Supreme Warrior in the City

"The words of the Master of Feather Spirit Palace just now, everyone heard them!" Su Yang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Many of the almighty beings from the Immortal Palace have already left and will soon arrive in the Nine Realms. Henceforth, our situation will only become troublesome. Therefore, we must prepare everything in advance to prevent being caught off guard when the forces of the Immortal Palace attack!"

In the past, if Su Yang spoke in this way, surely no one would pay him any mind. However, now no one dared to hold even the slightest objection against Su Yang. Even the Immortal Venerable looked at Su Yang with awe and respect.

After all, anyone valued by the Three Great Ancient is certainly no simple figure. Moreover, Qi’er’s attitude towards Su Yang made it abundantly clear, even to a fool, what was happening.

Based on this situation, Su Yang’s future status might just be that of the Human Emperor’s son-in-law. The Human Emperor and his daughter were both the most powerful during the Primordial Times, so even if Su Yang achieved nothing, no one would dare underestimate him!

What’s more, Su Yang had gained the admiration of both the Buddha Venerable and the Taoist Venerable, a background truly astonishing. In such circumstances, who would dare to oppose Su Yang anymore—it’s as if they wished for a longer life?

Moreover, ever since the Nine-headed Demon Yuan met Qi’er, he has been following Su Yang obediently like a docile dog. If anyone dared show the slightest dissatisfaction towards Su Yang, he would pounce to kill them instantly.

The Immortal Venerable felt somewhat reluctant, but with the current trend, what could he do?

Subsequently, everyone discussed with Su Yang the countermeasures against the Immortal Palace.

Previously, Su Yang had limited knowledge of the Immortal Palace and was unaware of its situation.

Only after meeting these Heavenly Warriors from the Primordial Times did Su Yang fully understand the details of the Immortal Palace.

The information generally matched what Su Yang had learned before. The Immortal Palace was the dwelling of those almighty beings known as the Ancient Guardian Gods.

The Immortal Palace, protected by Heaven, was originally where the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet was located and was a place with the most abundant Heavenly Level Spiritual Energy among all realms. So, only the mighty among the Guardian Gods could reside in the Immortal Palace.

It can be said that the Immortal Palace is like a place where true immortals reside. Consequently, many Guardian Gods have devoted their lives to the goal of entering the Immortal Palace.

During the Primordial War, the Three Great Ancient beings dragged the Immortal Palace down to the mortal realm and extracted the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. The Guardian Gods inside had no choice but to fight their way out of the Immortal Palace to reclaim the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, ultimately being led into the Ancient Battlefield.

This Ancient Battlefield was an exceedingly vast Great World during the Primordial Times.

This battle nearly shattered this Great World completely, and the world became the Ancient Battlefield.

Countless casualties on both sides, with nearly all Human Clan’s Heavenly Warriors dying in battle, and the Guardian Gods of the Immortal Palace suffering severe damage, forcing them to retreat to the Immortal Palace for survival.

The Three Great Ancient beings sacrificed their lives to forcibly seal the Immortal Palace, rendering the Guardian Gods unable to recover.

By the Ancient Times, the Guardian Gods found the lost Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet and gradually regained strength. Meanwhile, the Ancient Human Clan developed with the Earth Principle, making both sides equally powerful.

However, the Guardian Gods always searched for the lost Immortal Palace. They ultimately succeeded in finding it. The Ancient Guardian Gods then tried every method to draw out the mighty of the Immortal Palace.

Under such circumstances, the Ancient War broke out. Human Clan’s Heavenly Warriors united for a grand battle against the Ancient Guardian Gods, engaging in a life-and-death struggle outside the Immortal Palace.

In the end, this battle concluded with Heaven Slayers severing the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet and the Guardian Gods shattering the Earth Principle, resulting in mutual devastating losses.

Many Ancient Guardian Gods died outside the Immortal Palace; later, the few remaining Guardian Gods, before dying, created an Array of the Guardian Land, enveloping the Immortal Palace within it, leading to the current situation.

Upon hearing the accounts of the Primordial Times, Su Yang couldn’t help but feel deep emotion in his heart. The Heavenly Warriors of the Primordial Times truly sacrificed way too much, deserving all our admiration!

"By the way, Qi’er mentioned the Ancient Seven Heavenly Venerables earlier, what are they?" Su Yang asked curiously.

Everyone exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat somber.

The Eternal Divine Emperor sighed quietly and said, "The Ancient Seven Heavenly Venerables are, in a sense, incarnations of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Ah?" Su Yang was taken aback, "What do you mean? Isn’t the Heavenly Dao without thoughts? Just rules? How could it have incarnations?"

"The Heavenly Dao indeed has no thoughts or life, but the situation with the Ancient Seven Heavenly Venerables is a bit unique," the Eternal Divine Emperor replied, "Originally, the Seven Heavenly Venerables were seven Guardian Gods. These seven Guardian Gods were so devout to the Heavenly Dao Rules, to the point of madness, that they embodied the Dao, transform themselves entirely into Heavenly Dao Rules. Surprisingly, they forged another path, tremendously increasing their power to unmatchable levels that exceeded the Heavenly Realm, thus they are called Venerables!"

"It can be done this way?" Su Yang was amazed, "To embody the Dao, how is that accomplished?"

The Eternal Divine Emperor shrugged, "It is said that they disperse their entire body and soul, becoming part of the Heavenly Dao Rules."

"Doing so can create a Heavenly Venerable level mighty being?" Su Yang was shocked, "If other Guardian Gods did this, could they not rapidly increase their power too?"

The Eternal Divine Emperor shook his head, "It’s not so simple. Achieving this isn’t easy. To start, one must be accepted by the Heavenly Dao. Without this acceptance, merging with the Heavenly Dao Rules is impossible. During the Ancient Times, after the Seven Venerables achieved success, countless Guardian Gods attempted to replicate the feat, but all lost their lives in vain. After all, dispersing your body and soul means true death. How many could actually succeed?"

"Therefore, some say these seven were acknowledged or chosen by the Heavenly Dao, enabling them to achieve the status of Venerables. No one can become a Venerable afterward," another Ancient Strong Person remarked nearby.

"I see!" Su Yang frowned deeply, "With power surpassing the Heavenly Realm, the Venerables must be terrifyingly powerful?"

"Their strength is indeed terrifying and challenging to deal with," the Eternal Divine Emperor nodded, "However, they are not invincible. The Ancient Seven Heavenly Venerables have never appeared together, which makes it somewhat manageable."

"Why don’t they appear together?" Su Yang inquired, puzzled.

"Each Venerable represents a rule of the Heavenly Dao. Once the seven Venerables appear together, their overlapping rules would conflict— which rule takes precedence?" the Eternal Divine Emperor explained, "As a result, the seven Venerables have never shown up collectively, but rather emerged individually."

"I see!" Su Yang realized, then asked curiously, "Is a single Venerable easy to handle?"
