Chapter 1143 The Mysterious Shengzu Heaven (1/2)

The Hunyuan Heaven main force had come to a stop on a large plateau. However, they did not set up camp this time, but instead silently seated themselves and began to absorb the surrounding Genesis Qi.

Everyone understood that an intense battle awaited them, a battle that would be far more dangerous than any they had ever experienced.

Before, the Sacred Race was merely a name that was filled with mystery and danger. The many records of the Sacred Race spoke mainly of their overwhelming power, making the Hunyuan Heaven members feel a tremendous amount of pressure. However, they also understood that as Hunyuan Heaven representatives, every battle they fought was for the future of Hunyuan Heaven.

Every additional portion of ancestral qi obtained might result in the appearance of another heaven pride. Among these talented geniuses, some might ultimately grow into Law Domain experts, strengthening the heaven’s overall might, or even a Saint stage expert that would greatly boost the heaven’s power.

Hence, the battle for Guyuan Heaven was not only for their own benefit, but also for every resident of their heaven.

Guan Qinglong, Zhou Yuan and the other captains were gathered at the front. All of them were peering into the distance where an enormous stone wall silently towered within the misty mountains, as if it had existed since the start of time and would continue on into eternity.

Though they could only make out its silhouette, the ancestral qi undulations it gave off were so concentrated that Zhou Yuan and the others, who were seeing it for the first time, began to subconsciously breathe a little heavier.

Even the high grade branch channel from before paled in comparison to this wall.

However, this was not strange. Extremely high concentrations of Genesis Qi would gather at such locations, and after years of settling, a structure like the wall would be born. The difficulty of achieving such conditions was far greater than a high grade branch channel.

“It really is a blessing of nature.” Zhou Yuan sighed as desire burned in his eyes.

Guan Qinglong chuckled and said, “But even the best blessing can only be enjoyed by the winner. If we fail, we will have to flee with our tails between our legs.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he said, “I did not expect Shengwang Heaven alone to be capable of matching our Hunyuan Heaven. What about Shengzu Heaven?”

At these words, Zhou Yuan observed the usually calm Guan Qinglong’s face turn grave.

“Shengzu Heaven is far stronger than you can imagine.” Guan Qinglong sighed. “Do you know how most of the past battles for Guyuan Heaven have ended?”

“The battle for Guyuan Heaven occurs roughly once every thousand years, and our records show that we’ve participated nearly a hundred times. Among these records, the five heavens have only seized the biggest main channel five times.

“In other words, the remaining ninety plus times ended in Shengzu Heaven’s victory.

“It’s an abysmally low win-rate for us.”

The expressions of Zhou Yuan, Qin Lian, Chu Qing and the other captains turned somewhat ugly. After nearly a hundred battles, the five heavens of the many races had only gained the upper hand five times?!

“Our five triumphs were made possible because of the super heaven prides that emerged from the five heavens. Among these five super heaven prides, two ultimately ascended the peak and became Saint experts!”

Guan Qinglong looked towards Zhou Yuan. “Supreme sovereign Cang Yuan is one of them.”

Surprise filled Zhou Yuan’s face. The answer to his question had somewhat exceeded his expectations. He never imagined that his master was so dazzling in his youth. It was no wonder he had managed to step into the Saint stage and stand at the apex of the many races.

“From these numbers, one can imagine what kind of monsters are needed to fight against Shengzu Heaven.” Guan Qinglong smiled helplessly. Even his usual calm and confident self seemed rather pessimistic in the face of the mysterious and powerful Shengzu Heaven.

The others were also silent.

Dong Ye, Su Youwei, Wu Yao and the rest displayed grave expressions.

Amidst the depressing atmosphere, Zhou Yuan suddenly asked in an earnest voice, “Could I be that kind of monstrous heaven pride?”
