Chapter 1136: Chapter 1092 Heaven Swallowing

The Yuan Clan, at one point, was a top Eighth Rank Race in the Return to Nothing Realm.

As the number of Eighth Rank Experts within the Yuan Clan grew continually, the desire to break through and become a Ninth Rank Supreme Race grew increasingly strong.

On the surface, the Yuan Clan dared not cross that line, for no race that did so had ever survived.

The most powerful among the Yuan Clan were at the late Eighth Stage; not even one had reached the peak of Eighth Stage, but in private, the Yuan Clan never gave up on the goal of becoming a Ninth Rank Supreme Race.

Since its inception in the Return to Nothing Realm, the Yuan Clan possessed a very special racial attribute: plundering.

This form of plundering was not the same as other races absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.

The vital energy of heaven and earth had no owner and could naturally be absorbed freely by any living creature. Plundering, however, was a forceful act, whereby even those belongings that were owned could be seized.

Initially, this racial attribute of the Yuan Clan was not strong, but as more and more powerful individuals emerged within the Yuan Clan, this attribute also developed and transformed increasingly stronger.

By the late stage, the Yuan Clan could directly plunder the talents of other races and use them for themselves.

It wasn’t just talents; the insights into martial arts could also be forcibly taken.

Even the essence, energy, spirit, and soul of other races’ beings were no exception; they said they would plunder, and so they did.

Such a characteristic allowed the Yuan Clan to grow extremely rapidly, and among those of the same rank, the Yuan Clan was also among the very top.

Of course, the plundering of the Yuan Clan was not without limits.

Among those of the same rank, it was very difficult to directly plunder another’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul. To plunder, they had to slay their adversaries and harvest from their spiritual essence, replenishing themselves in the process.

Even so, this racial attribute of the Yuan Clan still appeared to be extremely powerful.

When the Yuan Clan grew to the Eighth Stage and could advance no further, yet their hearts still desired to become a Ninth Rank Supreme Race, the Yuan Clan began casting a Supreme Treasure for their race.

The Heavenly Origin Tripod!

This was the Supreme Treasure that the Yuan Clan desired to create, pooling the power of the entire clan to suppress the destiny of the entire Yuan Clan.

According to the Yuan Clan’s plan, this Heavenly Origin Tripod would devour all things under heaven and earth and nurture the power within it so that, when needed, the clan’s Eighth Rank Experts could use it to directly break through to the Ninth Rank.

With a Ninth Rank Supreme Expert, the Yuan Clan would then have some power to negotiate with other Supreme Races, avoiding being easily obliterated.

But unfortunately, after the Yuan Clan used the power of the entire clan to complete the forging of the Heavenly Origin Tripod, divine punishment arrived.

The so-called divine punishment was the action taken by the Ninth Rank Supreme against the entire Yuan Clan.

“Divine punishment…”

Chen Fei’s gaze was thoughtful, because this reminded him of the Yuan Clan.

Both were powerful Eighth Rank Races, both were obliterated by Ninth Rank Supreme Races; the difference seemed to be that the Yuan Clan appeared even stronger in battle strength.

But in the end, the Yuan Clan also could not escape the fate of being annihilated.

Those races trying to become Ninth Rank Supreme all seemed to have one thing in common, namely, their racial attributes were inherently very strong.

Chen Fei naturally thought of the human race.

It really was rather ordinary, or rather, it had virtually no special characteristic to speak of.

That is, practicing various martial arts seemed feasible for all, unlike some races in the Black Stone Domain, which could only cultivate a specific type of martial arts.

A Ninth Rank Supreme Race, definitely a far cry from the human race, especially since to date the human race hadn’t even achieved a single practitioner at the Seventh Tier Open Heaven Realm.

Even now, trapped within the Black Stone Domain, it remained uncertain if they could safely avoid this catastrophe.

From You Yi’s memory fragments, Chen Fei finally understood what that gray pillar of light and the sudden appearance of the Sealing Heaven Finger was all about.

That Sealing Heaven Finger must have been the work of a powerful expert above the Eighth Rank; whether it was a Ninth Rank expert Chen Fei did not know, since this realm far exceeded Chen Fei’s grasp.

But the Yuan Clan had long since disintegrated; it was estimated that a Ninth Rank Supreme expert’s personal involvement was not needed.

The Black Stone Domain was a contingency left behind by the Yuan Clan.

The Yuan Clan forged the Heavenly Origin Tripod, hoping to break through to the Ninth Rank Supreme, but the Yuan Clan also prepared for failure, thus leaving a safety net in the Black Stone Domain as a possibility for reigniting the future spark.

In the middle area between the Black Stone Domain and Despair City, the Yuan Clan carved out a special space, leaving a part of the Yuan Clan within this space.

Due to the influence of the energy from Despair City, this space was hard to detect.

The subsequent events consisted of the Yuan Clan being obliterated, and this space below the Black Stone Domain was also permanently sealed by the Yuan Clan themselves, fearing discovery by the Ninth Rank Supreme Races.

Time passed for hundreds of thousands of years, and legends about the Yuan Clan were only circulated among those races above the Seventh Tier; as for races below the Seventh Tier, they had never even heard of the Yuan Clan.

As for the races within the Black Stone Domain, there were not the slightest records of the so-called Yuan Clan.

In You Yi’s memory fragments, however, the records concerning this matter were quite detailed.

Including the Ancient Hug Tribe, they were actually all descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan.

