Countless tribes roamed the Savage Realm, desperate to unearth the secrets of the Five Yang Venerable, even if it meant digging three feet into the earth. Thousands of tribes fought fiercely, their eyes bloodshot, for the ethereal Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. For a hundred thousand years, the battles raged relentlessly, and countless tribes vanished from the Savage Realm. Yet, the secrets of the Five Yang Venerable seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace.
Blood stained this once peaceful and tranquil land!
After a hundred thousand years of sifting through the sands of time, five supreme tribes emerged from the myriad tribes of the Savage Realm: Human, Stone Giant, Golden Sheep, Ancestral Crocodile, and the Undying Nine-Headed Bird. Among these five, the Human tribe was the weakest.
However, for hundreds of thousands of years, these five tribes coexisted peacefully. This was largely because as time wore on, the ethereal Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body became increasingly elusive. The myriad tribes gradually lost faith, even beginning to doubt the existence of the Five Yang Venerable's secrets, let alone the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body.
Henceforth, the Human tribe, Stone Giants, Golden Sheep, Ancestral Crocodiles, and the Undying Nine-Headed Bird, these five supreme tribes, declared a cessation of hostilities in the Savage Realm!
Then, a million years ago, a peerless prodigy emerged from the Human tribe. He roamed the four seas, defeating all the prodigies of the Stone Giant, Golden Sheep, Ancestral Crocodile, and Undying Nine-Headed Bird tribes of his generation, earning the title of the foremost young expert in the Savage Realm.
This Human powerhouse, over a thousand years, traversed the entire Savage Realm and even located the legendary secrets of the Five Yang Venerable, obtaining the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body.
News of this spread like wildfire, shaking the myriad tribes of the Savage Realm once more. The four tribes of Stone Giants, Golden Sheep, Ancestral Crocodiles, and Undying Nine-Headed Birds, in particular, produced a surge of powerful individuals who relentlessly pursued the Human prodigy.
Despite the formidable forces of the four tribes, the Human prodigy repeatedly managed to escape. Eventually, all news of him ceased. At the time, it was rumored that this Human prodigy had perished, but the specifics remained unknown to all.
Thus, a thousand years passed. The Human prodigy, rumored to have perished, reappeared with overwhelming might in the peak Nirvana realm. With lightning-fast tactics, he unified the Human territory, establishing the "Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty," the first unified imperial dynasty in the history of the Southwestern Human Territory. He further declared himself "Martial Emperor!"
News of this sent the four beast tribes into a furious rage. Facing the Martial Emperor, who was in the peak Nirvana realm, the patriarchs of the four tribes knew they were outmatched. They followed the Martial Emperor's example, further consolidating their territories, and each declared their domain: the Primordial Wasteland, the Heavenly Demon Wasteland, the Blood Spring Wasteland, and the Nine Nether Wasteland.
At that time, the patriarchs of the four tribes declared themselves the Heavenly Stone Wasteland Lord, the Heavenly Sword Wasteland Lord, the Blood Fiend Wasteland Lord, and the Nine Nether Wasteland Lord, marking the first generation of the Four Wasteland Lords. This position of Wasteland Lord had been passed down through generations for a million years, continuing to this day!
The first generation of the Four Wasteland Lords simultaneously declared war on the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty. The Martial Emperor led the Human army and engaged in a thousand-year war against the Four Primordial Wastelands. With the Martial Emperor in the peak Nirvana realm, the Human army swept across the land, conquering two-thirds of the Savage Realm's territory within a thousand years. For a time, Humans became the dominant power in the Savage Realm!
Unfortunately, this prosperity was short-lived. For unknown reasons, the Martial Emperor's cultivation encountered a change. He suddenly ordered the withdrawal of all Human armies from the frontiers, and the Human forces retreated step by step, eventually falling back to the Southwestern Human Territory.
