Chapter 1496 The Glorious History of the Tiandao Clan
Thinking of this, Wang Xian felt that all the blood in his body froze instantly, and cold sweat oozed out from his back like fine ice beads.

The bone-chilling chill was like an icy snake, winding its way up along his coccyx and straight to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle.

And in his perception, it seemed as if a pair of claws condensed from the rich Netherworld energy were passing through layers of illusion and slowly reaching into his body.

The five fingers of the claw were long and sharp, carrying a hint of decay, tightly grasping his beating heart. Every slight tremor seemed to drain the life out of him.

Wang Xian swallowed subconsciously, trying to ease his extremely tense nerves, but his dry throat seemed to be filled with hot sand, so dry that he couldn't make any sound.

What's even more terrifying is that if the deepest part of the Dark Realm is really as he guessed, with terrifying dark creatures at the level of 'Nine-turn Immortal Emperor' and 'Ten-turn Immortal Emperor' lurking, then Wang Xian has an extremely horrifying inference deep in his heart: Hongjun, who has completely merged with the Dark Realm and incarnated the dark world of this strange heaven and earth, has probably already broken through the shackles of his past strength and possessed the terrifying combat power of the Heavenly Emperor level that is enough to make the entire cultivation world tremble!
This thought, like a meteorite carrying destructive power, hit Wang Xian's heart hard.

In an instant, Wang Xian's pupils shrank sharply, like a lone star in a cold night illuminated by strong light. The whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot threads like spider webs, and most of his energy was drained away in an instant.

His originally rosy face suddenly turned even paler than the palest rice paper in winter, completely bloodless.

Driven by instinct, Wang Xian's feet lost control and he retreated madly involuntarily. His clothes rustled in the violent chaotic airflow, like a battle flag that was about to be broken. He was just like a frightened bird being chased by a prehistoric beast.

At this moment, Wang Xian had only one thought in his mind - to desperately escape from the edge of the 'Chaos Sea' that bordered the Dark Realm, the farther away from the Dark Realm the better.

Dark Hongjun, as the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Realm, is like the "Eye of Domination" and "Core Heart" of this dark world.

In this realm shrouded in layers of thick, inky black fog, his perception was pervasive and nearly omniscient.

Every inch of land and every breath within the realm is under his control.

If any living being dared to step into the scope of the dark world, even if it only caused a very tiny fluctuation of breath, in the perception of Dark Hongjun, it would be like a dazzling light suddenly lighting up in the pitch-black night, and he would be keenly aware of it in an instant.

With Wang Xian's deep understanding of the dark world, he knew very well in his heart that if he was not careful, even if he just stepped lightly into the forbidden land with his toes, he would not even have the most basic chance to react and would be subdued by the supreme power of Dark Hongjun in an instant.

Although, with 'reincarnation', he can come back again, but there is a powerful existence behind the Dark Hongjun, who can only be contended by the 'Lord of Taboo', and there must be several or even more than ten 'Lords of Taboo'.

Wang Xian was really afraid that after Dark Hongjun subdued him, he would ask the most powerful being to move. By then, even 'reincarnation' would be of no use!

Wang Xian's panicked and almost inappropriate behavior made Jian Yang and others who were not far away stunned for a moment, with looks of surprise on their faces.

Especially those 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperors' who had already stepped into the Dark Realm, after catching a glimpse of Wang Xian's doomsday-like demeanor and his hasty retreat, alarm bells rang in their hearts, and a strong sense of uneasiness spread in their hearts.

They subconsciously looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with deep surprise and confusion.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately circulated the surging energy in their bodies and performed various secret techniques. A dazzling fairy light instantly appeared all around them. That fairy light was so bright and dazzling that it seemed like countless stars gathered together to illuminate the chaotic void around them.

Their figures were like arrows shot from a bow, flying out from the dark world with the sound of breaking wind, and in the blink of an eye they returned to the relatively safe area of ​​the 'Chaos Sea'.

"My friend, what's wrong? What happened?"

Jian Yang was the first to recover from his shock. His sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, forming a deep "川" character, and his eyes were full of doubts that could not be dispelled.

