Chapter 866: The Great Achievements of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, Purple Aura
As soon as the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables emerged, the entire universe trembled!
The myriad clans of the myriad realms, including the supreme powerhouses among them, all had their attention drawn and rushed towards the location of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.
Black Hole Core Zone.
Ye Feng and his two companions were looking at an image.
In the image, deep within the universe,
nine mysterious figures stood upon the starry sky, surrounded by countless Foreign Clan experts, each at the Supreme Saint level.
This was the lords of the Myriad Clans besieging the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables!
At that time, although the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, their aura was extremely terrifying.
They were capable of overpowering the Supreme Saints of the Myriad Clans!
As the images played, a grand battle was about to erupt.
The Nine Great Heavenly Venerables' majestic presence dominated the world; their casual strikes caused the universe starry sky to shatter.
Strong as the Supreme Saints were, they couldn't withstand a single move from them.
The image ended there.
Ye Feng hurriedly switched to the next image.
By then, the great war had already ended.
The Nine Great Heavenly Venerables stood proud at the pinnacle of the universe, unmatched by anyone.
"All clans shall perish, and the Human Race shall rise!"
The Nine Great Heavenly Venerables issued a grandiose declaration.
They used the carcasses of the Myriad Clans' Supreme Saints and the shattered cosmic rivers to create the brand-new Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Seeing this, the expressions of Ye Feng and his two companions changed dramatically.
"It turns out that the Three Thousand Great Worlds only have a history of a million years! This is truly unimaginable," Hu Feifei exclaimed in shock.
"But I remember that in Tianzhou there are many forbidden areas with a history of over a billion years!" The Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to understand this.
"Dumb Monkey!"
Hu Feifei placed her hands on her hips.
"When you were looking at the image, did you just look at the surface?"
"When the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables created the Three Thousand Realms, each Great Thousand World contained an ancestral land of one of the Myriad Clans and some ancient stars from the universe, which were refined into landmasses and finally pieced together."
"Therefore, each Great Thousand World appears to only have a history of a million years, but some regions on them are over a billion years old, or even ten billion!"
"Sect Leader, am I right?"
Hu Feifei turned her head to look at Ye Feng with pride.
"Yes, Feifei is right," Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
"The Monkey is going to cry now!" The Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey hugged his arms and squatted on Ye Feng's shoulder, a look of dejection on his face.
Ye Feng continued to flip through the images.
Next came the process of creating the Three Thousand Realms.
It could be seen that each of the Three Thousand Realms was bestowed with mighty power by the Heavenly Venerables.
But later on, the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables felt something was missing; they selected nine of the Great Thousand Worlds and poured their life's efforts into them, elevating them to the Heavenly Dao Realm level.
These nine worlds became the Nine Great Provinces.
"No wonder the nine Great Thousand Worlds of east, south, west, north, and central, known as the Upper Realms, are so powerful; it's because they contain the life's efforts of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables."
Ye Feng realized in a moment of clarity.
He kept flipping through.
After the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables completed the elevation of the Nine Great Provinces, their bodies had taken on an ethereal form.
Afterwards, they joined forces to create the Power Steles.
Each Great Thousand World had at least one.
Extra Power Steles were scattered across the universe, obtained by those who were fated by chance and coincidence.
However, at that time, the Power Steles were still in a sealed state and temporarily unusable.
Realizing this, Ye Feng said thoughtfully,
"No wonder there are only thirty thousand Saint Realm names on the Power Stele; it turns out that the experts listed are just the strong from the universe over the last million years and do not include the once-glorious Myriad Clans."
The reason why one can rank among the top hundred million on the Power God Ranking just by reaching the Peak of the Void Break is because there are few Human Race powerhouses.
Why are there so few?
Plainly speaking, it's because their history is not long enough.
The Myriad Clans of the universe have developed for nearly a billion years, giving birth to tens of thousands of Supreme Saints, hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Saints, and Heroic Spirits breaking past ten million, while the Saint Entry probably exceeded one hundred million.
And that is true glory.
If the Myriad Clans had not perished, the weakest of the Power God Ranking would have to be at the Saint Entry Realm.
Without the Saint Realm, there's no qualification even to be on the list.
In comparison, the Human Race has only developed for a million years.
