Chapter 938: Chapter 932: The Sparrow Stalks the Mantis? The Progenitor Descends!!_1
```
All the creatures of Soul Land gazed uniformly at the sky.
They witnessed countless cosmic sword lights surge through the universe, brutally slaughtering the ten great Zu Jing Qiang Zhe until their Divine Spirits were extinguished.
Their screams lingered on, unimaginable pain must have caused them to wail in such a way.
But no one felt sympathy for them.
Because everyone understood that if it weren't for Luo Yu's protection, not only would all living beings have perished today, but even the Douluo Planet would have been utterly shattered and extinguished.
"Serves them right!"
"Good riddance!"
"Alliance Hierarch is so badass, one against ten."
"These were ten Ancestral Realm powerhouses, and the Alliance Hierarch alone slew ten Ancestral Realm powerhouses!!"
"Look how excited you are, do you even know what Ancestral Realm is, you motherfucker?"
"No idea, do you?"
"I don't know either."
"Then what the fuck are you babbling about."
"Anyway, it's a very badass existence, and now they've been killed by the Alliance Hierarch. How thrilling, hahahaha."
Cheers like a tsunami broke out across Soul Land, filled with immense excitement and joy.
The majestic figure in the universe made everyone subconsciously depend on him, feeling fully secure and incredibly trusting.
Even the giant ancient tree seemed to shake with sentience at this time, emitting a dense energy of life.
It helped heal the cracked lands of Soul Land, revitalizing all the earth for cultivation, and any mortals who were injured, as long as they weren't dead, saw all their injuries heal completely upon contact with this life energy, returning to their original state.
At this moment, the cheering grew even louder.
The entire Soul Land was radiating golden light, the will of all its people unified. Under the assistance of the World Tree, the entire Douluo Planet was evolving to a higher plane of existence, a capability not possessed by other planes, unless they devoured other planes.
And Soul Land didn't need to do that; given time, the World Tree could continuously draw from the universe's void energy, nourishing Luo Yu and Soul Land, enabling them to evolve to higher levels and possess infinite possibilities.
The reason why Luo Yu could break through to the Ancestral Realm so quickly was inseparable from the World Tree.
In the universe, Luo Yu looked at the spot where the ten great ancestors had vanished into smoke and chuckled coldly.
"It's always been me taking other people's stuff."
"When did someone dare to rob me?"
"Take!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The Four Slay-Immortal Swords quivered, the sword formation was instantly undone, and all the terrifying intent to kill vanished into nothingness.
The formation map also returned to his hand.
Luo Yu looked at the formation map in his hand and at the hovering Four Slay-Immortal Swords before him and thought that this most ancient killing formation truly lived up to its reputation.
Even the power it displayed now was probably less than one ten-thousandth of its peak, and it was already this terrifying.
What if... it was completely deployed?
Luo Yu shook his head, surprised and laughing at the thought.
Unimaginable.
And now, his strength was increasing rapidly; there was no need to reach for the impossible. He should take some time to consolidate his strength.
He transformed into a streak of light and flew to the side of the Five Ancestral Sacred Artefacts.
He inspected them.
He could clearly sense that each of these weapons contained tremendous power, though far from the Slay-Immortal Sword, the power they could exhibit at the current stage was stronger than that of the sealed Slay-Immortal Sword.
"Progenitor-level..."
Luo Yu muttered softly.
"I should have kept a captive to ask what the Progenitor level really is and what conditions are needed to break through."
"Oh well, they're dead now. I'll go back and get married first; the rest can wait."
Luo Yu extended his hand, attempting to harness Divine Power to collect the five sacred artefacts.
However, as soon as his power touched the surface of the artefacts, it met with strong resistance, repelling his Divine Power outright.
"Tsk, got attitude?"
Luo Yu's lips curved upwards, not the least bit concerned.
```
The powers of life rules and time rules were simultaneously driven, intertwining together, to oppress the five Holy Artifacts.
"Buzz!"
The Holy Artifacts, being sentient, sensed someone attempting to forcibly claim them and immediately resisted.
They shook, seeking to break through the void and flee this place.
"Interesting."
Luo Yu would not allow such treasures to escape; despite the minimal exhaustion of his body, he still exerted his full strength to suppress them.
"Buzz buzz—"
The Holy Artifacts initially resisted fiercely, but ultimately, they were ownerless objects without someone to control them, and their source of power was limited.
They gradually grew silent.
Just as Luo Yu was focused on collecting the five major Holy Artifacts, a black banner boiling with death qi burst forth with infinite radiance, tearing open the void. With the terrifying speed of thunder that did not allow one to cover their ears, it enveloped Luo Yu, taking complete control and suppression over him.
The pupils of the excited people of Soul Land constricted; by the time they reacted, Luo Yu was completely enveloped by the black banner.
"Heeheehee—"
"One foot higher than the road, one yard higher than the devil, in the end, it is I who have the upper hand, hahaha."
Two silhouettes emerged from the black fog.
Luo Yu's eyes widened.
"It's you?"
The Seventh Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor glanced at each other, then burst into loud laughter.
"Didn't see that coming, did you, kid?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, taking advantage while you are ill, to claim your life."
The Seventh Ancestor shrugged and said:
"Did you think you were the only one who could stab in the back?"
"Couldn't we also launch a Return Horse Spear?"
"Damn it," Luo Yu gritted his teeth. He truly hadn't noticed when these two had snuck up on him.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have missed even the traces of two residual spirits.
He looked up at the enormous black banner that was suppressing him and understood.
So, these two old dogs had activated the Progenitor Saint Weapon at a great cost, hiding and waiting for the opportunity to enter the scene.
The Ninth Ancestor stepped forward, his eyes fervently fixed on the five Progenitor-level Holy Artifacts.
He clapped his hands and laughed:
"Kid, I must say, you really are impressive, truly astonishing."
"To think that as a native, you became a Beyond-limit Ancestral Realm being."
"And further, you bested your betters, slaying the Ten Great Ancestral Realm powerhouses - those were Zu Jing Qiang Zhe with five Holy Artifacts in their possession."
The Seventh Ancestor urged, "Old Nine, cut the crap, without that sneak attack we may not really be able to control this guy."
The Ninth Ancestor sighed and glanced at him.
"Seventh brother, don't doubt it, without that sneak attack, we really couldn't control him; he's indeed too monstrous."
The Seventh Ancestor glared.
"If you can talk, then say more."
"Hurry up and join forces with the Ghostly Banner to refine him. Wouldn't it be delightful for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman?""
At this moment, the atmosphere in Soul Land had reached a critical point.
They had only just begun to feel joy for a short while.
Gu Yuena and the Life God King were eager to move, ready to rush out to save their man.
But Bi Bidong stopped them.
"Don't be impulsive, if we go now, not only will we not be of any help, but we will also hold Brother Yu back."
"But Brother Yu is in danger, it's only us who can help him now," Gu Yuena said anxiously and nervously.
Bi Bidong shook her head.
"Wait a bit longer!"
"Don't you feel that Brother Yu's gaze is a bit too calm?"
