Eighth Rank Supreme Stage, Boundless Ancestor
Therefore, visitors from Lower Planes who possess the bloodline of divine beasts can stay where they are and wait for the arrival of their clan's powerful members, then return to their clans and utilize their clan's resources to return to their peak.
However, there is still a problem.
Bloodlines of Super Divine Beast such as the Heavenly Demon Marten, the Immortal Sacred Whale, and the Sea Giant do not exist in the Great Thousand World, or have long since disappeared from the river of history; they are unique to the Tianxuan Plane.
In other words, the Master of Space, Little Marten, Master of Primeval Desolation, and Master of Life and Death have no clan to rely on and must find their own opportunities.
The Six-Fingered Sacred Dragon Emperor, who was born into the Darkness Sacred Tiger Clan Dragon Clan, and Little Flame, who was born into the Dark Holy Tiger Clan, could stay on the Boundless Continent to wait for the arrival of their clan's experts. The True Dragon Tribe and the Darkness Sacred Tiger Clan are the bloodline sources of the Dragon Clan and Tiger Clan spirit beasts in the Great Thousand World, and their reputations are illustrious.
"I acted together with my Junior Sister."
As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, the Master of Life and Death hurriedly grabbed Ying Huanhuan's hand to indicate that the two sisters had already decided to travel the Great Thousand World.
"Then I'll take Qing Tan with me. I can teach her the complete version of the Great Darkness Sacred Scripture, and she'll be my formal disciple."
This is the Master of Darkness and his disciple, Qing Tan.
As the successor of the Master of Darkness's lineage, and wielding the Master of Darkness's Natal Spirit Treasure, the Darkness Sacred Scythe and the Darkness Ancestral Symbol, Qing Tan can be considered the best candidate to be the Master of Darkness's disciple.
Next up are the Master of Thunder and the Master of Primeval Desolation, two muscular giants and best buddies.
The free-spirited Devouring Master chose to accompany his junior brother, Master of Flames.
"Space, you shall come with me. It has been ten thousand years since we last met, and I have missed you dearly."
The Symbol Ancestor smiled and waved to the Master of Space.
He had never forgotten the Master of Space's delightful act of courting death during the day, and he was determined to give this disciple an unforgettable act of care.
The Master of Space behind the Symbol Ancestor's smile, instinctively felt a chill run down his spine and quickly pulled Little Marten, saying, "Teacher, disciple... disciple wants to travel with Little Marten and take care of the younger generation of the family."
"It won't affect anything. Let's travel together as a trio. What do you think, Little Marten?" Symbol Ancestor smiled nonchalantly.
"Symbol Ancestor is right."
Under the extremely desperate gaze of the Master of Space, Little Marten nodded without changing his expression. "Ancestor, I can't help you this time either."
"Very well, it's settled then. We'll head out first thing tomorrow morning..."
Lin Dong, who had already planned to travel alone, nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
"Boom!!!"
At the same time, a deafening roar suddenly erupted above the Northern Continent Li Family.
"Hahaha, where are the higher-ups of the Li Clan? Why don't they come to greet me, their ancestor?!"
The next moment, a loud and ancient laugh echoed throughout the ancestral land of the Li family in the Northern Continent, attracting a large number of powerful family members to move in response.
"Hmm, an Eighth Rank Supreme Stage? Could it be the Boundless Ancestor who dominated the Boundless Continent? What is he doing in my Northern Continent Li Family?"
As if sensing something, the Symbol Ancestor looked into the void and frowned slightly as he spoke.
"Let's go out and see for ourselves."
Lin Dong smiled noncommittally and led everyone to their feet and leave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
An endless black ocean swept out from the void, instantly encroaching on most of the airspace above the Li Northern Continent Li Family. An old man with white hair, dressed in a blue robe, was riding the waves, smiling as he looked down at the Clan Territory of this ancient clan that had existed for ten thousand years.
Faced with the rude intrusion of a powerful stranger, the Li family experts who rapidly ascended from below all showed unusual restraint, and even a hint of fear.
