Chapter 1237: Five All-Things Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestors! |
TL: Etude
Fifty thousand years was an immense period of transformation for the Human Race.
The Human Race, never short of geniuses and blessed with the advantage of accelerated time flow within small Forbidden Void Realms, had grown rapidly. A large number of Dao Ancestors had emerged, with waves of Fifth and Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors appearing, and even a few Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors had risen.
Of course, those Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors belonged to the Nine Limits Legion but were still part of the Human Race.
On this particular day, Ye Tian summoned six Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors and bestowed upon them six Forbidden Blood Crystals.
These six individuals had ascended to the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor realm from Invincible True Ancestors. With remarkable potential, they all had the ability to break through to become Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. However, mastering the Dark Forbidden Power was exceptionally challenging. Advancing to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm through the Pinnacle Dao would take a significantly long time.
Thus, Ye Tian gave them six Forbidden Blood Crystals to help them condense the Dark Forbidden Power, enabling them to more easily break through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm.
After receiving the Forbidden Blood Crystals, the six Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors went into seclusion to cultivate.
They had already cultivated for countless years within the small Forbidden Void Realm, and their cultivation had long reached the limits of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor realm. They no longer intended to prolong their accumulation. Once the Forbidden Blood Crystals were refined and they mastered the Dark Forbidden Power, they planned to refine their mastery further before striving for the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm.
On Blackwind Mountain, even the Ten Kings, who possessed armies of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, would find it difficult to match such a feat. After all, cultivating a single Pinnacle Dao Ancestor was no simple task. At most, the legions of Invincible Dao Ancestors might have one or two such individuals.
For Ye Tian to so effortlessly cultivate six Pinnacle Dao Ancestors was nearly unheard of.
Ye Tian’s wealth and resources were unparalleled. Even treasures like Forbidden Blood Crystals were readily used to cultivate subordinates. In contrast, other Invincible Dao Ancestors would be reluctant to part with even a single Forbidden Blood Crystal, instead keeping them for their personal use.
Before long, the six Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors all successfully broke through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level.
Ye Tian then divided the Nine Limits Legion into six divisions, with each Pinnacle Dao Ancestor leading one army.
Furthermore, these six Pinnacle Dao Ancestors became the masters of six Great Halls, overseeing the leadership of the Human Race.
With these six Pinnacle Dao Ancestors managing the race, Ye Tian found himself with far fewer administrative burdens and was able to focus entirely on his own cultivation.
During this period, he frequently went to comprehend the Eternal Origin Stone Statue. Possessing multiple Forbidden Talents—many of which were fused and enhanced versions of the same talent—his abilities were extraordinarily powerful.
As a result, Ye Tian’s comprehension of the Forbidden Dao far surpassed others.
It could even be said that not even Half-Step Domain Ancestors could match his level of comprehension.
Currently, Ye Tian had cultivated the Dark Limit Dao Spear, one of the Forbidden Dao Techniques, to the Major Accomplishment realm. Several other Forbidden Dao Techniques had reached the peak of the Minor Accomplishment realm.
According to Ye Tian’s understanding, many Half-Step Domain Ancestors’ mastery of Forbidden Dao Techniques remained at the entry level. Even those who had reached the Minor Accomplishment level were exceedingly rare, and it seemed that no Half-Step Domain Ancestor, not even figures like Palace Master Golden Crow or Dao Ancestor Wondrous Law, had cultivated a Forbidden Dao Technique to the Major Accomplishment realm.
After all, without Forbidden Talents, cultivating a Forbidden Dao Technique to the Major Accomplishment level was exceedingly difficult. Time alone was insufficient; talent limitations posed a significant barrier.
Additionally, Ye Tian’s mastery of the Infinite Dao had reached nearly 60%, bringing him closer to its ultimate limit.
His Forbidden Dao mastery had also advanced considerably. Though he remained far from the All-Things Realm, it was an undeniable, distant goal.
