"A new Supreme Heavenly Venerate? It must be an old acquaintance returning, reclaiming their Celestial Position."
Purple Ultimate Celestial Venerable's gaze shone brightly as he swept it across the Origin Land, wanting to know who the new Supreme Heavenly Venerate was.
He saw that within the Origin Land, there were twelve Taishang realm overlords undergoing tribulation, charging towards the Supreme Celestial Position, their entire bodies bathed in endless tribulation light.
However, although the auras of these twelve were continuously growing stronger, they were far from being Supreme Heavenly Venerates; the gap was immense.
"It shouldn't be a Taishang seizing the chance to break through. It must be an old Heavenly Venerate reclaiming their position, just like Haotian."
But whether it was him, the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates, or the Ancient Great Venerables, they all guessed that it was most likely a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who had fallen in the past, now returning to reclaim their position.
This was not without precedent; Haotian was exactly like this—he had returned to his position, becoming a Supreme Heavenly Venerate once more.
Supreme Heavenly Venerates were eternal existences, immortal and indestructible. Even if they had fallen in the past, according to their eternal, indestructible nature, they would eventually reappear in the mortal world. No one could truly kill them, not even other Supreme Heavenly Venerates. At most, they could be shattered and forced into reincarnation, but their true spirit remained unextinguished.
Now, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate had been born, but they all believed it was an old Supreme Heavenly Venerate reappearing, reclaiming their position.
Of course, even for a past Supreme Heavenly Venerate, reclaiming their position was extremely difficult, with little hope—quite slim, in fact.
"Wait, that Eternal origin is different. None of our old Heavenly Venerate acquaintances from the past had such an Eternal origin."
Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate's expression turned stern. Every Supreme Heavenly Venerate's Eternal origin was unique and unchangeable, even upon reclaiming their position.
Take Haotian, for example. Even though he had been stripped of his Heavenly Venerate position and exiled in the past, upon reclaiming it, his Eternal origin remained the same; his aura could not be altered.
Now, with the appearance of this eleventh Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the aura was completely different from the Eternal origins of the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates who had fallen in the past. Clearly, this was not a past Supreme Heavenly Venerate, but someone seizing the opportunity to charge through the barrier, stepping into the Eternal realm and becoming a new Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
"A new Supreme Heavenly Venerate has been born. Who could it be?"
All the Supreme Heavenly Venerates from various factions wore solemn expressions. The birth of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was something even they could not ignore, for it was an absolute supreme existence on equal footing with them.
The Ancient Great Venerables of the All Heavens were also greatly shocked. A new Supreme Heavenly Venerate had actually been born.
But who could it be?
"Could it be that a Heavenly Venerate seed at the Taishang realm level took advantage of the time when all the Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerables were absent to charge towards Eternity and achieve the Supreme Celestial Position?" an Ancient Great Venerable speculated. This was not without reason.
Throughout history, there had only been a handful of Supreme Heavenly Venerates, not only because their birth was extremely difficult, but also because some Supreme Heavenly Venerates did not allow later aspirants to rise. They would intervene and obstruct peerless geniuses attempting to charge towards Eternity, preventing their success.
Now, someone had seen that the vast majority of Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerates in the Origin Land had left, entering the Endless Void Land, and had seized this opportunity to charge through the barrier and attempt to prove their Supreme Celestial Position, joining the ranks of the strongest throughout history.
One had to admit, this was an act of immense courage.
Only by choosing this opportunity was it most possible to prove the Supreme Celestial Position and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the current ten Supreme Heavenly Venerates.
"Hmph, so someone actually took advantage of us Heavenly Venerates entering the Endless Void Land to successfully charge towards Eternity?"
On Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate's side, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate's expression turned icy.
"Ten Directions, you go and intercept the newly born Supreme Heavenly Venerate," Asura Celestial Sovereign said to another Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
"As it should be."
One of the Supreme Heavenly Venerates immediately disengaged from the battlefield, preparing to leave and return to the Origin Land, intending to shatter the success of this latercomer.
Now, Haotian's return to his position had already, to some extent, disrupted the current Heavenly Venerate landscape, and the fact that Deathless Celestial Sovereign possessed Heavenly Venerate-level combat power was similarly disruptive.
Under these circumstances, the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates absolutely would not permit the birth of a new Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Immediately, even if they did not deal with the Ancient Great Venerables of the All Heavens, they would still take action against the new Supreme Heavenly Venerate, determined not to let them achieve complete success.
Just as this demonic god-like Supreme Heavenly Venerate had just shattered the Eternal space and prepared to enter the Origin Land, suddenly, his expression turned stern.
Because at the location of the shattered Eternal space ahead, endless chaos surged violently. A figure of peerless grace and heroic bearing strode out along the chaos, his form merging with it, all Daos submitting. He stepped forward and slapped a palm towards Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate.
Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate snorted coldly and similarly slapped out a palm, clashing head-on with the newcomer.
The Endless Void Land, vast as the Thirty-Three Celestial Domains, centered around the two, was directly annihilated into dust, transforming into violent chaos.
Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's figure remained unmoved. His eyes were as piercing as Heavenly Venerate suns as he looked at the newcomer.
Although the newcomer was submerged in chaos, his figure flickering uncertainly, it could not block the direct gaze of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate. In the blink of an eye, he was seen: a divine and handsome youth who appeared to be in his early twenties, with hair as black as a waterfall. To his left floated an ancient cauldron that seemed to bear the weight of all history, inscribed with patterns of the All Heavens, shimmering with chaotic light.
To his right, ten massive Celestial Gates encircled him.
With one on the left and one on the right, the divine and handsome youth stood in the center. He looked very young, but his gaze was profoundly deep, as if he had experienced countless ages. He was absolutely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
It was precisely such a youth who could contend head-on with Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate. His strength was, as one could imagine, formidable.
Without a doubt, he was absolutely also a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
"You, are you that new Supreme Heavenly Venerate?" Ten Directions Heavenly Venerate's gaze focused slightly, landing on the newcomer. That vast, boundless Heavenly might confirmed his identity.
In the Endless Void Land, the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Great Venerables all looked over.
"It's him!"
Soon, the Ancient Great Venerables from various factions were greatly shocked, for this new Supreme Heavenly Venerate was the same newly emerged Great Venerable who had taken action against Qingtian Great Venerable not long ago. Now it seemed they had guessed wrong; the other party was not a Great Venerable at all.
Moreover, judging by the circumstances, the other party was likely, like Haotian, a Supreme Heavenly Venerate who had returned to reclaim his position. Otherwise, no matter how heaven-defying a Taishang realm overlord was, they could not possibly slay one of the most powerful Ancient Great Venerables of the current era.
"It's you!"
Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate's gaze instantly blazed countless times brighter. Similarly, he was shocked—the other party was actually the one who had slain his personal great disciple.
Earlier, he had wanted to personally take action to punish this individual.
He never expected that the other party had now become a Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Moreover, what soon made his gaze sharpen was the chaotic great cauldron floating beside the youth. It looked very familiar, identical to the ancient cauldron of that Primordial Realm Heavenly Venerate whom he, along with Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate and Ancient Nether Heavenly Venerate, had intervened to slay all those years ago.
In a flash of realization, Wanxuan Heavenly Venerate understood everything, immediately grasping the cause and effect. His gaze deepened countless times, piercing through all heavenly secrets, as he said, "I never expected you to still be alive and to have returned to reclaim your position... Primordial Realm Heavenly Venerate!"
