Unrivaled Through the Ages, System Rewards
After speaking, Human Ancestor stood in the void and formed seals with both hands. Golden light surged from his entire body. A vast scene suddenly appeared behind him: the sun, moon, and stars illuminated mountains and rivers, while the mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees nourished all life.
An ancient, primordial presence filled the entire space. The ancient scene carried a powerful, terrifying presence, as though Human Ancestor were the creator who had brought all things into being.
The seven in the River of Time exclaimed in surprise, "That's Human Ancestor's phenomenon, All Things and All Life. I never thought he would actually use such a phenomenon."
"Legend says that All Things and All Life is a supreme phenomenon that gathers all things in heaven and earth into one. Even the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, which is immune to all phenomena, cannot resist All Things and All Life."
"And its overwhelming pressure can cover the heavens, and it also possesses the Power of All Living Beings. It's extraordinarily terrifying."
Yuan Zhexian was momentarily stunned as he looked at Human Ancestor's All Things and All Life phenomenon. Sensing how powerful and terrifying it was, he began to take it seriously.
He then formed seals with both hands. His presence surged, and the power of chaos around him spread throughout the space, meeting the light of the All Things and All Life phenomenon head-on. The space sizzled as the two forces scraped against each other.
The power of the Double Pupils in his eyes flickered with starlike light, and his six Supreme Bones erupted with powerful, terrifying divine radiance. His hands rapidly formed seals.
The Eternal Immortal Scripture circulated within him, and the Power of Eternity also surged wildly. He said to Human Ancestor, "Eternal Kingdom."
A vast phenomenon also appeared behind Yuan Zhexian. Within it was a vast kingdom, where immensely dense innate immortal Qi drifted everywhere.
Immortals could be seen walking about, men and women, young and old. The entire kingdom resembled a divine dynasty. Above it all, an enormous figure looked down over the entire kingdom, seemingly its emperor, sacred and inviolable.
The All Things and All Life phenomenon then transformed into a massive golden-white, nine-clawed dragon. Its earthshaking roar shattered the space, and its terrifying presence whipped up gusts of wind as it charged toward Yuan Zhexian.
Yuan Zhexian's Eternal Kingdom also transformed into a massive purple-gold, nine-clawed dragon, the same size as the golden-white dragon of All Things and All Life. The difference was that the purple-gold dragon actually had Double Pupils.
The two dragons wheeled through the sky, constantly clashing and biting at each other. Their terrifying presence tore through the space without cease, and the currents around their bodies whipped up immense gales. The two dragons darted back and forth through the void, every collision and bite making the space tremble incessantly.
Suddenly, Human Ancestor formed seals with both hands and said, "Power of All Living Beings." Platinum light then gathered in the mouth of the nine-clawed dragon. The power of that light was the Power of All Living Beings, gathering the power of all the human beings in heaven and earth. It was one of Human Ancestor's strongest moves.
Yuan Zhexian also spoke softly. "Power of Eternity." The purple-gold dragon then turned into a streak of purple-gold light and shot toward the platinum Power of All Living Beings.
The two rays of light collided in the void, locked against each other without either gaining the upper hand for a long time. Then Yuan Zhexian smiled faintly. Hehe... try this too.
Battle Secret, one of the Nine Secrets.
Approach Secret, one of the Nine Secrets.
All Secret, one of the Nine Secrets.
The Battle Secret was an extremely powerful offensive secret art that could simulate any attack and evolve all things.
The Approach Secret was a secret art that allowed one to enter the Divine Forbidden Domain, kill enemies above one's level, and become invincible among those of the same level.
The All Secret could increase strength, spiritual power, mental power, soul power, and other combat abilities tenfold.
Empowered by the three of the Nine Secrets, the purple-gold, nine-clawed dragon transformed from Yuan Zhexian's Eternal Kingdom pierced straight through the platinum, nine-clawed dragon transformed from Human Ancestor's All Things and All Life.
"Pff..."
Human Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood, and the phenomenon behind him dissolved into specks of starlight and vanished.