He had just stepped into the dark world and could clearly feel the aura of a dark creature at the level of the Fifth Revolution Immortal Emperor. However, in his opinion, with Wang Xian's strength, such an existence should not make him so panicked and out of control.

What kind of terrible thing had happened to make Wang Xian panic to such an extent that he even took such an extreme action as retreating madly?
The other peak Nine-transformation Immortal Emperors also cast doubtful glances at Wang Xian.

They are all top existences from the vast "Sea of ​​Chaos", and what they represent are the "Immortal Level", "Immortal Level" and "Eternal Level" superpowers that have stood in this chaotic area for at least ten epochs.

In their long-standing cognition, the 'Chaos Sea' is the core area of ​​the current era where powerful people gather and masters emerge in large numbers. Countless brilliant people have risen here. How could a mere dark world contain terrifying existences that make them afraid?
“——huff——huff——”

Wang Xian took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm the turbulent waves in his heart. After a long while, his breathing finally stabilized a little.

Wang Xian did not directly answer Jian Yang's question, but stared at Jian Yang and asked, "Do you know the 'Tian Dao Clan'?"

"The Heavenly Dao Clan?"

When Jian Yang heard this, his already frowned brows tightened even more. This name seemed like an ancient and mysterious spell, instantly opening the long-closed door deep in his memory.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of reminiscence, and tried hard to piece together the bits and pieces about this race in his mind.

That was something that happened dozens of epochs ago. The passage of time had mercilessly washed away his memory, and many details had long since become blurred. For a moment, he could hardly recall much specific information related to it.

The female Immortal Emperor at the side was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes widened with shock, and she couldn't help but quickly said: "The Heavenly Dao Clan? The race that can merge with the world and become the embodiment of the world's rules? Wasn't that race completely wiped out by the top forces hundreds of epochs ago?"

The words of the female fairy emperor were like a huge rock with amazing power, smashing hard on the calm lake surface, instantly stirring up thousands of turbulent waves.
The 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperors' from various forces on the scene all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and those memories about the 'Heavenly Dao Clan' that had been sealed for a long time surged into their minds like a flood that broke through a dam.

More than a hundred epochs ago, a stunning genius emerged from the Heavenly Dao Clan. This person was gifted, one in a million, and his cultivation speed was terrifying. His realm was raised like a rocket, and he advanced rapidly all the way.

In just a very short period of time, he successfully broke through many levels and reached the pinnacle realm of "Nine-turn Immortal Emperor" that countless practitioners dream of but cannot reach.

However, his ambition is like an endless abyss, with no end in sight.

In order to break through to the more powerful realm of the 'Ten Revolutions Immortal Emperor', or even go one step further and impact the supreme position of the Heavenly Emperor, this genius actually came up with a shocking and crazy idea - to merge with the vast 'Sea of ​​Chaos' and become the absolute controller of the rules of this chaotic area!
As soon as this news came out, the entire cultivation world was turned upside down in an instant, as if a super nuclear bomb was thrown into a calm lake.

Such behavior is undoubtedly a blatant challenge to the bottom line of all practitioners and a serious provocation to the entire practice order!

Once the genius of the 'Heavenly Dao Clan' successfully merges with the 'Chaos Sea' and becomes the Heavenly Dao of the 'Chaos Sea', all the practitioners in the 'Chaos Sea', even the Heavenly Emperor who stands at the top of the pyramid of the cultivation world, will face two extremely difficult choices.

Either abandon the foundation on which you depend for survival, reluctantly leave the 'Sea of ​​Chaos', and head to the mysterious ancient worlds, the vast and boundless worlds, and the mysterious and ethereal "Heaven Beyond Heaven".

Otherwise, they can only give up all their dignity and pride, and willingly submit to the newly born "Heavenly Way", thus losing their freedom and autonomy.

Let alone the almighty Heavenly Emperor, even a 'First-level Immortal Emperor' who has just stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor and is full of ambitions has his own pride and persistence in his heart. How could he easily bow down to others and be willing to become a vassal?
In fact, when the major forces finally realized the crazy ambition of the genius of the "Tiandao Clan", everything was already too late.

