“Hmm? 10,000 years have passed. What crisis has the Tantai Family encountered to actually wake me?”
A voice as cold as the moon rang out from inside the Immortal Crystal.
She was currently reviewing the information sent by Tantai Qiong Hua.
“Eh? A suspected Primal Chaos Body?”
A flash of shock and ecstasy flickered within those golden pupils.
“Hahaha! Has a descendant appeared in my Tantai Family who can rival or even surpass our ancestors? Very well. After slumbering for 10,000 years, I shall consider this a chance to stretch my limbs.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a brilliant light erupted from the Immortal Crystal.
Following that, the crystal shattered, and a figure flew out.
It was a woman dressed in a moon-white dress.
Her appearance was peerless, and her temperament was as cold as the moon, resembling a fairy from the Moon Palace.
She looked to be in her early 20s, yet her golden eyes were filled with an ancient, weathered aura.
She was the Ancient Ancestor of the Tantai Family, named Dantai Mingyue.
She was a powerhouse of the Saint Transformation Realm from 10,000 years ago — a Saint.
Dantai Mingyue took a step forward, and the space in front of her shattered.
Next, within the Talent Falling Battlefield of the Myriad Races Secret Realm, the void in a certain area suddenly twisted.
*Crack, crack.*
The space seemed to fracture.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended like the heavens collapsing, enveloping the entire Talent Falling Battlefield.
*Thud!*
Countless cultivators with lower cultivation bases actually fell to their knees under this pressure.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they could not even lift their heads.
Even those in the Sendai Realm found it difficult to breathe, their minds shaking violently.
“What terrifying pressure! Who is it? Could some old monster have lost their patience and decided to act against Tantai Chun?”
Chaos broke out in the stands as every gaze fixed on the spatial rift.
However, in the next moment, a cold and ancient voice rang out through the void, sounding like celestial music.
“Who dares to covet the Bloodline of my Tantai Family?”
As the voice faded, Dantai Mingyue, her body overflowing with the Light of the Great Dao, slowly stepped out of the spatial rift and appeared before everyone.
Upon seeing this figure, Tantai Qiong Hua, Tantai Xuan, and the others were stunned for a moment before ecstasy erupted on their faces.
They immediately led all the Tantai Family disciples in a respectful bow toward her.
“We, your descendants, pay our respects to the Ancient Ancestor.”
“The Ancient Ancestor? The Ancient Ancestor of the Tantai Family? Heavens, this aura… is she at least at the Ascension Realm? Or even stronger? Is this the true foundation of an Immortal Aristocratic Family?”
Many were dazed by Dantai Mingyue’s appearance.
Dantai Mingyue’s gaze swept indifferently over the crowd, finally landing on Su Chun, who was being protected in the center.
With just a glance, she saw through everything about her.
‘As expected, it is the legendary Primal Chaos Body,’ Dantai Mingyue murmured to herself.
Dantai Mingyue said nothing more.
Her gaze shifted toward the void, and her eyes instantly turned ice-cold.
“You rats hiding your heads and showing your tails, since you are already here, why not show yourselves?”
As she spoke, an invisible power of laws rippled out from her body.
*Boom!*
The void fluctuated violently, and figures were forced to tumble out from the emptiness.
There were seven or eight of them in total, each emitting a terrifying pressure no weaker than the Ascension Realm.
These were the old monsters who had been hiding in the shadows, coveting the Primal Chaos Body.
They were all powerhouse figures at the level of giants.
“The Saint Transformation Realm? To think an old monster from the Saint Transformation Realm is still alive in the Tantai Family. This is trouble. With this senior here, who can touch Tantai Chun?”
After these hidden old monsters appeared and felt the unfathomable Saint Transformation Realm pressure from Dantai Mingyue, their expressions turned incredibly ugly.
A black-robed old monster with a sinister aura spoke in a panicked tone, “Senior, this is a misunderstanding. We were simply curious and came to take a look; we have no intentions of coveting anything.”
“True, true. Senior, we harbor no such thoughts.”
Dantai Mingyue snorted coldly.
“Is that so? Do you all think I cannot sense your malice?”
Hearing this, the old monsters of the Ascension Realm knew that things would not end peacefully today.
“Senior, do not push us too far! Although you are in the Saint Transformation Realm, if we join forces, we might not lack the strength to fight back!”
A burly old monster roared.
“Oh? Is that so?”
A disdainful arc curled on Dantai Mingyue’s lips.
“Then let me see what capabilities you have.”
Dantai Mingyue took a step forward and raised her finger, lightly slicing toward the location where the men stood.
In the next instant, a seemingly plain moon-white sword qi sliced through the void like a knife through tofu.
Carrying a terrifying momentum that could annihilate everything, it swept toward the old monsters.
“Not good! Retreat!”
The expressions of the Ascension Realm monsters changed drastically.
Sensing the threat of death, they all summoned their strongest Dharma treasures to block with all their might.
However, before Dantai Mingyue’s sword, which contained the power of a Saint, their defenses were like paper and were torn apart instantly.
“Ah! No! Senior, spare our lives!”
Screams rose one after another.
The Ascension Realm monsters didn’t even have room to resist before they were cleaved in half by the moon-white sword qi, leaving only their Divine Souls to flee.
With a single move, she had instantly killed seven old monsters of the Ascension Realm.
The entire Talent Falling Battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned by this terrifying scene, looking at the moon-white figure as if looking at a god.
‘Is this the power of the Saint Transformation Realm? It is truly terrifying.’
Dantai Mingyue had already shown mercy.
She only destroyed their physical bodies, ensuring they would be unable to appear in the world for 1,000 years.
After dealing with the hidden threats, she swept her indifferent gaze across the entire scene.
“Does any other power have designs on the Bloodline of my Tantai Family?”
No one dared to respond.
At a time like this, whoever dared to stand out would likely only have death waiting for them in the next moment.
Seeing no response, Dantai Mingyue smiled with satisfaction.
She then turned around and said to Su Chun, “Alright, the crisis has been averted. All of you, follow me home.”
With a wave of her hand, a soft moon-white celestial light enveloped the members of the Tantai Family.
They transformed into a streak of white light and flew into the spatial rift, returning to the Tantai Family in Meng Hua Zhou.
Powerhouses of the Ascension Realm could already traverse space at will.
Going anywhere in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands was just a matter of a single thought.
For those in the Saint Transformation Realm, it was even more effortless.
It was only after Dantai Mingyue and the others completely vanished that the Talent Falling Battlefield seemed to regain its vitality, erupting with deafening discussions.
“My god, that was too terrifying. Instantly killing seven Ascension Realm powerhouses with a single sword… the Tantai Family’s foundation is too deep. To think they still have an Ancient Ancestor from the Saint Transformation Realm hidden.”
“Is this the legendary power of a Saint? I wonder if I can ever reach this level in my life.”
The storm surrounding the Primal Chaos Body came to a temporary close with the departure of the Tantai Family.
However, the news of Su Chun awakening the Primal Chaos Body and the appearance of the Tantai Family Ancient Ancestor, Dantai Mingyue, to protect her swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands like a hurricane, causing a massive uproar.
***
By the time Su Chun regained her senses, they had already appeared on the platform in front of the Dantai Family Ancestral Land.
‘This… we’re back already?’
Su Chun looked at her familiar surroundings, her heart filled with immense shock.
“Alright. I will take the little girl into the Ancestral Land first to carefully examine her physical condition. You all should also discuss how to protect and nurture this girl in the future.”
Dantai Mingyue kept her back to the crowd.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, she casually scooped up Su Chun and disappeared as a streak of white light.
