Chapter 1345: Chapter 1342: The Mist of History (Updating for ’How Much Grief, How Much Madness’, 2/3)_2
Hearing the True Martial Supreme’s murmured self-talk, the disciples behind him were stunned, their mouths agape, hardly able to believe their own ears.
This secret had not been leaked, but the disciple told his son as a warning not to underestimate the ancients. Unexpectedly, somehow, the news spread quickly.
The world was in uproar.
Most people did not believe it, thinking it was fake news, but as the news spread wider and the True Martial Supreme did not come forward to deny it, many people began to waver.
Not long after, some printed records began to flow out of Wudang Mountain, clearly recounting many major events from 190,000 years ago.
"I do not wish for anyone to forget the contributions made by our predecessors."
That’s what the True Martial Supreme said.
The sensation it caused in the world was indescribable; for a moment, figures like the Holy Monarch and the grand estate owners, already shining like the sun in the long river of history, seemed even more incomparable.
Countless people imagined what a time of "Wind Rises and Clouds Surge" it must have been.
Several tens of thousands of years later.
Wudang Mountain no longer existed, having turned into historical dust, and new powers had taken its place.
In this era, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became denser, and the rules of nature were also becoming more complete. The supremely powerful beings, once encountered only once every ten thousand years, gradually became more common, reaching an astonishing number of over three hundred.
Because the limits of heaven and earth had not yet been reached, each Supreme Lord lived for two hundred thousand years.
Among these hundreds of Supreme Lords, one stood out as exceptionally dominant. From the moment he emerged, he was unmatched among his peers, sweeping competitors from all corners of the world, and even defeating those above him, creating many shocking records.
At the age of six hundred and twenty-two, he stepped into the realm of Sky Origin, becoming the youngest Supreme Lord in more than two hundred thousand years!
He was known as the Unparalleled Supreme Lord!
The Unparalleled Supreme Lord did not stop in his rapid ascent. Over the next few thousand years, his power grew even more refined as if there were no limits, surpassing one renowned Supreme Lord after another.
In the end, the Unparalleled Supreme Lord defeated almost all the other Supreme Lords, except for the True Martial Supreme, who had been missing for a long time and left no trace.
But fortune favors the diligent, and at the age of twenty-six thousand, the Unparalleled Supreme Lord still found the reclusive True Martial Supreme, who had long withdrawn from the affairs of the world.
This battle attracted the attention of the entire world; everyone wanted to know who was the number one master under the heavens.
The Unparalleled Supreme Lord won, and moreover, he used only three moves.
"True Martial, you once said you were not the match of many during the great era. Where do you think I would rank if I lived in that time?"
The Unparalleled Supreme Lord asked casually.
The True Martial Supreme was silent.
The records he had obtained from the True Martial Array System were incomplete, many having been damaged by the erosion of time, so it was only possible to vaguely judge the strength of those exceptional individuals. Most of the truth remained a mystery.
"What a pity, what a pity. If possible, I would really like to compare myself with the Holy Monarch and test my strength against the great estate owner. In my entire life, I, the Unparalleled, have never been inferior to anyone!"
When news of this battle spread, the world was shaken.
Everyone was astonished at the Unparalleled Supreme Lord’s terrifying combat power.
Time hurried on, and another thirty thousand years passed.
The rules of the world became more complete, allowing for the existence of Semi-Broken Level powerhouses, yet still not reaching the limit that would reduce the lifespan of Supreme Lords, making it the most perfect era.
By this time, the Unparalleled Supreme Lord had already swept across the world, dominating East Victory. Under the circumstances where he used only ten percent of his power, a Supreme Lord who could withstand one of his moves could be called unparalleled.
He truly stood at the pinnacle of humanity, his word the law, able to decree life and death with a single sentence.
Even the True Martial Supreme had to admit, he was a prodigy of the ages; even if placed in the great era, he would likely rank among the top few.
Perhaps, he really could have battled against the Holy Monarch and the great estate owner?
When the Unparalleled Supreme Lord was sixty thousand years old, he accidentally discovered a scroll in an ancient place that recorded the history of Nine Heavens Mountain.
A few days later.
The Unparalleled Supreme suddenly announced to the world that he would take over Nine Heavens Mountain and become the new ruler there. As soon as the news broke, it swept through the East Victory world like a tidal wave.
