Chapter 4197: Refining Three Ancestors Into One Body

Chapter 4197: Refining Three Ancestors Into One Body

In the past, among the "Three Rivers and Seven Ridges" of the Dark Abyss, the Radiance River and the Overlord Ridge wound around the Heavenly Court, forming the Heaven Ridge and the Heavenly River.
Many cultivators were stationed to guard the Heaven Ridge and the Heavenly River. As a shadow pressed down upon them, they all looked up.
They saw the Ruo Water sweeping across the sky in a mighty torrent. Wherever it touched the formation inscriptions of the defensive arrays, they immediately dissolved.
The Ruo Water, once the Heavenly River that protected the Heavenly Court, could absorb and dissolve all rules and divine patterns.
The Hidden Corpse stood atop the Ruo Water's waves, his blood-red wings reflecting a crimson glow across the sky. His face was noble and cold. He raised a hand to tear open the sea of clouds and, carrying an endless aura of Ancestor Divine Qi, headed toward the Heavenly Palace.
"It's him... he actually dares to storm the Heavenly Court..." The gods standing on the Overlord Ridge were all pinned down by the aura emanating from the Hidden Corpse, unable to move.
Someone tried to fully activate the defensive divine formation, but it was too late. The sound of the Ruo Water's flow was louder than thunder, seeming to come from everywhere.
Anyone who dared to make a rash move would be killed with a single thought.
A God Venerable-level powerhouse, his face full of worry, watched the Hidden Corpse and the Ruo Water disappear into the sea of clouds and said, "This is what it means to be invincible below the Ancestor level. Even the Mother of Ruo Water has been subdued. I'm afraid only the Heavenly Venerable, if he emerges from seclusion, can handle this."
The Mother of Ruo Water was a Half-Ancestor-level existence.
Gai Mie stood within the Five Elements Temple, gazing at the Ruo Water and the blood light in the sky, his tiger-like eyes gleaming.
The aura emanating from the Hidden Corpse, even from millions of miles away, still put immense pressure on him.
This pressure rivaled that of the great figures of yesteryear, such as Xuanyuan Taihao, Heavenly Mother, and Fengdu Dadi.
However, compared to the Dragon Scales, it was still far inferior.
After all, the Ancestral Dragon Corpse was not just an ancient Ancestor corpse. It possessed a pair of highly active dragon horns, along with some dragon scales and flesh, containing the original power of the Ancestral Dragon in its prime.
That power originated from the peak of the Witch Ancestor. No one below the Ancestor level could contend with it.
Gai Mie had seen it once at the Dragon Lord's place.
That time, the Dragon Lord had nearly suppressed him using the power of the Ancestral Dragon Corpse.
Since then, Gai Mie had never again challenged the Dragon Lord.
The Peacock Heavenly Empress stood behind Gai Mie and said softly, "It seems something has really happened in the Heavenly Palace! Should we stay or flee?"
"You want to flee?" Gai Mie asked.
The Peacock Heavenly Empress said, "The aura and heavenly secrets of the Heavenly Palace have been sealed off by the spiritual power of some supreme existence. You can't tell that today is completely different from before, can you? This storm is so violent that people like us are like withered leaves and rotten grass, easily ground to ashes."
Gai Mie stood tall and firm like a mountain peak, his voice cold and sharp: "Sometimes, you do need to cherish your life and avoid the edge of the blade. But other times, you must charge into the storm to have a chance at survival. If you always run away, always choose the most comfortable way to live, then you are destined to only be a dependent of the strong."
"This time, I choose to fight!"
"Boom!"
Space trembled, and the halls of the Heavenly Palace shook.
The Ruo Water, spanning one hundred and eight thousand miles, appeared in the star sea manifested by Murong Duiji's extreme spiritual power. Waves rose ten thousand zhang high, and the roar of the water was deafening.
Void Heaven was the first to act, wielding the Heavenly Punishment Divine Light and Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, raising his sword to meet the attack.
The divine light shone like an eternal lantern, and the divine thunder was like a million rivers of lightning.
"Whoosh!"
A single sword strike, connecting heaven and earth, stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. Its form was like a crescent moon, slashing toward the crest of the Ruo Water.
The Mother of Ruo Water's massive liquid body surged up from the wave, a million miles high. Her hair was like silver silk, her legs like heavenly pillars. She formed hand seals, manipulating the water to strike back.
The sword light and the liquid body formed by the Mother of Ruo Water exploded simultaneously, turning into a torrential downpour.
