The Prodigies War

The shuttle whizzed back and forth as if it were weaving cloth.

Meanwhile, Sword Ancestor Yunguang’s swift and deadly strike was soundlessly neutralized.

Although Lin Xun was standing behind Ruo Su, he wasn’t able to garner a single insight.

All he could sense was an astonishing power that was far beyond anything he could imagine. It was simply not something he could comprehend at his current level.

However, he knew that if the sword was aimed at any other Emperor present, it would have immediately taken their life.

Ruo Su seemed unconcerned as she said, "The dao I seek is to see the big from the small, to see the whole from the subtlest of hints, to silently unveil the truth like the spring breeze turning to rain."

Rumble!

Emperor Ancestor Qiangu’s punch approached, overflowing with supreme oppressive force that made the surrounding space collapse. Only the area around Lin Xun, Ruo Su, and Xue Ya remained unaffected as if it were an impenetrable fortress.

The dreadful fist force was also noiselessly disintegrated by the power of the Heavenly Garment Array.

The dao-robed old man from the Primordial Dao Court summoned a fire dragon cauldron. Countless divine flames poured out from the cauldron, flooding the entire area.

However, it was also neutralized by the Heavenly Garment Array in the blink of an eye.

"This..."

The dao-robed old man was called Emperor Ancestor Zhenjue. The fire dragon cauldron he wielded was an extraordinary supreme treasure whose power would make any Emperor shiver in fear.

His expression abruptly changed at this moment.

He wasn’t alone. Sword Ancestor Yunguang and Emperor Ancestor Qiangu were also in a similar state.

The three of them had attacked together only for their attacks to be neutralized without shaking the opponent in the slightest. It was undoubtedly an inconceivable result.

Ruo Su continued her monologue, "Junior Brother, every grain of sand, every stone, every blade of grass, and every tree is like a world of its own. While discovering the greatness of the dao, one should remember to also take note of its subtleties. Only then can one comprehend the essence of 'big and small.'"

Her nonchalant air was completely at odds with the perilous situation.

Despite this, anyone who looked at her couldn’t help but display an extremely grave expression.

"Attack!"

The three Emperor Ancestors, Yunguang, Qiangu, and Zhenjue took a deep breath and attacked again.

The power of an Emperor Ancestor was naturally incredibly terrifying. With a single thought, they could bring forth thousands of the most supreme dao arts.

Boom~

The area fell into turmoil as reality itself teetered on the brink of collapse.

It was fortunate that Mount Cloud was located in the sparsely populated extreme northern region of the Primordial Chaos World. As such, the titanic clash between Emperor Ancestors didn’t result in excessive casualties.

Even so, the region around Mount Cloud was devastated by major earthquakes that left several cities shuddering in fear.

Even the cultivators were frightened out of their wits and fell into a state of panic.

They could see inconceivable scenes of destruction reflected in the sky as if the gods were fighting in the heavens above.

An air of destruction spread as the sky was dyed scarlet-red, making it feel as if the end of the world was coming!

……

A clash between Emperor Ancestors was naturally far beyond the level of a quasi-Emperor like Lin Xun.

It was as if an ant was watching dragons fight in the sky. He knew the battle was terrifying, but he had no idea why or how.

He watched Senior Sister Ruo Su skillfully weave her Heavenly Garment Array as she defended against the attacks of three Emperor Ancestors with ease.

He watched Senior Brother Xue Ya recite the dao scriptures, producing a grand and boundless aura that pierced the heavens.

He watched Senior Brother Pu Zhen and Senior Sister Jun Huan valiantly fighting deep in the cosmos.

For the very first time, Lin Xun felt just how insignificant he was. It was as if he had become an unimportant spectator.

Without the protection of his senior brothers and sisters, he would have long been destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle!

Lin Xun couldn't help but wonder if the Dao War of Ten Directions of the primeval era and the Dao War of Emperors of the ancient era had also been this terrifying.

Boom!

The earth and sky shuddered as stars shattered and fell from the heavens.

The battlefield was flooded with endless scenes of destruction, grand dao sounds, and violently surging divine light. It was a picture of absolute mayhem.

Several Emperors even had to retreat to avoid being caught up in the destruction.

Urgh!

Not long after, Emperor Ancestor Yunguang coughed blood. In that momentary opening, thread-like Law Power swiftly entangled him, causing him to be horrified as he hastily tried to escape.

When he turned around, however, he suddenly realized that he had been cut off from the outside world as if he were trapped in a cage without any way out!

Meanwhile, Ruo Su's gentle voice sounded, "Look Junior Brother, when the array is complete, the Heavenly Garment Array becomes an inescapable trap. Even an Emperor Ancestor is reduced to a turtle in a jar."

"To think that she’s still explaining things to him at this juncture. Does she not see us as opponents?"

Sword Ancestor Yunguang's face reddened as an indescribable sense of shame and anger surged in his heart. It had been many years since he had been ignored in this manner.

