Chapter 2789: Chapter 2789: There’s a Trick to It

Seeing Zishi and other experts flee, the Scorpion immediately regrouped his forces and led his fleet of hundreds of starships to chase after them.

At the same time, he left his aura at the scene so that when the Scorpion Clan Ancestor arrived, he could follow the aura to assist.

He knew that relying on his own strength, he was no match for the Nebula Team and those three True God Realm experts, so he had to seek help from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor was a Divine Venerable Realm expert, usually stationed at the Scorpion Clan’s stronghold, rarely taking action.

However, once he made a move, killing a high-rank expert like Zishi in the True God Realm would be as easy as crushing an ant.

In the vast starry sky, over a hundred starships of the Nebula Fleet fled ahead, while hundreds of starships from the Scorpion Team chased behind. The speed of both sides was extremely fast.

It was unclear how much time had passed when they were several thousand miles away from Purple Cloud Star, and a powerful aura approached from afar, enveloping them.

Feeling the powerful aura, the Scorpion was overjoyed and shouted loudly towards the source of the aura: "Welcome, Ancestor!"

After his words fell, thousands of his subordinates also shouted in unison: "Welcome, Ancestor!"

"The Scorpion Clan Ancestor has arrived, things are getting bad!"

Zishi, who was moving alongside Fang Bai’s starship, murmured to himself, his expression turning extremely grim.

A small scorpion-shaped starship, like a streak of light across the starry sky, approached extremely quickly, blocking Fang Bai, Zishi, and the other starships.

Fang Bai and others concentrated their gaze and saw that only one Scorpion Clan expert was standing on that scorpion-shaped small starship.

The Scorpion Clan expert was bald, wearing the same black clothes as the Scorpion, with a gaunt appearance and a fierce gaze. His gaze seemed to instill a chilling sensation in anyone who met his eyes.

The pressure-inducing aura felt by Fang Bai emanated from him.

"Is this guy the Scorpion Clan Ancestor? He seems very formidable!"

Fang Bai thought to himself, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable, and heightened his fighting spirit and battle intent to peak alertness.

Jin Ding and Liu Sha also understood that this battle could be their life-and-death struggle, and they were highly vigilant with Divine Artifacts in hand.

Seeing the Scorpion Clan Ancestor appear, Zishi felt a bit desperate but also held a glimmer of hope:

The distance to Purple Cloud Star was merely tens of thousands of miles, already within the sphere of influence of Purple Cloud Star. If the Starlord of Purple Cloud Star discovered the intrusion of the Scorpion Clan expert into his jurisdiction, he would likely not stand idly by, right?

The Starlord of Purple Cloud Star was also a Divine Venerable Realm expert. If he took action, he could counter the Scorpion Clan Ancestor.

Of course, if the Starlord of Purple Cloud Star was unwilling to act, including himself, none of the Nebula Team’s experts, along with those on Fang Bai’s starship, would likely escape death.

"Scorpion, you summoned me just to deal with these little ants?"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s gaze swept across Fang Bai, Zishi’s starships, then he spoke to the airborne Scorpion on top of his starship.

Scorpion pointed at Fang Bai, Zishi’s starships, with a bitter face and said: "Ancestor, I am no match for them! I had no choice but to summon you for help!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor raised his eyebrows, looked over Zishi, and dissatisfied, he said: "Your realm and cultivation level are on par with his. Even if you are not his match, you shouldn’t need to request my assistance, right? Your subordinates outnumber them many times over!"

Scorpion shook his head and said: "Ancestor, that Zishi guy I’m not afraid of, but it’s those three guys that forced me to summon you for help!"

Scorpion said this, pointing at Fang Bai, Jin Ding, and Liu Sha, with a look of hatred in his gaze.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor looked at Fang Bai and the three experts, then said with a tone of resentment: "What? Two initial True God Realm stages, and one mid-stage, and you can’t beat them? Even if they join forces, you should be able to deal with them in ten breaths!"

Scorpion sighed and said: "Ancestor, you aren’t aware that together they form a peculiar Formation, which trapped me and I couldn’t escape..."

He paused, then continued: "Moreover, my Scorpion Team is facing the risk of collapse under Zishi’s attack. Once the Scorpion’s thousands of experts collapse, Zishi will definitely join forces with the three to attack me, and I will be in danger."

"Three little gods can actually trap you with a Formation? What kind of Formation is so formidable?"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor raised his eyelids, carefully observing Fang Bai, Jin Ding, Liu Sha, and when his gaze fell on Fang Bai, he couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, and then made a surprised sound "Hmm".

He saw that Fang Bai had the Innate Spiritual Root, which was rare in the Divine Realm, thus was astonished.

However, although he was a Divine Venerable Realm expert, his vision was lacking, unable to see Fang Bai’s true physique was actually the Chaos True Body.

"Ancestor, it’s that youngster! That Formation is hosted by him!"

Scorpion pointed at Fang Bai.

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor nodded and said: "Three little gods actually trapped you with a Formation, it seems that Formation truly is wonderful! Let me capture him and ask!"

As he spoke, he moved his thoughts, and in the starry sky before him, a giant palm immediately formed, carrying supreme divine power, quickly reaching for Fang Bai.

"Careful!"

Zishi, Jin Ding, and Liu Sha all exclaimed in alarm.

Jin Ding and Liu Sha both stood beside Fang Bai, ready to join forces to resist.

"Form the Formation!"

Fang Bai lightly exclaimed, and before the giant palm reached, he and Jin Ding, Liu Sha once again formed the God Slaying Formation, hoping to use the Formation to block the giant palm from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor outside the Formation.

"Boom!"

The giant palm struck the Formation, making a loud noise, causing the starry sky to seem to tremble.

Fang Bai, Jin Ding, and Liu Sha, as if struck by a massive thunderbolt, their bodies shuddered violently.

Fang Bai was fine, only feeling his blood boiling.

Jin Ding was worse, with a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth, evidently internally shaken.

Among them, the weakest Liu Sha was the most miserable, bleeding from seven orifices, swaying on the verge of collapse, suffering severe injuries.

The God Slaying Formation formed by the three of them immediately collapsed at this point.

Fortunately, although they were injured and the Formation broke, the giant palm from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor also vanished without a trace.

Having escaped calamity, Fang Bai did not feel relieved but instead was more worried, knowing that if the Scorpion Clan Ancestor tried again, he definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.

Although he could activate the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and hide within, the cauldron would only protect him from injury, but the Scorpion Clan Ancestor would capture both him and the cauldron.

"This Formation... has some skill!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor, a dignified initial stage Divine Venerable Realm expert, unexpectedly couldn’t capture even a initial True God Realm expert, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, but more so surprised.

"I’ll try again! Let’s see how you block it!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor said, and once again, a divine power giant palm condensed in front of him, reaching again for Fang Bai.