In the rain,
lightning flashed and thunder roared, with blood clouds rolling.
The Hidden Corpse's gaze was cold and deep, his pupils like blood-red amber. He held the golden scepter horizontally, clashing with the full-force thrust of Void Heaven's sword. Sparks scattered, burning holes in space.
The sheer force was like the entire universe pressing down, flipping the star sea.
The Hidden Corpse spread all his blood-red wings, retreating along the Ruo Water to dissipate Void Heaven's powerful sword momentum.
"With the blood energy of an Ancestor's corpse, is this all you've got?"
Void Heaven's momentum was like a rainbow. The lines on his face emitted a sharp brilliance, adding to his ferocity and edge.
"Relying on the legacy left by the Sword Ancestor, you still don't show the momentum of being invincible under heaven."
The Hidden Corpse retorted. The golden scepter in his hand emitted dense, vein-like patterns. After spinning it once, its power greatly increased, clashing heavily with the war sword.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two exchanged blows, and soon the Ruo Water was severed. The Mother of Ruo Water revealed her true form and fled into the distance.
Although she was a Half-Ancestor, she could only dodge Void Heaven's sword, not daring to engage in close combat.
Having already been injured in her previous fight with the Hidden Corpse, her strength was greatly diminished, and she could not unleash her Half-Ancestor-level combat power.
"Sword Twenty-Six!"
Void Heaven intended to execute Sword Twenty-Six.
But the Hidden Corpse was extremely fast, traversing time and space, causing time in that space to flow backward. He arrived a moment before Void Heaven could strike, bringing the golden scepter down on his head.
Void Heaven halted his sword technique, using his body as a sword to charge forward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two disappeared into the star sea. After a breath, they reappeared and clashed again.
In an instant, they vanished once more. The two were locked in combat within the domain of time.
Sometimes they leaped into the future, sometimes into the past.
If not for the power of the Ancestor Grand Talisman, the star sea manifested by Murong Duiji's spiritual power field would have long collapsed under their battle.
Of course, with Void Heaven no longer restraining Murong Duiji, the Ancestor Talisman Flame surging from the Heaven's Will World-Burning Divine Talisman completely overwhelmed the Heavenly Order, crushing the countless shadows within it and heading straight for the Five Directions Divine Hall.
The defenders of the Five Directions Divine Hall—Jing Daoren, Xiang Chunan, Qingsi Xue, Bian Zhuang War God, Xianxia Chi, and Zhen Yuan—along with the gods inside the hall, were already burning their blood, vowing to live or die with the Heavenly Palace.
Zhang Ruochen stood on a cliff of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Mountain, showing no intention of intervening. He calmly observed the entire battlefield.
A mysterious and profound spiritual power occasionally surged from an unknown time-space, wandering through the Heavenly Punishment Divine Mountain, clearly searching for traces and aura of the "Life-Death Heavenly Venerable."
But Zhang Ruochen had already leaped beyond the Three Realms, outside the Five Elements. No matter how high the opponent's spiritual power was, they found nothing.
The small Heavenly Palace, within this limited space, was where he controlled the universe.
All heavenly secrets were what he wanted the outside world to know. All traces were what he wanted the outside world to see. It could be said that, up to now, no one could determine whether the "Life-Death Heavenly Venerable" was in the Heavenly Court.
Unless an Ancestor personally came to investigate.
Feng Tian, wearing a veil and taking on A Fuya's form and appearance, appeared at the foot of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Mountain. Looking up, she saw the extraordinary figure standing proudly on the cliff above.
"So the Heavenly Venerable has already emerged from seclusion," she said.
Zhang Ruochen didn't even glance at her. "You shouldn't be here. You should be heading to the Central Divine Hall."
"The thirty-thousand-year agreement has been fulfilled. The matter of the Heavenly Palace has nothing to do with me anymore."
Feng Tian didn't like the condescending attitude of the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable, treating her like a subordinate.
In her view, theirs was a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship.
The reason Feng Tian dared to have such a mindset before an Ancestor was that she was the Hall Master of the Destiny Temple, arguably the spokesperson of the entire Hell Realm.
As long as the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable still intended to oppose the God Realm, he would never dare to do anything to her.
With strength, influence, and value, she could secure her voice and maximum benefits even before an Ancestor.
Zhang Ruochen gave her a cold glance. That single glance contained the pressure of an Ancestor, striking straight at her soul.
