152: My senior brother is far more talented than me.

As he spoke, a look of disbelief crossed his face. Although he had achieved the Dao Integration Realm at that time, he only managed to stop two Royal Clan Demon Emperors. When he saw the nine great Demon Immortals descend, even he felt a sense of despair.

The Human Race had no Immortals, but the Heavenly Demon Realm did. Although they seemed to be suppressed by something and couldn't easily act, this was the fundamental reason why the Human Race couldn't stand up straight.

And it was on that day that he learned the whole truth: why the Heavenly Demon Realm was attacking the Lower Realm so frantically.

It turned out that the Demon Dao had calculated that the variable of the Human Race would be born in the Ancient Realm, and the so-called Ancient Realm was the Lower Realm... "Demon Immortals?" Shen Nian was confused. How could the Heavenly Demon Realm have an Immortal Realm? Wasn't it said that Immortal Ascension was impossible on the Eastern Profound Star?

"That would take too long to explain. Simply put, the entire Universe where the Eastern Profound Star and the Fourth Star Domain are located is controlled by the Demon Dao. The Chaos Heavenly Dao has been suppressed by it, which is why the Yao Race can achieve Immortal Ascension but the Human Race cannot. The Yao Race is powerful for this very reason. And the so-called Demon Dao is actually a Peak Ancient Realm Great Demon that the Demon Sealing Sect, the strongest Sect in the Fourth Star Domain back then, sealed here."

"The Great Demon of Mountains and Seas, Candle Nine Nethers!"

"Legend says it opens its eyes for day and closes them for night; it is utterly terrifying!"

"It swallowed the Fourth Star Domain in one gulp. Now, the entire Fourth Star Domain is inside its belly..."

"Back then, the Ancestor used Heaven-Defying means in a desperate situation to preserve half of the Eastern Profound Star's Chaos Heavenly Dao. When a Demon Immortal descends upon the Eastern Profound Star, their strength is greatly reduced, but outside of Eastern Profound Star, it is a different story..."

Hearing this, Shen Nian couldn't help but be stunned, showing a look of shock for the first time.

The Eastern Profound Star, where he had always lived, was actually inside the belly of a Great Demon?

In that case, no one could hide anything from it, right?

How powerful was it then? Wasn't it suppressed by the Demon Sealing Sect?

Did something go wrong?

"We don't know about the events of the ancient era, but there is one clue the Second Ancestor found: our Shen Family Ancestor might have originated from the Demon Sealing Sect!" Ninth Ancestor added, shock evident in his eyes. He had once visited the ruins left by the Demon Sealing Sect and deeply admired that boundless powerful Sect.

However, he also didn't know why the Great Demon suppressed by the Demon Sealing Sect suddenly escaped, or what happened to the Venerable who had sealed it!

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian's pupils contracted slightly.

He hadn't expected that the Ancestor would actually come from the Demon Sealing Sect?

Although it was a guess, Shen Nian felt it was very likely. After all, the Ancestor was so powerful—what Force on the Eastern Profound Star could accommodate him?

It could only be the Demon Sealing Sect.

"I've strayed from the topic," Ninth Ancestor withdrew his shocked expression, then said gravely, "The Demon Immortals descended. Although suppressed, they are no longer something the Dao Integration Realm can contend with. The Yao Race is determined to completely destroy all Dynasties in the Lower Realm!"

"It was also at this moment of life-or-death crisis that the Second Ancestor appeared. He alone fought against the nine great Demon Immortals. Even though he was immensely powerful, he couldn't bridge the gap in Realm. Therefore, the Second Ancestor could only choose another path to Immortal Ascension. But the Second Ancestor himself never expected that the ensuing calamity would turn into blood clouds sweeping across the land, transforming dozens of Dynasties and billions of living beings entirely into blood mist..."

"The number of casualties was even greater than those killed by the Heavenly Demon Realm... This caused a huge problem for the Second Ancestor's mental state, and he nearly fell into depravity. Fortunately, the Old Human Emperor used the Art of Disintegration, protecting the final Great Xia with his own life, and then transmitted a Sanskrit chant to awaken the Second Ancestor. After achieving Immortal Ascension, the Second Ancestor's strength was terrifying and unparalleled. He killed the Demon Immortals with a flip of his hand, and the Heavenly Demon Realm retreated..." Ninth Ancestor spoke with a hint of self-reproach and helplessness.

