The Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet Appears

"This???"

"What is this?" a powerful expert from an immortal holy land asked in confusion.

"This is the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet!"

Legend had it that the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet had existed since ancient times. It tested Body Tempering, Blood Moving, and Grotto Heaven separately, measuring values for the three great realms. To take a trial, one had to enter the world within the ancient tablet. Whichever realm was being tested, the challenger's cultivation would be suppressed to that realm. The values for all three realms were then combined to determine their place on the ranking. Everyone who made the ranking could receive a reward from the ancient tablet, and what they obtained would be supreme treasures, supreme precious medicines, or ancient cultivation techniques.

Any one of them was a treasure every faction would crack their heads fighting over. This was a heaven-sent opportunity! Unfortunately, only those with a bone age of sixteen or younger could participate.

"I have no chance anymore, sigh!!!" After lamenting for a moment, the immortal holy land expert continued, "But my holy land's holy son is only ten. His talent is unmatched under heaven, and his battle prowess has no equal. He'll definitely make the ranking."

Then, everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands froze for a moment before going completely wild!

"The Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet has actually appeared!"

When the ancient tablet appeared, a great age would follow. "This is a tremendous opportunity for our Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!"

"The three great extreme realms-there are so many terrifying physiques among the heavenly talents of our age."

"I really want to see who can make the ranking..."

The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands was in an uproar.

In Primordial Heaven stood a holy land of unparalleled splendor.

This was the Primordial Holy Land, one of Primordial Heaven's immortal holy lands.

The Primordial Holy Land traced its earliest origins to a Great Emperor of the Human Race. He was also one of the strongest members of the Human Race in his time, and his strength was terrifying enough to shake the heavens.

He founded the Primordial Holy Land at the very beginning, and he possessed the primordial god king physique. Although the primordial god king body ranked only below the ten great physiques, it was not much inferior to them. He called himself the Primordial Heavenly Emperor and was a Mythical Emperor. (The Great Emperor realm was further divided into the first through ninth heavens, Peak Great Emperor, Supreme Emperor, and Mythical Emperor.)

Although the present Primordial Holy Land was still far weaker than it had been at its origin, its foundations and strength could not be underestimated. It was unquestionably one of the very strongest factions in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

At this moment, countless disciples of the Primordial Holy Land gazed at the sky, their hearts full of fervor and anticipation. A handsome youth of fifteen or sixteen stood there in a long purple robe, a smile on his face. Behind him, the indistinct phantom of a god king stood between heaven and earth, radiating a mighty presence that made it hard for everyone to breathe.

"Haha, the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet has appeared! Our Primordial Holy Son possesses the primordial god king body, the same physique as Patriarch Primordial, and his battle prowess is also unrivaled under heaven. Our holy land's holy son will surely take first place on the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Plaque Ranking!" an ancient existence of the Primordial Holy Land said in the holy land's main hall.

"That's right. The holy son will surely seize first place and lead our Primordial Holy Land to glory!" another voice said, picking up where he had left off.

Everyone in the Primordial Holy Land had fervor in their eyes, like devoted believers.

Grand Purity Heaven.

At the Highest Purity Sect, a slender youth wrapped in a golden robe approached from afar. He was fourteen or fifteen, with a handsome, amiable face. Dao Qi enveloped his entire body, and countless streams of Dao Qi surged toward him through the surrounding space.

Divine light shone from his body, and his powerful presence carried supreme pressure! He gave the impression of being close to the Great Dao, of merging with it.

This young man seemed to be the will of the Great Dao itself, the son of the Heavenly Dao!

He was Dao Wudao!

The strongest Dao Son of the Highest Purity Sect's current generation!

He was also a timeless monstrous talent whom every powerful expert in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands believed would one day become a Great Emperor!

"Greetings, Lord Dao Son!"

"Lord Dao Son will surely take first place in the three great extreme realms!"

"Lord Holy Son will surely become the strongest timeless monstrous talent of this age and lead our entire sect to ascend as immortals." Everyone bowed with cupped hands, their voices full of respect and their eyes full of excitement.

In their eyes, first place on the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Plaque Ranking had been tailor-made for Dao Wudao. And they had only one reason for thinking so.