For a full two hundred thousand years, no matter how powerful or immortal a martial sect was, they all disappeared into the river of history, only Nine Heavens Mountain remained with its reputation untarnished, and this was not without reason.
Many suspected that the current site of Nine Heavens Mountain was not the real Nine Heavens Mountain, and that the descendants of this ancient number-one sect still existed.
Not to mention, with the continuous discovery of ancient texts, Nine Heavens Mountain had long become a symbol of the East Victory world, irreplaceable by any force.
But now, the Unparalleled Supreme openly declared that taking over was but a facade, and replacing it was his true intent!
Due to his might, no one dared to openly criticize, but all eyes turned to Nine Heavens Mountain, speculating about the eventual fate of this number-one holy land.
"I am Unparalleled, there’s no one like me under the heavens, from today onwards, I will reforge the past glory here and rename it Unparalleled Manor!"
At the site of Nine Heavens Mountain, the Unparalleled Supreme, whose aura surged mightily, almost crushing the heavens, bellowed like thunder.
His figure was exceptionally tall and majestic, shrouded within a light screen, reminiscent of an invincible deity of war, causing ordinary martial artists to suffer stabbing pain in their eyes and madness in their spirits at a single glance.
"How audacious!"
Accompanied by an angry roar, brilliant divine light exploded from the void.
The countless onlookers nearby gaped in astonishment as, behind the suddenly appearing Array System light screen, they saw a sea of surging clouds, in which they could faintly perceive the grand and beautiful pavilions, as if belonging to a fairyland, unmatched by any sect today.
"Could it be, this, this is the legendary Nine Heavens Mountain, the Ten Sovereigns Manor?"
Many swallowed hard.
The Unparalleled Supreme’s eyes flashed as he stepped forward, "The sacred land of martial arts belongs to the capable, and only I, the Unparalleled Supreme, am fit to bring Nine Heavens Mountain to its former glory once more."
He threw a punch.
Clang!
The Array System light screen trembled violently, bursting forth with the might of the peak Sky Origin realm, surging back towards the Unparalleled Supreme. This single strike alone was enough to make the many Supremes watching from afar tremble in shock.
Nevertheless, the Unparalleled Supreme still broke through the Array System light with a single punch, displaying strength too powerful, making even the True Martial Supreme bristle with alarm, at least twice as strong as in the past.
This level of power was truly stunning, peerless throughout the ages—how many could compare?
Inside Nine Heavens Mountain, several male and female heirs were pale to the extreme.
They were not descendants of the main Manor Lord, nor were they descendants of the other nine Manor Lords; they were the legacy left by some Elders, guarding this place generation after generation.
In fact, even they only knew a corner of Nine Heavens Mountain, for most parts were sealed away by an inexplicable force, inaccessible.
But this did not deter them in the slightest from their determination to protect their ancestral land. Only, they had not expected the Unparalleled Supreme to be so overwhelmingly powerful, beyond imagination.
They only regretted that the Nine Profound Array System, after nearly three hundred thousand years and repeated erosion by the heavenly laws, was no longer as powerful as it once was, otherwise they would not be in such a passive position.
The Unparalleled Supreme punched again and again, "In the past the great Manor Lord ruled this place, and now I, the Unparalleled Supreme, with talent and power not inferior to his, why shouldn’t I be the one to take control here? Nine Heavens Mountain is for the whole East Victory world, not the domain of any single family—open for me!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Under the fierce attack of the Unparalleled Supreme, clear cracks appeared on the surface of the Nine Profound Array System. This Array System that had protected Nine Heavens Mountain for countless years was on the verge of breaking.
The heirs of Nine Heavens Mountain were shocked and angry, as well as filled with indescribable guilt. Could it be that the immortal base built by their ancestors in the past would change hands during their generation?
How could they possibly face their ancestors with such a disgrace?!
Countless people sighed in their hearts, the Unparalleled Supreme was truly unparalleled, dominating and invincible under the heavens. There was simply nothing that could stop what he set out to do.
From now on, a new era was about to begin.
Just at that moment!
On the site of Nine Heavens Mountain, a young man in green suddenly appeared.
Tall and straight, his jet-black hair was tinged with strands of white at the temples, which, rather than making him look old, added a touch of dashing elegance. The glow of his exceedingly handsome face, with deep, clear eyes like starry skies, was unforgettable at a glance.