He had already secretly started the process of merging with the 'Chaos Sea'. Although he had only merged a very small part, his strength had undergone a tremendous and astonishing change.

A terrifying aura of chilling pressure emanated from his entire body. With every move he made, he seemed to be able to control the cycle of life and death of all things in the world. Every action contained a terrifying power that could destroy the world.

At this moment, his fighting power was no less than that of the Emperor of Heaven, and he even had a tendency to surpass him. He was like a demon god descended from the ancient times, inspiring awe and fear in people.

In order to prevent the impending catastrophe, one after another, the Heavenly Emperors who had been hiding in the deepest part of the "Chaos Sea" and had not cared about worldly affairs for a long time came out.

One by one, the Heavenly Emperors marched towards the Heavenly Prodigy of the Heavenly Dao Clan.

The scene was like countless stars converging into a torrent, carrying a devastating momentum, ready to crush all obstacles in its way.

That battle was the most brutal and thrilling one since the ancient times.

In the chaotic void, countless dazzling fairy lights and the inky black demonic energy with endless decay were madly intertwined and collided. The roar was deafening, as if to tear the entire "Chaos Sea" apart from its foundation.

In the sky, the stars that had been shining forever fell one after another, like burning meteors, streaking across the sky.

The water of the 'Chaos Sea' also boiled and surged under the terrifying energy impact, turning into huge waves that covered the sky and the sun, seeming to submerge the entire world.

The strength of that Tiandao clan's genius was so terrifying that he single-handedly resisted the joint siege of many Tiandi, causing the sky to darken and the sun and moon to lose their light.

The Heavenly Emperors did not flinch either. They tried their best and displayed all kinds of magical powers with unparalleled power that could change the world. For a time, all kinds of horrifying energies ran rampant between heaven and earth, and the entire 'Sea of ​​Chaos' was on the brink of destruction.

Finally, after a long and extremely brutal battle, the genius of the 'Tian Dao Clan' finally died under the desperate siege of a group of Heavenly Emperors.

However, the price paid for this victory was extremely heavy.

At least ten Heavenly Emperors lost their souls in this battle. Their spirits dissipated in the endless chaos and returned to silence between heaven and earth.

It was not until dozens of epochs had passed that all the Heavenly Emperors returned with the help of the 'Heavenly Heart Seal'.

In order to prevent a similar catastrophe from happening again, all the forces of that era completely put aside their prejudices, united, and launched a brutal and genocidal campaign against the "Tian Dao Clan".

No matter whether it was the strong ones of the 'Tian Dao Clan' who had successfully merged with the world and become part of the world's rules, or the ordinary ones of the 'Tian Dao Clan' who had not yet completed the integration, or even the ones of the 'Tian Dao Clan' who were still in the gestation stage, none of them could escape this catastrophe and were all ruthlessly killed.

This siege operation lasted for several long epochs, and all the major forces were like well-trained night hunters, carefully searching for the traces of the "Tian Dao Clan" in every corner of the world.

They did not miss any possible clues, and every inch of land and every hidden corner were checked repeatedly by them.

Only after a long search, when no signs of the existence of the 'Tian Dao Clan' were found, did this protracted, bloody and murderous operation finally come to an end.

Jian Yang, the Female Immortal Emperor, Ao Qing and other powerful men at the peak of the 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperor', told each other about that magnificent yet extremely tragic past.

Their expressions were solemn and dignified, and their tone was filled with deep emotion and sighs, as if at that moment, their souls had returned to that era of war, life-and-death struggles, and witnessed those thrilling battles with their own eyes.

Wang Xian stood quietly by, stunned, and completely immersed in this shocking history.

He never imagined that the 'Tian Dao Clan' had such a glorious and thrilling past, and that they almost succeeded in merging with the 'Chaos Sea' and completely changing the landscape of the entire cultivation world.

Wang Xian couldn't help but recall the tragic scene of that great battle: countless warriors fighting desperately in the void, blood dyed the entire sky red, and the earth was shattered in the flames of war... He secretly felt fortunate that the Heavenly Emperors had successfully prevented this disaster from happening.
