Chapter 1228: Palace Master Golden Crow!
TL: Etude
The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors had no knowledge of the Eternal Origin Stone Statue. Each of them flew over, attempting to take the statue. Upon realizing it could not be taken, they instead prepared to use it for cultivation insights.
At this moment, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors of the three Ninth Heaven forces, Blackwind Mountain, and the Heavenly Emperor Palace were quietly informed by the Half-Step Domain Ancestors. They avoided approaching the statue for cultivation. However, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors of the Eighth Heaven forces, as well as rogue cultivators, were unaware of the danger. Consequently, they began to comprehend near the Eternal Origin Stone Statue.
Suddenly.
The aura of a rogue cultivator Pinnacle Dao Ancestor rapidly diminished, and without a sound, they perished.
This was just the beginning. Soon after, several Pinnacle Dao Ancestors fell, nearly seven or eight in the blink of an eye. Even the Invincible Dao Ancestors were severely injured and on the brink of death.
“Retreat!”
The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors, unaware of the situation, finally understood. They retreated rapidly, no longer daring to comprehend near the statue.
“Damn it! The Half-Step Domain Ancestors must have known about this and only informed their people, leaving us in the dark!”
Some of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors were furious. They were fortunate to have hesitated for a moment in their comprehension; otherwise, they might have been among the fallen.At this time, Ye Tian also arrived at the scene and immediately received a transmitted warning from Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and the others.
“The Eternal Origin Stone Statue!”
This was Ye Tian’s first time hearing of such an object. Observing the situation, he realized that while the Eternal Origin Stone itself was secondary, the statue was anything but simple. Approaching it for comprehension could even injure a Half-Step Domain Ancestor.
However, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity mentioned that the Eternal Origin Stone Statue contained incredibly powerful Forbidden Grand Dao principles. If comprehended, it could be highly beneficial for their cultivation.
Moreover, this was the last world within the area, and most valuable items had already been collected.
Since they couldn’t handle the corpse of the Darkwing Roc Eagle, using the time to comprehend here was not considered a waste.
Ye Tian sat cross-legged at a safe distance from the Eternal Origin Stone Statue and began his comprehension.
Boom! The Eternal Origin Stone Statue projected vivid scenes—depictions of a terrifying giant ape battling within the Dark Forbidden Domain. It effortlessly slaughtered Forbidden Lifeforms, showcasing unfathomable power.
Every move it made was natural and seamless, brimming with endless mysteries.
Because of his considerable distance from the statue, the pressure on Ye Tian was not overwhelming, and he could barely endure it.
This kind of comprehension was akin to witnessing an unparalleled being demonstrating Forbidden Grand Dao principles firsthand. Just gaining a slight insight from such scenes was immensely rewarding.
“What kind of existence is this giant ape? It’s unbelievably powerful. Could it be that Forbidden Lifeforms aren’t the strongest beings within the Dark Forbidden Domain?” Ye Tian wondered.
He wanted to seek answers from Ouyang Jiu’er, but after carefully searching, he couldn’t locate her.
Since entering the internal world of the Darkwing Roc Eagle, Ye Tian hadn’t seen Ouyang Jiu’er. It seemed she had been keeping a low profile, likely to avoid revealing her identity to the Half-Step Domain Ancestors. At this point, he had no clue where she was.
However, based on his understanding of Ouyang Jiu’er, she was undoubtedly present somewhere.
He continued his comprehension. As time passed, Ye Tian’s understanding of the Forbidden Grand Dao deepened. By observing the battle scenes of this unparalleled existence, he gradually gained profound insights into Forbidden Dao Techniques and even began to grasp the direction for creating his own.
Given time, creating a Forbidden Dao Technique wouldn’t take long for him.
Moreover, the more he comprehended, the more he realized the terrifying might of that being.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The entire World of Metal began to quake violently.
It wasn’t just the World of Metal trembling; the entire corpse of the Darkwing Roc Eagle was vibrating intensely.
“What’s going on?” many Dao Ancestors began to panic.
“Everyone, leave immediately!” the Half-Step Domain Ancestors commanded in unison.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The Half-Step Domain Ancestors were the first to exit the World of Metal, traversing through its layers and swiftly leaving the internal world of the Darkwing Roc Eagle to return to the outside.
The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors quickly followed. Unlike when they had entered and explored world by world, they now knew the routes, making their departure much faster.
In a short time, all the Dao Ancestors who survived had left. Those who didn’t emerge had clearly fallen.
At that moment, Ye Tian sensed Ouyang Jiu’er’s presence.
Before departing, Ye Tian’s Copy Body ability had finally become usable again. Using it, he created a duplicate of himself. His true body took on the identity of the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, while the Copy Body replaced the Dark King.
Ye Tian emerged from the internal world but didn’t have time to converse with Ouyang Jiu’er.
Now, all eyes were focused on a few unfamiliar figures.
These individuals exuded powerful auras that were unmistakably those of Half-Step Domain Ancestors. However, their presences were entirely unfamiliar.
The strangers began attacking the Darkwing Roc Eagle—more precisely, its scales. It seemed they were attempting to dislodge the scales from its body.
Given the formidable strength of Forbidden Lifeforms, even a single scale was an absolute supreme treasure. With minimal refining, it could be forged into a top-grade Forbidden Weapon.
Among the newly appeared Half-Step Domain Ancestors, there were three in total. One of them appeared even more powerful than Palace Master Azure Dragon, wielding a top-grade Forbidden Weapon-level sword to continuously hack at the scales of the Darkwing Roc Eagle, causing the corpse to quake with every blow.
“So it’s Palace Master Golden Crow from the Heavenly Emperor Palace. I didn’t expect you to still be alive!”
Upon exiting, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity looked at the sword-wielding Half-Step Domain Ancestor and spoke.
With this statement, the identities of the three Half-Step Domain Ancestors were revealed—they were from the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Previously, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had already revealed four Half-Step Domain Ancestors. If these three were added, that made a total of seven Half-Step Domain Ancestors—a terrifying force!
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, are you provoking me?”
Palace Master Golden Crow halted his attacks and spoke in a cold voice.
As the strongest Palace Master under the command of Domain Ancestor Vast Sea within the Vast Sea Domain of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Palace Master Golden Crow’s status surpassed that of Palace Master Azure Dragon. However, it was rumored that he had perished in a battle within a Domain Realm. This was why Palace Master Azure Dragon had taken charge of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Now, with the appearance of Palace Master Golden Crow, it was clear that he had not fallen at all.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Palace Master Azure Dragon, Palace Master White Tiger, Palace Master Vermillion Bird, and Palace Master Zhenwu appeared one after another, gathering around Palace Master Golden Crow. The seven Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace stared down the three Half-Step Domain Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain, creating a tense atmosphere.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity suggested, “The Heavenly Emperor Palace wants to dismantle this Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse, correct? Let’s work together, disassemble it, and split it evenly. What do you think?”
However, Palace Master Golden Crow sneered and coldly threatened, “An even split? Impossible. This Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse belongs to the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Anyone who dares to oppose us will face death. Eternal Perpetuity, you know full well I have the power to kill you.”
Having learned about the Eternal Origin Stone Statue from Palace Master Azure Dragon, Palace Master Golden Crow became even greedier for the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse.
Now, with seven Palace Masters assembled and his unmatched combat strength, he was confident that they could take control of this treasure.
