Super War God in the City-Chapter 425: Tathagata Holy Seal
"Supreme Ancestor?" Wan Long and several Elders suddenly awakened in alarm, a look of horror on their faces.
Rumors had it that the most formidable figure in the academy was not the Dean, but the Supreme Ancestor who concealed himself in deep retreat within the academy, and would only appear when the academy faced a crisis.
To think that the rumors about the Supreme Ancestor in the academy were true!
Wan Long and the others were somewhat excited; they had been in the academy for nearly twenty years and had never seen this legendary Supreme Ancestor, and yet today, they were unexpectedly granted the chance to meet him!
The group of academy disciples who were watching were all exchanging glances, having only occasionally heard bits and pieces about the Supreme Elder of the academy and always treated them as stories.
They hadn't expected him to be real, and as for how formidable he could be, they were uncertain, but seeing the Dean and the other ordinary Elders' expressions, everyone could guess that this newly emerged elder was definitely a person of great importance, at least more formidable than the Dean!
"Elder... Elder Ancestor? To think that even you, sir, have been startled into action!" The Dean immediately bowed respectfully, his voice filled with apprehension.
He had good reason to feel apprehensive; the Supreme Ancestor had been in existence before he took over as Dean. His cultivation was said to have reached the Seventh Grade of the Wuxuan Realm, the most powerful presence in the academy.
Even the Family Heads of the Five Peaks Noble Houses had to show him the highest respect and wouldn't dare act rashly before him!
"Hehe, if I don't come out now, I'm afraid the academy would have likely been overturned by others!" the Supreme Ancestor coldly huffed.
Upon hearing this, the Dean immediately broke out into a cold sweat. The Supreme Ancestor was implicitly blaming him!
The Supreme Ancestor snorted and then turned his attention away from the Dean, setting his gaze on Ling Fan, "Boy, it has been twenty years since I last emerged from retreat. That you could force me to step out from the life-and-death threshold, even if you die later on, you would have no regrets!"
This Supreme Ancestor was not any kind of kindhearted believer; having been in retreat for many years, he was only half a step away from reaching the Seventh Grade of the Wuxuan. If he could take this final step, not only would his cultivation greatly increase, but his lifespan would also extend considerably.
At this level, breakthroughs could not be achieved through simple retreat and meditation alone.
The crisis that had befallen the academy now had sparked his interest in coming out of retreat. This crisis might be an opportunity for him!
"Fuck, Supreme Ancestor? Like one of those Shaolin Sweeping Monks?" Ling Fan cursed under his breath.
"Hmm? What's a Sweeping Monk?" Hearing Ling Fan's sotto voce remarks, the Holy Princess couldn't help asking curiously.
"Uh... I'll explain it to you later. It's just a monk who sweeps floors, they're quite good at playing dumb and catching the clever," Ling Fan thought for a moment before explaining.
He then looked at the approaching elder and scoffed openly, "Hehe, at your age, you're already one foot in the grave. To be able to come out and see the sun before you die, indeed, you would have no regrets upon your death!"

The originally seemingly amused expression on the elder's face suddenly darkened. At his age, the last thing he wanted was for someone to curse him with an early death.
Ling Fan's mockery and disrespect immediately touched his rawest nerves and inverse scales; indeed, he didn't have much longer to live, which was why he wouldn't easily come out of retreat. Protecting the academy was just one aspect!
"Hmph, insolent brat, I had originally wanted to spare your life to serve the academy, but now it seems unnecessary!" the Supreme Ancestor coldly rebuked.
Immediately he formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, muttering incantations. Then with a push of his hand towards the void, a black Buddhist Seal descended from above in Ling Fan's direction.
"Great Tathagata Holy Seal!" the Supreme Ancestor shouted once more, his voice thunderously spreading.
"Hmm? What is this?" Ling Fan's sense of alarm skyrocketed as he felt a dangerous aura emanating from the black Buddhist Seal falling towards him.
"Boy, don't let that seal hit you, or you're going to have some trouble!" warned the Holy Princess.
