Chapter 890: Chapter 454: Wind and Clouds Stir! The Path to Heaven Appears

For billions of years, the Ancestral Realm Battle, held every five hundred years, has become a well-known grand event in this universe.

As the Ancestral Realm Battle approaches, even the half-gods in remote areas, though unaware of the existence of the ‘Ancestral Realm Order’, gradually hear tales of the battle.

Behind the scenes, an invisible force envelops the world, secretly guiding and leading more half-gods to join the war.

With only ten days left until the new Ancestral Realm Battle, dark currents surge, and the top echelons of major forces are paying close attention.

In the most core area of the East Nether Sacred Land, ‘East Nether Sacred Realm.’

A river hundreds of kilometers wide and tens of millions of kilometers long, this is the most famous ‘East Nether River’ of the Holy Realm, with a history of a million years, and many mysteries lie within its currents.

“Boom~” In one area of the river, a huge whirlpool suddenly emerged, followed by the violent churning of the water, and a bare-chested young man flew out, his body radiating golden light.

“Roar~” Beneath the golden light, intricate gold patterns faintly emerged on his skin.

The aura released by these patterns intertwined and vaguely formed the Phantom of an Exotic Beast on his back, exuding an ancient and powerful presence.

The Phantom of the Exotic Beast almost enveloped the young man, emitting astonishing killing intent that induced fear.

Whew!

Without any sound, a figure in a green robe appeared in the void, his aura ethereal as if exiled from the divine realm, smiling at the golden-lit youth: “Lianyun, you have finally mastered, elevating this Combat Technique to the True God level.”

“Master.” The golden-lit youth, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately suppressed his aura and bowed respectfully: “It is all thanks to Master’s help, not only guiding me for a long time but also bestowing upon me the True River of Laws and many Exotic Treasures. Only then did your disciple achieve today’s success and took this critical step.”

The figure in the green robe was none other than the highest leader of the East Nether Sacred Land—Lord East.

“External things are only aids.”

“Whether one can achieve success ultimately depends on oneself.” Lord East said: “I have helped you with all my might, even letting you cultivate for an additional five hundred years, all for the ‘Ancestral Realm Battle.’ Now, with only ten days left until this session, I hope you will not let the Holy Land down, nor yourself.”

“Disciple understands.” The Semi-Divine Lianyun solemnly said: “Disciple will do their utmost to claim the first place.”

He was absolutely confident.

Being a Demigod of the Eight Star Veins and having comprehended True God level moves for decades, his overall strength had become extremely terrifying.

However, over the years, there were not many in the world who knew of his existence.

“Claim the first place?”

“It won’t be easy.” Lord East shook his head: “This session of the Ancestral Realm Battle is different from the one you attended five hundred years ago; you’ve been in Concealed Cultivation for too long… This is the latest intelligence collected by the Holy Land, take a look.”

Whew! Lord East waved his hand, and a strand of invisible light flew into the mind of Semi-Divine Lianyun.

A torrent of information rose to his mind.

“Jing Kui of Jue Xing Ancient City? Li Yuan? Dong Pan?”

“Heavenly Snake Ancient City, the birth of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent?”

“Changqing Ancient City…” A trace of surprise flashed in Semi-Divine Lianyun’s eyes: “Master, why have so many formidable people emerged in this session?”

In the intelligence collected by Lord East, there were over a hundred half-gods from various powerful forces of the world. Although most probably were not as strong as him, they were still not to be underestimated.

The most powerful ones were no less his equals.

In most Ancestral Realm Battles, such strength would have the potential to claim first place.

“There is a change in the world.”

“Millions of years ago, the world had already undergone significant changes, but it has become more and more unstable recently.” Lord East shook his head.

Semi-Divine Lianyun listened intently.

How significant is the Master, standing at the pinnacle of the world, to say that there is a change in the world?

Could it be that some great event is about to unfold?

“You need only understand a bit, it’s not largely related to you for now.” Lord East looked at Semi-Divine Lianyun and said softly: “In the future, if you can achieve Heavenly Divine status, you will naturally understand, you have the potential of a Heavenly Divine… I do not expect you to win first place in the Ancestral Realm Battle, just obtaining the Ancestral Realm Order will be considered a success.”

“Yes.” Semi-Divine Lianyun replied.

After seeing the intelligence on the geniuses of various major forces, although he believed himself to be the strongest, he still aspired to win first place but did not dare make a rash promise.

He knew his Master did not like to hear boasting.

But to obtain the Ancestral Realm Order? Semi-Divine Lianyun truly believed he had absolute certainty of this.

“Furthermore, if there is an opportunity to kill ‘Xu Yuan’ of Jue Xing Ancient City, it would be fair competition during the Ancestral Realm Battle, and no one can object.” Lord East spoke softly: “I do not wish for him to live.”

“Xu Yuan? Is that the one with the powerful Soul Attack? Disciple has taken note.” Semi-Divine Lianyun said: “Among the ‘Shock Gold Nine Transformations’ includes a Soul Defense Technique, coupled with the Soul Will disciple has honed for hundreds of years, it will not be difficult to block his Soul Attack.”

“His Material Attack should be negligible.” Semi-Divine Lianyun said.

In his view, only a few years have passed; how much could Xu Yuan have grown?

“Teacher?”

Semi-Divine Lianyun asked in confusion: “Although Xu Yuan is a prodigy, after all, he is just a demigod. Why is teacher making a special mention of him?”

“No need to ask further, just do as instructed.” Lord East frowned.

Semi-Divine Lianyun’s words brought back unpleasant memories for him.

The death of True God Black Blade was a dishonor to him and the entire East Nether Sacred Land.

A Heavenly Divine cares greatly about face.

To personally deal with Xu Yuan? Lord East would neither deign to do so, nor would it provoke a war between two powerful entities.

However, if Semi-Divine Lianyun publicly killed Xu Yuan in the Ancestral Realm Battle, it would be a satisfying act of revenge.

At that time, Jiang Yuan True God would have nothing to say.

“Yes, Master.”

…

The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities are the sovereigns of this world, but Heavenly Snake Ancient City resides beyond the heavens and rarely involves itself with the continent; therefore, on Jue Xing Continent, it is essentially a contest for dominance between two powers.