It carried an irresistible, terrifying will.
Even with Feng Tian's current cultivation, she felt as if heaven and earth were collapsing, and her divine soul was about to be knocked out of her body.
"What a formidable Ancestor consciousness. The Life-Death Heavenly Venerable is far superior to the ordinary Ancestor and Murong Dominator."
Feng Tian thought to herself, but she also gained some confidence in the precarious situation.
It should be noted that back then, before entering the Ancestor realm, Zhang Ruochen and Heavenly Mother had joined forces. Although they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Corpse Yan, they still managed to cut off his crown.
Chi Yao, with Jin Ni and Zangjin Baihu, had punched through the God Realm's gate right in front of Murong Dominator.
This showed that Half-Ancestors were not entirely helpless against Ancestors.
Heavenly Mother had once said that even an Ancestor would have to pay a price to kill her. If properly prepared, there was even a chance to perish together with an Ancestor.
Feng Tian believed that her current combat power was not much inferior to that of Heavenly Mother and Zhang Ruochen back then. If she were determined to fight to the death, the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable would have to treat her with some respect.
But just now, a single look from the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable made her feel the vast gap in cultivation.
Could she really self-detonate her Ancestor Divine Source in front of him?
A single look had shattered the confidence she had spent thirty thousand years building to face an Ancestor, plunging her into self-doubt.
Feng Tian said, "It seems I underestimated the Heavenly Venerable."
"Oh? From what you're saying, do you think I fear breaking through to the ninety-sixth level of the Eternal True Ruler, which is why I haven't acted?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Feng Tian had indeed thought so. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to confront the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable head-on just now to vent her dissatisfaction. But now, she had a new perspective.
Feng Tian said, "The Eternal True Ruler bestowed the Ancestor Grand Talisman upon Murong Duiji, which has already broken the Ancestor's rules of the game. If the Heavenly Venerable doesn't act personally, I'm afraid the gods of the Heavenly Palace won't be able to hold out."
"Just an Ancestor Grand Talisman. Others might not be able to stop it, but you, Feng Caiyi, who possesses the power of three Ancestors, can't you fight it?" Zhang Ruochen said coldly.
"Then please, Heavenly Venerable, return the 'Fate Heavenly Scripture,' the Victory Crown, and the Heaven Cauldron. I will surely cut off Murong Duiji's head for you. Time is short, so please make your decision quickly."
Feng Tian knew that after this battle, she would definitely have to return to the Hell Realm.
This was her only chance to reclaim the Victory Crown and the Heaven Cauldron.
She was exploiting the crisis.
Otherwise, how could she have the qualifications to negotiate with the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable?
Zhang Ruochen looked at her coldly, then waved his sleeve, sending out six volumes of the "Fate Heavenly Scripture." He said, "The Victory Crown and the Heaven Cauldron are not for you to wield. I advise you not to bargain with an Ancestor unless you yourself have reached the Ancestor realm."
Feng Tian's gaze lifted slightly, looking at the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable with a hint of battle intent.
How could she willingly hand over the Victory Crown and the Heaven Cauldron?
"Does she really dare to act? Has the murderous aura she cultivated through the Path of Death become so strong that even the might of an Ancestor can't suppress it?"
Zhang Ruochen's harsh words were actually meant to warn her.
Because he knew Feng Tian's character all too well. She truly dared to strike at anyone and start any war.
The higher her cultivation, the greater the things she dared to do and could do.
This was a magnificent spirit worth praising, but it could also lead to tragic and heroic consequences.
If she truly believed that an Ancestor could be challenged, she might suffer a great loss in the future.
Even back then, when Zhang Ruochen and Heavenly Mother joined forces against Corpse Demon, they had not a shred of hope of victory. Perhaps only by self-detonating their divine sources could they make Corpse Demon hesitate.
Zhang Ruochen did not want to one day hear news from the starry sky that Feng Tian had self-detonated her divine source.
Zhang Ruochen raised his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw.
With a "crack," space shattered, and Feng Tian's Divine Realm World was pierced by him.
The Undying War God, Blood Absolute Clan Leader, and Ice King, who were hiding in the Demon Ancestor Ridge, were seized by Zhang Ruochen and thrown like scattered beans to the foot of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Mountain, landing in a heap.
The four at the foot of the mountain all changed expression.
What shocked Feng Tian was that the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable's perception had reached an incomprehensible level, able to penetrate her Divine Realm World.
