Chapter 2424 — Chapter 2424 Refined Celestial Essence

'Refined Celestial Essence, huh…' Yuan mused calmly as the Supreme Ancestor's overwhelming aura bore down on him.

In that moment, he finally understood why the Supreme Ancestor had refrained from using this power until now, as the sheer destructive force it carried was so intense that it even surpassed Chaotic Essence itself.

From the pressure alone, Yuan could feel his bones creaking and beginning to crack. Had his physique not been tempered to such extremes, that overwhelming force would have crushed him to death on the spot.

'Looks like it might really be impossible to fight him without Eternal Essence…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Even so, he decided not to use it immediately, as he wanted to gauge his own limit.

"Die for me, you blasphemer!" the Supreme Ancestor roared as he unleashed his Refined Celestial Essence in a violent surge, wielding it as pure, unrestrained power without the need for any technique.

An invisible but overbearing energy washed over the Demon Annihilation Array, creating cracks throughout the structure. However, it was unable to destroy the array, and any damage was quickly restored.

As for the Demon Annihilation Legion, they were unable to bear the pressure and were all destroyed simultaneously.

When the Refined Celestial Essence slammed into Yuan, it felt as though his entire body was being shattered into countless fragments, like a jar being smashed over and over again, even after it had already been reduced to pieces.

As for his soul, it too was vaporized. But as long as Yuan's will remained unbroken, it could not be truly extinguished, and moments later, it reformed. Then, his body regenerated completely.

"He can still regenerate even with his soul destroyed…? I thought that was his kind's one true weakness!" the Supreme Ancestor cried out in disbelief.

Unbeknownst to him, although Yuan was technically human, he had long since transcended the limits of humanity.

"Is that all you've got?" Yuan scoffed. "I was curious what kind of power you were hiding… but this is rather disappointing."

The Supreme Ancestor became even more enraged and began unleashing even more Refined Celestial Essence without regard for his own well-being, as the energy was so destructive that it harmed its own user.

The Demon Annihilation Array eventually collapsed, and Yuan's body and soul were destroyed multiple times.

Yet, Yuan regenerated fully moments later.

"Why?! Why won't you fucking die?!" the Supreme Ancestor roared, unleashing his most powerful attack yet.

This time, however, Yuan did not remain still to endure it. An otherworldly energy erupted from his body, surging forth to meet the incoming Refined Celestial Essence head-on.

For a brief moment, the two forces clashed in a violent stalemate before Yuan's Eternal Essence suddenly surged, overwhelming the Refined Celestial Essence entirely.

It tore through the attack without resistance and crashed into the Supreme Ancestor, annihilating most of his body in an instant.

"This energy is…?!" Supreme Ruler Grant halted his fight with Supreme Ruler Dena for a second time to shift his attention to Yuan.

"How the hell is a human wielding the Demon God's power?!" he exclaimed in a sharp, bewildered tone.

Although he could tell that Yuan wielded Eternal Essence, he couldn't discern the difference between his own and Yuan's true, authentic Eternal Essence.

"Do you now understand why you won't be able to stop him if he wants to eradicate our existence?" Supreme Ruler Dena said with a smile on her face.

"The… The Demon God would never allow such a thing to happen!" "I wouldn't be so sure about that," Supreme Ruler Dena shook her head. "What the hell do you know when you've never even spoken to him! He bestowed me this power for a reason! Because he cares!"

"Whatever you say…" Supreme Ruler Dena said before launching an attack at him, resuming their fight.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Ancestor regenerated the damage caused by Yuan's Eternal Essence with difficulty.

"You… that power… it's what the Supreme Ruler is using! How did you acquire it?! Did the Demon God bestow it upon you as well?!"

The Supreme Ancestor's disbelief deepened. In his eyes, Yuan's very existence was an affront to the Demon God, so the thought of him wielding such power felt like a direct insult to everything he believed in.

Moreover, this essentially meant that Yuan had the direct approval of the Demon God, something even he lacked as someone who once held the title of Supreme Ruler.

Yuan silently shrugged in response, refusing to satisfy his curiosity.

"Damn it…" The Supreme Ancestor felt perplexed, his thoughts in turmoil as he weighed whether to continue the fight. To stand against Yuan now after learning of the truth meant willingly opposing someone acknowledged by the Demon God—an act no different from blasphemy.

"What's wrong? Are you out of energy already? Or are you simply giving up?" Yuan suddenly remarked. A provocative smile tugged at his lips as he continued, "What a pathetic little bitch."

"!!!"

Hearing Yuan's insult, something snapped within the Supreme Ancestor.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

A violent surge of energy erupted from the Supreme Ancestor, his aura twisting and distorting as it transformed into something entirely unrecognizable.

"Oh…? Is he…?" Yuan raised an eyebrow as a familiar smell—a stench started emitting from the Supreme Ancestor.

"Bastard! So what if you received the Demon God's approval?! Even if you were the Demon God himself, I would still dare to devour you!" The Supreme Ancestor roared like an unrestrained beast.

"Supreme Ancestor?! What are you—?!" The Supreme Adviser's eyes widened with bewilderment as the Supreme Ancestor had suddenly turned into a Forsaken.

"To think you'd turn into a Forsaken just like that…" Yuan said, his tone calm as his eyes observed the transformation. "This is my first time witnessing it firsthand, and it's quite disappointing. Then again, you've done nothing but disappoint me since the beginning."

He paused briefly before continuing, his voice turning indifferent.

"Oh well. I suppose there's no longer any reason to spare you now... not that I had such intentions, anyway."
