Although he is called a protector, Yi Shuihan doesn't actually need to take care of Phoenix much. He just stays a short distance away from Phoenix and only intervenes once or twice when Phoenix asks for help. Most of the time, Yi Shuihan is cultivating and steadily improving his strength.

The phoenix left behind some good things. In the first hundred years, Yi Shuihan reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, just one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

There are many ways to break through to become a Quasi-Saint. One can comprehend the laws to a certain extent and advance naturally, or simply use the Three Corpses Severing Technique of the Primordial World to drive the advancement, or break the limits of the body with extreme power and use force to break the laws.

Fortunately, Yi Shuihan had a good master. The Dragon God left him many cultivation systems and methods to learn from, so that he wouldn't be clueless about how to break through.

After much deliberation, Yi Shuihan chose to break through by comprehending the laws. As for the laws he chose, it was naturally the law of time. He had many opportunities and had already made considerable progress in the path of the law of time. Now, with just a little effort, breaking through would not be difficult.

This breakthrough was probably the one that took Yi Shuihan the longest, lasting 170 years, before he finally mastered the Law of Time and became a Quasi-Saint.

Several years ago, Phoenix had already reached the peak of 9% blood coagulation and could break through at any time, but due to Yi Shuihan, his cultivation was suppressed.

Having broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, coupled with his personal world and the power of the Four Divine Beasts, Yi Shuihan could be said to be able to fight even a Saint, and would face no pressure at all against the Ancestor of Humanity.

In the Tianyuan Realm, where the Yuanhuo Mountain Range is located, Yi Shuihan and his group returned to the place where Po Zu was born. This was the place where Po Zu chose to break through to the World Realm.

Nearly three hundred years have passed, and this place has turned into an iceberg area, probably because the original ancestor absorbed too much heat energy.

Back then, with the faint oppressive aura of the phoenix egg and the harshness of the volcanic mountains, there was practically no life here. But now, even in the snowy remote areas where the average temperature is tens of degrees below zero, you can occasionally see some creatures living here. Clearly, a cyclical ecosystem has developed here.

Yi Shuihan came here alone; the Four Divine Beasts and Shangguan Rou were all in their personal world.

The day she had agreed to meet with Shangguan Rou had long passed. Her foundation had been restored, and she was even closer to breaking through to the World Realm, though she was still a little short of the Ancestral Breaker Realm.

Shangguan Rou voluntarily stayed by Yi Shuihan's side, and still refers to herself as a maid. She has been almost completely brainwashed and has forgotten almost everything about being a disciple of the Louvre.

The relationship between Shangguan Rou and Yi Shuihan is currently at a very delicate juncture. There is only a thin veil between them, and once it is broken, Yi Shuihan's harem will likely gain another member.

Unlike Qiu Ning, Shangguan Rou had always been by Yi Shuihan's side. The two had spent a long time together and naturally developed feelings for each other. Even though Yi Shuihan often went into seclusion, they had spent decades together. In fact, it could be said that none of Yi Shuihan's previous women had spent as much time with him before confirming their relationships as she had.

"We're back here again."

Po Zu was released by Yi Shui Han, along with three other divine beasts. As for Shangguan Rou, she was not involved in what followed.

The other three divine beasts serve the same purpose as Yi Shuihan, helping to resist the inevitable arrival of the Human Ancestor. However, this does not mean that Yi Shuihan's pressure is less than before, because from the very beginning, Po Zu's plan was to have the other three divine beasts come together to protect him.

Po Zu arrived at the place where he had hatched, slowly releasing his aura, and the surrounding temperature gradually began to rise.

Seemingly sensing danger, countless creatures quickly fled from here. If there hadn't been no human tribes or cities nearby, a beast tide attack would likely have occurred.

Yi Shuihan concentrated his mental energy, ready to face any impending danger. Although he was confident in fighting the Ancestor of Humanity, he was still somewhat apprehensive since he had never actually tried it before.

