Wan Tai Huangzun, a Heavenly Venerate seed hailed as the next Eternal Heavenly Venerate of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan, was now held in the utmost humiliation, trapped within a palm and sealed inside a ring of golden light, utterly restrained and unable to struggle.
Wan Tai Huangzun was filled with stifled rage, roaring and struggling incessantly, unwilling to accept this fate, yet completely powerless.
Because Qian Xun's cultivation far surpassed his by an immeasurable margin.
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City glanced at Qian Xun, giving an almost imperceptible nod of acknowledgment.
"Let's go!"
Qian Xun did not linger either. He turned and left the city with Qian Wentian.
This place was not safe to stay. Although he had forcefully suppressed the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan, the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan was ultimately one of the nine most powerful Eternal Heavenly Clans in the current Origin Land, each with a living Heavenly Venerate overseeing them, theirheritage / foundation surpassing that of other Eternal Heavenly Clans.
If they stayed any longer, it was possible a Supreme Realm Overlord might emerge.
"Trying to leave?"
Wan Shan, who had just managed to reform his physical and spiritual form, saw this scene and bellowed fiercely. Leading the many powerhouses of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan, he was about to charge forward to intercept them.
However, Qian Xun turned around, as if about to hurl the damaged heavenly palace their way.
Wan Shan's expression changed drastically, immediately leading the Heavenly Clan powerhouses in a swift retreat.
Qian Xun sneered mockingly, then turned to continue his departure.
Wan Shan gritted his teeth fiercely, and a terrifying beam of light shot out from the crown of his head.
As this dreadful beam emerged, it quickly tore open a massive Heavenly Gate in the sky.
The Heavenly Gate materialized, its surface carved with countless dense, ancient secret patterns, exuding an aura of antiquity and vicissitude, as if it were a primordial Heavenly Gate that had existed since the era of All Heavens.
The Heavenly Gate slowly began to open, directly revealing an unknown realm.
At that moment, an unparalleled majestic pressure descended like a tidal wave, instantly inundating this Heaven-Mending City.
"Supreme Realm Overlord!"
At this instant, everyone within Heaven-Mending City changed expressions.
For the rolling power emanating from within the Heavenly Gate was unmistakably the aura of a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Sensing this terrifying pressure, Qian Xun's expression shifted slightly. He took Qian Wentian and shot into the sky at an even greater speed.
But, the moment the Heavenly Gate opened, an invisible barrier, like a hemisphere, descended and enveloped the entire Heaven-Mending City in the blink of an eye.
The invisible barrier was indestructible, intercepting Qian Xun and Qian Wentian just as they reached the city's edge.
Boom—
Naturally, Qian Xun would not wait idly for capture. Without a word, he threw a punch directly at it.
Boom rumble rumble—
The invisible barrier shook violently, seeming on the verge of shattering, but ultimately remained stable.
"It's useless. You cannot escape."
A voice tinged with indifference slowly emanated from the Heavenly Gate.
An ancient Supreme Realm Overlord, traversing endless time and space, stepped out from the Heavenly Gate.
He appeared extremely noble, like an emperor emerging into the world, clad in imperial robes and crowned with an imperial headdress, his brows and eyes containing supreme majesty that looked down upon all creation.
His appearance bore some resemblance to Wan Tai Huangzun, but his aura was far more powerful by an incalculable degree.
The moment this ancient Supreme Realm Overlord stepped out from the Heavenly Gate, Heaven-Mending City seemed to tremble violently as if about to collapse, unable to withstand such resplendent Supreme Realm power.
"We pay homage to the Supreme Overlord!"
The many powerhouses of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan all performed grand bows of respect, welcoming the personal arrival of their Heavenly Clan's Supreme Overlord.
Even Wan Shan, a Taizhen-level Ancient Ancestor, gave a slight bow, showing reverence.
"Greetings to Supreme Overlord Wan Shen!"
The Lord of Heaven-Mending City also stood up and gave a slight bow, observing the formalities.
He sighed inwardly.
Even he had not expected that, to deal with the War Sovereign father and son, the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan would go so far as to dispatch a Supreme Realm Overlord.