In fact, what the Human Emperor's Art of Disintegration blocked back then was not the Yao Race, but the Second Ancestor's Immortal Tribulation!

After the Shen Family returned to the Five Domains back then, there was endless debate over this matter... Feeling ashamed of his actions toward the Human Race, the Second Ancestor sealed himself within the Cangtian Palace, only intending to act during major wars, hoping to wash away his sins this way.

After listening, Shen Nian fell silent. He truly hadn't expected the truth behind all this to be like this.

Immediately after.

He looked at the white-haired figure, speechless for a long time.

"Alright, you've seen everyone you needed to see, and everything that needed to be said has been said. Go back..." Eighth Ancestor spoke, his mood inevitably growing heavier.

Shen Nian asked, "What about the Ancestor..."

"Heh heh, if the Ancestor were still alive, how could the Yao Race dare to run rampant?" Eighth Ancestor replied with a light chuckle.

Even the Candle Nine Nethers was extremely wary of the Ancestor.

After returning to the courtyard.

Eighth Ancestor said, "Originally, I called you here this time to teach you the Method of the Void Return dao palace, but now it seems unnecessary..."

Ninth Ancestor, who was standing nearby, twitched his mouth. Eighth Lord, those were my lines!

Shen Nian nodded.

Whoosh!

A rope emitting divine radiance suddenly appeared. After Shen Nian took it, he was astonished by the energy contained within.

"This item is called the Immortal Binding Rope. It can lock down Dao Integration cultivators. It's the best thing Seventh Ancestor owns; I'm giving it to you," Eighth Ancestor said with a smile.

However, Ninth Ancestor's expression beside him was strange, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Then I thank Seventh Ancestor very much." Shen Nian put it away, cupping his hands in thanks.

At the same time.

[Ding, the Daughter of Destiny, Xia Youyue, found a Secret Realm in the Heavenly Demon Cave leading to the Ruins of an Ancient Supreme Divine Body owner, obtained an Opportunity, condensed a supreme bone, comprehended the supreme bone Divine Ability, Creation Heavenly Tribulation, and encountered her lifelong Dao Protector, Liu Xian. Realm increase: Nascent Soul Early Stage. Reward: 100 points for the Preacher. Extra Reward: chaos bone!]

Boom!

Silver light suddenly appeared in Shen Nian's eyes. The aura of endless Chaos initial formation circulated throughout his body. Inside his heart, a silver divine bone wrapped around the heart. The Chaos little person excitedly merged into it, causing the red heart to instantly turn silver.

Thump!

His heart beat, seemingly pulling on the Chaos. The strength of his Physical Body rose yet another level!

When he recovered his senses, he saw the two people in front of him staring dumbfounded. He awkwardly explained, "I just had a sudden realization and made a Breakthrough..."

He didn't want to, really; it was just that the reward came a bit too suddenly.

At this moment, Eighth Ancestor twitched his mouth, greatly shocked internally.

Holy crap!

This is too outrageous!

He just walked around and gained a realization?

Why didn't I gain a realization!

Ninth Ancestor beside him gasped, looking at the powerful blood Qi contained within that somewhat slender body, which even astonished him.

"Is this the Chaos Body?"

"He hasn't even Awakened its Qi and Blood power yet, and he's already comparable to a Minor Achievement ordinary Divine Body. If he reaches Major Achievement, what then?"

"I fear he might be able to defy Heaven and slay Immortals!"

At the same time.

Heavenly Demon Cave.

A spatial rift suddenly evolved.

A figure in black robes walked out, looking arrogant, golden light in her eyes, and a supreme bone inside her body emitting brilliant divine light.

"Sister Liu, everything I just told you wasn't a lie. My Senior Brother is truly too much of a Prodigy compared to me. Even with a supreme bone, there's no way I can surpass him..."

"I'll take you to meet him right now!"

"Youyue, you are still young. You don't understand the terror of the supreme bone. Not everyone has such a Heaven-Bestowed Divine Bone. Does your Senior Brother have one?"