Breaking through the ancestral barrier began very quickly. Perhaps because he had accumulated too much strength, the breakthrough was very smooth, and he immediately entered the final stage of condensing time within his body.

A phantom world entirely composed of flames appeared in this world, which seemed to have become a special region, existing between the reality and illusion of the Tianyuan Realm.

"finally come."

A spatial rift appeared in the sky without warning, and a domineering middle-aged man stepped out. He stood there as if the center of the entire world was located there.

"As expected, it is combat power at the Saint level."

A strong sense of crisis enveloped Yi Shuihan, making him realize that the other party had the ability to kill him.

"Ancestor of Humanity! Whatever you want to do, you will not succeed today."

When the true form of the White Tiger Wanli was revealed, it actually reached its limit, forming a stark contrast with the Ancestor of Humanity. However, no matter how large the White Tiger was, it still appeared to be the weaker party.

Amidst the howling sound, an astonishing spectacle appeared in the sky: a vast, endless sea stretched out before them.

The Azure Dragon's body burst forth from the sea, making it difficult for people to distinguish its top from its bottom.

"A sea in the sky!?"

Yi Shuihan was somewhat surprised.

The White Tiger and Azure Dragon have emerged, and next comes the Black Tortoise. The three colossal creatures surround the Ancestor of Humanity in a triangular formation.

Chapter 1013, The Lightning of Annihilation

Any World Realm expert here would probably be terrified of the Three Divine Beasts, since they are far more powerful than ordinary World Realm experts. It is estimated that even all the World Realm experts would be unable to defeat them, and if the Three Divine Beasts wanted to leave, they would not be able to stop them.

However, the Ancestor of Humanity was different. He didn't even glance at the three divine beasts, his eyes fixed on the direction of the Ancestor of Destruction, a smile on his face.

This attitude clearly displeased the beasts. The White Tiger, whose temper was not good to begin with, struck first, its huge claws slamming down, blotting out the sky as if a continent had fallen from the heavens.

At the same time, the Azure Dragon also made its move, and the vast ocean directly overturned the Ancestor of Humanity.

Xuanwu's attack was the most invisible and formless, because it was biased towards the soul. If you were to perceive it carefully, you could see that a huge spiritual thorn was attacking the Ancestor of Humanity.

"Good heavens, this kind of attack already has the ability to threaten a saint."

Yi Shuihan exclaimed in surprise, but the next moment he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the Ancestor of Humanity.

The Ancestor of Humanity struck out with a palm, without any trace of martial arts, as if an ordinary person were practicing martial arts, and the White Tiger's huge body was directly overturned.

The spiritual thorn mysteriously disappeared as it approached the Ancestor's body.

"All is vanity."

Upon hearing this, the sea vanished.

When a sage speaks, heaven and earth obey.

This was not the end. In an instant, the Ancestor of Humanity made another move, transforming into four people. Three of them faced the three divine beasts, while the last one went straight towards the direction of the Ancestor of Destruction.

"It's my turn now."

Yi Shuihan took a deep breath, and the power of his personal world boosted his strength, instantly breaking through the quasi-saint level.

"Turn back time!"

With a loud shout, the power of time surged forth and acted upon the Ancestor of Humanity, causing his body to begin to retreat rapidly.

"The power of time?"

Some surprised voices rang out, and a bright light flashed on the body of the Ancestor of Humanity. He immediately started moving forward instead of backward, but the speed of his movement was much slower than before.

"So, relying solely on the power of time isn't enough after all?"

Yi Shuihan was not too surprised by this, as his strongest ability was not the power of time.

With a loud bang, black lightning appeared from the void and struck the Ancestor of Humanity in the next moment.

"World-destroying lightning!?"

This time, the Ancestor's expression changed drastically; the world-destroying lightning was enough to make him take it seriously.

The Lightning of Annihilation is a lightning that appears only when the world is destroyed. It carries the power of destruction. Anyone below the level of a saint who is struck by it will almost certainly die, and even a saint will be injured if struck.

