Chapter 1217: True God Talisman Ancestor
The Bone Dragon attacked again, giving the Spirit Master False God no time to breathe. Furthermore, with the Death God's Law Aspect having no opponent after dispersing the Spirit Aspect, it likewise targeted the Spirit Master False God on the Apotheosis Platform. The Death God's Law Aspect's three eyes flared with thick black smoke, and the Spirit Master False God on the Apotheosis Platform immediately sensed a power suddenly act upon him.
Both the Spirit Master False God and his Guardian Spirit sensed this power, and both guessed what this sudden power acting upon them was. As a result, their expressions instantly turned very grim. Immediately after, the Spirit Master False God tried to move his body, only to find he couldn't move an inch. His and his Guardian Spirit's expressions immediately became even grimmer.
The two could confirm that this power suddenly descending upon them must have come from the sealing power of the Death God's Law Aspect. It was precisely because of this sealing power acting on them that their fused body was now unable to move even slightly.
Being in this situation was simply a desperate plight for the Spirit Master False God and his Guardian Spirit. They hadn't even had time to think about how to resist the Bone Dragon's attack, and now their bodies were sealed and immovable. This was simply adding insult to injury for them.
Just as the Bone Dragon's massive maw was about to bite down on their shared body, at that critical moment, a talisman phantom suddenly appeared above the Bone Dragon's head. This talisman phantom was so large it even overshadowed the thousand-meter-long Bone Dragon!
To be precise, this talisman was not a phantom, but a special talisman condensed from power. As it had no physical form, it appeared like a phantom.
As this talisman revealed itself, it immediately burst forth with dazzling golden light and released a terrifying power fluctuation, then pressed down upon the Bone Dragon below.
The Bone Dragon struggled violently, trying to break free from the talisman's suppression. However, its struggles had no effect whatsoever. Instead, a series of unbearable crunching sounds, "kaka," came from its massive body, as if its body could shatter at any moment.
"It seems without my intervention, it would be impossible for some people to become True Gods."
The Bone Dragon exploded and dissipated into dense Yin Qi. A voice devoid of any emotion rang out in the area. Immediately after, a figure appeared outside the Apotheosis Platform. There was no scene of space tearing, nor even a ripple in space. This person simply appeared out of thin air.
This was a middle-aged man with sharp, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing an unsmiling expression. A rune was etched between his brows, giving him a sense of mystery while also presenting a unique aesthetic.
He floated suspended in the air. The void before him was like flat ground. Achieving this was not difficult in itself, but the strange thing was that not a hint of power fluctuation emanated from his body.
The appearance of this person not only drew the gaze of the Spirit Master False God and the Death God but also attracted the attention of everyone on the periphery of Snow Fox Mountain.
Although no power fluctuation emanated from the middle-aged man's body, the Spirit Master False God and the Death God had already sensed his arrival the instant he appeared.
As for the crowd outside Snow Fox Mountain, the reason they discovered the middle-aged man's arrival was entirely because the huge and powerful talisman that appeared before his manifestation was simply too eye-catching; it would have been difficult not to notice.
When everyone's gaze fell upon this middle-aged man, the Talisman Masters of the Talisman Order immediately grew excited. For the newcomer was none other than their Talisman Ancestor, a True God of their Talisman Order!
Although only a very few of these Talisman Masters had seen the Talisman Ancestor's true form, this did not prevent them from recognizing him. Because the Talisman Ancestor's appearance was identical to his Dharma Body, these Talisman Masters recognized the middle-aged man's identity at a glance, even if they had never seen his true form.
With the Talisman Ancestor personally present, how could the people of the Talisman Order not be excited? The God of the Spirit Masters had appeared, and the God of the Underworld Office had also appeared, but their Talisman Order's God had not, which somewhat made them feel inferior. Now that the Talisman Ancestor had appeared, that feeling naturally vanished.
The Talisman Ancestor's appearance not only thrilled the Talisman Masters but also profoundly agitated the Spirit Masters, for the Talisman Order and the Spirit Masters were allies. The Talisman Ancestor was undoubtedly on their side, a fact evident from his immediate action to shatter the Bone Dragon.
Before the Talisman Ancestor's appearance, the Spirit Master False God's battle against the Death God was disastrous—a fact the Spirit Masters had witnessed firsthand. Though they were unwilling to admit it, the truth was that their Spirit Master God was no match for the Death God. If the Spirit Master God couldn't produce powerful means to counter the Death God, then not only would their hope of becoming a god be slim today, but the Spirit Masters would also suffer a crushing defeat, with countless Spirit Masters tragically dying at the hands of the Underworld Office. They saw all of this with their own eyes, and their anxiety was imaginable.
