Chapter 2499: Is There Any Credit Due to You?

Outside Tongtian Mountain, the eighth passage had already opened.

The eighth Dao Ancestor, the Life Dao Ancestor, was ultimately obtained by Cheng Kui, the ancestor of the Divine Clan's Yu lineage.

Thus, of the nine Dao Ancestors, the Divine Clan occupied five!

The Human Clan had only a mere three!

However, due to Lin Chaotian's sudden rise, although the Human Clan was weak, the Divine Clan did not take advantage of the situation to invade.

On the Human Clan's side, however, it was extremely chaotic.

At Wang Cheng's feet lay a group of powerful experts, sprawled on the ground in a miserable state.

These people were all followers of Ye Yuan.

Long Yi, Bai Chen, Ni Xuan, and others were all severely injured, vomiting blood.

Some had their bones shattered, with white bone visible at the wounds, truly a pitiful sight.

Yet, this group was strangely silent.

Even when gravely wounded and near death, none of them uttered a sound.

After disciplining these people, Wang Cheng found it quite boring.

He did not experience the thrill of teaching someone a lesson.

He tried to force these people to beg for mercy, but not one of them begged him.

Better to die than to yield!

"Pah! A bunch of lunatics!"

Wang Cheng spat and sneered, "You fools, still hoping Ye Yuan can save you? Heh, when he comes out, he might not even be able to save himself! The era of Qing Sheng will soon be over!"

After coming out, he had already gained some understanding of Lin Chaotian's strength.

The fact that Lin Chaotian had fought to a draw with Tian Qing after the latter's enlightenment gave him strong confidence in Lin Chaotian.

"Pah! Shameless villain! If you have the guts, go and act wild against the Divine Clan! Bullying your own people, what a formidable Dao Ancestor you are!" Ni Xuan spat.

He was a man of great integrity, otherwise he would not have become the Human Clan's Grand Marshal back then.

Now, seeing Wang Cheng's shameless demeanor, he was absolutely furious.

Crack!

Wang Cheng snapped Ni Xuan's arm like lightning, causing him to cry out in pain.

Seeing Ni Xuan's pained expression, Wang Cheng said with satisfaction, "Heh, still stubborn! When that Ye Yuan comes out, we'll let you see him looking like a dead dog! Then, we'll send you all on your way together!"

Suddenly, the last passage lit up.

The ninth Dao Ancestor was born!

Everyone's gaze focused on the ninth passage.

"The last Water Source Dao Ancestor, I wonder who has such great fortune!"

Soon, a figure slowly walked out.

"It's him!"

"Xuanji Heavenly Emperor! He... has finally become a Dao Ancestor!"

"Oh no, Xuanji Heavenly Emperor becoming a Dao Ancestor means that Qing Sheng did not become one! Lin Chaotian will not let him off!"

...

Xuanji becoming a Dao Ancestor was what everyone had hoped for.

The experts present knew the contributions he had made to the Human Clan over the years.

However, after the joy came deep concern.

Lin Chaotian was now overwhelmingly powerful, and since Xuanji Heavenly Emperor was one of Qing Sheng's people, Lin Chaotian would certainly not spare him.

Seeing Xuanji Heavenly Emperor appear, a smile flickered at the corner of Lin Chaotian's mouth.

This Ye Yuan is truly a stubborn child!

He probably didn't realize how strong he had become after becoming the Fire Spirit Dao Ancestor, did he?

Before this, Lin Chaotian had actually been a bit worried.

If Ye Yuan had fused the Water Source Crystal and become the Water Source Dao Ancestor, it would have been quite a threat to him.

But then he thought back, given Ye Yuan's character, since he had said it, it certainly wasn't without reason.

Now, it was indeed so.

At this moment, Lin Chaotian's last bit of worry vanished like smoke.

What remained was to settle the final account!

As soon as Xuanji emerged from the passage, his gaze sharpened, and a fierce killing intent soared into the sky.

The Holy Ancestor High Priest was gravely wounded and near death!

Long Yi had a large hole in his chest, severely injured!

Bai Chen had one arm missing!

Ni Xuan's arms had been broken off!

...

Everyone on Ye Yuan's side was now in a miserable state.

Without Lin Chaotian's instruction, Wang Cheng stepped forward to face Xuanji, sneering, "Xuanji, you're a Dao Ancestor now too! Go give Brother Chaotian a big bow, apologize, and swear allegiance to him. Maybe if he's happy, he'll let bygones be bygones. If you persist in your folly, heh, they'll be your fate!"

Xuanji glared at Wang Cheng and spat, "Pah! Wang Cheng, you've become a Dao Ancestor too, yet you're willing to be a dog! You're barking quite happily!"

Wang Cheng wasn't annoyed; he smiled and said, "A wise man submits to circumstances! Xuanji, you're a smart man too! Brother Chaotian has attained the Dao a second time, his strength is now heaven-defying. Even Patriarch Tianqing can't do anything to him! Once Ye Yuan comes out, his death is near!"

Hearing this, Xuanji's heart skipped a beat.

From Wang Cheng's words, it seemed Lin Chaotian and Tianqing had already fought, and it was a draw?

That was impressive!

After all, Tianqing had also attained the Dao a second time!

Seeing Xuanji's expression change, Wang Cheng grew even more smug, saying, "Heh, scared, are you? That Holy Ancestor High Priest couldn't even last three moves under Brother Chaotian! Even as Dao Ancestors, the gap is huge! So following Brother Chaotian is the only way out! You're a smart man, you know what to choose, right?"

"Choose your grandpa!"

Xuanji suddenly erupted in rage, unable to hold back a curse, "Shameless bastard! Get the hell out of my way!"

Lin Chaotian frowned at this and snorted, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

With that, he was about to strike at Xuanji.

Rumble...

Just then, the Tongtian Mountain shook.

Figures were teleported out of the mountain one after another.

The nine passages also vanished after Xuanji came out.

"The cycle of heaven's way is over; the nine Dao Ancestors have returned to their positions. A new era begins!" Tianqing remarked as he watched.

Suddenly, a familiar figure caught everyone's eyes.

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Chaotian curled his lips into a playful smile.

This person was none other than Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan returned and swept his gaze, immediately noticing the miserable state of the Holy Ancestor High Priest and the others.

A nameless fury rose in his heart.

"Ye Yuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Heh, if it weren't to let them witness your death, I would have sent them on their way long ago!" Lin Chaotian said with his hands behind his back, smiling confidently.

"You deserve to die!" Ye Yuan glared angrily, his voice icy.

"Hahaha... In this world, no one deserves to die or not! Weakness is the original sin! You are too weak! So the one who deserves to die is you!" Lin Chaotian laughed loudly.

"Heh, Ye Yuan, the cycle of heaven's way is over, and your era is completely finished! From now on, it's the dual era of Patriarch Tianqing and Brother Chaotian standing side by side. You are obsolete! Originally, you had a chance to reach the top, but you were too arrogant, refusing to refine the Rule Crystal. Now, you have no chance!" Wang Cheng also laughed loudly.

This was clearly the perfect time to pick a side.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan turned to Wang Cheng, pointed at Ni Xuan and the others, and said coldly, "Did you have a hand in this?"
