From the moment this news spread, it shocked the world. Anything connected to Celestial Venerables, even mere rumors and alley gossip, would become a topic of heated discussion as soon as it emerged.
That group was simply too scarce. Even compared to Imperial Sovereigns, who were themselves few in number, Celestial Venerables were pitifully rare. Of the Celestial Venerables known to the world today, one could count them on two hands. The most famous among them were naturally the Four Great Celestial Venerables of the Southeast, Northwest of the Creation God Dynasty, each regarded as an outstanding figure among Celestial Venerables.
With the power of one person alone, they could suppress an entire region.
But that did not mean the other Celestial Venerables received any less attention. As the strongest beings known to the world, their every movement drew countless eyes. Over innumerable years, generation after generation of myths and legends had deified them and placed them upon lofty thrones.
And what deified them was not their own boasting, but genuine achievements. Everyone could rattle off examples of Imperial Sovereigns challenging Celestial Venerables. Basically, they were all killed in a single move. If an Imperial Sovereign could escape alive from a Celestial Venerable's attack, it would be an immense honor, enough to make them famous even among Imperial Sovereigns.
As for an Imperial Sovereign killing a Celestial Venerable, no one had ever heard of such a thing. Yet now it had happened. Though the incident had erupted suddenly, countless super experts of the Eastern Region had witnessed it with their own eyes.
From the moment the two began fighting, to Ye Xiwen severely wounding the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor with that astonishing sword intent, and then the subsequent barrage of storm-like attacks that finally killed the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor.
