Suddenly, Tan Yun felt the blood within his body surge out of the wound, being devoured by the groove.
“Buzz—”
As the energy surged, he could sense a powerful force awakening within the Seven-Colored Divine Gate, responding to his blood sacrifice.
The colorful radiant light began to envelop him, and he felt a connection forming between his divine soul and the artifact spirit of the gate.
With a determined expression, Tan Yun focused his divine consciousness, channeling all his strength into the sacrificial process.
The light barrier around him intensified, creating a dazzling spectacle as the blood continued to flow, nourishing the ancient artifact.
As the sacrifice reached a critical point, the Seven-Colored Divine Gate resonated with his energy, pulsating with life and power.
In that moment, Tan Yun knew he was forging a bond with the gate that would grant him unimaginable strength and access to the secrets of the Divine Race.
His heart raced as he envisioned the potential that lay before him, the divine artifact awakening to respond to his aspirations.
The light barrier flickered, and he could feel the presence of the ancestors, guiding him in this pivotal moment of his journey.
“Now, let the path to power unfold!” he declared, as the celestial energies surged around him.
With each heartbeat, the connection grew stronger, and Tan Yun prepared to embrace the challenges that lay ahead, ready to confront the deep blood feud that awaited him.
“Buzz—”
After a while, the Seven-Colored Divine Gate began to tremble, and soon the twisting and winding patterns on the divine gate seemed to come alive, slowly writhing.
Tan Yun retreated thousands of feet into the air, standing in the colorful radiant light, eagerly staring at the trembling Seven-Colored Divine Gate.
As time passed, the sealed Seven-Colored Divine Gate, which had been closed for countless years, gradually opened with a deafening sound.
At this moment, the one more anxious than Tan Yun was, of course, Yu Yunxi.
She was well aware that if Tan Yun could not obtain the techniques of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race, she would surely end her life on the eve of her marriage to Qi Kong.
After a few breaths, the Seven-Colored Divine Gate fully opened.
Thinking of the death of her ancestors, Tan Yun took heavy steps towards the Seven-Colored Divine Gate, and what came into view was a tombstone.
Indeed, inside the Seven-Colored Divine Gate, there was only a tombstone towering one hundred thousand feet high.
The tombstone was engraved with a dense array of characters from the Immortal Ancient Divine Race.
In the center of the tombstone were the six words “Tomb of the Eternal Dao Emperor.”
“Tan Yun, this tomb belongs to the patriarch of your Immortal Ancient Divine Race!” Yu Yunxi exclaimed in shock, “The Eternal Dao Emperor was once the number one powerhouse of the supreme ancestor realm!”
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded sadly, and as he did, the space rippled like water, causing Tan Yun’s figure to expand to thirty thousand feet tall.
Tan Yun gazed up at the tombstone and began to read.
When he saw the first line of words, his whole body shook.
The first line read, “Child, you have finally returned from the Lower Universe.”
“I’m sorry; by the time you see this tombstone, your father is already dead. I wanted to wait for you to return to the supreme ancestor realm, to come here and find me, but I really can’t hold on anymore.”
“Child, my good child, I’m sorry for selfishly leaving you. The burden of avenging the Immortal Ancient Divine Race has fallen upon your shoulders.”
“Tian'er, since you have returned to the supreme ancestor realm, you should remember what happened in the past.”
“When I was gravely injured, I was chased by the Northern Sovereign Emperor, Eastern Continent Great Emperor, Southern Emperor, and the sovereign of the Elysium Sect, carrying you, who was on the brink of death. In desperation, I opened the barrier of the supreme ancestor realm and sent you into the Lower Universe.”
