Chapter 997: The Divine Ancestor

Fu Wu stepped forward and instantly arrived in the Tianxing Divine World.

Boom!

There was an uproar throughout the civilization.

The elites of the Tianxing Civilization stared at Fu Wu in despair.

The entire civilization felt helpless, especially upon witnessing Chief Enforcement Officer Sui Sui's death. It became painfully clear to them that none of them could stand against Fu Wu.

Confusion lingered in the minds of many.

Why was Fu Wu—a Chief Enforcement Officer—trying to destroy the civilization she once led?

Their confusion was understandable, as the Tianxing Ruler at the time had covered up the incident at the time. Thus, no one really knew what had truly transpired. They only knew Fu Wu as a historical figure—a former Chief Enforcement Officer of the Tianxing Civilization.

Without hesitation, Fu Wu took another step forward, and she arrived in the Tianxing Ancestral Land—one of the civilization's most sacred and guarded places.

High Goddess Tianyun and High Goddess Tianxuan immediately appeared in front of her, standing in defiance.

The Tianxing Ancestral Land was extremely important, just like the Tianxing Life Tree, as it was a reincarnation point for the denizens of the Tianxing Civilization.

Once a fruit had perished, their soul would return here to be purified. Then, they would be reborn as new fruits on the Tianxing Life Tree but without any memory of their past lives.

If the Tianxing Ancestral Land was destroyed, the living fruits of the Tianxing Life Tree would be the final generation of the Tianxing Civilization. Once those fruits reached the end of their lives or were killed, there'd be no one to replace them.

Thus, protecting the Tianxing Ancestral Land was of utmost importance. The higher-ups of the Tianxing Civilization made urgent requests for help from Chief Enforcement Officer Jing Chu to no avail.

Fu Wu remained indifferent to the gravity of their situation.

Just as she was about to take another step, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared before her. He was the Ancestral Guardian of the Tianxing Ancestral Land.

The Ancestral Guardian's face was filled with sorrow. "Big Sister, it's been a long time."

Fu Wu's expression remained cold.

"I am not your sister," she spat. Her words were emotionless, devoid of warmth.

The Ancestral Guardian's face twisted in pain. "I know you hate me for siding with the Tianxing Ruler back then, but I—"

Fu Wu interrupted, shaking her head. "I don't hate you."

The Ancestral Guardian stood in stunned silence.

Fu Wu closed her eyes and blood-red tears began to roll down her face. "I only hate myself—for being so naive, so foolish. My foolishness caused him unbearable suffering.

"My foolishness killed him and my foolishness led me to trust all of you."

She opened her eyes, now filled with rage, and roared, "I hate myself!"

Boom!

A terrifying wave of energy erupted from Fu Wu. The Ancestral Guardian's fleshy body trembled violently before erupting into a mighty conflagration.

He was defeated in an instant.

High Goddess Tianyun and High Goddess Tianxuan stood frozen, and their faces were filled with disbelief at the sight.

Just as the Ancestral Guardian took his last breath, he whispered, "Big Sister, I—"

Fu Wu waved her hand, scattering his ashes to the winds.

Without a second thought, Fu Wu turned toward the Tianxing Ancestral Land.

High Goddess Tianxuan stepped in front of her once again with a determined face.

Fu Wu did not even glance at her.

High Goddess Tianxuan turned toward High Goddess Tianyun and said, "Tell Yi Nian and Jing An that they should go with him."

With that, High Goddess Tianxuan stared at Fu Wu.

Boom!

Her fleshly body burst into flames, and the flames seemed to carry her determination as they engulfed her.

Boom!

Her soul erupted into flames as well. Right as High Goddess Tianxuan was about to attack, she sensed something and looked back, startled.

Behind her, High Goddess Tianyun was also engulfed in flames. A faint smile tugged at High Goddess Tianyun's lips. "We're the strongest ones left in Tianxing."

High Goddess Tianxuan's face darkened, but she remained silent.

If not us, who will?

High Goddess Tianxuan chuckled bitterly and said, "Let's go and have a word with our former Chief Enforcement Officer."

High Goddess Tianyun nodded. "Alright."

With that, they turned around, and the Tianxing Flame between their brows erupted. The two High Goddesses vanished, replaced by two towering pillars of flames that made a beeline for Fu Wu.

Having ignited both their fleshly body and soul, the two ladies' strength reached new heights. They were extremely powerful, and every minute movement from them shattered the spacetime around them.