The Ancestor of Humanity wanted to dodge, and he did manage to do so. His body shone brightly, and he accelerated in an instant, just barely grazing past the black lightning.

However, just as the Ancestor relaxed, he saw the smile on Yi Shuihan's face, and then felt the undiminished sense of crisis.

"not good!"

He had already resigned, but the black lightning unexpectedly turned and struck the Ancestor of Humanity in the back.

The clothes worn by the Ancestor of Humanity were not simple; they were almost immune to attacks from those below the Saint level. However, under the black lightning, they were just like ordinary clothes, having no effect whatsoever.

A large patch of charred blackness appeared on the back of the Ancestor of Humanity, and then quickly recovered, but the clothes could not be restored.

"You are fine!"

The Ancestor of Humanity said coldly. At the same time, he was also very surprised. He didn't know anything about Yi Shuihan, a powerful person who could control the lightning of destruction. It was as if Yi Shuihan had appeared out of thin air.

The Ancestor of Humanity possessed the combat power of a Saint, not the Saint of the Primordial World. He could not use the Heavenly Dao to deduce the past and future; otherwise, Yi Shuihan's identity as an outsider would probably have been exposed by now.

An attack imbued with primal power struck, destroying space in its path and creating a long spatial rift.

This world has a very strong ability to repair itself; after the cracks appeared, they were repaired rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Endless Thunder"

One after another, world-destroying lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere, and under Yi Shuihan's command, they obliterated the Human Ancestor's attack, then rushed towards the Human Ancestor with destruction.

Having unleashed the World-Destroying Lightning, the power of time no longer affected the Ancestor of Humanity. The Ancestor of Humanity was incredibly fast, having learned from his previous mistakes. Not a single bolt of World-Destroying Lightning could strike him. Even if he couldn't dodge it, he would neutralize it with an attack.

The two closed the distance rapidly, and within just a few breaths they were face to face.

Unable to hit him with the World-Destroying Lightning, Yi Shuihan simply stopped using ranged attacks, his entire body wrapped in black World-Destroying Lightning, and engaged in close combat with the Ancestor of Humanity.

Upon engaging in combat, Yi Shuihan discovered that he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and speed. Fortunately, due to the World-Destroying Lightning, he was able to maintain his balance for the time being.

The strength of the Ancestor of Humanity was immense; he was not merely a newly initiated Saint, but a veteran Saint. Yi Shuihan was completely on the defensive.

Even so, Yi Shuihan showed no anxiety or disappointment. His mission was simply to block the Ancestor of Humanity. If he had initially thought about whether he could fight him head-on, he had no such thoughts now. He only needed to complete the mission.

The strength of a Saint-level being far exceeded Yi Shuihan's imagination. It should be noted that Yi Shuihan believed that his strength at full power was dozens of times greater than that of a Quasi-Saint peak.

Ten breaths later, three angry roars came from afar. Yi Shuihan could feel that Baihu and the others' auras had weakened by more than half, and he immediately became nervous. He was only facing one incarnation of the Human Ancestor. If the other Human Ancestors came, the pressure on him would be too great, and he would probably have to pay the price of serious injury to complete the mission.

Po Zu was really lucky. If it were anyone else from this world, they probably wouldn't have been able to complete the mission of protecting the Dao. The strength of the Human Ancestor was far beyond his expectations. It was only because he encountered the monster Yi Shuihan that he was blocked for so long.

"Get out of my way, or I will kill you."

"Come and kill me, kill me as you please."

"As long as you step aside, I will help you break through to my level."

Seeing that the breakthrough of the Ancestor was about to end, the Human Ancestor was also anxious. However, no matter what he said, whether it was threats or inducements, Yi Shuihan remained unmoved.

On the 23rd breath, the three divine beasts were completely and severely injured, and the Ancestor of Humanity finally managed to draw out his power.

On the 25th breath, the fully-formed Ancestor of Humanity clashed with Yi Shuihan. At this moment, the Ancestor of Humanity's strength had nearly doubled, and Yi Shuihan was spitting blood with every punch.