"What kind of Secret Technique is this? Shouldn't Buddhist Seals be golden? Why is his black?" Ling Fan squinted, unable to help but ask.
"Hehe, just as there are myriad paths to Buddhism, he either practiced an incomplete orthodox Buddhist technique leading to his deviation, or he inherently cultivates the Evil Buddha Devious Technique!" the Holy Princess explained.
"So that's how it is!" Ling Fan nodded in his heart and immediately his figure flickered, trying to dodge the range of the black Buddhist Seal's attack.
However, to his shock, the black Buddhist Seal seemed to have locked onto his aura, no matter how hard he tried to dodge and escape, he was unable to shake it off!
"Hahaha, the Holy Seal has locked onto your breath; even if you flee to the ends of the earth, it will be futile. This is the secret technique that made my name across the Martial Arts World two decades ago, and I haven't used it for twenty years!
Today, you are fortunate to experience it; you can die without regrets!" the Supreme Ancestor laughed uproariously to the sky.
As soon as the Supreme Ancestor appeared, Su Qiong and the others felt a foreboding feeling. When they saw the Dharma Seal, as large as a millstone, about to fall on Ling Fan's head, their breathing suddenly became difficult with tension.
From that black Dharma Seal, they felt an oppressive and trembling force that left them breathless.
Qi He and his disciples were also pale and bloodless in the face, revealing their skill at a single glance. The mere aura leaking from the black Dharma Seal already made them tremble.
Not to mention how Ling Fan, in the very center of the Dharma Seal, must have felt; the pressure he was enduring was probably ten or a hundred times that of the spectators.
"Damn it, you son of a bitch, you'd better hold on! If you die just like this, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Wu Rao was on the verge of tears.
Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi were also dry-mouthed and the first to show panic.
"Boss, you must hold on!" The two prayed silently in their hearts.
Tao Yang and a group of newcomers from the Secular World became excited again, Xiang Hao was thrilled, and the surrounding older students grew tense!
This time, no matter what everyone was feeling, they didn't make their feelings as blatantly obvious as before, just in case they were face-slapped again, right?
By this time, after a series of lessons, everyone had learned their lesson; even if they wanted to celebrate and shout, they would have to wait until the dust settled!
The academy dean was also filled with excitement; it was rare to see the Supreme Ancestor make a move, a sight only seen once in a lifetime. Even watching the Supreme Ancestor take action once was precious at his level, as witnessing a stronger expert in action was very rare and greatly beneficial for his future cultivation!
"Is this... this is the might of the Supreme Ancestor? It's astonishingly unconventional!" Wan Long and other Elders opened their mouths wide, murmuring to themselves.
"Crack..."
A crisp sound echoed from the stone pavement, unable to withstand the pressure from above, cracks appeared.
Ling Fan also felt an unprecedented pressure, his body movements became sluggish, and it felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
"Hmph, ignorant child, just wait to turn into ashes!" the Supreme Ancestor snorted coldly, his face full of mockery.
"Fuck, can't dodge it, Holy Princess, if I'm hit by this damn Seal, what will happen?" Ling Fan couldn't help but ask in pursuit.
"This Seal contains the energy of evil and nefarious spirits, an ordinary person would undoubtedly die if hit; as for you, it's hard to say. Why don't you try and find out?" the Holy Princess playfully winked, stirring up a mischievous feeling, and teased him.
Hearing this, Ling Fan wanted to vomit blood. What kind of answer was that? It was as good as none. But he thought he probably wouldn't die; if he had a mishap, the Holy Princess who resided in his body wouldn't be able to escape either.
Without bothering to dodge anymore, he looked up at the falling black Buddhist Seal and cursed at the Supreme Ancestor, "You old fart, if you can't kill me, I swear I will send you to meet King Yan!"
"Boom~~~"
The black Buddhist Seal fiercely plummeted, and instantly the dust and debris flew, the ground cracked, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble, leaving those with low cultivation to fall to the ground, pale as ghosts!