By Ye Tian’s estimation, apart from the Infinite Dao, which had not yet reached its limit, he had surpassed the Invincible Dao Ancestors in nearly every other aspect. His combat strength had reached unimaginable heights, rivaling even the strongest among Invincible Dao Ancestors.
Even against Half-Step Domain Ancestors like Dao Ancestor Limitless Antiquity, Ye Tian could hold his ground and engage in battle.
One day…
A large Forbidden Void Realm emerged in the Profound Void Archaic Realm, causing a tremendous uproar. The Half-Step Domain Ancestors of both Blackwind Mountain and the Heavenly Emperor Palace took action.
The large Forbidden Void Realm became a battlefield for the Half-Step Domain Ancestors, as Invincible Dao Ancestors and Pinnacle Dao Ancestors dared not participate.
In the end, the large Forbidden Void Realm fell into the hands of Blackwind Mountain, a result that left many in shock.
Previously, several medium Forbidden Void Realms had been seized by Blackwind Mountain because the battles involved Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. The Dark King, nearly invincible among Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, had ensured those victories.
This time, however, the battle over the large Forbidden Void Realm involved the strength of Half-Step Domain Ancestors, yet the Heavenly Emperor Palace was defeated.
…
Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Palace Master Golden Crow, Palace Master Azure Dragon, and several other Palace Masters were all seriously injured. Every one of them wore grim expressions.
“Palace Master Golden Crow, Blackwind Mountain has gone too far this time. They actually sent a Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor. Without that, our Heavenly Emperor Palace would not have been suppressed like this!” Palace Master Azure Dragon said angrily.
“We must awaken those ancient Half-Step Domain Ancestors of the All-Things Realm!” Palace Master Golden Crow sighed.
“Agreed!”
“Seconded!”
“Seconded!”
One after another, the Palace Masters voiced their agreement.
Without a Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor, the Heavenly Emperor Palace was continuously suppressed and left with no room to maneuver. Life in the palace had become unbearably stifling.
Soon after, Palace Master Golden Crow and the others arrived at the depths of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, standing before an ancient, massive bronze gate. They opened the bronze doors.
At that moment, voices echoed from behind the ancient gate.
“Golden Crow, what has happened in the Heavenly Emperor Palace? Why have you summoned us so quickly?”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five figures emerged, their presences so overwhelming that all the Palace Masters shuddered.
These were All-Things Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestors, the most powerful Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. They were so ancient that many newly appointed Palace Masters did not even know of their existence, only that such venerable figures resided in the palace.
“Palace Master Dragon Shadow!”
“Palace Master Black Tortoise!”
“Palace Master Sky Vault!”
“Palace Master Heaven Punishment!”
“Palace Master Thunder Tribulation!”
Palace Master Golden Crow called out their names one by one, allowing the newly appointed Palace Masters to recognize these legendary figures.
Immediately afterward, Palace Master Golden Crow explained, “Honored five Palace Masters, the Heavenly Emperor Palace is in a precarious situation. Blackwind Mountain’s hidden strength has exceeded our expectations. We had no choice but to awaken you.”
When the five great Palace Masters learned of the situation in the Profound Void Archaic Realm and the true strength of Blackwind Mountain, their brows furrowed deeply.
“Blackwind Mountain’s strength is not inferior to ours and might even surpass the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Before Domain Ancestor Vast Sea arrives, we must find a way to create a Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor. Otherwise, we cannot contend with Blackwind Mountain!” Palace Master Dragon Shadow said.
“Create a Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor?” Palace Master Golden Crow frowned. “How could that be done? Everyone wants to achieve the Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor level, but it’s clearly not something that can be accomplished overnight!”
“Palace Master Golden Crow, you’re not fully aware of the true foundation of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. For ordinary forces, it would indeed be impossible, but our Heavenly Emperor Palace can achieve it. This is a great secret, but given the circumstances, there’s no harm in telling you all now.” Palace Master Dragon Shadow smiled as he spoke.
As Palace Master Dragon Shadow slowly explained, the gathered Palace Masters finally understood what it was all about.