The seven in the River of Time were full of disbelief, stunned again and again, unable to believe it. Human Ancestor was simply too powerful, so powerful that he was arguably the strongest person from the era when heaven was first opened until now.
Yet such an absolute supreme expert had been defeated today, and by a five-year-old child at that. The phenomenon Human Ancestor had just transformed had gathered the Power of All Living Beings. The Power of All Living Beings! It was a power even the Heavenly Dao feared, yet someone had broken through it. They could hardly believe it.
Their second shock was Yuan Zhexian's physique, that heaven-defying physique and powerful cultivation art. Was this child the son of the Heavenly Dao? Why was there such a powerful monster in this world? They were also glad that Yuan Zhexian had not chosen one of the seven of them to challenge.
They reckoned that, among the seven of them, only Chaos Great Emperor could have lasted another move or two against Yuan Zhexian at the same realm. Any of the others would probably have been killed in a single move. They had seen just how terrifying Yuan Zhexian's final move had been.
At this moment, not only did Human Ancestor feel no disappointment at his defeat, he instead sensed it and burst out laughing.
"Haha! Satisfying, satisfying! I never thought the human race would have someone capable of defeating me. Young one, your talent and aptitude are far too heaven-defying. The golden age is not merely a great age, but an age of chaos as well."
"A heaven-defying prodigy like you is far too likely to die young. They will not allow a heaven-defying prodigy like you to appear. Even though the Yuan Clan protects your path, you must still be careful and cautious from now on."
"For your own sake, so that you may one day become a supreme expert between heaven and earth, and for the future of the human race... only a prodigy who has grown to maturity can become a supreme expert."
He then looked up at the sky. The seven from the River of Time also appeared here in the inner world. Human Ancestor said, "Do any of you have anything else to say?"
"And these are...?"
Yuan Zhexian looked at the seven in confusion. Human Ancestor then introduced them to him one by one. When Human Ancestor introduced Chaos Great Emperor, Yuan Zhexian looked him over with great curiosity.
"Boy, although your physique is far too heaven-defying, I was also the first person in heaven and earth to possess a Chaos Physique. Well? Interested in becoming my disciple? I can teach you many uses of the Chaos Physique, as well as secret arts."
"Hehe, no need," Yuan Zhexian declined.
"Boy... I..."
Chaos Great Emperor still refused to give up and wanted to say more, but Human Ancestor interrupted him.
"Chaos, say no more. He is from the Yuan Clan." Chaos Great Emperor understood at once and said no more.
Back when Chaos Great Emperor had been suppressing and killing all his enemies in the era when heaven was first opened, there had been a Lineage that stood high above the rest, unconcerned with worldly affairs. That Lineage was known as a taboo Lineage.
Its origins lay even further back, before heaven was opened, and it was extremely mysterious. Chaos Great Emperor had only learned of its existence after becoming a Great Emperor.
Chaos Great Emperor then said, "Boy, since you are from the Yuan Clan, I won't say any more. Human Ancestor is right. After the myriad races emerge into the world, they will not allow a heaven-defying prodigy like you to exist."
Yuan Zhexian bowed slightly to the eight of them. "Seniors, I deeply admire your contributions to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. I will keep your advice to me in my heart."
The eight, Human Ancestor among them, smiled faintly as they looked at the young man. Then they said, "Young one, you have already made yourself invincible. Becoming an immortal is inevitable. The end of the immortal road is littered with corpses, so be careful in all things. We will wait for you in the Immortal Realm." With that, the eight vanished from the space in a flash of light.

Reward cultivation art: Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Scripture.
The Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Scripture? It was a scripture created by a supreme figure of the Immortal Realm: guide the divine with strength, form elephants with the divine. With every gesture and movement came the strength of divine elephants. A human body was composed of 840 million particles.
Each particle was equivalent to a divine elephant, and a divine elephant was equivalent to one million jin. The Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Scripture had nine levels in total. The first level granted the strength of ten divine elephants, the second the strength of a hundred, and the third the strength of a thousand. At the ninth level, all of them would awaken. Then the physical body would become truly invincible, able to withstand an Immortal Emperor weapon with bare hands.