Compared to the glorious billion-year history of the myriad cosmic clans, the history of the Human Race is too short; it's already quite impressive that tens of thousands of Saint Realm experts were born among them.
And during the first million years of development for the myriad clans, Saint Realm experts were few and far between, an aspect in which they were completely inferior to the Human Race.
By comparison, the development of the Human Race has been quite fast.
"The Human Race, with another million or ten million years of development, might even surpass the myriad clans."
"It's not that the myriad clans are too weak, but our Human Race is good at accumulating and exchanging knowledge, with countless ancestors leaving behind valuable experience that allows us to avoid many detours."
"Of course, the cultivation systems created by the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables are also a very key factor."
Ye Feng reflected emotionally.
The current cultivation path of Gazing Breath, Qi Refinement, Element Gathering, Spirit Sea, Divine Origin, Void Break, Quasi-Saint, Saint Entry, Saint Manifestation, Heavenly Saint, Supreme Saint, Heavenly Dao Realm... This path was created by the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.
This cultivation system is very mature.
The Human Race skipped the initial exploratory phase, and thus their development naturally accelerated.
"The great endeavors of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables truly deserve a place in history for their magnificent achievements!"
Ye Feng admired wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables did not leave behind their names, nor is there anyone qualified to communicate with them face-to-face.
The only person who had ever seen the true forms of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables was the lord of the myriad clans during the peak period of the universe.
Alas, they are all dead.
Tens of thousands of Supreme Saints all fell; that battle was truly bleak and terrifying!
"Let's keep reading!"
Ye Feng whispered, turning the page with his hand.
The subsequent records mainly detailed the developmental history of the Three Thousand Great Worlds and the battles of many Saint Realm experts.
The battles of the Human Race's Saint Realm experts were much more exquisite than those of the myriad clans.
The strong ones among the myriad clans were mostly focused on Body Cultivation.
Strictly speaking, the Ancient Giant God Clan evolved from an Ancient Race that acquired a certain bloodline.
By the time of the Human Race era, Body Cultivation was weak.
Most cultivators followed the path of Magic Cultivation.
The dazzling spells and exquisite Divine Skills became the mainstream in the development of Human Race cultivators.
During this period, the Three Thousand Great Worlds also faced crises.
A group of beings exuding Immortal Qi intruded into various realms, sweeping through countless strong ones and plundering a vast amount of precious cultivation resources.
"It's the people from the Immortal Clan!"
"No wonder the Three Thousand Realms hold such hatred towards the Immortal Clan; they've done such things that outrage both humans and gods. They deserve to be beaten up by everyone!"
Ye Feng murmured.
A hundred thousand years ago.
All of the seals on the Power Steles were automatically lifted.
Many strong ones could finally leave their names on them.
The Thunder Emperor from the Zhongzhou Unmatched Saint Sect emerged, powerfully claiming the top spot on the rankings, never to fall.
Sword God, Tyrant Emperor, Spirit Venerable, Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor...
These strong ones all successively made it onto the list.
The Human Race finally entered its first Peak Stage.
It was also at this time that the Nine Great Provinces, in their capacity as the "Upper Realms," took the lead in joining hands with all realms to forge the Twilight Battlefield.
The original purpose was to facilitate the contention for world fate among the realms, and incidentally, to hunt down those Ancient Heroic Spirits from the Immortal Realm.
Until tens of thousands of years ago.
A world-shaking battle erupted!
For some reason, the Overlord Emperor from the Ancient Giant God Clan was besieged by five top-level experts.
This battle had a profound impact.
Among those involved in the battle was the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.
However, the five strongest experts were no match for the Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor; even together, they could barely hold him down.
"Strange, how could this be?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng expressed confusion.
If it was just the five people, including Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, it would be impossible to suppress the Ancient Holy God Overlord Emperor, let alone dismember him.
There was something very wrong with this battle!
"Continue turning the pages!"
Ye Feng hurriedly flipped to the next scene.
This scene was eerily strange.
At the pinnacle of the resplendent universe starry sky.
The Overlord Emperor stood with his back to everyone, single-handedly battling the five strongest beings, including Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, and was still having the upper hand.
But, at a critical moment.
A weird purple aura appeared!
