In the past, whenever the Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain emerged, they would leave mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with blood flowing like rivers. No one dared stand in their way. Throughout the ages, even reigning Great Emperors had been wary of the four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain. No one had dared stop them from unleashing a Dark Turmoil and devouring living beings.
But today, Overlord Heavenly Venerable, a young powerhouse, had wiped them all out in one stroke.
"Overlord Heavenly Venerable really has defied the heavens."
"A Great Accomplished Tyrant Body a little over three thousand years old has proven his Dao and become a Heavenly Venerable. The long years ahead will all belong to his reign."
"He's this powerful right after proving his Dao. Once his foundations are stable, his strength will continue to grow. Who knows how powerful he'll be then?"
Everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands was shocked. Overlord Heavenly Venerable's power had surpassed all expectations.
Since ancient times, countless geniuses and countless special physiques had appeared.
But few had been like this Great Accomplished Tyrant Body. With a special physique, he had forged triumphantly ahead, cultivating until his Tyrant Body reached great accomplishment. Then he had sealed himself away for tens of thousands of years, only to succeed in proving his Dao as soon as he emerged again.
In this world, the rule was to press forward without hesitation, and the slightest disagreement led to killing. In many people's eyes, someone like Xiao Ping'an, who had yielded to a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and sealed himself away for tens of thousands of years, was a coward incapable of proving his Dao.
His Dao heart had already shattered, and he had lost the qualification to prove his Dao.
But that had not been the case.
Xiao Ping'an had broken his seal and shattered the Heavenly Heart Imprint in the shortest possible time and in the most domineering fashion, succeeding in proving his Dao.
Through Heaven-Piercing Dharma Eyes, people saw the deaths of the Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain.
One Dark Supreme after another exploded with a boom.
Their primordial spirits were ground to ash, while their bodies and essence blood were devoured by the Tyrant Bell.
They had been killed for good.
Many who saw Xiao Ping'an's might as he slew the Dark Supremes felt a chill run through their bodies. They did not even dare imagine a battle between Supremes.
Xiao Ping'an did not linger long at the Cosmic Frontier. After putting away the Dark Supremes' corpses and essence blood, he gathered up the fragments of their weapons as well.
The Dao-proving weapons of the four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain had been made from Eternal Blue Gold, Feathered Green Gold, Dragon Marked Black Gold, and Phoenix Blood Red Gold, respectively.
These Extreme Dao Weapons each contained a generous amount of divine gold.
Xiao Ping'an placed the weapon fragments inside his Tyrant Bell, leaving its weapon deity to devour and refine them on its own.
The Tyrant Bell had already fused with Divine Mark Purple Gold and Immortal Tear Green Gold. If it devoured these four divine golds as well, it would surely undergo an even more astonishing evolution.
There were nine divine golds in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. If he could gather them all, it would likely be easier to refine the bell into an Immortal Artifact, just like Emperor Venerable's Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Of course, it could be called easy, but it could also be called difficult.
In any case, if it were placed in the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains in the Mount Kunlun secret realm to be nurtured, there was a good chance it would succeed.
Those arrangements probably did not exist yet. After all, Emperor Venerable had yet to live out a new lifetime, establish the Ancient Heavenly Court, or take the name Emperor Venerable.
Back then, Emperor Venerable had refined the Immortal Ascension Cauldron into an Immortal Artifact when he had only lived out his second lifetime. That showed that the rules of this world allowed a weapon to become an Immortal Artifact ahead of its wielder.
If possible, Xiao Ping'an also hoped his weapon could become an Immortal Artifact ahead of him.
A cloud of ash flashed past, and four blood pills flew out of the Tyrant Bell. They were the bloodline essence of the four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain, condensed into four divine pills.
The four divine pills were not as heaven-defying as one might imagine. After all, the Dark Supremes had little time left and had exhausted too much of their lifespans. To stay alive, they could only seal themselves in immortal source and slumber. The essence they had left truly was not much.
Even so, this was the origin essence blood of Dark Supremes, equivalent to that of Great Emperors. If used to baptize the bodies of their descendants, its effects would probably be no weaker than those of an Immortal Divine Medicine.
Moreover, there was no need to worry about developing resistance to it, or about being unable to take an Immortal Divine Medicine to live out a new lifetime because one had taken too much.
The great battle had ended. With the lives of the four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain, Xiao Ping'an had forcefully announced to everyone that he was worthy of the title of Tenth Heavenly Venerate.
Overlord Heavenly Venerable was invincible in the present age.
The four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain were dead, and the great battle was over.
The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands erupted, with voices discussing it everywhere.
Xiao Ping'an was also thinking: having killed four Dark Supremes today, would he face a similar challenge someday?