It should be noted that her Divine Realm World was a fusion of the Demon Ancestor A Guan Nan's Ancestor Ridge, A Fuya's Ancestor Realm, and the Life Ancestor's Ancestor Realm.
It was built from three Ancestor Realms, with a realm strength rivaling that of the Sword Realm and the Heavenly Court.
Even the Demon Ancestor Ridge alone was more stable and substantial than the Ancestor Realms cultivated by true Ancestors.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable."
Faced with an absolute gap in cultivation, the three giants of the Undying Blood Clan all cupped their hands in salute.
Zhang Ruochen locked eyes with Feng Tian and said, "Go. Defeat the God Realm for me and suppress the Creation Ancestor. Then we'll be even. As for the Victory Crown and the Heaven Cauldron, don't even think about it. Hmph!"
The three giants were very straightforward and headed for the Central Divine Hall.
The Hidden Corpse had arrived, and he had already suppressed the Ruo Water and seized the Yellow Spring Scepter. Undoubtedly, his next step would be to take the Undying Bone and the Ancestor Blood Wings.
A once-in-a-millennium opportunity was right before them.
The Heavenly Court Universe and the God Realm were at odds, giving them a chance to counter-kill the Hidden Corpse.
They no longer had to fear the Ancestor of the God Realm, because the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable would handle Ancestor-level enemies for them.
The Ice King and the Blood Absolute Clan Leader turned back and pulled Feng Tian away.
They were genuinely worried that Feng Tian would irrationally confront the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable over the "Victory Crown" and the "Heaven Cauldron."
"Why are you arguing with that old ox-nosed Daoist? Although the four of us together can fight an Ancestor, the God Realm is the real enemy," the Blood Absolute Clan Leader transmitted to her.
"I just feel that this Life-Death Heavenly Venerable seems to be deliberately hiding something. My Fate Law consciousness is guiding me to act, to uncover his true face. Fate Law consciousness is connected to the auspicious and inauspicious among the twelve phases. Logically, it shouldn't lead me into disaster," Feng Tian said.
After reaching the peak of the Half-Ancestor realm, Feng Tian's Fate Twelve Phases had reached great perfection.
Life, death, auspiciousness, inauspiciousness, calamity, and fortune were all integrated into her Fate Law consciousness.
In terms of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and fate calculation, she believed she could rival an Ancestor.
The Ice King said, "What I'm curious about is why the Heavenly Venerable is more interested in the Creation Ancestor?"
The Undying War God said, "Don't worry about that. We've been stifled for twenty thousand years. In this battle, we must suppress the Hidden Corpse. The Half-Ancestors of the God Realm, wearing the corpses of our clan's ancestors, have forced us to hide everywhere. How infuriating!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The Undying War God, the Blood Absolute Clan Leader, and the Ice King shot out like three streams of blood light, flying over the top of the Central Divine Hall and heading into the boundless star sea. In an instant, the three released their esoterica and formed a Dominator Battle Formation. The Undying Blood God Dominator Dharma Image slowly rose, its aura even stronger than thirty thousand years ago, as if it would tear the star sea apart. With a single step, it crossed a hundred million miles.
"Excellent! The three of you were also hiding in the Heavenly Palace. Come and help this old man! Today, we must suppress this Ancestor corpse and not let it continue to cultivate."
Void Heaven laughed heartily. His war sword fell like a woodcutter's axe, raining down like a storm.
Jing Daoren, inside the Central Divine Hall, was burning his blood to activate the Heavenly Order while casting envious glances in their direction.
Even though it was extremely dangerous, he desperately wanted to join the battle, suppress the Ruo Water, and complete the Five Elements to impact the Five Elements Ancestral Body.
Legend had it that a fully realized Five Elements Ancestral Body could rival the physical strength of an Ancestor.
Although he had been discouraged by Old Man Void, he had never lost heart.
He was too eager to advance!
Jing Daoren's eyes darted around. He saw Feng Yan standing outside the hall and said in a weak voice, "Rock Emperor, this poor Daoist can't hold on much longer... How about you take over for a while... Cough, cough... My blood is almost burned out..."
Feng Yan's expression changed, but he didn't suspect anything. He immediately flashed into the formation light barrier of the Central Divine Hall.
He had been standing outside the hall, both to guard against Zhang Hongchen and to assist Jing Daoren in coordinating the overall situation. Wherever support was needed, he would rush there immediately.
"Swish!"
