Chapter 4528 - 4528 The Void Elder, the Top Supreme Powerhouse Before the Gap in History!

4528 The Void Elder, the Top Supreme Powerhouse Before the Gap in History!

‘Huh?!’

Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the disembodied voice. Only those below the realm of supreme powerhouses could enter this Realm of Origin, but he was completely restrained by the powerful energy of the owner of the voice. This meant that the owner of the void had to be the level-seven supreme powerhouse who was said to have left this Realm of Origin behind before the gap in history.

“My efforts have finally paid off… The person I’ve been waiting for has finally appeared! Excellent! Even your age is just right,” the voice continued to say.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked, worried, and frightened upon hearing these words. He could not help but wonder if the other party intended to possess him. After all, he had many experiences like this. Apart from the Crimson Demon, there was also the time when he first came to the Saint Province Realm, and he was almost possessed by the Rebirth Martial Emperor. Fortunately, the Rebirth Martial Emperor failed to possess him due to the laws that governed the mundane realm. However, the owner of the voice was an extremely powerful supreme powerhouse and was unlikely to be restrained by the laws.

“Heaven is indifferent to its creations, but I, the Void Elder, refuse to submit to the bullsh*t way of heaven! I might lack the strength to continue down this path, but my successor will continue the journey for me! Before the destruction of heaven and earth, my peers and I retreated to our respective Realms of Origins. They left behind all their possessions before their deaths so they’ll be found when heaven and earth are reconstructed. Unlike them, I chose to leave my memories behind. In order to extend the longevity of my Realm of Origin, I sacrificed all my possessions and used all my Divine Energy. I finally met my successor today! Heaven pushed me off the cliff of no return, but I wonder if it’ll be able to do so to my successor who’s destined to surpass me!” the voice said before laughing.

Duan Ling Tian only heard the sounds of laughter before he finally lost consciousness.

…

When Duan Ling Tian finally regained consciousness, he found himself inside a stone house.

‘Where am I? What happened?’

He looked around and discovered that there was only a bed and table in the spotlessly clean house.

At this moment, he reached up and clutched his head, assaulted by a splitting headache. He recalled the ancient voice and the words that he had heard before he passed out. In the next moment, he was overwhelmed by a huge wave of memories that flooded his mind.

After a while, when the pain finally subsided, Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes in disbelief.

‘These are the memories that the Void Elder left behind… He was that person who was cursing heaven earlier! Most importantly, he wasn’t a level-seven supreme powerhouse! He was a level-nine supreme powerhouse from before the gap in history! He comprehended the Sword Dao to the ninth stage and the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao to the eighth stage. Apart from that, he also comprehended the law of space, the law of life, and the law of death to the paramount stage!’

Duan Ling Tian could not help but inhale sharply after browsing through the memories of the supreme powerhouse. He wondered if all the supreme powerhouses before the gap in history were so powerful. After he continued browsing the memories, he learned that not all supreme powerhouses were as powerful as the Void Elder. In fact, the Void Elder was among the few powerful supreme powerhouses during his time and very few people could rival him.

‘If heaven and earth weren’t destroyed back then, he might have the strength to rival heaven after comprehending the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao to the ninth stage!’

Duan Ling Tian was shocked by how powerful the Void Elder was that even heaven trembled before him. The other party was so powerful that the Heavenly Tribulation that came once in 10,000 years stopped coming for him as though it had been defeated by the other party. The Heavenly Tribulation was one of the ways for heaven to keep things in check. However, although heaven was so powerful that even the strongest Heavenly Tribulation was just a small part of its strength, it could not make a direct move on certain people and could only rely on different methods to act.

‘The Void Elder’s knowledge is all here…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up, and he browsed through the other party’s knowledge of the law of space and the Sword Dao.

‘His Sword Dao was perfectly integrated with his law of space! If I can understand his Spatial Sword Dao, my law of space will reach the paramount stage! I’ve hit the jackpot!’

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also learned that most Realms of Origins could only be entered once. However, the Void Elder, who was determined to find his successor to inherit his memories and knowledge, made sure that his Realm of Origin could be entered thrice. He hoped that his successor would be able to achieve his ultimate goal of defying heaven after inheriting his memories and knowledge.

‘How strange… According to the Void Elder’s memories, before the gap in history, after entering the realm of Kings of Gods, cultivators would only face the Heavenly Tribulation once every 10,000 years. To become a level-seven supreme powerhouse, one must comprehend one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to the seventh stage and a law to the paramount stage before entering the realm of advanced Supreme Gods. After that, one would attract a special Heavenly Tribulation and the strength of the tribulation depended on one’s cultivation base. Intermediate Supreme Gods had the highest chance of surviving the tribulation, which would help them lay the foundation to becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse. On the other hand, no supreme powerhouses had survived the special Heavenly Tribulation. As for advanced Supreme Gods, only a few monstrous prodigies could survive the tribulation. the Void Elder was such a prodigy. He passed the Heavenly Tribulation easily when he was an advanced Supreme God.’
