“I should now be considered a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor,” Ye Tian murmured to himself.
Moreover, he wasn’t just any newly ascended Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor. He was one of the most top-tier Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors, with power far exceeding what it had been before.
More importantly, he possessed a major accomplishnt Forbidden Body. This allowed him to face multiple top-tier Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors without fear. He could even ensure his survival against an ordinary Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
Additionally, Ye Tian had only just broken through to the Dao Ancestor realm, and his power was certain to increase significantly in the near term.
For example, he could casually cultivate a Grand Thousand Dao Technique or practice a Dao Ancestor-level cultivation thod.
In short, with just a little more ti, he could easily break through to the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor realm.
anwhile,
Within the Profound Void Archaic Realm, nurous True Ancestors were breaking through to the Dao Ancestor realm.
Without the restrictions of rules, as long as the True Ancestors felt confident in their ability to ascend, they could attempt to do so.
Although the successive plans of the Heavenly Emperor Palace had caused the fall of many True Ancestors within the Profound Void Archaic Realm, there were still quite a few who t the requirents to ascend.
However, not all True Ancestors succeeded in their ascensions. So failed.
…
The Human Race.
After a period of relocation, the Human Race had essentially settled in a brand-new territory, a domain completely their own.
Moreover, several Dao Ancestors had erged among the Human Race.
After all, not everyone aspired to beco a top-tier True Ancestor, a Pinnacle True Ancestor, or an Invincible True Ancestor. Many lacked the resources or talent to aim that high. Once they reached the peak of the Grand Dao Realm, they began attempting Harmony.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for a few lucky individuals among the Human Race to achieve success and beco Dao Ancestors.
As ti passed, it was inevitable that the number of Human Dao Ancestors would continue to grow.
However, Ye Tian held his Nine Limits Legion to a much higher standard. Those who failed to reach the level of Pinnacle True Ancestor were not permitted to attempt ascension.
For the geniuses of the Nine Limits Legion, the Pinnacle True Ancestor realm was the minimum requirent. If soone could ascend as an Invincible True Ancestor before attempting to break through to the Dao Ancestor realm, it would be even better—though such a feat was exceedingly difficult.
…
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm had long since stabilized. A vast number of unclaid territories had been divided among various forces.
Due to the Profound Void Archaic Realm absorbing nurous Domain Realm Fragnts, which transford into prival continents, many sects relocated from relic spaces to the newly ford prival continents within the Profound Void Archaic Realm. These sects began recruiting talents from across the realm.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm gradually began to exhibit the characteristics of a Domain Realm and was steadily evolving toward that status.
Additionally, the Profound Void Archaic Realm adopted a hierarchical classification system for forces, dividing them from First Heaven forces to Ninth Heaven forces. Any force that failed to et the standard of a First Heaven force could not occupy territory. Such forces were confined to starry sky continents, planets, or specific worlds.
The native forces of the Dao Mountain Domain were generally classified as Second Heaven or Third Heaven forces. Both the Starhorn Beast Clan and the Forbidden Palace were classified as Fifth Heaven forces.
Regrettably, none of the original Dao Mountain Domain forces were ranked as Sixth Heaven forces. This was because none of them currently had a Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
Of course.
The forces of the Vast Sea Domain had essentially integrated into the Dao Mountain Domain. They could no longer be considered part of the Divine Heaven Domain’s forces, and distinctions among them had blurred over ti.
On this day.
The void trembled. In the central region of the Profound Void Archaic Realm, a cluster of palaces erged from the turbulent flow of ti and space. The resulting shockwaves were so imnse that countless Dao Ancestors extended their spiritual senses to investigate.
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace erges!”
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace erges!”
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace erges!”
The voices of the three Palace Masters—Palace Master Azure Dragon, Palace Master Zhenwu, and Palace Master White Tiger—resounded throughout the entire Profound Void Archaic Realm.
At this mont, all the forces within the realm beca aware of the ergence of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Emperor Palace began to demonstrate a portion of its power to deter other factions from foolishly provoking them.
Boom! The three Palace Masters released the auras of Half-Step Domain Ancestors. Their terrifying strength far surpassed that of Invincible Dao Ancestors, leaving all Dao Ancestors who sensed it deeply shaken.
Next, a host of Imperial Monarchs appeared around the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Dozens of invincible figures seed to stand firm within the flow of ti and space. The sheer number—tens of them—stunned countless forces into silence.
This ant that the Heavenly Emperor Palace possessed at least several dozen Invincible Dao Ancestors. In contrast, the three Ninth Heaven forces had, at most, only a few Invincible Dao Ancestors each. While the exact number of Invincible Dao Ancestors in Blackwind Mountain was unclear, it could not possibly approach this scale.
After all, becoming an Invincible Dao Ancestor was no trivial matter. For a Dao Ancestor to elevate their Grand Dao to the absolute peak and transcend into the realm of an Invincible Dao Ancestor was an exceedingly arduous feat.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor Palace revealed its Heavenly Army! Unlike ordinary armies, the Heavenly Army was composed entirely of Dao Ancestors. First Heaven to Third Heaven Dao Ancestors served as soldiers, Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestors acted as squad leaders, Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors served as regintal commanders, while Pinnacle Dao Ancestors commanded entire divisions.
It was important to note that “Heavenly Army” was a collective term, not a singular military unit.
For instance, this ti, the Heavenly Emperor Palace displayed ten legions. The White Tiger Legion, under the command of Palace Master White Tiger, was managed by over a dozen Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Similarly, the Azure Dragon Legion and the Zhenwu Legion, led respectively by Palace Masters Azure Dragon and Zhenwu, were each controlled by over a dozen Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.
The other seven legions were the Vermillion Bird Legion, Taotie Legion, Tiger Roar Legion, Black Tortoise Legion, Dragon Roar Legion, Golden Crow Legion, and the Slaughter Legion.
Each legion boasted a force of 100,000 mbers—100,000 Dao Ancestors. Together, the ten legions amounted to a staggering 1,000,000 Dao Ancestors.
The sight of so many Dao Ancestors left everyone in shock. Even Ye Tian’s pupils contracted as he gained a newfound understanding of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s might.
“No wonder the Heavenly Emperor Palace remains utterly unfazed, constantly outmaneuvering other forces without fear. So, their strength has already reached such a level. It makes sense now why, back in the Vast Sea Domain, no one dared provoke them,” Ye Tian murmured to himself.
Although the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Vast Sea Domain Ancestor was no longer present, the sheer power of the palace ensured that few would dare challenge them.
Of course, the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor Palace was undeniably weaker than it had been in the past.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had caused the deaths of many True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, angering nurous factions. Though these grievances were not outwardly displayed, it was likely that many of them secretly harbored deep hatred and would not hesitate to seek revenge when the opportunity arose.
After showcasing its power, the Heavenly Emperor Palace refrained from making any grand moves and simply announced a new rule.
All Ninth Heaven forces were required to offer resources to the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Furthermore, any geniuses within the Profound Void Archaic Realm could choose to join the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Reserve Army or Genius Barracks.
This demand enraged many factions!