As the Human army steadily retreated, news of the Martial Emperor's failure to break through the Nirvana barrier spread like wildfire. The Four Primordial Wastelands were greatly emboldened and advanced relentlessly into Human territory.
After careful deliberation, the Martial Emperor sacrificed himself, using his body as a seal and his blood as the conduits, establishing the Blood Fiend Seal. This severed the connection between the Southwestern Human Territory and the Primordial Wastelands. A few days later, he passed away in the Imperial Palace.
Thanks to the Blood Fiend Seal established by the Martial Emperor, the Human territory enjoyed a million years of relative peace. Perhaps it was because the Human race had exhausted all its luck during the Martial Emperor's era, as the strength of the imperial dynasty declined generation after generation. This continued until over a hundred thousand years ago when the seal began to loosen!
At that time, the Four Wasteland Lords united and suppressed the forces within their respective wastelands, gradually suppressing the news of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. Over a million years, among the myriad tribes of the Four Wastelands, few, apart from the top-tier beast tribes, knew the true secrets of this matter!
Most believed it to be an ethereal legend!
A hundred thousand years ago, as the seal loosened, the Four Wasteland Lords, adhering strictly to their ancestors' teachings—that the Human territory was extremely perilous and should be approached with caution, probing cautiously—
Thus, the invasion of the Human territory by the vanguard armies of the Four Wastelands occurred!
The Four Wastelands each dispatched vanguard armies to cautiously probe the Human territory. They suddenly discovered that the once glorious Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty was now in decline, no longer possessing the might of the Human Martial Emperor's era!
There wasn't even a single peak Creation realm martial artist. Without the supreme power of the Nirvana realm to maintain order, how could the Four Wasteland Lords miss such a rare opportunity that came once in a million years!
The Four Wasteland Lords simultaneously dispatched their Creation realm demon ancestors to invade the Human territory. The imperial dynasty crumbled in a single battle, and the Four Wastelands swept across the Human territory. However, they failed to find the legendary Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. The Four Wasteland Lords secretly analyzed that the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body had likely been taken to his grave by the Martial Emperor.
In their rage, the Four Wasteland Lords mustered their armies again and pursued the last emperor of the fleeing Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty throughout the land.
The Heavenly Origin Emperor, knowing he had failed the Martial Emperor and the successive emperors above, and had failed the countless humans below, drew upon the Martial Emperor's bloodline and achieved a faint resonance with the Blood Fiend Seal. He then used his own body as the seal and his blood as the conduits, once again reinforcing the loosening seal.
However, this reinforcement did not achieve the same effect as the Martial Emperor's. The Blood Fiend Seal would loosen once every hundred years!
Since the Four Wasteland Lords could not find the Martial Emperor's treasures, they dispatched vanguard armies to search the Human territory during the hundred-year periods when the seal loosened!
These hundred-year searches blurred into ten thousand years. For these ten thousand years, the Four Wasteland Lords had almost lost hope for the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. For ten thousand years, the beast armies had almost scoured every inch of Human territory, and the Human race had gradually become weak, no longer posing a threat to the Four Wasteland Lords' lineage!
"Did the Wasteland Lord's failed breakthrough damage his foundation?"
An He's expression turned anxious. For the past ten thousand years, as the Human race gradually weakened, friction among the Four Wastelands had intensified. All Four Wasteland Lords harbored ambitions to conquer the entire Savage Realm!
"Alas!"
Gao Yi shook his head. "Such a significant matter, concerning the foundation of our Heavenly Demon Wasteland, even our ancestors might not know!"
"What about the news of the Blood Python clan's annihilation?"
"We'll ignore it?"
An He asked doubtfully.
"We'll deal with it!"
"Of course, we'll deal with it!"
Gao Yi's tone suddenly hardened. He looked at An He and said, "However, if we don't, other tribes will."
"With such an excellent opportunity to showcase themselves, I don't believe the Primordial Rhino clan will stand idly by!"
