep into the ground, connecting to the earth veins beneath.

The stump’s upper surface was unnaturally flat and engraved with intricate black formation patterns, forming a complex array that hummed as it operated at high speed.

Chief Strategist You Su, two Taiyi Fox Clan members, over a dozen True Immortal elders, and a group of Great Mahayana Stage Fox Clan members were present, sitting cross-legged within the black array.

Mi Su was also there, lying quietly asleep on a small bed not far away.

Inside the cave, everyone had a blood-colored jade pendant hanging around their necks, emitting a soft blood-light, the nature of which was unknown.

Chief Strategist You Su sat cross-legged at the center of the stump, her hands weaving seals as if spinning a car wheel. Before her stood a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Ancestor Statue, whose outward appearance was identical to the one at the Ancestor Spirit Altar, yet it radiated a completely different aura.

This statue stood solidly here but exuded an ethereal feeling, as though it wasn’t entirely physical.

As Chief Strategist You Su performed her incantations, wisps of phantom-like black light continuously flowed out from the Fox Ancestor Statue, into the black array below.

The black array rapidly absorbed the phantom black light from the statue, channeling it through the roots below, merging it into the earth veins.

Threads of black light floated outward, extending to unknown distances. freёnovelkiss.com

Embedded in the chest of the Fox Ancestor Statue was a bowl-sized black round pearl, shimmering with countless flickering water-like reflections that formed ever-changing images: a black giant fox wielding nine tails, fiercely battling several immortal-like monks.

If Shen Luo were present at this moment, he would immediately recognize this as the situation within Chang’an City.

The eyes of the Fox Ancestor Statue gleamed constantly, and its expression shifted at intervals, matching the black giant fox depicted within the pearl—an almost inseparable connection.

"Tu Shanxue has begun summoning the Fox Ancestor Spirit." The grey-clothed man, standing before the tree stump, spoke.

As his words fell, the red halos emanating from the Ancestor Spirit Altar pierced through the mountain wall, spreading to this location, touching the bodies of the gathered Fox Clan.

But the blood jade pendants they wore suddenly radiated brightly, forming blood-red spherical light shields that engulfed their bodies.

When the red halos struck the blood-red shields, they slid off as if sea waves hitting a reef, leaving the Fox Clan in the cave unaffected by the Fox Ancestor’s light.

The grey-clothed man showed no signs of having a blood-red shield, but as the red ancestral halos swept across him, his aura remained completely unchanged.

"Good!"

Chief Strategist You Su’s eyes snapped open as she shouted, and with a quick motion, she slashed her finger across the void, conjuring a vividly bright blood-colored rune. In a flash, it landed on the brow of the Fox Ancestor Statue.

The black light from the Fox Ancestor Statue instantly intensified several folds, becoming thick and treacly, ceasing to flow outward.

The other Fox Clan members immediately altered their method of activating the array, causing the formation on the tree stump to halt momentarily before reversing its rotation, spinning at an even faster pace.

The entire tree stump emitted layers of black light, its roots gently pulsating as if alive, exuding an enormous aura stretching to the heavens.

The tree stump transformed into a majestic cosmic tree, connecting to the skydome above and the Underworld below, encompassing all of the Nine Provinces beneath its dominion—truly arrogant and invincible.

At the base of the stump, black light erupted with a monstrous suction force, drawing the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi like a tidal wave.

The earth veins beneath Qingqiu Mountain reacted similarly, not only channeling all the spiritual energy toward the stump but also reversing the outflowing black light, funneling it back into the tree stump and ultimately into the Fox Ancestor Statue.

...

Countless miles away, within Chang’an City, earth-shaking booms echoed ceaselessly, shaking the ground and reverberating across the sky. The fierce battle still raged on.

The Four Symbols Heaven-Time Array that had enveloped the entire city had now shrunk to less than one-tenth of its original size, enclosing only a small region in the city’s west. However, the light curtain of the array had grown several times thicker, and the Four Symbols phantoms almost appeared solid.

Within the great formation, Yuan Tiangang, Li Jing, Kongdu Zen Master, and Fairy Qinglian had transformed into four streaks of lightning-like phantasms, battling tirelessly against the black giant fox and four mysterious figures. Their radiant auras collided furiously.

All of their cultivation levels surpassed Taiyi, every gesture sending shockwaves that could shatter the heavens and split the earth. Buildings within the array entirely crumbled, and pitch-black fissures riddled the ground, extending deeply into an unseen abyss.

Though the Four Symbols Heaven-Time Array shielded the surroundings, the tremors from their clashes still spread outward, leaving nearly half of the Chang’an City west district in ruins.

The ordinary people within Chang’an City had gathered in the eastern area of the city, while some had even fled outside the city, anxiously awaiting the end of this unparalleled battle.