Now that the Talisman Ancestor had appeared, they immediately saw the hope of victory rekindled. Since their Spirit Master God was not the Death God's opponent, then with the addition of the Talisman Ancestor, absolutely no problem would exist in crushing the Death God. After all, the Talisman Ancestor was also a True God, just like the Death God. Although they did not know who was stronger between the Death God and the Talisman Ancestor, in their view, since both were True Gods, their strength difference should not be too great. And with the addition of their Spirit Master God, dealing with one Death God would definitely be no problem.
They could think of this point, and of course, the people on the Underworld Office's side could also think of it. Because of this, the expressions of the Underworld Office's side were extremely displeased at this moment.
Thinking about it, it made sense: after the Death God appeared and displayed immense power, he quickly pushed the Spirit Master False God to the brink with thunderous means. It seemed that victory in this great battle was about to belong to their Underworld Office, but precisely at this moment, the Talisman Ancestor, also a True God like the Death God, suddenly burst forth. Their mood was imaginable.
At this moment, Yang Haoran's mood was also extremely unpleasant, because his greatest fear had still come to pass. The Death God's appearance had initially reduced his worries considerably. The only thing that still worried him was whether the Talisman Ancestor of the Talisman Order would also participate in this battle. However, the worst-case scenario had now appeared, so how could his mood be pleasant?
"Heh heh, you've come just in time. I thought you had forgotten the alliance between us and weren't planning to participate in this great battle."
The appearance of the Talisman Ancestor made the Spirit Master False God and his Guardian Spirit breathe a sigh of relief. The situation he was just in was a close call. If the Talisman Ancestor hadn't blocked that attack for him, he would have been half-dead even if he hadn't died.
"Since I chose to form an alliance with you, I naturally won't break my word. You may ascend peacefully. As for this old friend of mine, I'll handle him."
The Talisman Ancestor spoke calmly, his tone unhurried and composed. Upon hearing this, the Spirit Master False God's face immediately broke into a happy smile.
"Heh heh, good. Since you are so true to your word, I naturally won't go back on mine. After this is done, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you."
The Spirit Master False God said with a smile. After saying this, the Spirit Master False God turned and continued to walk towards the top of the Apotheosis Platform. As for the Death God, he completely left him to the Talisman Ancestor to handle.
It wasn't that he trusted the Talisman Ancestor that much, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to trust him. Because he had no other option but to trust the Talisman Ancestor, he simply and generously gave his back to the Talisman Ancestor.
However, his Guardian Spirit seemed to not trust the Talisman Ancestor much, and thus was unwilling to simply turn his back on the Talisman Ancestor.
"You ascend the platform. I will guard against any potential mishaps for you."
The Guardian Spirit said with a serious expression. As his voice fell, before the Spirit Master False God could reply, a series of crunching sounds, "kaka," came from his neck, which strangely twisted behind him.
"Alright then, I'll trouble you. With you standing guard, I'll be more at ease."
The Spirit Master False God said with a smile, stepping towards the top of the Apotheosis Platform. Of course, he would not object to the Guardian Spirit's cautious approach. Moreover, this physical body only needed one of them to control it to ascend; there was no need for both to control it simultaneously. This meant that the Guardian Spirit had nothing else to do at this moment, and paying attention to every movement behind them was indeed a good thing, making him feel more secure.
The appearance of the Talisman Ancestor finally gave the Spirit Master False God another chance to ascend. The Death God watched this scene, and though his expression darkened slightly, he showed no surprise. He seemed to have long expected the Talisman Ancestor's appearance.
The Death God's reaction fell into the Talisman Ancestor's eyes, and the Talisman Ancestor slightly frowned.
"You seem to know I would appear?"
The Talisman Ancestor asked calmly. The Death God did not immediately respond. Instead, he waved his hand fiercely, and the Bone Dragon, which had been dispersed by the Talisman Ancestor, re-condensed, circling above the Death God's head. A furious dragon's roar emanated from the Bone Dragon's mouth, its hollow eyes burned with green ghost fire once more, and it glared menacingly at the Talisman Ancestor.
"You don't need to stall for time with me. With me here today, he won't become a god. I said it."
The Death God showed no intention of wasting time. As soon as he finished speaking, under his control, the Bone Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a large amount of ghost fire towards the Talisman Ancestor, instantly engulfing him in a sea of green flames. The Death God's Law Aspect was not idle either, launching an attack against the Talisman Ancestor.
