The Supreme King Who Surpassed Ancient Glory!

"Back then, our clan's Progenitor foresaw that during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, heaven and earth would collapse, all races would bleed, and our Ox Clan would face total annihilation. He specially sealed me with supreme divine power, bestowed a secret art, and commanded me to awaken after the calamity to find a descendant who could truly lead the Ox Clan to rise."

"A descendant who could lead our clan to restore the ancient glory—or even surpass it... a Supreme King!"

"Now, I have finally found him."

Niu Qing had lived since the ancient era, witnessing the brutality of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity with his own eyes, the bloodshed of the great tribulation, and the Ox Clan's gradual decline from a mighty race of the Primordial World to its current state.

He had searched and hoped, but generation after generation, the Ox Clan grew weaker—not even a single Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal had emerged—driving him nearly to despair.

He guarded the Progenitor's dying command, waiting in this tiny Ox Clan for hundreds of thousands of years!

This solitude, this torment, would have driven any living being mad!

Until Niu Ben appeared.

Until that day, when he sensed that terrifying aura that made even his soul tremble!

Future Saint's Mount!

The weight of those six words was enough to crush the heavens!

What was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?

In the Primordial World, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal might reign supreme and roam freely.

But beneath a Saint, all were ants!

Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant in a Saint's eyes!

And what did a Saint's mount represent?

It was the Saint's face! The Saint's karma! The supreme glory that walked the lands of the Primordial World!

Even beating a dog meant considering its master!

To move against a Saint's mount was the most blatant provocation toward a Heavenly Dao Saint!

This backing was billions of times more terrifying than any Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal's cultivation!

This was the true hope for the Ox Clan's rise!

The true Supreme King from the Progenitor's dying command!

Such an identity, such an Origin and Foundation—this alone was the only hope to make the Ox Clan rise and restore the ancient glory!

"Please, Your Majesty, follow me to open the Treasure Vault left by the Progenitor."

"Alright."

Niu Ben slowly nodded and rose from his throne.

Under Niu Qing's lead, Niu Ben flew deep into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

The deeper they went, the more desolate the scenery became. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew thin and violent—clearly a place rarely visited by man.

Finally, they stopped before a barren stone mountain.

Niu Qing's expression turned extremely solemn. He formed hand seals and chanted ancient, obscure incantations.

As he cast his spell, the void ahead began to warp, and an enormous, invisible formation slowly emerged.

Countless runes swirled across the formation, radiating a powerful aura that blocked all detection.

"This is the final Treasure Vault left by our Ox Clan's Progenitor." Niu Qing's voice trembled slightly.

He pointed a finger, and a stream of divine power struck the formation's core.

Hum!

The great array silently split open a passage.

"Your Majesty, please enter."

Niu Ben did not hesitate and stepped inside.

The scene before him instantly shifted, as if he had entered an independent pocket world.

ROAR!

A roar filled with boundless fury and unwillingness exploded without warning across the entire pocket world!

Then, the whole world burst into flames.

Countless beings slaughtered each other madly on a blood-soaked battlefield. The war banners of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan blotted out the sky, and the cries of battle shattered the heavens.

A figure too towering to describe in words rose from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. The horns atop his head seemed capable of piercing the sky, and his body radiated a terrifying battle aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

With one punch, he ground swaths of the Phoenix Clan into bloody mist.

With one stomp, he crushed countless Dragon Clan members into meat paste.

Seeing this bloody and shocking scene, Niu Ben instantly understood—this must be the ancient battlefield of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.

And that towering figure was undoubtedly the Ox Clan's Progenitor!

The scene shifted.

Finally, above the Nine Heavens, a divine spear that pierced through heaven and earth appeared.

The spear was entwined with the supreme fortune of the Phoenix Clan.

As it descended, it tore through time and space, piercing the Indestructible Through All Calamities body of the Ox Clan Progenitor.

The scene froze at that moment, then shattered into pieces.

A figure, identical to the Progenitor yet ethereally unreal, appeared before Niu Ben.

"Since you can enter this place, you must be a descendant of my Ox Clan."

"I have left three treasures here, hoping you can lead our clan to restore the glory of ancient times."

With those words, the phantom dissipated completely.

Three items floated silently in midair.

A drop of golden essence blood, swirling with Chaos Qi as if containing a Great Thousand World.

A pair of pitch-black ox horns, covered in purple lightning patterns, radiating boundless destructive aura.

An ancient cultivation manual made from unknown beast hide.

Niu Ben's gaze swept over the three treasures.

That drop of essence blood was undoubtedly the Progenitor's Origin Blood, its contained power enough to transform any ox clan member completely.

The pair of ox horns was clearly a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, named Thunder Twin Horns, holding a sliver of Thunder Origin Power, unmatched in slaughter.

As for the manual, it was the supreme technique cultivated by the Ox Clan Progenitor, along with some divine abilities suited for ox clan cultivation.

The essence blood was useful to him—he could absorb it to boost his cultivation.

The manual, he naturally looked down on since he had the [Chaos Divine Ox Scripture], but he could bestow it upon his Clansmen.

As for the Thunder Twin Horns, Niu Ben had no intention of refining them either.

He already had enough Magic Treasures on him; he didn't lack this one.

He had other ideas.

Without overthinking, Niu Ben sat cross-legged and opened his mouth to inhale.

That drop of Progenitor's Essence Blood, brimming with vast energy, instantly turned into a golden Stream of Light and was swallowed into his stomach.

Boom!

An unimaginably violent force exploded within his body!

That power was pure to the extreme, domineering to the extreme!

The [Chaos Divine Ox Scripture] within Niu Ben spun wildly. In the Chaos Space of his Dantian, one Earth Fiend Divine Ox after another began to condense into form at a terrifying speed!

One!

Two!

Ten!

A hundred!

The entire small world trembled violently from the terrifying energy fluctuations within his body.

Time lost all meaning here.

No one knew how long passed.

The moment that drop of Progenitor's Essence Blood was completely refined and absorbed—

A terrifying aura, far surpassing before, erupted from Niu Ben, breaking through the bounds of this small world and soaring straight into the nine heavens!

Primordial Unity Golden Immortal mid-stage!

Primordial Unity Golden Immortal late-stage!

The bottlenecks of his cultivation, under the surge of this power, were shattered like paper!

Effortless and natural!

Niu Ben had officially stepped into the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal late-stage!

And in the Chaos Space of his Dantian, the number of Earth Fiend Divine Oxen finally settled at a terrifying figure.

Two thousand five hundred!

A full two thousand five hundred Earth Fiend Divine Oxen, each radiating a formidable aura, stood densely packed in his Chaos Space, like an invincible divine army ready to conquer the heavens!

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had also entered the fourth revolution, his physical body now comparable to a High-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure.
