After the black light darted out, the powerhouses of the Ten Great Ancient Clans at the doorway exchanged glances. With their eyes meeting, they quickly realized that none of their clans had any special welcoming reaction.
The first one to emerge was not a core disciple of the Ten Great Ancient Clans.
This was a bit disappointing but not surprising, as there had always been lucky Loose Cultivators or geniuses from small clans who picked up fortunes.
Soon, everyone withdrew their attention, their eyes burning even more intensely as they focused on the slowly opening palace gate.
Immediately after, two streams of light with entirely different auras shot out from within the palace gate, their speeds were equally fast, each one choosing a different direction to swiftly vanish.
Then, the interior of the palace gate fell once again into a deathly silence.
The giant gate remained open with that crack, but the chaotic light vortex behind it no longer emitted any sound.
Such a sparse flow... this situation...
The top powerhouses of the Ancient Clans at the entrance were momentarily stunned. Then a surge of inexplicable excitement and anticipation rushed into their hearts.
This situation appears in the Ancient Books with only one possibility, and that is that within the Heaven Burial Palace, an absolute dominator has appeared—a peerless powerhouse who has slaughtered the majority of entrants in an overwhelming fashion.
It is highly likely that a Half-step Emperor from one of the clans has received unprecedented favor from Heavenly Fate, and may even have crossed that most crucial step to become a true Son of Heaven with complete status!
For any major Ancient Clan, this is earth-shattering news that could change the cosmic structure.
Ten or a hundred Half-step Emperors cannot compare to a true Son of Heaven!
As long as there is a Son of Heaven in the world, it means that an Ancient Ancestor will surely arise to suppress the Qi Fortune, which would be a transformative shift in the power balance of the entire Great Universe!
The gazes of many powerhouses became incomparably fervent, filled with expectation, locked onto that giant gate, hoping to sense the aura of their own clan.
Regardless of who dominated the Heaven Burial Palace and became the Son of Heaven, from this day forth, the Great Universe will undergo a monumental change.
Under countless expectant gazes, time slowly went by.
The chaotic light vortex behind the giant gate remained motionless.
Finally, after quite a long time, the towering heaven burial palace’s giant gate emitted an even deeper rumbling sound and began to slowly close.
The crack of the gate grew smaller and eventually closed tightly, blocking the chaotic light from flooding out.
The ancient Dao Patterns gradually dimmed, returning to the former dead silence, with no further motion.
The excitement and anticipation on the faces of the Ancient Clan powerhouses at the door instantly froze, and they could no longer maintain composure. Their expressions shattered inch by inch into disbelief, followed by a suffocating, chilling pallor devoid of any color.
The Heaven Burial Palace was not opening for the first time, and now that it had closed, this indicated that there were no longer any living creatures inside.
What... what does this mean?!
This means that out of a hundred thousand living creatures, those nurtured with countless resources by various clans, representing future hopes of top talents...
Only three survived?!
A full hundred thousand, only the three who just fled survived?! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"No, impossible!" an elder from the Star Moon Ancient Clan roared, trembling all over.
"A hundred thousand... only three survived?! My son is dead?! Who?! Who did this?!" The massive figure of the Giant God Clan let out a roar that shook the stars.
After a moment of deathly silence, panic erupted entirely into frenzied howling.
"Investigate! We must find those three! At all costs, find them!"
"Immediately, no matter what method, dig them out for me!"
Orders were issued at the fastest speed, as terrifying Divine Sense swept across the Great Universe like madmen, searching for traces of those three streams of light.
