The attack on Holy Lord Stone Dragon by Divine General Zhang Ling mirrored events unfolding in two universes.
The Hidden God Organization had been the initiator and manipulator behind the dual universe era. Although the Earthly Venerables and Divine Generals of both universes pretended to collaborate with the Supreme Lord of the Hidden God Organization, they never truly served it.
Among the many Earthly Venerables, only a few had truly transcended. Even in the dual universe era, which was most suitable for transcendence, if they fully assisted the reincarnators of the Hidden God Organization, it would extinguish their own hopes of transcendence. Furthermore, in the dual universe era, failing to transcend meant almost certain demise alongside the universe. The Hidden God Organization offered little help in this regard. Thus, to the Earthly Venerables and Divine Generals of the dual universes, the Hidden God Organization was also an enemy.
Of course, there were still some Earthly Venerables secretly cooperating with the Hidden God Organization, seeking a sliver of transcendence.
Now, the Hidden God Organization had truly emerged, launching frenzied attacks and retaliation against those Earthly Venerables.
For a time, many Earthly Venerables fell, including even ten-star Earthly Venerables. The loss was particularly severe in the Eternal Universe, where dozens of Earthly Venerables from the Twelve Cosmic Eras perished. Among these, the weakest were nine-star Earthly Venerables, and one ten-star Earthly Venerable also fell.
Naturally, the reincarnators did not escape unscathed either. Three reincarnators were killed by Divine General Primordial Era.
After a century of turmoil, the situation gradually stabilized.
Despite this, the power of the Hidden God Palace was formidable, boasting more than one Divine General.
The numerous forces across the dual universes joined forces against the Hidden God Palace, barely suppressing it. Yet, as time passed, the strength of the Hidden God Palace grew rapidly, producing multiple Divine General-level powerhouses, which would spell true disaster.
In the Cangyu Universe, within the Azure Dragon Holy Land, two Divine Generals were in discussion.
They were the Azure Dragon Divine General and the Weeping Blood Divine General of the Azure Dragon Holy Land. The Azure Dragon Divine General was an early two-star Divine General, while the Weeping Blood Divine General was a peak one-star Divine General. Both ranked among the top in the Cangyu Universe, possessing immense strength.
The Azure Dragon Holy Land was one of the main forces opposing the Hidden God Palace.
“Azure Dragon, the Hidden God Palace is a great menace! Back then, the Supreme Lord only collaborated with us to use us. Without our help, they couldn’t have executed the dual universe transcendence plan. Now that the plan is complete, we’ve naturally been discarded. Those reincarnators of the Hidden God Palace are the ones the Supreme Lord truly values. They were originally Divine General-level in the Hidden God Organization. If they regain their peak strength in our universe, there might be three or four-star Divine Generals among them!” said the Weeping Blood Divine General, frowning.
“Weeping Blood, you worry too much!” Azure Dragon laughed. “Three or four-star Divine Generals are rare even in chaos, usually the true geniuses of some factions with boundless prospects. They wouldn’t be easily sacrificed. At most, these Hidden Gods are one or two-star Divine Generals. Moreover, these reincarnators must follow the cosmic path and comprehend cosmic rules to transcend. Otherwise, it would mean anyone could transcend just by reincarnating. The Divine Generals born from the Hidden God Palace have almost exhausted their foundation, and their Dao may not be stable, perhaps even flawed. They need a long time to repair and align with the dual universes. Otherwise, they will at most be strong beings within the universe, with no hope of transcendence.”
“Azure Dragon, your inheritance isn’t simple. You even know such secrets,” the Weeping Blood Divine General remarked in surprise.
“Hahaha, it’s just a coincidence that I know,” Azure Dragon responded. “For weaker Divine Generals or Earthly Venerables, the Hidden God Palace is indeed a great threat. But for us, the Hidden God Palace is just another competitor. However, we can’t underestimate the Hidden God Palace either. Who knows if they are hiding true geniuses?” Azure Dragon Divine General said.
“Yes,” Weeping Blood Divine General nodded.
In the Ancient Demon Cave, Ye Tian was still cultivating. Although he was aware that the Hidden God Palace had emerged, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
In his view, the reincarnators of the Hidden God Organization likely didn’t have exceptional talent or strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be seeking the opportunity for cosmic transcendence.
Through conversations with Niu Long, he also gained some understanding of the situation within the chaos.
Some of the true geniuses in chaos didn’t care about ordinary transcendents and wouldn’t reincarnate into the universe to pursue transcendence; it wasn’t worth it for them. For instance, among the Great Powers of Harmony in chaos, the number of transcendents was exceedingly low. Most true great powers were native cultivators of chaos. Although the rarity of transcendents contributed to this, true top-tier geniuses in chaos were also rare. Therefore, Ye Tian wasn’t worried about the reincarnated members of the Hidden God Organization posing much of a threat to him. For now, improving his own strength was the most important thing.
If the members of the Hidden God Palace dared to target the human race, it would be their death wish.
In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.
At this point, Ye Tian had cultivated the Profound Void Technique to the third level, reaching a minor accomplishment realm, significantly enhancing his physical strength and greatly boosting his power.
Additionally, the aura belonging to the Eternal Universe on his body had become very faint, almost undetectable.
“It’s time to go to the Ancient Demon Tower,” Ye Tian murmured.
Whoosh! Ye Tian traversed to the Ancient Demon Tower, quickly arriving at its base.
In the grand hall of the Ancient Demon Tower, Ye Tian’s entrance immediately drew the attention of several Earthly Venerables, even catching the eye of a Divine General.
Evidently, this Divine General was honing his skills within the Ancient Demon Tower.
The grand hall of the Ancient Demon Tower was enormous, comparable to a small world. Therefore, many Earthly Venerables didn’t feel cramped here, and some even took out small palaces to reside in.
This place wasn’t the first level of the Ancient Demon Tower. To enter the first level, one had to pass through an ancient gate at the center of the tower.
At this moment, the artifact spirit of the Ancient Demon Tower sent a message, informing them about the situation within the tower.
Ye Tian’s arrival didn’t cause much of a stir or attract much attention. There were too many Earthly Venerables in the Cangyu Universe, and countless rogue Earthly Venerables. It was entirely normal for a stranger to appear here.
If Ye Tian had been emanating the aura of the Eternal Universe, it might have caused some commotion. However, his aura was entirely that of the Ancient Demon Cave and the Cangyu Universe.
Thus, no one suspected anything.
Swoosh! Ye Tian entered through the ancient gate, heading to the first level of the Ancient Demon Tower.
The first level of the Ancient Demon Tower was a vast land. Here, Ye Tian discovered that his chaos grand dao, rule power, divine abilities, divine force, and soul were all sealed by a certain force.
However, this force wasn’t unbreakable. But if he broke it, it would mean failing the trial and being expelled from the Ancient Demon Tower.
“A technique similar to that of the Origin Land, but far inferior. At least, when I entered the Origin Land, I couldn’t resist at all. But the suppression of the Ancient Demon Tower can be resisted,” Ye Tian murmured.
But then he recalled that the Ancient Demon Tower was merely a strongest supreme treasure. Even with the power of the Ancient Demon Cave, it remained within the scope of a strongest supreme treasure, not reaching the level of a chaos supreme treasure. Naturally, it couldn’t be too overwhelming.
