Chapter 1424: Chapter 1423: Is This Tripod Truly Extraordinary?

[Seeking tips, brothers and sisters, please show some support, don’t let the board look too embarrassing, thank you all!]

According to what the God Beating Bowl, this troublemaker, described, during the Mythical Era, in the Martial Arts World, all living beings who could cultivate to the Martial Arts Peak were able to enter the Immortal Domain through the Immortal Path, thus achieving immortality. However, for reasons unknown, and at a time uncertain, the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Martial Arts World began to change gradually, and it seemed that the Immortal Path was sealed. Even beings who had reached the ranks of Supreme Strong could not enter the Immortal Domain through the Immortal Path. To uncover the reason, and to carve out a new Immortal Path, for themselves and for future generations, all the Emperors of that era gathered together and attacked the Immortal Domain.

These Emperors were undoubtedly powerful; each one was a supreme existence. Any one of them could dominate the entire Martial Arts World, and even the Heavenly Dao Laws, which all living beings had to obey, had to be acknowledged by them when they proved their Dao and became Emperors. They shattered the Heavenly Dao Laws, and after doing so, these legendary figures of the Emperor Realm attacked the Immortal Domain. They wanted to succeed, to prove themselves, to achieve immortality, and also to pave a path for future generations of beings. After an exceptionally fierce battle with the Heavenly Dao Laws, they continued on to the Immortal Domain, ripping a fissure into it, seemingly on the verge of entering. However, a powerful immortal from the Immortal Domain appeared to stop them. Though they were already heavily wounded from the battle with the Heavenly Dao Laws, faced with an undefeatable immortal, they were defeated. They could no longer survive, as they had already sacrificed themselves for resentment and the power of heroic spirits, and now, having failed, figures at the Emperor Realm could only fall.

Death was not terrifying to these Supreme Strong; it was nothing to them. They were only angry at why the Heavenly Dao Laws were like this. Why were immortals in the Immortal Domain preventing those from the Lower Realm from becoming immortal? Did they truly regard all living beings in the Lower Realm as ants and lowly creatures? The Heavenly Dao is not benevolent, and the Immortal Domain is not benevolent. To them, are all living beings in the Lower Realm mere grass and straw dogs?

Thinking of this, any person with a bit of courage would feel unwilling, indignant, wanting to pierce through the Heavenly Dao Laws, to break into the arrogant world of the Immortal Domain, to show them that all living beings in the Lower Realm have flesh and blood, dignity and pride. Even ordinary beings cannot endure such treatment and enslavement, let alone these indomitable Supreme Strong. Even if they fall, undefeated by the invincible immortals of the Immortal Domain, they do not dissipate. Their resentment and heroic spirits interfere with the Heavenly Dao Laws, preventing them from harming future generations. However, the Heavenly Dao Laws are unimaginably strong, and even though several legendary figures of the Emperor Realm struck together and shattered it, it still did not vanish entirely. These predecessors, the Emperors, continue to resist it. They have not conceded, wanting to destroy the Heavenly Dao Laws completely, so future generations would not face such obstacles. This stalemate continued until the end of the Mythical Era.

Heaven and earth trembled, and the heavenly vault shattered as a Black Tripod descended from the sky, catching the attention of the powerful from all around. Many ancient legacies were taken aback, and even all forbidden zones of the Martial Arts World sensed its presence. When the Black Tripod appeared, a voice followed. It wasn’t domineering or majestic, yet it resonated throughout the universe, leaving people shocked and shivering in disbelief.

”Future Supreme Strong of the Martial Arts World, holding this tripod, may break open the Immortal Path and enter the Immortal Domain, thus calming the great catastrophe and awaiting reincarnation!”

This voice echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts World, not just heard by martial artists. Some powerful species heard it, and even many common people heard this sentence. However, not everyone understood its meaning. Only some powerful species and the elders of ancient legacies knew what it signified—that this Black Tripod descended from the sky, from the Immortal Domain, intending to calm this great catastrophe, to stop the battle between the Heavenly Dao Laws and the heroic spirits of these legendary figures of the Emperor Realm. Prolonged conflict wouldn’t be beneficial to either the Martial Arts World or the Immortal Domain.