When his blood and Qi were vigorous, he was invincible under heaven. In his later years, perhaps other Dark Supremes would seek to seize his origin essence blood.
No wonder those Dark Supremes huddled together for warmth, with several of them slumbering in a forbidden zone together.
The different dark forbidden zones were wary of one another too. The Dark Supremes were not so harmonious among themselves either. Perhaps they were scheming against one another, or even held grudges against each other.
This was not the time to ponder the matter deeply. Xiao Ping'an had more important things to attend to.
After killing the Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain, Xiao Ping'an did not linger. He had to return to Beast God Star as quickly as possible to stop others from seizing the treasures there.
A brilliant, blazing light flashed, and his figure vanished from the Cosmic Frontier.
When he appeared again, he had descended upon Beast God Star.
Cries and wails now filled Beast God Star, as countless beast-race powerhouses wept for their ancient ancestors.
These invincible beast god ancestors had been their pillars of support. With their deaths, everyone's faith had collapsed as well.
These beast gods had been idols to the birds and beasts, the ultimate goal on their path of cultivation. Now they had all died at Xiao Ping'an's hands, a tremendous blow to the beliefs they had always held.
Across Beast God Star, countless birds and beasts could not bear the blow and went mad.
Xiao Ping'an sat cross-legged atop Beast God Mountain, which had now been renamed Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
His gaze was cold and merciless. He did not intend to destroy the planet completely. He would take full possession of it, for this planet was the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star of later generations.
His immensely powerful divine might spread in every direction. One Great Saint after another on the planet, and even Quasi-Emperors, instantly burst into ash, body and spirit annihilated.
The countless birds and beasts on Beast God Star all trembled.
They sensed a Heavenly Venerate looking down on them from the starry sky. Everyone involuntarily knelt and kowtowed, truly unable to withstand the pressure any longer.
Xiao Ping'an did not kill all the birds and beasts on the planet. Instead, he used a secret technique similar to the Divine Deliverance Formula.
When Xiao Ping'an had read the original text, he had been very curious about the Divine Deliverance Art created by the Ruthless Great Emperor. Her birth was still millions of years away, so naturally the Divine Deliverance Art could not exist yet.
But similar cultivation techniques did already exist in this world.
After obtaining one, Xiao Ping'an studied it carefully and created a Divine Deliverance Art belonging exclusively to the Tyrant Body Lineage.
Its function was no weaker than that of the Divine Deliverance Art created by the Ruthless Great Emperor. This method likewise began at the origin, making people willingly submit to deliverance without even realizing it.
The more powerful the genius, the more this held true.
Xiao Ping'an immediately used the Divine Deliverance Art on Beast God Star, delivering all the birds and beasts who had survived.
That included the beast-race cultivators who had reached the Saint realm.
The entire planet belonged to him now.
He also engraved the planet with the Great Dao divine patterns unique to the Heavenly Tyrant Body. He named the planet the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star. The only difference was that Beast God Mountain had been named Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and the Tyrant Body Ancestral Cave was simply referred to as Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
It could also be called the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Ancient Cave.
"He's actually become this powerful. No one can rein him in."
"If we were willing to undergo Ultimate Sublimation, we could join forces and finish him off."
"We really were careless. We thought he had only just proven his Dao and that we could divide his origin essence blood among ourselves."
In those Life Forbidden Zones, Dark Supremes let out sighs.
Ordinarily, they would not awaken, but the astonishing energy fluctuations and Great Dao laws from the battle between Supremes had roused nearly all the Dark Supremes.
Xiao Ping'an had killed four Dark Supremes, leaving the others terrified. It seemed that if a Life Forbidden Zone had fewer than four Dark Supremes, it might no longer be secure.
For Xiao Ping'an really was capable of wiping them all out in one stroke.
At this moment, Xiao Ping'an was like a huge variable, leaving the Dark Supremes unable to remain calm.
At this very moment, Xiao Ping'an's home, an inconspicuous star at the Cosmic Frontier, erupted with excitement.
His clanspeople organized an extraordinarily grand celebration, and the festivities were lively beyond compare.
Xiao Ping'an had succeeded in proving his Dao, first slaying Carefree Heavenly Venerate and then the four Dark Supremes of Beast God Mountain. His prestige was unrivaled.
Xiao Ping'an had originally intended to go to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Ancient Cave to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, and from then on begin looking for a way to live out a new lifetime.
Sensing his clanspeople's cheers, Xiao Ping'an waved his hand and forcibly plucked the planet from the Cosmic Frontier. Then, using supreme magic power to protect the living beings upon it, he refined the planet into Beast God Star as well.
