Gathering Clouds Heavenly Palace.
It was one of the palaces of the Human Sovereign Palace, an important palace specifically used to accommodate honored guests. It was extremely vast, no smaller than an ancient city, with towering great halls rising from the ground.
Throughout the ages, those who could stay in this palace were all Ancient Monarchs renowned across various domains, almost all of them being ultimate rivals of the Human Sovereign from the era of the Human Sovereign's struggle for supremacy—super powerful beings of great fame.
Otherwise, ordinary people simply had no qualifications to be invited to stay.
Especially in recent years, with the Human Sovereign in slumber, no one had stayed here at all.
Now, the Supreme Immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm had arrived in the Pangu Universe and was naturally accommodated in this highest-specification Gathering Clouds Heavenly Palace.
The Supreme Immortal—the world did not know his true identity, only that he was a true Immortal Dao Supreme One, incomparably powerful. He sat cross-legged in an immortal palace chariot, driving nine starry sky overlord-level ancient ferocious beasts, entering the central main palace of the Gathering Clouds Heavenly Palace. Within the majestic palace, he naturally opened up an Immortal Dao great world to rest inside, with no one daring to disturb him.
His other followers, such as the thousands of powerful beings, were Immortal Guards from the Immortal Domain ancient kingdom under his command, residing in other palaces of the Gathering Clouds Heavenly Palace, though the vast majority stood guard outside the central main palace.
Another dozen or so vigorous young Heaven's Prides belonged to the supreme talents of the Immortal Domain ancient kingdom under the Supreme Immortal's control, and they were first-rate, some even being members of the Immortal Clan.
They resided in another dozen or so palaces.
At this moment, these Immortal World Heaven's Prides gathered together, taking out precious immortal wine. Hearing the rumors spreading outside, one of them, a white-robed youth with purple hair, handsome and imposing with extraordinary bearing, possessing a third eye, took a sip of the immortal wine and said, "Although we don't know who spread this matter, it doesn't matter. After all, these so-called Heaven's Prides of the Pangu Universe are nothing much, unworthy of our attention."
As members of the younger generation of the Primordial Immortal Realm, and being personally led out by the Supreme Immortal, their status and talent were naturally extraordinary, considered top-tier Heaven's Prides even within the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.
For a chaotic ancient universe that had just been crippled by the alien races, required rescue by the Primordial Immortal Realm, and only now had its Heavenly Dao restored to completion, they naturally had the capital to be arrogant.
After all, the Primordial Immortal Realm was the number one ancient chaos universe in the Chaos Sea. These Heaven's Prides were the Heaven's Prides of the Primordial Immortal Realm, even more extraordinary by nature.
Beside him were another dozen or so Immortal World Heaven's Prides, ranging from God King realm to Sovereign realm, each one supremely extraordinary.
They were the most outstanding natural talents under the Supreme Immortal's command, all true Supreme Heaven's Prides.
"Zhao Yu, don't be too arrogant. Although the Pangu Universe was once crippled and its Heavenly Dao was incomplete, it still has Emperor Sons and Daughters—supreme descendants. We must not underestimate such peerless figures," a Supreme Heaven's Pride at the Ancient Monarch realm spoke, carrying a hint of gravity.
Though he claimed to be a young Heaven's Pride, his actual cultivation years numbered tens of thousands, far surpassing ordinary Heaven's Prides.
However, relative to the long lifespan of half an era that Ancient Monarchs could live, tens of thousands of years was actually very short, and he could be considered quite young.
Another Immortal World Heaven's Pride also spoke seriously, "Emperor Sons and Daughters are supreme descendants, inheriting the most powerful supreme bloodlines. Even in the era when the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, they were among the Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Prides. I hear they have been in the world for six thousand years now. Their current cultivation is likely unfathomable, at the very least at the Ancient Monarch level, and it wouldn't be excessive to say they are at the seventh or eighth heaven or above."
Zhao Yu, the white-robed youth with purple hair and three eyes, carrying an ethereal immortal aura, said proudly, "Emperor Sons and Daughters are indeed formidable, but don't forget, my Azure Feather Immortal Clan also has supreme descendants. Young Ancestor Piaoyu is one. She has only been cultivating in the world for less than seven thousand years and is already a generation's Immortal Monarch. So what if the Pangu Universe has Emperor Sons and Daughters? They definitely cannot be a match for Young Ancestor Piaoyu."
Hearing this, the mention of that Young Ancestor Piaoyu immediately filled these Immortal World Heaven's Prides with awe.
She was the only peerless expert among the Heaven's Prides at the Immortal Monarch realm,could be called / deemed half-step Immortal Dao Supreme One, supremely powerful.
Her identity was even more astonishing—the daughter of the Supreme Immortal, a true Immortal Dao descendant. In just a few thousand years, she had already stepped into the Immortal Monarch domain, equivalent to the Monarch existence of other ancient chaos universes. Her heaven-defying, stunning talent was evident, and she had great hope of attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal.
"That's true. With Young Ancestor Piaoyu here, the so-called Heaven's Prides of the Pangu Universe, even if they have Emperor Sons and Daughters, are definitely no match for the Young Ancestor who has already become an Immortal Monarch," the other Immortal World Heaven's Prides all nodded, holding absolute reverence andlook up to / gaze upon with admiration's heart for that Young Ancestor Piaoyu.
At this moment, another Immortal World Heaven's Pride frowned and said, "I heard that in the Pangu Universe, there is a Heaven's Pride named the Battle Saint King, hailed as the strongest Heaven's Pride of this epoch. He swept through the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Supreme Ancient Path, invincible in the world, defeating many Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants, surpassing all in power. Not long ago, it was even heard that he forcefully suppressed and killed the alien race's Brahma Great Emperor outside the border pass of the alien ancient universe, severely injuring five Ancient Great Emperors, and he's only at the Monarch realm."