Back then, the Swallowing Origin Clan, in order not to let their descendants forget the events of the past, specifically recorded these events completely in the space beneath the Black Stone Domain.

From generation to generation, they should not forget their racial origin, otherwise, the Swallowing Origin Clan might really vanish into the rivers of history.

But at that time, the Swallowing Origin Clan miscalculated one thing, which was the impact of time on the space below the Black Stone Domain.

To keep it more hidden and not be discovered by those ninth-tier Supreme races, this space was very close to Strange Heart Realm.

The consequence of doing this was that the Swallowing Origin Space was constantly affected by the power of Strange Heart Realm every moment.

If the time was not long, the problem would actually be minor, but stretching it to hundreds of thousands of years, various eerie changes occurred within the Swallowing Origin Space.

Various diseases appeared within the Swallowing Origin Space, followed by mutations.

With the appearance of the first Black Demon, turmoil began in the Swallowing Origin Space, and the vital energy of heaven and earth within the Swallowing Origin Space underwent irreversible inversion.

It’s hard to say clearly if You Yi and these creatures still count as Swallowing Origin Clan, because influenced by the power of Strange Heart Realm, at that time, none of the creatures within the Swallowing Origin Space were unscathed.

To survive, to combat the Black Demon, when the vital energy of heaven and earth became difficult to absorb, various cultivation methods appeared, including the Faith Method.

All cultivation methods were to make themselves stronger.

The initial appearance of the Faith Method was naturally to make up for the insufficiency of vital energy of heaven and earth, and later it was found that the Power of Faith was extremely effective in annihilating the Black Demon.

Over time, practicing the Faith Method in the Swallowing Origin Space became a mainstream, and relying on the Faith Method, the resistance against the Black Demon in the Swallowing Origin Space entered a prolonged stalemate.

The living environment in the Swallowing Origin Space was too oppressive, all the creatures living inside it couldn’t wait to escape from there.

If they didn’t know there was a new world outside, they might continue to bear, but knowing there was a better living environment outside, what was the meaning of continuing to hide in the Swallowing Origin Space?

Remember their identity as the Swallowing Origin Clan, and then seek revenge against the ninth-tier Supreme races?

Maybe in the beginning, the Swallowing Origin Clan within the space still held this belief.

But as time passed, hundreds of thousands of years later, in the Swallowing Origin Space, no creature had this goal anymore; they only wanted to live better.

Therefore, the creatures in the Swallowing Origin Space began to try moving the entire Swallowing Origin Space or breaking the barrier to directly escape from there.

Day after day, year after year.

Some lucky descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan really managed to escape from the Swallowing Origin Space by coincidence; whether they lived or died afterward, no one knew, but at least, it was a good trend.

“Black Divine?”

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the Black Divine from The Endless Sea, could it be that he had just escaped from the Swallowing Origin Space, and accidentally entered the plane of The Endless Sea in the chaos of spatial currents?

Could it be that to escape, the Black Divine was severely injured and on the brink of death, and ultimately chose to heal within The Endless Sea?

This might be the closest reason for why the Black Divine had come to The Endless Sea; after all, from the various abilities that the Black Divine displayed, they were extremely similar to the descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan.

Inside the Swallowing Origin Space, the efforts of the descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan seemed to have truly reached a critical value, thus Soul-devouring Worms were attracted to the Black Stone Domain.

As the Soul-devouring Worms located the position of the Swallowing Origin Space and pulled it out, a gray pillar of light shot up into the sky.

That gray pillar of light was the vital energy of heaven and earth from inside the Swallowing Origin Space, after so many years of aberration.

Then the Sealing Heaven Finger descended from the sky, the Swallowing Origin Space was opened, and the descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan along with the Black Demons, all appeared in the Black Stone Domain.

The Swallowing Origin Clan in their heyday definitely left a contingency within the Swallowing Origin Space.

The appearance of the Sealing Heaven Finger was to sense the aura of the Swallowing Origin Clan and to concurrently erase this leftover contingency of the Swallowing Origin Clan.

As for the creatures inside the Swallowing Origin Space, which didn’t count as true Swallowing Origin Clan anymore, and those Black Demons, they were not even a consideration for the master of the Sealing Heaven Finger.

If in a bad mood, they were summarily erased; if in a reasonable mood, they were left unchecked.

The Swallowing Origin Clan in their glory days could be suppressed at will, so how could these descendants, completely mutated due to the infiltration of Strange Heart Realm, be seen in his eyes.

In the eyes of such powerful beings, all of this was merely ants.

The sealing of the entire Black Stone Domain was done effortlessly to prevent energy from the Strange Heart Realm from having too much impact on the Return to Nothing Realm.

All the creatures within the Black Stone Domain had truly suffered a calamity without cause.

It had nothing to do with the creatures of the Black Stone Domain originally, but because the Swallowing Origin Space was located below the Black Stone Domain and emerged now, they were also dragged into this mire.

Now inside the Black Stone Domain, the vital energy of heaven and earth would be thoroughly polluted like the initial Swallowing Origin Space, and when it would recover, nobody knew.

Under such an environment, the Black Demons would exhibit extreme aggressiveness, attacking and devouring any living creature.

Among the Black Demons, there were very strong beings, with battle strengths reaching the Open Heaven Realm, and many Black Demons were actually descendants of the Swallowing Origin Clan who had mutated later on.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows tightly and began reading the Faith Method in You Yi’s memories.