Sword Ancestor Yunguang roared, "Open!"

Rumble!

Infinite dao light shone from him and condensed into supreme Law Power, unleashing the full power of his Ancestor Stage cultivation.

However, it was futile no matter how he attacked because the Heavenly Garment Array was simply too incredible. It seemed to have completely isolated him from the rest of the world, making it impossible for him to escape.

To make things worse, Sword Ancestor Yunguang gradually realized that as his attacks grew in power, the oppressive force of the array was also becoming increasingly intimidating.

He felt like a worm trapped in its own cocoon. The more he struggled, the stronger the restraints became!

"How can this be...how can this be..."

Sword Ancestor Yunguang was an old Ancestor who had lived for countless years and experienced innumerable dangers and storms. Despite this, he never felt more frightened and helpless than at this moment.

Meanwhile, Emperor Ancestor Qiangu and Emperor Ancestor Zhenjue were also in a similar situation.

They were unable to wrap their heads around how they had unknowingly become trapped in the world of the array.

Worst of all, when they turned around to try and retreat, they realized that they were alone in the array.

It was as if heaven and earth had abandoned them and they were now stuck in a prison of despair!

For a time, they desperately attacked as if they had gone crazy but were unable to break out like Sword Ancestor Yunguang.

……

"What's going on?"

"I can't see inside..."

"What a horrifying technique! Could the three Emperor Ancestors...have already..."

At Mount Cloud, the crowd of Emperors trembled in fear as their faces paled, unable to believe their eyes.

Although they didn’t dare to participate in the fighting, they had been closely observing everything from the beginning.

Despite this, they only now realized that the trio of Sword Ancestor Yunguang, Emperor Ancestor Qiangu, and Emperor Ancestor Zhenjue had suddenly disappeared from the battlefield!

Amidst the rising divine light, booming dao sounds, and spreading dust, a shuttle zipped back and forth in the sky, pulling runes as if they were threads to obscure a part of the cosmos.

How had the three almighty Emperor Ancestors disappeared just like that?

From afar, Ruo Su’s graceful figure was still talking to Lin Xun as if they were uninvolved spectators.

Everyone felt as if their hearts had been plunged into icy water. What was going on?

"They’ve been trapped in the array!"

A deep voice sounded from the darkness, causing everyone to stiffen as if they had awakened from a dream.

Trapped in the array!?

What kind of terrifying array could soundlessly trap three Emperor Ancestors without them knowing?

"It’s about time."

Ruo Su suddenly raised her hand.

Omm!

The shuttle suddenly buzzed as the Heavenly Garment Array formed by countless threads began to shrink...

In the end, the array transformed into three cocoon-like objects which fell onto Ruo Su's palm along with the shuttle.

At this moment, all the Emperors present seemed to realize something as they revealed looks of horror.

Could it be that...the three Emperor Ancestors are trapped in the three pigeon-egg-sized cocoons?

The thought made the Emperors nearly lose their composure and caused their scalps to tingle wildly. That was an Emperor Ancestor whose body could blot out the sky and whose aura could crush the land!

In the eyes of Emperors, Ancestors were akin to indestructible and omnipotent supreme beings.

Who would dare to imagine that such an expert could be trapped in a tiny cocoon?

In the darkness, many entities’ hearts trembled.

"Senior Sister, they..." Lin Xun couldn't help but ask as a vague notion began to form in his mind.

"Yes, those three old bones are trapped in these heavenly garment cocoons. In a sense, it's similar to how silkworms wrap themselves in cocoons before transforming into silk moths."

Ruo Su smiled. "However, the only fate that awaits those trapped in my heavenly garment cocoon is death."

Her words were akin to a rock being thrown into the calm waters of a lake!

They also confirmed everyone's speculation. However, the truth was so frightening and bizarre that no one could accept it for a time.

Sword Ancestor Yunguang of Panwu Dao Court, Emperor Ancestor Qiangu of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, and Emperor Ancestor Zhenjue of Primordial Dao Court...it was simply unthinkable that three Ancestors had been trapped in cocoons like worms.

Who had ever heard of an Ancestor being reduced to a worm?

"This…this…" Lin Xun was also rendered speechless.

Although he knew that Senior Sister Ruo Su was extremely powerful, he never expected that her techniques would be so inconceivable!

The sight of the three cocoon-like objects in her palm made Lin Xun think of a certain sentence: Toying with Emperor Ancestors in the palm of your hand!

"This is a killing move of the Heavenly Garment Array which I call Self-Binding Cocoon. Its essence lies in the words 'Those who see and understand the subtleties can will the big and small.'"

Ruo Su explained to Lin Xun, "In the eyes of cultivators, Emperor Ancestors are akin to almighty supreme gods. But in my eyes, there is no difference between Emperor Ancestors and everything else.

"To know greatness is to understand smallness. That is all."