In the face of their attacks, Fu Wu raised her hand and pressed forward.

Boom!

The fire pillars were immediately suppressed.

Fu Wu clenched her fist and threw a punch.

Boom!

The fire pillars shattered and the two High Goddesses were blasted tens of thousands of meters away.

When they came to a halt, the flames between their brows flickered and then vanished, along with their fleshy bodies. The two of them were reduced to their soul forms in just one punch.

The Tianxing Civilization experts were struck with terror, and despair filled their hearts.

The High Goddesses were supposed to be invincible, so how come they couldn't withstand even a single blow from Chief Enforcement Officer Fu Wu?

Was this the end of the Tianxing Civilization?

Even High Goddess Tianyun and High Goddess Tianxuan were shaken themselves. They knew that the gap between themselves and Fu Wu was large, but they never expected it to be so vast.

They couldn't last more than a single exchange even after igniting their fleshly body and soul.

Fu Wu stepped forward once again. A terrifying energy gathered around her as she prepared to obliterate everything in her path.

Far off in the distance, High Goddess Tianyun and High Goddess Tianxuan exchanged glances. Just as they were about to make their final stand, two beams of divine light suddenly shot down from the heavens, enveloping them.

They were taken aback.

Just then, Fu Wu's devastating attack erupted.

BOOM!

The divine beams shook violently and crackled open, but they stood firm. Fu Wu looked up and saw Divine Mage Feng along with a group of elites.

Their faces were solemn as they faced her. After all, she was Fu Wu, the most powerful Chief Enforcement Officer of the Tianxing Civilization.

Until today, she had been a mythical figure, but they were aware that her existence carried great weight within their civilization.

Divine Mage Feng fixed his gaze on her, speaking in a low voice. "Chief Enforcement Officer Fu Wu, we don't know what happened all those years ago, nor do we seek to reopen old wounds.

"Most of those involved are long dead, so even if you bear resentment, surely it has faded by now?"

Fu Wu remained silent, and her eyes were cold as she clenched her hand into a fist.

"Chief Enforcement Officer Fu Wu, you're from the Tianxing Civilization. Are you sure you want to destroy your own civilization?"

Fu Wu responded with a punch.

Divine Mage Feng and the experts behind him went pale. Stepping forward, golden ancient scrolls appeared in their hands. Thousands of divine laws erupted from the scrolls, filling the sky as they tried to stop Fu Wu's attack.

However, Fu Wu's punch tore through everything. The divine laws shattered like glass. The golden scrolls exploded and they were blasted tens of thousands of meters away.

When they finally stopped, shock was written across their faces.

She was unexpectedly powerful.

Yantuo, standing nearby, looked extremely solemn. He hadn't expected her to be so terrifying. His strength far surpassed even his wildest expectations.

At first, he thought that they could stop her, but he was gravely mistaken. Fu Wu was beyond terrifying.

Fu Wu took another step, and her aura grew stronger as if she was getting ready to end everything.

The two Divine Mages exchanged a glance, stepping forward once more. They placed their palms together and chanted an ancient incantation. Two golden characters manifested in the sky above them.

Those characters were called Divine Words.

As they chanted, the Divine Words shone brightly, and a blinding golden light pervaded the skies. Somehow, they managed to restrain Fu Wu's aura.

Hope flickered in the eyes of the Tianxing Civilization experts. Even the High Goddesses breathed a sigh of relief at the sight. Perhaps they still had a chance against Fu Wu.

However, Fu Wu merely waved her sleeve at the sight.

Boom!

A powerful wave of energy swept forward and the golden Divine Words crumbled. The experts behind the Divine Mages were beheaded, and their fleshly bodies flew across the starry skies.

Their fleshly bodies disintegrated into ashes before they could even come to a halt.

The hope in the eyes of the Tianxing Civilization experts was snuffed out in an instant.

Divine Mage Feng stared in disbelief at Fu Wu.

"Y-you're beyond the Supreme Realm."

Divine Mage Feng was flabbergasted. The two Divine Mages were in the Supreme Realm—the highest-known realm in the Tianxing Civilization—but Fu Wu had overpowered them completely.

Fu Wu stepped forward.

Divine Mage Feng saw that and immediately activated a token.

"Divine Ancestor! We summon you!" Divine Mage Feng exclaimed. The so-called "Divine Ancestor" was the very first fruit within the Hall of Divinity.