Boundless Ancestor, Eighth Rank Supreme Stage expert, and the ruler of the Boundless Continent.
The black ocean flowing beneath its feet is extraordinary. It was extracted and refined from the Water of the Netherworld by the Boundless Ancestor using his Connecting Heaven abilities. Each drop of seawater weighs tens of thousands of kilograms and is extremely corrosive.
Where the black torrent passes, it can reduce everything to nothingness.
This ruler of the Boundless Continent is a powerful being who walks the path of water.
"May I ask what brings you to the Northern Continent Li Family, Ancestor? Guang Yuan recall that our family just paid our tribute to the Boundless Palace this year."
Surrounded by seven or eight Supreme Stage experts from the family, the solemn-faced Li Clan Head carefully greeted the Blue-robed Old Man.
As the ruler of the Boundless Continent, the Boundless Ancestor collects exorbitant tributes from the forces within his territory every year, and the various forces, knowing their own inferiority, can only acquiesce to this.
"Oh, you just handed it in? Then hand it in again."
The Boundless Ancestor, standing with his hands behind his back, said nonchalantly.
"Ancestor, are you joking? This is against the rules."
The Li Clan Head exchanged glances with many elders in the clan and tentatively spoke.
The Northern Continent Li Family pays millions of drops of Supreme Spirit Fluid to the Boundless Ancestor every year.
It should be noted that the annual profits of the Northern Continent Li Family are only about two million drops of Supreme Spirit Fluid. After paying half of the tribute, the remainder is used to support the cultivation of the eight Supreme Stage experts in the family.
There are also a large number of experts in the Heaven Passage Stage within the clan, as well as clan members who are preparing to break through to the Three Minor Supreme Tribulations, all of whom need the supply of Supreme Spirit Fluid.
The Northern Continent Li Family is a large and powerful family, and even with more than one million Supreme Spirit Fluid, they could barely break even.
Leaving aside whether the clan can still produce these Supreme Spirit Fluid, even if they could, we absolutely cannot agree to it.
If they agree to this, how will the Northern Continent Li Family maintain their foothold in the Boundless Continent?
"Heh, rules? What are rules? In the Boundless Continent, I, the Boundless Ancestor, am the greatest rule. Li Guangyuan, I will only ask you one question: will your Northern Continent Li Family pay the offerings today or not?"
The Boundless Ancestor, standing atop a column of water, looked down at everyone with an indifferent expression.
Having a thorough understanding of the situation of various forces on the Boundless Continent, he naturally knew that the Northern Continent Li Family could not afford this tribute, and he did so on purpose.
Another force on the Boundless Continent, whose strength is comparable to that of the Northern Continent Li Family — the Dual Extremes Tower —is the former's old rival. A few days ago, they suddenly sent a secret message to the Boundless Palace:
The Northern Continent Li Family, whose lineage has endured for millennia, possesses a profound and rich heritage. Furthermore, they have a low-level Sacred Object that suppresses this heritage. If the patriarch is interested, he might as well have the Northern Continent Li Family offer up the treasure willingly, and the patriarch would gladly accept it.
The Boundless Ancestor was well aware of the Dual Extremes Tower's sinister intentions, but he didn't care.
Firstly, the Northern Continent Li Family An Ran for tens of thousands of years on the Boundless Continent. They existed long before the rise of the Northern Continent and are a rare ancient power.
Secondly, wealth can be a powerful motivator.
A powerful spiritual artifact of the Sacred Object level is something that even an Earth Supreme Stage expert might not possess. If his Boundless Ancestor were to obtain this treasure, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?
Therefore, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
Having made up his mind, the Boundless Ancestor went even further.
He planned to find a pretext to completely destroy the Northern Continent Li Family, not only to seize the possibly existing low-level Sacred Object, but also to plunder all their accumulated wealth over ten thousand years.
This is called "knocking on the bone to extract the marrow"!
"Ancestor, this..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Li Clan's senior members all changed.
