When they looked closely, many immediately drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
Because the powerhouses were horrified to discover that even a single wisp of the battle scar Dao principles scattering from his body was enough to cause mountains and rivers spanning tens of thousands of li to collapse, burying countless living beings.
Yet his entire body was covered with them, making one imagine just how terrifyingly severe his injuries were.
Especially at the center of his brow, there were multiple wounds that pierced through his forehead bone, reaching the deepest part of his Niwan Palace—these were absolutely fatal injuries.
Such dreadful injuries would undoubtedly be fatal even for an Ancient Monarch, with no chance of survival.
Even a Forbidden Zone Ruler of that level likely could not escape the path of death.
Yet the man was still alive.
This spoke volumes.
An ancient God King trembled, stammering, "To endure such terrifying Dao injuries and not die—how many in the present era could accomplish this? And to be in this most dreadful Star Ruins Forbidden Zone... could he be one of the Dominators who participated back then?"
Some would inevitably guess, for that battle of yore had been earth-shattering, shaking the past and illuminating the present, and all participants were of Dominator level.
In such a dreadful Star Ruins Forbidden Zone, and so grievously wounded—how many in the present era could fit this description?
One could count them on one hand!
He was likely one of the Dominator figures from that time.
Especially since that supreme Dominator from the Desolate Realm back then had vanished without a trace, neither seen alive nor found dead.
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill, as if they understood something.
Could it be—
The mysterious man covered in wounds rose to his full height, standing firm amidst the stars.
Silently, all the residual power scattered in this place—the flesh and blood of Forbidden Zone Rulers, fragments of Great Dao Heavenly Suns, shards of forbidden ancient weapons, Dominator power, and so on—transformed into streams of dawn light that flowed into the man's body.
Not just the Star Ruins Forbidden Zone, but even the vast starry sky beyond the forbidden zone trembled.
That terrifying destructive power had become a kind of nourishment, transforming into divine power that was being absorbed by this mysterious man suspected to be a Dominator.
Such a method was absolutely the most fearsome.
As all the power was gradually absorbed, every wound slowly recovered until they vanished and healed, restoring him to a complete human form.
One could see that he was an absolutely perfect young man, as if he had seized all the beauty in the world, with none able to rival his perfection.
The instant he opened his eyes, the starry sky erupted in turmoil, as if they contained the most terrifying destructive power in the mortal world.
"It's him! It really is him!"
The powerhouses outside the Star Ruins Forbidden Zone were horrified, including the most deeply hidden Quasi-Monarchs who were startled into action, tearing through the void to appear, staring in terror at the scene before them.
The peerless figure who had slain multiple Dominators in the Dominator War had returned to life after thirty years.
Many powerhouses prepared to transmit this information to the outside world, foreseeing that a terrifying storm was about to sweep through the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds.
Boom—
Suddenly, from high above the starry sky, from that unreachable supreme height, incomparably dreadful Heavenly Thunder descended inexplicably, striking that Star Ruins Forbidden Zone.
Or perhaps its main target was that former Dominator.
But the range of the dreadful Heavenly Thunder was too vast; it instantly pierced through the original Star Ruins Forbidden Zone, affecting the outside world, radiating for hundreds of millions of li.
In an instant, before anyone could spread the news, they were overwhelmed by the dreadful tribulation light and sea of thunder, then annihilated into dust.
The mysterious man, like a Dominator, stood bathed in billions of thunderbolts, allowing the endless Heavenly Thunder to fall and strike his body, more like a form of baptism.
Strangely, no matter how fearsome the Heavenly Thunder was—enough to kill ordinary Ancient Monarchs—it could not harm him.
His entire body was Immortal and Indestructible; instead, his pores transformed into countless tiny black holes, wantonly devouring the Heavenly Thunder power, directly absorbing all the energy.
If this scene were to spread to the outside world, how utterly shocking it would be.
"Ah—"
The man roared. On the surface of his body, on that immortal skin, countless endless Dao patterns and imprints appeared, resembling Heaven's Dao Diagram.
Faintly visible, one supreme figure after another manifested, like imprints merging with the Dao Diagram.
Within his body, a mighty power capable of annihilating all Daos bloomed forth. Combined with the billions of forbidden Heavenly Thunderbolts, it transformed into billions of forces, colliding against that mysterious Heaven's Dao Diagram.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The most terrifying collisions erupted within the man's body.
A single wisp of that power falling would be enough to annihilate mountains and rivers across who knows how many tens of thousands of li—utterly terrifying.
Yet no matter what, it still could not pierce through Heaven's Dao Diagram.
Not even with the aid of billions of Heavenly Thunderbolts.
The fearsomeness of Heaven's Dao Diagram surpassed imagination—Immortal and Indestructible.
At that moment, within the several Forbidden Zones of Life in the Primordial Heaven Realm, the several Dominators who had been dormant and motionless since the Dominator War, and even the alien Demon Monarchs lurking in the deepest parts of the Primordial Heaven Realm, were all startled by the fluctuations from the deepest reaches of the starry sky!
Instantly, gazes from afar focused on that shattered Star Ruins region.
"Billions of Heavenly Thunderbolts gathering into a sea of tribulation light and thunder—truly dreadful, enough to kill ordinary Ancient Monarchs!"
"That place is—"
Suddenly, these gazes grew many times more fiery, like heavenly suns hanging in the sky, startling the entire Primordial Heaven Realm.
Many powerhouses were astonished—what had happened to cause these most fearsome Dominator figures to awaken one after another?
Unfortunately, that Star Ruins Forbidden Zone was high above in the firmament, located among the deepest parts of the outer starry sky. Powerhouses on the ground of the Primordial Heaven Realm simply could not gaze upon such a distant place; even those as strong as Quasi-Monarchs could not, with only Ancient Monarchs able to vaguely sense something.
"Could it be that person from back then is still alive?"
The forbidden Dominators of the several Forbidden Zones of Life, and the dreadful alien beings lying in wait, all erupted with gazes filled with killing intent, preparing to take action.
Boom—
Suddenly, the Heavenly Thunder at the Star Ruins Forbidden Zone grew even more violent, instantly becoming many times more fiery, directly overwhelming that vast Star Ruins region and annihilating it into dust, startling the entire Primordial Heaven Realm.
Faintly, it seemed to have touched the most dreadful and supreme forbidden power!
Following the descent of a forbidden-level Heavenly Thunder that would make even Forbidden Zone Dominators change color, the next moment, the mysterious man vanished!
He disappeared without a trace just like that.
The Dominators of the various Forbidden Zones of Life and the dreadful alien Demon Monarchs could find not the slightest trace of him.
As if unable to sense the man's aura, the endless Heavenly Thunder gradually dissipated...
Eastern Region.
Qianwu Ancient Kingdom.
Luoshui Mountain Range.
Crack—
The sky curtain was suddenly and violently torn open, a rift appearing.
A bloody figure plummeted from the sky, the heavy chaotic light around him dissipating.
At this moment, the originally clear, cloudless sky suddenly gathered endless dark clouds, flashing with intertwined thunder and lightning.
One dreadful thunderbolt after another continuously fell, striking that bloody figure.
Yet even thunderbolts capable of shattering mountains and rivers caused no damage upon landing on him; his body remained flawless, only acquiring some charred black marks.
Boom—
With a tremendous crash, the bloody figure smashed through one mountain peak after another in that area, finally striking the ground and creating a thousand-zhang-wide giant crater before coming to a stop.
