TL: Etude
The strength of Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins was comparable to Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, ranking among the elites of the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm, though still slightly weaker than Palace Master Azure Dragon.
The key, however, lay in the fact that Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity specialized in the Forbidden Dao of Ti and the Forbidden Dao of Space, respectively. When these two combined forces, their power far exceeded a re sum of their strengths. As soon as Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins joined the battle, the duo imdiately suppressed Palace Master Azure Dragon.
Boom! Palace Master Azure Dragon was blasted away by the forbidden dao techniques unleashed by Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins. The Azure Dragon Sword in his hand flew out but was swiftly recalled back to his grasp.
Blood dripped from Palace Master Azure Dragon’s hand. While the injury was not severe, it sent a clear signal.
He could not defeat the combined forces of Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity!
Boom!! Palace Master White Tiger and Palace Master Zhenwu descended, taking their positions beside Palace Master Azure Dragon to confront Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity.
“Palace Master Azure Dragon, rescind the previous notice. The Heavenly Emperor Palace must not collect resources from the major forces, nor should it command other forces. If the Heavenly Emperor Palace seeks subordinate factions, that is your internal matter. However, forces of the Upper Three Heavens will not be permitted to beco subordinate forces!” proposed Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity.
Palace Master Azure Dragon was about to erupt in anger when Palace Master White Tiger interjected, agreeing, “Alright!”
With those words, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had effectively conceded.
Palace Master Azure Dragon glared at Palace Master White Tiger and demanded, “Palace Master White Tiger, why did you agree? With the strength of our Heavenly Emperor Palace, we do not need to fear Blackwind Mountain!”
No one knew what Palace Master White Tiger transmitted telepathically, but upon hearing it, Palace Master Azure Dragon quickly cald down. Without another word, he turned and left the area of ti-space turbulence with Palace Master White Tiger and Palace Master Zhenwu, returning to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Likewise, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity departed.
The three Half-Step Domain Ancestors from the Limitless Sky Sect, the Heavenly Sea Sect, and the Myriad Domains Divine Hall also took their leave one by one. The ti-space turbulence began to stabilize and would soon return to normal.
The observing Dao Ancestors retracted their spiritual senses, beginning private discussions amongst themselves.
This ti, though the Heavenly Emperor Palace had displayed terrifying strength, Blackwind Mountain’s sudden deploynt of two Half-Step Domain Ancestors was enough to shock all forces. Many began ranking Blackwind Mountain as a powerhouse second only to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
…
Human Race.
Standing beside Ye Tian was Ouyang Jiu’er.
At this mont, Ouyang Jiu’er had also stepped into the Dao Ancestor realm.
“Jiu’er, it seems the strength of the Heavenly Emperor Palace isn’t all that impressive. I didn’t expect Blackwind Mountain to have two Half-Step Domain Ancestors. If that’s the case, Blackwind Mountain could easily ally with a Ninth Heaven force to contend against the Heavenly Emperor Palace,” Ye Tian murmured.
“Brother Ye, you underestimate the forces of the Vast Sea Domain! Fully exposing all their strength is akin to courting destruction. Without a sect-annihilating war, no one knows the true foundation of a power. Can you be certain the Heavenly Emperor Palace only has three Half-Step Domain Ancestors?”
“This…” Ye Tian shook his head. He couldn’t guarantee it.
“Not to ntion, Blackwind Mountain definitely has more than two Half-Step Domain Ancestors,” Ouyang Jiu’er stated.
“What? Blackwind Mountain has more than two Half-Step Domain Ancestors?” Ye Tian exclaid in shock.
Ouyang Jiu’er smiled and said, “Do you rember the three Mountain Lords I ntioned before?”
“I rember!” Ye Tian nodded.
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins are not mountain lords. They were the first-generation Ti King and Space King, subordinate to the three great mountain lords!”
Ouyang Jiu’er explained, “Back then, the identities of the three great mountain lords were also incredibly mysterious. They are too ancient, and no records of them have been preserved. Even I don’t know much about them.
But if they are alive, their strength would undoubtedly surpass that of the Ti King and Space King! Moreover, the first generation of the Ten Kings aren’t necessarily the strongest! For example, your master wouldn’t be your match now. Just because soone is of a higher seniority, does it an their strength is necessarily greater than those who co later?”
“That makes sense!” Ye Tian suddenly realized.
Thinking along these lines, the strength of Blackwind Mountain was truly terrifying!
“Actually, this ti, the Heavenly Emperor Palace didn’t really intend to take control of all the major forces. They were rely probing!” Ouyang Jiu’er speculated.
“Probing? Could it be that Azure Dragon had been acting all along?” Ye Tian frowned.
“Not acting, but Palace Master Azure Dragon probably just wanted to force out the hidden Half-Step Domain Ancestors. This ti, forcing out five Half-Step Domain Ancestors ans the Heavenly Emperor Palace has achieved its purpose!
The Heavenly Emperor Palace has hidden a considerable amount of its power. This ti, they didn’t fully reveal it, but the Palace Masters are indeed the strongest combatants of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. The palace likely has so concealed Half-Step Domain Ancestors, though not as deeply hidden as Blackwind Mountain! After all, the Heavenly Emperor Palace is relatively young and not as ancient as Blackwind Mountain.
But the Heavenly Emperor Palace, who had a living Domain Ancestor, has left behind nurous trump cards. So of these could very well annihilate a Half-Step Domain Ancestor in a single strike!” Ouyang Jiu’er elaborated.
Listening to her explanation, Ye Tian couldn’t help but marvel at the forces of the Divine Heaven Domain. Each of them seed formidable, unlike the forces of the Dao Mountain Domain, which were far simpler and hardly concealed any hidden power.
That day.
Ye Tian arrived at the Wind King Small Domain.
This ti, he ca to et the Wind King and to formally beco a Heavenly King of Blackwind Mountain. After all, as a Dao Ancestor, continuing to serve as a Heavenly General was no longer fitting.
Of course, the position of a Heavenly General itself was already higher than that of a typical Heavenly King. Thus, when Ye Tian beca a Heavenly King, he was no ordinary one but a Great Heavenly King, ranking above the other Heavenly Kings and second only to the Ten Kings.
“Wind King!”
Ye Tian t the true form of the Wind King. Unlike before, the Wind King now wore a mask, concealing his true face. Clearly, the face revealed by his previous manifestation had been a fabricated appearance, not his real one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed the mask now.
“Heavenly General Nine Limits, you’ve co. No, I should now address you as Heavenly King Nine Limits!” The Wind King said.
Imdiately, the Wind King took out a Heavenly King Token. It was pure black and imbued with forbidden rules—a rare Great Heavenly King Token from Blackwind Mountain.
The Wind King handed a Great Heavenly King Token to Ye Tian, officially making him a Great Heavenly King of Blackwind Mountain.
Afterward, Blackwind Mountain held a grand feast to celebrate Ye Tian’s ascension to the rank of Great Heavenly King. The event was attended not only by nurous Heavenly Kings but also by the Wind King, Fire King, Gold King, Wood King, Ice King, and Ti King.
However, the lofty Invincible Dao Ancestors and Half-Step Domain Ancestors did not make an appearance.
This was only natural. If even a minor Great Heavenly King’s banquet required their presence, wouldn’t they be overwheld with such trivial matters? If not for the recent actions of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, which forced Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins to reveal themselves, even the Heavenly Kings of Blackwind Mountain wouldn’t have realized just how powerful their domain truly was!
After the banquet concluded, Ye Tian entered the Heavenly King Library of Blackwind Mountain.
This ti, he intended to select so Grand Thousand Dao Techniques to cultivate his Saber Dao!