Chapter 1014, The Strike of the Fallen God

Yi Shuihan's blood was no longer ordinary red, but golden. Even the most ordinary blood contained immense power. It was estimated that if someone obtained it, they could cultivate to the Silver rank with just a drop of his blood.

However, the blood fell downwards like rain, and as it touched the ground, endless mysteries arose within. Plants grew rapidly, accompanied by various strange phenomena.

Shangfang Yishuihan was beaten until he vomited blood, but he did not retreat even half a step.

"Your courage is commendable, but how long can you hold on?"

The Ancestor was relentless; he had already developed a murderous intent towards Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan's existence made him feel threatened, and he would rather spare the Broken Ancestor this time than not kill Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan was naturally unaware of these changes in his mindset; he was fighting while silently estimating the time.

Despite being beaten and vomiting blood repeatedly, he was not seriously injured; his injuries were minor. Of course, if this continued, his minor injuries would inevitably turn into serious ones.

This was the first time Yi Shuihan had been so disheveled in battle; he used to be incredibly powerful.

"This is so frustrating!"

Anger simmered within him, and without realizing it, Yi Shuihan began to push his body to its limits, his strength slowly increasing during the battle.

"He must die."

Noticing Yi Shuihan's change, the Ancestor's killing intent intensified, and he directly used a supernatural power that consumed a great deal of energy, increasing his attack power once again. This time, the damage he inflicted on Yi Shuihan with a single strike was comparable to several strikes before.

"Click"

A crack appeared in Yi Shuihan's hand bone, and he took a step back for the first time.

On the 70th breath, with only 30 breaths left to complete the mission, the Human Ancestor finally began to approach the Breakthrough Ancestor once again.

Yi Shuihan's retreat speed was increasing. If this continued, it was estimated that the Human Ancestor would be able to reach the Broken Ancestor in about 10 breaths.

"We have to make some changes."

A determined glint flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes as he revealed his trump card, unleashing his full combat power.

The power of the White Tiger increased Yi Shuihan's attack power a hundredfold, finally allowing him to defeat the Human Ancestor head-on and break one of his ribs.

But the Ancestor of Humanity was the Ancestor of Humanity after all, and he recovered in less than a breath.

While in a 100x attack power burst mode, the consumption of Yi Shuihan's energy increased by tens of thousands of times. Even at his peak, he could only last for 40 breaths. Now that he was injured, he could only last for about 33 breaths. If the Ancestor of Humanity didn't have any other trump cards, he was certain that he would complete this mission.

In his 100x attack power mode, Yi Shuihan's attack power has surpassed that of the Human Ancestor. If this state could be maintained for even a quarter of an hour, he was confident that he could kill the Human Ancestor in front of him.

"This is the power I've been seeking! How did you obtain it?"

The Ancestor's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Yi Shuihan as if he had discovered some priceless treasure.

The reason why the Ancestor of Humanity wanted to deal with the Four Divine Beasts was that he wanted to study their bodies in order to create a divine power that would increase his strength a hundredfold, with an effect even stronger than Yi Shuihan's attack power amplification state.

However, the Ancestor of Humanity's divine power was not yet complete; it was only in a theoretical state. Now, seeing the familiar power on Yi Shuihan's body, he immediately sensed that it was the White Tiger's enhancement, and he was somewhat excited.

Yi Shuihan's attack power was enhanced, but other aspects were not enhanced. The Ancestor of Humanity could still dodge, so apart from the first attack, the Ancestor of Humanity was not damaged.

Dodging would prevent them from advancing, so Yi Shuihan led the Ancestor of Humanity to create distance, and the time it took to get 100 breaths between them was getting shorter and shorter.

On the 97th breath, Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief and canceled the combat power boost. His normal state was enough to sustain him for 3 more breaths.

Just then, Yi Shuihan saw that the Ancestor of Humanity showed no anger whatsoever, his eyes were filled with calm.