Dao Wudao possessed an exceedingly powerful physique in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

The physique ranked eighth among the three thousand physiques: the innate Dao body.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had countless heavenly talents and monstrous talents with extraordinary physiques. But the innate Dao body, one of the top ten physiques, was exceedingly rare.

Countless epochs had passed, yet fewer than ten heavenly talents had possessed an innate Dao body! Almost every one of them had surpassed the Great Emperor realm; excluding those who had fallen, even the least accomplished had ultimately become a Great Emperor.

At this moment, Dao Wudao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet and murmured to himself, "In this flourishing age of the Great Dao, I wonder how many heavenly talents and monstrous talents will emerge, and how many of them will be worthy of me making a move. What an age to look forward to."

Grand Firmament Heaven! The Ji Family's main hall.

The voice of an ancient, supreme existence rang out from the void. "The Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet has appeared at this time. This generation is bound to see a golden age, and it happens that our Ji Family's void body has burst onto the scene. In such a great age, our Ji Family should stand above all others."

"Indeed," another ancient existence replied. "That child Jingtian possesses a void body and is invincible among his peers. He'll surely sweep through this age. Have Jingtian prepare to take first place on the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Plaque Ranking."

The innate secret art of the void body, ranked fifth among the ten great physiques, could not only use Void Transformation to turn others' attacks into nothingness; its void space could also banish and seal opponents. Crucially, one could not find the coordinates of this space. The user could also use Void Transformation on himself, rendering any attack or move useless against the void body. Once fully developed, it could even use Void Transformation to turn an entire world into nothingness! That was why the void body ranked fifth among the strongest physiques.

From the deepest reaches of the Ji Family's ancestral grounds, the presence of someone with immensely powerful cultivation spread outward. Then a streak of light flew out, took the shape of a figure, and landed to Ji Jingtian's right.

Seeing this, Ji Jingtian respectfully cupped his hands.

"Father!"

To his right stood a middle-aged man with a perfectly ordinary face. Yet his eyes seemed to contain a vast expanse of stars, as though the entire cosmos lay within them.

He was the head of the Ji Family, Ji Tianming!

His strength was terrifying enough to pierce heaven and earth. He was now a powerful expert in the Supreme Saint Realm.

"Mm..."

"Jingtian, you're fifteen this year, and the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet has appeared at just the right time. You must strive for a place on the ranking. The Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet's rewards are an unparalleled opportunity."

Ji Tianming spoke calmly.

"Then, Father, where do you think I can place in this contest of extreme realms on the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Stele?"

Ji Jingtian asked, puzzled.

"You possess the void body and have mastered several secret arts. You've even cultivated our Ji Family's inherited technique, the Great Void Scripture, to the fourth level. By rights, you should be invincible in this world. I only fear an unforeseen variable."

"You mean the Yuan Clan?"

Ji Jingtian continued, still puzzled.

At this, Ji Tianming turned around and stared straight at Ji Jingtian.

"Jingtian! Your father was an unparalleled monstrous talent back then, but the Yuan Clan produced a Yuan Changsheng. That man possessed two physiques: the desolate ancient sacred body and the acquired solar physique. He was known as the strongest timeless monstrous talent of our era. For tens of thousands of years, he pressed down on us until we could hardly breathe, and I lost to him several times. Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was thin in that era, and there was no path to the imperial realm that could open."

"Otherwise..."

"He was already such a monstrous talent back then. I doubt his son will be any worse than him!"

"Jingtian, although your father lost to him, I hope my son won't lose to his. No matter what, you must defeat his son. Only by defeating Yuan Changsheng's son can you attain the imperial throne. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Ji Jingtian then said, "I will defeat him." At this moment, Ji Jingtian clenched both fists, and the light of nothingness flickered around him. His body faded in and out of sight, and a strange, powerful presence poured from him, causing the surrounding space to slowly undergo Void Transformation, turning from substance into nothingness!

Looking at the masterpiece he was most satisfied with in his life, Ji Tianming smiled faintly and said, "Yuan Changsheng! I truly look forward to seeing you again. Back then, you pressed down on me until I could hardly breathe. Now my son possesses a void body even stronger than yours. When my son defeats yours, don't pull a long face. Hahaha..."