Jing Daoren, though as round as a ball, moved like a runaway wild horse at this moment.
"Even if my blood burns out, this poor Daoist must die a glorious death. I leave this place to you!"
Feng Yan only felt a blur before his eyes. When he looked again, Jing Daoren had already charged into the spiritual power star sea, where Ancestor Talisman Flame was dispersing, heading for the Ruo Water scattered across the starry sky.
He was so vigorous and lively that Feng Yan began to doubt the truth of Jing Daoren's words.
The Ancestor Talisman Flame in the star sea was very thin. Jing Daoren, protected by the Ten-Wheel Golden Crow Great Sun Star, could withstand it.
But for a Heavenly Venerable-level figure to charge into the battlefield of top-tier Half-Ancestors was still extremely dangerous.
Feng Yan quickly guessed Jing Daoren's purpose and smiled bitterly: "This old fellow really doesn't want to live. Even if the Mother of Ruo Water is weakened, she is still a Half-Ancestor."
The pressure on the gods in the Central Divine Hall suddenly lessened. They all looked up at the colorful clouds formed by the Heavenly Order above.
They saw the majestic Demon Ancestor Ridge, with its countless peaks, appearing within the clouds, growing larger and larger.
Like a great world in the form of a mountain range, it slowly flew toward the Ancestor Talisman Flame.
From within the mountain range rose the Demon Ancestor's Ancestor rules and order, accompanied by rolling Ancestor-level divine Qi. The parasol divine tree growing on Taibai Peak to the north of the mountain range had descended to this era along with the Demon Ancestor Ridge. The Demon Ancestor's ancestral flame had once been preserved within it.
Now, this parasol divine tree was slowly absorbing the flames surging from the Heaven's Will World-Burning Divine Talisman.
"It's the power of the Demon Ancestor! The Demon Ancestor's power has blocked the Ancestor Talisman Flame."
"The Demon Ancestor Ridge can definitely block it. It was sent to this era by the Demon Ancestor to help us resist the Immortal and the Great Calamity."
The gods of the Heavenly Court were invigorated.
With the support of the Heavenly Order, the Demon Ancestor Ridge's confrontation with the Ancestor Talisman Flame gradually gained the upper hand.
Murong Duiji stood beneath the Heaven's Will World-Burning Divine Talisman, his gaze meeting that of "A Fuya" under the parasol divine tree from afar. His divine voice shook the heavens: "I knew you would act. Do you think that by controlling the Demon Ancestor Ridge, you can contend with the Ancestor Grand Talisman? The Demon Ancestor Ridge can hold out, but can you?"
"I have refined the cultivation of three Ancestors into one body. Whether in terms of cultivation level or the number of Ancestor rules, order, and divine Qi I can control, how can you possibly threaten me?"
Feng Tian bathed in the rolling flames, slowly raising her arms.
To her left and right, each appeared a Gate of Destiny the size of a star. Through the gates, one could see an Ancestor Realm inside.
They belonged to A Fuya and the Life Ancestor, respectively.
Murong Duiji frowned. The thought that "A Fuya" still had two Ancestor Divine Sources inside her made his head ache. No one wanted to fight such an opponent.
Even if an Ancestor came in person, they would have to think carefully about whether they could suppress her before she self-detonated her Ancestor Divine Sources.
But the appearance of the three giants of the Undying Blood Clan alongside A Fuya was too strange.
Was this really A Fuya?
Murong Duiji thought it was more likely Feng Caiyi.
"Twang!"
A earth-shattering bowstring sound rang out.
Without hesitation, Murong Duiji immediately mobilized more Talisman Flame to form a flame great bell.
The next moment, the Hongtian Arrow shot by Feng Tian collided with the flame great bell. The bell's sound echoed through heaven and earth, shaking many gods who were fighting in the Heavenly Palace to the ground.
Even the star sea universe manifested by Murong Duiji's spiritual power shook violently, with several cracks appearing.
The residual sound of the bell spread out through the cracks, echoing across the Heavenly Court.
Deep within a space rift not far from the Heavenly Court, a luxurious and ancient carriage was parked.
Pulling the carriage was a divine beast condensed from Ancestor rules.
Luo Sha and Guyi Jing stood beside the carriage, with an ancient mirror about a foot in diameter floating in front of them.
On the mirror's surface, the scene of the Heavenly Palace battlefield was displayed. Luo Sha said with a smile, "Jingjing, you lost! Now it's certain that the one in the Heavenly Palace is Feng Tian, not A Fuya, right?"