As the Black Tripod fell, the obsessions of these legendary figures of the Emperor Realm battling against the Heavenly Dao Laws gradually calmed and eventually dispersed within the Martial Arts World. The Heavenly Dao Laws slowly repaired themselves, yet in the process, they appeared to alter their ruling will. In future generations, it became exceedingly rare for legendary figures of the Emperor Realm to appear, regardless of the species, making it difficult for strong ones to emerge. Even if a figure at the Emperor Realm emerged, only one Emperor could exist at a time, and only one Supreme Strong would receive acknowledgment from the Heavenly Dao Laws. This Emperor could rule the Martial Arts World for tens of thousands of years, ensuring that no second Emperor would emerge for several hundred thousand years afterward, preventing scenarios like those of the Mythical Era, where several powerful figures of the Emperor Realm struck together, overwhelming even the Heavenly Dao Laws.

”So, is it the Heavenly Dao Laws of this Martial Arts World that have blocked the path for all Supreme Strong to immortality?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”That’s one reason, but not entirely. It’s very likely that something went wrong in the Immortal Domain as well!” speculated the God Beating Bowl.

”The Heavenly Dao is not benevolent, and the Immortal Domain has problems too. It truly cuts off the living path for all living beings in the Martial Arts World!” Old Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

”I never thought this Black Tripod had such an extraordinary origin. But, holding this tripod, could one truly break open the Immortal Path and enter the Immortal Domain? Is it truly this powerful? Why don’t I feel it?” Ye Tianchen gazed at the Black Tripod in front of him. Although he sensed its extraordinariness, he felt that this Black Tripod, no matter how powerful, couldn’t possibly pierce the Immortal Domain. This seemed somewhat unscientific.

”Damn, are you doubting what I said again? I already explained the premise when I told you the tales. This story is something I heard; I haven’t witnessed it myself. Besides, if something descended from the Immortal Domain could be used by just anyone to pierce the Immortal Domain, wouldn’t that be too easy? Can any being in the Martial Arts World grab this tripod and achieve immortality? Do you think that’s possible?” the God Beating Bowl said testily, looking at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen frowned, realizing that this troublemaker indeed spoke truthfully. It was highly possible that the Black Tripod was extremely extraordinary, yet for so many years, no one had been able to comprehend its use. When this Black Tripod descended upon the Martial Arts World, word also spread that it required a future Supreme Strong. Without ascending to the Emperor Realm, using this tripod would be exceedingly challenging. Even if someone of an Emperor Realm emerged, it didn’t guarantee they’d have the fortune to obtain this tripod or thoroughly understand it. Otherwise, over the billions of years, some have gradually become Supreme Strong of the Emperor Realm. They couldn’t possibly have failed to search for the Black Tripod, yet no one has wielded this tripod to break into the Immortal Domain. This can only be explained in such a manner!

”I recall something. When our Taishi family’s ancestor acquired this Black Tripod, they also obtained a scroll from it, a formula for forging oneself...” Old Feng, recalling as he spoke.

”Wow, Old Feng, hurry, quickly find that scroll. It’s an immortal formula, it must be an immortal formula!” The God Beating Bowl rushed to Old Feng’s side, almost ready to knock him over with eagerness.

”Wait a moment, let me go back and look. I should be able to find it...”

Old Feng said as he walked into the house, and the God Beating Bowl was so excited he nearly shouted. Laughing slyly, he said to Ye Tianchen, ”I didn’t expect it, didn’t expect we’d have such a big find in Taishi Village, such an extraordinary opportunity that’s hard to encounter in a lifetime, yet we’ve stumbled upon it. Aren’t you going to thank me? It’s me who brought you good luck!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clearly, the God Beating Bowl’s unreliable words sent Ye Tianchen into giving it a three-hit combo on the head, hitting so hard that the troublemaker nearly cried out, yet it held back. With teary eyes, it excitedly approached the Black Tripod, hugging it like it was holding his dearest loved one, smirking lasciviously, and said, ”Oh, Tripod, I am the Stone, your beloved God-beating Stone. Wake up, talk to me, tell me how to use you. Let’s work together and return to the Immortal Domain, shall we?”

Watching the God Beating Bowl act this way, Ye Tianchen felt an urge to strangle the troublemaker dead. It was too disgusting, acting as if this Black Tripod were the wife of the God Beating Bowl, even uttering such revolting words.

”Troublemaker, stop clowning around. You could talk for a million years, and this tripod wouldn’t respond to you!” Ye Tianchen said testily.

”Heh, this is what you don’t understand, kid. This tripod fell from the Immortal Domain. Some Supreme Strong from the Immortal World likely sympathized with the living beings of the Lower Realm and let this tripod fall. Maybe it houses a spiritual sense that’s asleep and is just hard to awaken!” the God Beating Bowl said with a mischievous grin, full of certainty. (To be continued.
