Chapter 961: Jumping Out of the River of Time
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The tremors of the mountain peak intensified, causing some rocks to tumble off the cliffs and be torn apart by the swirling void storm below.
However, once these tremors reached a certain level, they ceased to increase, and the entire mountain did not display any other anomalies.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. The fact that the entire mountain resonated with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant indicated that there was indeed something hidden here, otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.
But why, then, was there only trembling and no other phenomena?
“Is the Suppressing Dragon Elephant I’m using too weak?”
Chen Fei pondered for a moment, and his spiritual essence began to unravel. Violent energy force surged directly into the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, making the six-legged dragon elephant behind him become increasingly distinct.
It was as if, in the next moment, the dragon elephant was about to truly step out of the void.
The tremors of the entire mountain peak increased sharply. Small cracks began to appear on the ground, and a faint, indistinct aura spread out, resonating with Chen Fei’s Suppressing Dragon Elephant.
Chen Fei sensed that aura and his expression shifted slightly. He slapped his left arm with his right hand, causing his entire left arm to break off at the shoulder and then explode into a mist of blood that fell onto the mountain peak.
Chen Fei remained expressionless as his injured left arm visibly began to heal. In the blink of an eye, his left arm was fully restored.
Such an injury would be somewhat troublesome for other beings at the Sun Moon Realm, though it would be somewhat simpler for those with protective divine abilities.
For Chen Fei, losing an arm was no different from a scratch on the skin.
The only difference was that the recovery required a bit more Energetic force.
The blood mist fell to the ground, which absorbed it quickly. The entire mountain peak suddenly burst with a dazzling light, causing Chen Fei to squint slightly.
When the surrounding light calmed down, the scene around Chen Fei had completely changed.
An ancient great hall, with walls resembling bronze, was adorned with various carvings. Chen Fei glanced around and saw not only human figures but also other large alien beasts.
Among these, Chen Fei noticed the silhouette of the six-legged dragon elephant, which occupied at least one-third of the entire mural.
Behind the six-legged dragon elephant, the number of figures in the mural increased, indicating that the number of this race was growing.
Subsequently, the various alien races this race encountered seemed to become stronger, but this race’s own power also surged wildly, until all the other races lay defeated on the ground.
In the final panel of the mural, Chen Fei saw numerous races kneeling in one direction.
“You have arrived!”
As Chen Fei was contemplating the meaning of the bronze murals, a voice suddenly echoed through the ancient bronze hall.
Chen Fei turned abruptly to face the front of the hall, where a figure slowly materialized. A tremendous pressure pervaded the entire hall, making one feel compelled to bow in submission.
Chen Fei’s body slightly bowed as he resisted the pressure, fixing his gaze on the phantom ahead.
The appearance of this phantom was identical to the figures on the bronze hall’s walls, with an eye in the center of the forehead and otherwise resembling a human being.
“Who might you be, and where is this place?” Chen Fei asked the figure in a deep voice.
“You may call me Yan. This is the Celestial Hall, the place of martial arts inheritance.”
Yan’s form fully materialized and then turned to Chen Fei, showing a slight smile. He continued:
“There is no need to be nervous. I have long since died. What you see now is merely a piece of information I left here. Otherwise, this Celestial Hall would not have been preserved.”
Chen Fei was momentarily stunned by Yan’s words. Yan was already dead? Just moments ago, Chen Fei had thought Yan was some sort of spirit of the bronze ancient hall.
“Do not be surprised. In my time, I delved into the rules of time, fate, and causality, and thus predicted that a human would appear here today.”
Yan seemed to peer through the river of time to see Chen Fei’s current expression and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
“How wondrous is creation. Who would have thought that the last person to master the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique would be a human?”
Chen Fei felt a slight shock. If what Yan said was true, then Yan’s power must have been astonishingly formidable.
To see a scene across such a vast stretch of time was not something easily achieved.
And it seemed that the race possessing such a powerful being had eventually vanished from the Return to Nothing Realm?
Otherwise, why would the mountain peak where the Celestial Hall is located be so desolate, even occupied by a ma.s.s of blood and flesh eyes?
The hundreds of blood and flesh eyes were indeed terrifying, but that was relative to the Sun Moon Realm.
Any Rule Integration Realm powerhouse among the human race could easily sweep away those blood and flesh eyes.
“Young friend, would you be interested in hearing a few stories from me?” Yan’s gaze fell on Chen Fei.
“Senior, outside the Celestial Hall, there is a pervading deathly aura. My time here may be limited,” Chen Fei replied quietly.
“I am aware. However, time flows differently within the Celestial Hall compared to the outside. You need not worry about the situation outside.”
Yan seemed to have genuinely heard Chen Fei’s concerns and responded with a gentle laugh.
