Even the most monstrously gifted genius could not possibly break through to the Supreme realm in a short time.
Take Heaven's Punishment, for example. He had once been a Supreme, wielding the power of endless heavenly tribulations. Yet after falling to the Supreme Great Emperor realm, he still had not managed to charge back into the Supreme realm despite a long passage of time.
This showed just how difficult it was to reach the Supreme realm!
For other Supremes, even if they obtained an inheritance, they might become invincible among those of the same realm, or perhaps charge forward in triumph all the way to the Great Emperor realm.
But reaching the supreme rank still depended on opportunity and talent.
Relying on a Supreme inheritance to cultivate all the way to the Supreme realm was practically impossible. Otherwise, the various Supreme factions would already have produced heaps of Supreme experts.
Only the inheritance of the Annihilation Supreme was different!
Before the Ancient Immortal Realm broke away from the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court had been immensely powerful. It had encountered the Annihilation Supreme and even knew some secret details!
The reason the Annihilation Supreme had been able to battle three Supremes at once was entirely because of the Annihilation Sea.
Without the Annihilation Sea, the Annihilation Supreme's strength would only have counted as having just entered the Supreme realm—perhaps even somewhat below that.
Yet after obtaining the Annihilation Sea, the Annihilation Supreme's strength soared in a straight line, making him virtually invincible among Supremes!
One could see it from the golden Giant Octopus. So long as it remained within the Annihilation Sea and enjoyed its protection, even if a hundred opponents of the same realm came at it and bombarded it with everything they had, it might not suffer much
