Ye Tian muttered to himself, “I should now be considered a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor.”
Furthermore, he wasn’t merely a fresh Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor. He ranked among the absolute elite of Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors, his strength immensely greater than before.
Even better, he had achieved major accomplishment in his Forbidden Body. With it, he could confront numerous top-tier Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors fearlessly and even survive clashes with a typical Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
Besides, Ye Tian had only recently stepped into the Dao Ancestor realm, and his might was destined to surge dramatically in the coming period.
He could, for instance, effortlessly master a Grand Thousand Dao Technique or train in a cultivation method suited for Dao Ancestors.
To sum up, just a short while longer, and reaching the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor realm would come easily to him.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Profound Void Archaic Realm, countless True Ancestors were advancing to become Dao Ancestors.
Free from binding rules, any True Ancestor who believed themselves ready could attempt the breakthrough.
Despite the Heavenly Emperor Palace's repeated schemes causing numerous True Ancestor deaths in the Profound Void Archaic Realm, many still qualified for ascension.
Yet, not every True Ancestor managed to succeed—some efforts ended in failure.
…
The Human Race.
After completing their move, the Human Race had fully established itself in a fresh territory entirely under their control.
In addition, multiple Dao Ancestors had risen among the Human Race.
Not everyone aimed for top-tier True Ancestor, Pinnacle True Ancestor, or Invincible True Ancestor status. Plenty lacked the talent or resources to pursue those peaks. At the Grand Dao Realm's summit, they started pursuing Harmony.
In these conditions, it was only natural that some fortunate Human Race members succeeded and ascended to Dao Ancestor.
Over time, the count of Human Dao Ancestors was bound to keep rising.
That said, Ye Tian demanded far more from his Nine Limits Legion. Ascension was banned for anyone short of Pinnacle True Ancestor.
For Nine Limits Legion prodigies, Pinnacle True Ancestor served as the bare minimum. Breaking through as an Invincible True Ancestor prior to Dao Ancestor would be preferable, albeit incredibly challenging.
…
One thousand years whisked by in a flash.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm had completely settled down, its expansive unoccupied lands now split among diverse powers.
Having absorbed vast Domain Realm Fragments that morphed into ancient continents, the Profound Void Archaic Realm saw many sects shift from relic dimensions to these new primeval lands, where they scouted geniuses from every corner.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm was increasingly showing Domain Realm traits, steadily progressing toward full transformation.
What's more, it implemented a tiered ranking for powers, from First Heaven to Ninth Heaven forces. Those below First Heaven couldn't claim lands, remaining limited to starry sky continents, planets, or isolated worlds.
Dao Mountain Domain's local powers typically fell into Second Heaven or Third Heaven categories. The Starhorn Beast Clan and Forbidden Palace both qualified as Fifth Heaven forces.
Sadly, no Dao Mountain Domain original power attained Sixth Heaven status, as none possessed a Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor yet.
Of course.
Vast Sea Domain powers had largely fused into the Dao Mountain Domain. They no longer counted as Divine Heaven Domain affiliates, with boundaries fading away.
On this day.
Space quaked violently. At the Profound Void Archaic Realm's heart, a majestic palace group burst forth from chaotic time-space currents. The colossal ripples prompted endless Dao Ancestors to probe with their divine senses.
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace emerges!”
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace emerges!”
“Henceforth, the Heavenly Emperor Palace emerges!”
Palace Master Azure Dragon, Palace Master Zhenwu, and Palace Master White Tiger—the three Palace Masters—thundered their proclamation across the whole Profound Void Archaic Realm.
In that instant, every power in the realm learned of the Heavenly Emperor Palace's return.
Right away, the Heavenly Emperor Palace flexed part of its formidable strength to discourage any rash aggressors.
Boom! Half-Step Domain Ancestor auras erupted from the three Palace Masters. Their horrifying might utterly eclipsed Invincible Dao Ancestors, jolting every perceiving Dao Ancestor to the core.
Soon after, swarms of Imperial Monarchs materialized beside the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Scores of invincible silhouettes defied the time-space torrents. Their vast quantity—dozens strong—silenced myriad powers in awe.
This revealed that the Heavenly Emperor Palace commanded no fewer than several dozen Invincible Dao Ancestors. By comparison, each of the three Ninth Heaven forces held just a handful at most. Blackwind Mountain's tally remained vague but fell far short of this magnitude.
After all, attaining Invincible Dao Ancestor status demanded extraordinary effort. Pushing one's Grand Dao to supreme perfection for transcendence proved brutally demanding.
On top of that, the Heavenly Emperor Palace unveiled its Heavenly Army! Distinct from regular troops, this army consisted purely of Dao Ancestors. First Heaven through Third Heaven Dao Ancestors filled soldier roles, Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestors led squads, Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors headed regiments, and Pinnacle Dao Ancestors oversaw divisions.
Crucially, “Heavenly Army” denoted the overall force, not a single formation.
This occasion saw the Heavenly Emperor Palace reveal ten legions. Palace Master White Tiger's White Tiger Legion fell under more than a dozen Pinnacle Dao Ancestors' oversight. Likewise, Palace Master Azure Dragon's Azure Dragon Legion and Palace Master Zhenwu's Zhenwu Legion each answered to over a dozen Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.
The seven additional legions included the Vermillion Bird Legion, Taotie Legion, Tiger Roar Legion, Black Tortoise Legion, Dragon Roar Legion, Golden Crow Legion, and Slaughter Legion.
Every legion mustered 100,000 strong—100,000 Dao Ancestors apiece. All ten combined yielded a mind-boggling 1,000,000 Dao Ancestors.
The spectacle of such Dao Ancestor hordes left all observers reeling. Ye Tian's eyes narrowed sharply, freshly grasping the Heavenly Emperor Palace's overwhelming dominance.
“No wonder the Heavenly Emperor Palace stays completely fearless, always outsmarting rivals with ease. Their power has soared to this extent. Now it clicks why nobody in the Vast Sea Domain ever challenged them,” Ye Tian whispered to himself.
Even without their Vast Sea Domain Ancestor, the palace's raw might dissuaded most from confrontation.
Naturally, the Heavenly Emperor Palace's former glory had dimmed considerably.
Besides, their actions had slain countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, inciting hidden fury from many powers. Though unspoken, these foes nursed profound grudges and awaited chances for vengeance.
Having paraded its strength, the Heavenly Emperor Palace held back from bold actions, merely decreeing a fresh mandate.
Ninth Heaven forces must supply resources to the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Moreover, Profound Void Archaic Realm geniuses were free to enlist in the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Reserve Army or Genius Barracks.
This edict ignited outrage across countless factions!