Chen Fei looked at Yan. If Yan had truly been dead for many years and was able to converse like this based on the future he had seen, it was indeed terrifying.
This surpa.s.sed Chen Fei’s understanding of the rules.
Moreover, according to Yan, he had only comprehended part of such rules to achieve this.
How then must those who truly control the rules of time operate? Could they dive directly into the river of time and soar freely?
“I will follow your instructions, Senior!” Chen Fei said with a respectful gesture.
“Long ago, a race was born in the Return to Nothing Realm, known as the Three-Eyed Clan…”
Yan’s face took on a nostalgic look as he began to tell the story of the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Three-Eyed Clan was among the earliest races to emerge in the Return to Nothing Realm.
Initially, the Three-Eyed Clan was extremely weak compared to those races born with inherent powerful abilities due to the rules.
But the Three-Eyed Clan possessed exceptional talent. This talent was universal among all Three-Eyed people, meaning each member of the Three-Eyed Clan was a true prodigy.
They learned from the wonders of the world, using the various marvels of the Return to Nothing Realm as their teachers, and began their cultivation.
Despite lacking systematic martial arts inheritance, the Three-Eyed Clan’s power grew rapidly due to their outstanding talents. Even in the perilous Return to Nothing Realm, the Three-Eyed Clan quickly established a foothold.
The number of people within the Three-Eyed Clan increased, and their territory expanded. Eventually, their borders collided with those of other races.
War erupted unexpectedly. However, apart from an initial retreat, the Three-Eyed Clan began to grow stronger as they acquired the martial arts inheritance of the enemy races. Their power surged at an astonishing rate.
After decades of warfare, not only did the Three-Eyed Clan’s numbers not decrease, but they also grew, eventually winning this not overly brutal war.
This result instantly boosted the confidence of the Three-Eyed Clan.
It turned out that battle did not weaken the Three-Eyed Clan but made them stronger and stronger.
The Three-Eyed Clan began to consciously expand their territory. When encountering other races, they used their formidable strength to forcibly suppress them.
The acquired martial arts techniques were selectively absorbed by the powerful members of the Three-Eyed Clan, evolving into even stronger techniques that spread throughout their race.
This created a positive feedback loop: the Three-Eyed Clan grew stronger and expanded their territory further. Eventually, they faced their strongest opponent in history, the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant!
The Six-Legged Dragon Elephant, born from the rules of heaven and earth, was inherently powerful. Although the Three-Eyed Clan had also become very strong, they were still inferior compared to the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant.
The Three-Eyed Clan, which had always grown stronger through battle, suffered a severe defeat.
The Six-Legged Dragon Elephant Clan swept through the Three-Eyed Clan with overwhelming force, annihilating the territory and powerful figures the Three-Eyed Clan had painstakingly built up.
The Three-Eyed Clan fell into their darkest hour. For the survival of their race, they became a subordinate race to the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant, subjected to their enslavement.
This enslavement lasted a full ten thousand years. During this time, the Three-Eyed Clan secretly ama.s.sed strength, waiting for the right opportunity.
The Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was created during this period.
It required the blood essence of the Dragon Elephant as the catalyst for cultivation, deliberately included in the technique by the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Three-Eyed Clan intended to inform their people that if they did not rise up, they would be suppressed by other races.
It must be said that the Three-Eyed Clan’s talent was indeed remarkable—they learned quickly. Even though they were enslaved by the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant, they gained much knowledge from them.
One day, when the Dragon Elephant Clan was engaged in a war with other races, the Three-Eyed Clan finally took action.
Several peak Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm members of the Three-Eyed Clan broke through to the Open Heaven Realm. At the cost of one Open Heaven Realm life, they broke the enslavement mark of the Dragon Elephant Clan.
After a century-long war, the Three-Eyed Clan emerged victorious, and the Six-Legged Dragon Elephant Clan became the ones enslaved by the Three-Eyed Clan.
All members of the Three-Eyed Clan practiced the first stage of their body tempering technique, which was unified as the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.
This served as a reminder to all Three-Eyed Clan members not to forget the humiliation of those ten thousand years, and the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, continually perfected, became an exceptionally excellent martial arts inheritance.
After all, not every technique could achieve blood rebirth at the Fourth-Level Mountain Sea Realm, and even Fifth-Level techniques struggled to do so.
But the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could!
Moreover, based on the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, the Three-Eyed Clan created an even more excellent cultivation technique. When the Suppressing Dragon Elephant was cultivated to its peak, it could be further developed into this new technique.
Thus, the Celestial Suppression!
With the emergence of the Celestial Suppression technique, the Three-Eyed Clan gradually reached their peak and even renamed themselves the Origin Tribe!
