"What do you mean?"
Ye Chen's face darkened.
The other Supreme Ones who heard this all sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
One must know that Supreme Ones were all wise individuals, the absolute pinnacle existences of the cultivation world, transcending the shackles of time, immortal and undying. Yet now, they turned pale at the mere mention of the so-called Sin Punishment.
It was easy to imagine that this matter was absolutely not simple!
"The Xuan Tribe is one of the Sin Tribes, jointly expelled and driven away by the other seven Saint Races. Anyone who shelters a Sin Tribe will be targeted by the other seven Origin Saint Races, and may even incur the Sin Punishment. The so-called Sin Punishment is the most terrifying curse jointly launched by the seven Saint Races."
Great Emperor Shen Kong spoke. Having existed through multiple epochs, and having once followed the Mysterious Void Sacred Venerable, a first-generation Giant, he naturally knew many ancient and little-known secrets. He said gravely, "Several epochs ago, there was once a colossus from antiquity who sheltered the beings of a Sin Tribe and grew quite close to them. He incurred the Sin Punishment issued by the seven Saint Races and ultimately fell!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Supreme Ones changed color.
The Sin Punishment of the seven Saint Races could actually cause a colossus from antiquity, such an unparalleled existence, to fall?
This already shattered everyone's understanding.
How powerful and peerless was a colossus from antiquity? They could be called kings among Supreme Ones, overlooking the Ten Thousand Ancient Times. Across the vast world, throughout the ages and one epoch after another, how many could reach this step?
Generally speaking, only several colossi from antiquity acting together, and sealing the target within a special area while continuously attacking, could achieve a kill.
But a curse being issued that could cause even a colossus from antiquity to fall? This was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
How terrifying!
If even a colossus from antiquity could be cursed to death, what couldn't be killed?
A Supreme One from the Origin Ancient Path said solemnly, "Do not underestimate these Origin Saint Races. Any single Origin Saint Race can rival a Chaos Ancient Universe and also has a colossus from antiquity-level existence presiding over it. Let alone seven Origin Saint Races jointly descending the Sin Punishment—even a colossus from antiquity cannot withstand it."
To a certain extent, this was equivalent to seven Chaos Ancient Universes jointly launching the Sin Punishment. It was the most terrifying curse of all ages. How many people in the world could withstand it?
Not even a colossus from antiquity could!
Ye Chen's expression changed as he looked at Yi Yi beside him.
Once the Sin Punishment descended, the current Pangu Universe truly could not withstand it.
And Yi Yi would undoubtedly die.
No matter what, he would not allow it.
Just as everyone was apprehensive, the War Emperor, who was standing to the side, chuckled coldly. "Don't spout nonsense. The seven Saint Races wouldn't dare to lightly descend the Sin Punishment. Besides, cursing a colossus from antiquity to death—do you really think it's that simple, without paying a corresponding price? Moreover, do they really think our Pangu Universe is weak? Since when was the Xuan Tribe a Sin Tribe? It was merely the seven Saint Races arrogantly passing judgment and expelling the Xuan Tribe. In fact, the Xuan Tribe was never considered a Sin Tribe."
It was clear that the War Emperor did not seem to hold the seven Origin Saint Races in particularly high regard.
Great Emperor Shen Kong frowned. "The seven Saint Races have declared the Xuan Tribe to be a Sin Tribe. Across the vast Chaos Sea, few dare to overturn this verdict. The Xuan Tribe has been expelled, which in fact proves they are indeed a Sin Tribe. This point cannot be denied."
The War Emperor said, "What's so great about the seven Saint Races?"
The other Supreme Ones frowned as they looked at the War Emperor, feeling he was too arrogant. How powerful were the seven Saint Races? Killing a quasi-Giant like him would be very easy.
Why was he questioning the seven Saint Races like this?
Was he really not afraid of the seven Saint Races descending the Sin Punishment?
Great Emperor Shen Kong said solemnly, "War Emperor, Fellow Daoist, it's not that I want to say this, but you are indeed strong, ranking among the top within the quasi-Giant tier. But I believe even if your master, the Heaven-Defying War Sovereign, or the Battle Saint Ancestor were here, they probably wouldn't dare to look down on the seven Saint Races."
The seven Origin Saint Races suppressed the entire Chaos Sea. Their Sin Punishment could curse even a colossus from antiquity to death. Who would dare to look down on them?
The War Emperor shook his head. "You overestimate the seven Saint Races and underestimate the Pangu Universe too much."
At this moment, Ye Chen spoke. "I once learned that the Xuan Tribe became a Sin Tribe and was expelled from the Origin Land because they once helped a supreme Taboo Figure from the Blood-Stained Future enter the Origin Land. Is this true?"
Many Supreme Ones were shocked. Some knew the Xuan Tribe was a Sin Tribe, but didn't know the fundamental reason.
The War Emperor and Great Emperor Shen Kong were also surprised, seemingly astonished at how he knew this.
Because such secrets were known to few even among Supreme Ones, involving matters of great significance, especially related to that legendary Taboo Figure.
One must know that in the past, because of that supreme Taboo Figure, the entire Chaos Sea was thrown into a state of alarm, with over a dozen Supreme Ones falling. The impact was immense.
That was one of the absolute taboos of the entire Chaos Ancient Universe.
Therefore, matters involving this Taboo Figure became secrets, including the reason the Xuan Tribe became a Sin Tribe.
Ye Chen said, "After the heavenly tribulation, there was a lightning gate. Behind it was a lightning world that recorded everything. I once roamed the River of Time, returning to the Great Destruction of the Mythical Era, and learned related secrets. This was something I learned when the Xuan Tribe's Giant, Xuan Yi, was communicating with a Giant from the alien races. But the fundamental reason, I am not clear about."
"So that's how it is. Heavenly tribulations can indeed record everything between heaven and earth." Cang Xiong the Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded, deeply agreeing.
"I didn't expect you to have met Senior Xuan Yi."
The War Emperor sighed softly. Xuan Yi had existed for an extremely long time. One must know, he was a colossus from antiquity of an Origin Saint Race. How many epochs had he existed? Probably few knew.
Even the War Emperor, the direct great disciple of the Heaven-Defying War Sovereign, had to address him as 'Senior'.
However, this also proved that the War Emperor's relationship with Xuan Yi was extraordinary. Otherwise, with his pride, he wouldn't address an ordinary colossus from antiquity as 'Senior'!
The War Emperor said, "What you said is correct. In the past, the Xuan Tribe did help a supreme Taboo Figure from the Blood-Stained Future enter the Origin Land. But as for the judgment of the Origin Land, it was truly arbitrary. In fact, the eight Origin Saint Races are not in the Origin Land itself; they merely guard the Origin Land. In reality, they are the pioneers who opened up the Origin Ancient Path."
Ye Chen and the other Supreme Ones were shocked. The eight Origin Saint Races were the pioneers of the Origin Ancient Path?
This contained unknown secrets.
Ye Chen frowned. "Wasn't the Origin Ancient Path first opened by Qin Shi Huang leading the Supreme Ones? At that time, there were no records concerning the Origin Saint Races."
Now his status was extremely high. In fact, many years ago, because of his relationships with the Sovereign of Formlessness, the Taichu Emperor, and others, he could easily enter the Qin Shi Huang Clan and learn many secrets about Qin Shi Huang, including those about the old Origin Ancient Path.
But those who followed Qin Shi Huang to battle on the old Origin Ancient Path back then never mentioned this matter.
"The Origin Saint Races involve the highest-level secrets. Senior Qin Shi Huang naturally wouldn't leave records of them."