This matter had caused a huge stir. The Primordial Immortal Realm, as the number one ancient chaos universe in the Chaos Sea, would certainly know about it.
The Azure Feather Immortal Clan naturally also learned of it.
Zhao Yu sneered, "Do you think that's possible? It's already unimaginable for a Monarch to challenge a Great Perfection Supreme One; a peak confrontation is even more impossible, let alone forcefully suppressing and killing. It's simply impossible. It's nothing more than the people of the Pangu Universe lineage boasting. That Battle Saint King might be a Monarch, but he definitely cannot be that peerlessly invincible. If he truly faced our Azure Feather Immortal Clan's Young Ancestor Piaoyu, defeating him wouldn't be a problem."
That matter was simply too exaggerated; hardly anyone believed it was true.
Just imagine, a Monarch defying the heavens to challenge an Ancient Great Emperor—one might barely believe that. But a peak confrontation? That's simply unrealistic, let alone forcefully suppressing and killing. It defies all reason.
Unfortunately, with their level of insight, they couldn't access the highest-level secrets, unaware of the existence of the Eternal Path, much less the mostdefying heaven / heaven-defyingmonster, strongest Eternal Monarch comparable to a quasi-giant.
"Tonight, if there's time, we'll personally meet that Battle Saint King and see if he's as peerlessly invincible as the legends say. As long as Young Ancestor Piaoyu makes a move, she will surely shatter this so-called undefeated myth of his."
That night.
Human Sovereign Palace.
Brilliantly lit, bright as day, every detail visible.
In the main hall, a grand feast was being held. The honored guests from the Primordial Immortal Realm appeared, each surrounded by immortal radiance, accomplished in cultivation, extraordinarily eye-catching, attracting much attention.
However, the Supreme Immortal did not appear.
The same went for those Immortal Guard armies.
Those who appeared were all Heaven's Prides from the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Many Heaven's Prides from the upper and lower realms came to the Human Sovereign Palace, with quite a few specially returning from the depths of the Human Sovereign Ancient Path to personally attend the feast.
Seeing these Primordial Immortal Realm Heaven's Prides, their expressions turned slightly gloomy, not looking very pleased.
Rumors said these Immortal World Heaven's Prides looked down on them with great contempt—how could they treat them with good faces?
At the feast, the Immortal World Heaven's Prides had extraordinary bearing, surrounded by immortal radiance. Seeing the unfriendly expressions of the Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides, they sneered but didn't take it to heart.
Among the Immortal World Heaven's Prides, Zhao Yu asked knowingly with a faint tone, "It seems the people of your Pangu Universe don't welcome us very much. Have we offended you?"
Around them was a large group of Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides, men and women, about thirty in number.
Although they had also heard that rumor, they didn't care at all. On the contrary, they were very enthusiastic toward these Immortal World Heaven's Prides. When the feast began, they proactively stepped forward and immediately said, "Young Master Zhao, you misunderstand. The honored guests from the Immortal World have not offended us. It's just that your status is noble, so inevitably some people are jealous, hence the unfriendly looks. You need not mind and can continue to enjoy the immortal wine and delicacies."
Toward these Primordial Immortal Realm Heaven's Prides, many Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides held hostility, but there were also some Heaven's Prides who walked over, lowering their attitudes, activelycatering to the Primordial Immortal Realm Heaven's Prides.
Because these people were the true natural talents of the Primordial Immortal Realm. If they could befriend them, perhaps in the future there would be a chance to enter the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Compared to the increasingly prosperous and mythical flourishing age of the Pangu Universe, they leaned more toward the Primordial Immortal Realm.
After all, the Primordial Immortal Realm had ten thousand Daos perfected, a strong Heavenly Dao, and was superior to the Pangu Universe in every aspect.
Moreover, the Primordial Immortal Realm was the number one ancient chaos universe in the Chaos Sea; no one dared to provoke it. In the past, even the alien races had to helplessly retreat because of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Compared to the Pangu Universe, which was constantly watched covetously by the alien races and the Chaos Burial Ground, it was undoubtedly countless times safer.
Befriending these Immortal World Heaven's Prides might give them a chance in the future to become disciples under the Supreme Immortal.
The proactivecatering and lowered postures of these people naturally made many Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides look displeased.
This group of people were simply servile!
Hearing this, Zhao Yu nodded slightly, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance, saying, "So it seems the capacity of your Pangu Universe's Heaven's Prides isn't great, unwilling to accept their own shortcomings, lacking the magnanimity to tolerate others. It disappoints us somewhat."
"Young Master Zhao, you misunderstand. Not everyone is like this. The truth is always held by a minority, such as us," the Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides whoadhering with spoke, respectful yet also carrying a hint of smugness.
Zhao Yu laughed heartily, "Indeed."
"Hmph, some people are born servile, liking to flatter and fawn, patting others' backsides. With your servile nature, you think you're qualified to hold the truth? Don't insult our Pangu Universe!" Finally, someone couldn't bear it and rebuked. These people, acting like servants, had no right to speak like this.
"Yang Zhan, what do you mean?" the Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides whoadhering with Zhao Yu shouted, their expressions gloomy. How dare he call them servants?
Yang Zhan was the Heaven's Pride who had just rebuked their servility. He sneered, "Aren't you servants right now? These people look down on our Pangu Universe with such contempt, yet you aren't angry, don't reject them, but activelyadhering with. There's no difference from servants."
Zhao Yu sneered, saying, "I never said your Pangu Universe's Heaven's Prides are trash, but since you've spoken like this, I'd also like to know if you are trash!"
"My name is Zhao Yu, from the Azure Feather Immortal Clan. Is there anyone who dares to fight?"