A Supreme Realm Overlord! Throughout all ages, such supreme existences were absolutely rare. They were the true, undisputed overlord-level existences of the Origin Land.
With no Supreme Heavenly Venerate emerging, who could contend with them?
The entire Origin Land was, in truth, under the gaze of various Supreme Realm Overlords.
Such existences were so few that they could be counted on one hand, even among the endless eons ofheritage / foundation of the major Eternal Heavenly Clans.
The Young City Lord behind him also followed with a bow, his heart greatly shaken.
He had not expected that a Supreme Realm Overlord would truly emerge from the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan and descend upon this city.
Even with his noble status as the Young City Lord of Heaven-Mending City, and his father, the Lord of Heaven-Mending City, being a Taizhen-level Half-Step Overlord, in his several epochs of cultivation, the number of times he had seen a Supreme Realm Overlord could also be counted on one hand.
Within Heaven-Mending City, countless people looked upon that supremely majestic figure, feeling as vast as the Heavenly Dao itself, while their own selves felt as insignificant as ants.
"Could this be that Supreme Overlord Wan Shen of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan?"
"It is him. An ancient Supreme Overlord from the era of All Heavens, an ancient overlord who attained the Supreme Realm during that era. To think he has come personally this time."
"Supreme Overlord Wan Shen! In the past, even a Supreme Heavenly Venerate praised him, saying he had hope of ascending to the Eternal Realm."
"With his personal arrival, the War Sovereign and his son are likely in grave danger this time."
Many recognized this Supreme Overlord of the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan—an ancient, primordial Supreme Overlord, an ancient overlord who had achieved the Supreme Realm since the era of All Heavens.
In fact, every Eternal Heavenly Clan was an ancient Heavenly Clan that had existed since the era of All Heavens, their existence spanning multiple Chaos Epochs.
A single Chaos Epoch contained who knew how many epochs.
Over multiple Chaos Epochs, the Eternal Heavenly Clans had naturally given birth to more than one Supreme Realm Overlord. This was thePrimordialPrimordial Beginning accumulation of the Eternal Heavenly Clans over endless eons.
Although some Heavenly Clan Supreme Overlords had perished in the great battle of the Twilight of All Heavens, the Eternal Heavenly Clans still possessed more than one.
Moreover, the Wanxuan Heavenly Clan was one of the nine Heavenly Clans of the current era with a Supreme Heavenly Venerate overseeing them, theirheritage / foundation even more unfathomable.
Now, the descent of Supreme Overlord Wan Shen caused shock among many.
The oppressive feeling brought by the arrival of such an ancient, primordial Supreme Overlord was simply too immense.
This Heavenly Clan Supreme Overlord gave a slight nod, his expression aloof and emotionless, already approaching theruthless of the Heavenly Dao that viewed all things as mere straw dogs. His gaze swept toward Qian Xun and Qian Wentian, who had reached the horizon, and he also saw Wan Tai Huangzun imprisoned in Qian Xun's hand. His expression darkened slightly, and the world instantly filled with a terrifying aura ofkilling intent.
"You dare to imprison a Heavenly Venerate seed of my Wanxuan Heavenly Clan? The audacity of you sinners from the Original Realm is trulysmall!"
Though it was but a simple statement, it contained immense power, shaking heaven and earth.
That was the true power of a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Within the world, endless Great Dao runes spontaneously manifested, evolving into various attacks that frenziedly assaulted the father and son, Qian Xun and Qian Wentian.
Of course, they could not harm the two; it was merely apetty trick.
However, Qian Xun did not dare be careless. His expression was unprecedentedly grave.
Because this was a true Supreme Realm Overlord, a true existence at the very apex of the pyramid in the Origin Land, second only to the Supreme Heavenly Venerates, excessively powerful.
Even though he was a Taizhen-level existence, hailed as a Half-Step Overlord, there remained an indescribably vast gap between him and a true Supreme Realm Overlord.
Layer upon layer of golden light emanated from Qian Xun's body as his combat power surged. Utilizing the Battle Saint Technique, he unleashed his strongest strike, piercing through one point in the invisible barrier. Then, enveloping Qian Wentian, he shot into the sky with extreme speed like lightning, seeking to flee far from this place.