Beast God Star had truly become the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star.
The cultivation environment here was so excellent, and the territory was many times more vast. His clanspeople were extremely pleased.
What was more, the countless powerful birds and beasts here were as obedient as servants. All of Xiao Ping'an's clanspeople, whether strong or weak, gained countless benefits here.
Xiao Ping'an's clanspeople cried out excitedly, "Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
"Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
"Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
Xiao Ping'an's honored title echoed through the starry sky, and his clanspeople rose to a glorious pinnacle.
With Overlord Heavenly Venerable, known as the Tenth Heavenly Venerate, holding the fort, no one would dare trouble this place even if a Dark Turmoil broke out.
Moreover, Xiao Ping'an had proven his Dao with the Heavenly Tyrant Body, making his bloodline suppression exceptionally powerful, especially after he settled on this planet.
Even if Xiao Ping'an did nothing but cultivate here, it would be enough to make the entire planet incomparably domineering and fill it with the Great Dao divine patterns unique to the Heavenly Tyrant Body. Any other bloodline that came here would be suppressed.
Xiao Ping'an had succeeded in proving his Dao. The suppression of his Great Dao and bloodline would last at least ten thousand years before slowly fading.
During those ten thousand years and more, all peerless heavenly geniuses would be suppressed by him.
Xiao Ping'an had not done it deliberately, but it truly made people hate him.
Xiao Ping'an had now become a powerful Heavenly Venerate. Others could talk all they liked; even if they resented him, there was nothing they could do to him.
And if Xiao Ping'an sensed it, a single strand of divine sense could snap their whole family out of existence.
So many people felt unbearably stifled. They wanted to say a few words, yet did not dare speak loudly. They could only curse him inwardly before reluctantly sealing themselves away in Divine Source Liquid.
Seeing all his clanspeople so excited and hearing the clamor of voices everywhere, Xiao Ping'an was happy too.
He restrained his presence, letting not the slightest trace escape. After all, his clanspeople varied greatly in strength, from those unable to cultivate to powerhouses in the Great Saint Realm. None of them could withstand his pressure.
Xiao Ping'an decided to hold a grand banquet for the clanspeople who had moved to this planet.
After Xiao Ping'an became a Heavenly Venerate, the great powers had wanted to come pay their respects but could not find him.
Now they had finally found the place and found Xiao Ping'an.
The great sacred lands and aristocratic families all came, sending their leading figures with congratulatory gifts.
Representatives of the various forbidden zones also came to offer congratulations, bringing lavish gifts.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Ping'an would reign supreme under heaven and throughout the universe for the next ten or twenty thousand years, perhaps even tens of thousands of years. All beings in heaven and earth would prostrate themselves at his feet.
Moreover, Xiao Ping'an truly had the strength to threaten those Dark Supremes. Whatever they might have thought, they all sent congratulatory gifts.
From that day on, the name Tyrant Body Ancestral Star spread throughout the universe.
The Heavenly Tyrant Body Lineage formally rose to prominence, suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and welcoming its most glorious era.
After the banquet, Xiao Ping'an saw his clanspeople off and headed for the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Ancient Cave.
Only after entering the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Ancient Cave did Xiao Ping'an understand why several Great Accomplished Tyrant Bodies could be sealed here at the same time.
The ancient cave was filled with silvery-white Primordial Life Stone, radiating abundant vitality.
Just like the Primordial Ancient Mine, it contained so much Primordial Life Stone.
To Dark Supremes seeking to endure in the world, it was undoubtedly of immeasurable value.
Deep within the ancient cave, Xiao Ping'an also saw countless rays of multicolored light, with one Dao platform after another faintly visible among them.
Or ancient stone steles.
The presence they gave off was that of immortals. Xiao Ping'an suspected they might have come from the Immortal Domain, or been personally refined by immortals.
Countless rays of silvery-white Taichu immortal light had flooded the place.
It was easy to imagine that Great Accomplished Tyrant Bodies sealed here could surely maintain extraordinarily vigorous vitality.
Xiao Ping'an picked up a piece of Primordial Life Stone. Myriad rays of multicolored light shone from it, its life force surged, and countless strands of Chaos Qi gathered around it.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ping'an put away about a tenth of the Primordial Life Stone. He did not intend to refine it all, but to carefully comprehend the essence of the Great Dao within it.
Xiao Ping'an also discovered a Divine Spring Water vein flowing with dense life force deep within the ancient cave.
The Divine Spring Water gathered into an enormous lake, crystalline and brilliant, radiating endless life force.
This Divine Spring Water was truly remarkable. At the very least, it was comparable to the life spring water found in those forbidden zones and could be used to nurture Immortal Divine Medicines.