Guyi Jing had no way to refute.
From the moment the three giants of the Undying Blood Clan appeared, Feng Tian's identity was no longer in dispute.
"How did you determine that the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable would help Feng Tian instead of A Fuya?" Guyi Jing asked curiously.
"Secret!"
Luo Sha smiled mysteriously, her mood extremely joyful.
With this confirmation, she was even more convinced that the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable was the person she had guessed.
Guyi Jing looked back at the mirror and said solemnly, "With the appearance of Feng Tian and the three giants of the Undying Blood Clan, the God Realm's advantage has completely vanished. Next, Murong Duiji will probably be forced into a corner. I wonder if the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable is really in the Heavenly Palace?"
"He must be in the Heavenly Palace," Luo Sha said.
Guyi Jing said, "You seem to know him well?"
"Just a little!" Luo Sha was not modest at all.
In front of Guyi Jing, she didn't need to put on the stern demeanor of the Rakshasa Female Emperor; she could be very relaxed and at ease.
Guyi Jing glanced inadvertently at the carriage not far away. "If it really comes to an Ancestor-level confrontation, should we intervene?"
"It will never come to an Ancestor-level confrontation! With the Eternal True Ruler's wisdom, this is not how he fights." After a pause, Luo Sha added, "Of course, if an Ancestor-level confrontation does break out, we must intervene."
Guyi Jing asked, "Why?"
Luo Sha blinked and said, "Because Feng Tian, Void Heaven, and the Blood Absolute Clan Leader are all in the Heavenly Palace, right, Heavenly Mother?"
A voice came from the carriage: "This battle is not over yet. Beneath the Ancestor of the God Realm, there is still one person who has not appeared."
"Who?" Guyi Jing asked.
Luo Sha said, "Eternal Day among the Ten Thousand Generations Nine Ancestors."
Guyi Jing said, "Wushou Jiaye went to the Western Buddha Realm, and Heavenly Lord is stationed in Paradise Realm to prevent Shang the Bearded from destroying the main altar. As one of the Ten Thousand Generations Nine Ancestors, the Eternal Day Corpse should indeed be taking some action."
"He has most likely gone to the Ten Thousand Ruins Realm," Luo Sha said.
Guyi Jing said, "The Xuanyuan Clan?"
Luo Sha nodded and said, "In today's battle, the Eternal True Ruler has at least three goals. First, to test the identity of the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable and force him to appear."
"Second, to test the strength of the Heavenly Court Universe, thereby assessing the level of the power of all living beings."
"Third, to force all the hidden Heavenly Venerable-level and Half-Ancestor-level figures into the open. He wants to see how much everyone's strength has grown after thirty thousand years and whether he should continue to let these 'food' and 'medicine' grow."
"Of course, since it's a test, there are two outcomes: success and failure."
"If the test succeeds, the Eternal True Ruler and Murong Dominator will certainly have further measures, which I cannot speculate or deduce."
"However, they will likely fail today. They underestimated the strength of the cultivators in the Heavenly Court Universe. Unbeknownst to them, the new generation of talents has grown up and can stand on their own."
"They also underestimated human nature, thinking that cultivators from the Hell Realm would not help the Heavenly Court Universe and would not dare to oppose the God Realm. They thought that with just a Murong family and a Ji family, they could divide the Heavenly Court. In reality, those who defected were all weak-willed rats who amount to nothing."
"They even more underestimated the strategic resolve of the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable! What kind of person is the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable? He has seen all kinds of storms. How could he fall into their trap?"
Guyi Jing said, "So, you also believe that the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable is Hao Tian? If that's the case, once the Xuanyuan Clan suffers a catastrophic disaster, the Life-Death Heavenly Venerable may not be able to maintain his composure, right? The Heavenly Court Universe has no more experts! Even if there are, no one would have predicted that Eternal Day would go to the Ten Thousand Ruins Realm..."
Luo Sha said, "You're wrong. You underestimate the heroes of the world. There is still one person in the Heavenly Court Universe who has not acted. With the Heavenly Palace facing an unprecedented calamity, how could he continue to endure?"
"In this chess game of heaven and earth, Ancestors decide life and death, and you and I are all pawns. To win, we must fight. Even pawns must strive to take the lead."
"The Eternal True Ruler is arguably the most skilled chess player in the world. To be able to force a draw with him in a passive position is already a victory."
