Regret, endless regret.
At this moment, Ji Tianyao was overwhelmed by fear. If he had known that the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was already a supreme warrior, the Ji family wouldn't have needed to stir up so much trouble.
However, after seeing that the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable did not strike him down, hope surged within Ji Tianyao's heart. Perhaps, there was still a chance for the Ji family to reconcile with Tian Gong. Otherwise, why would the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable only kill the Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord, yet not harm the Ji family?
With this thought, Ji Tianyao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, cupping his hands, and said, “Divine Artisan Hall Master…”
Just as he opened his mouth, not far away, Xiao Wujin from the Xiao Clan also narrowed his eyes and hurriedly approached, about to speak.
Suddenly.
Boom!
In the Ancient Realm, a terrifying aura rose up. From a distance, in another part of this realm, a pitch-black, deep, ocean-like presence swept over.
This overwhelming aura caused many strong individuals present to feel a strong sense of intimidation, and fear gripped their very souls.
A supreme.
Another supreme.
“Hahaha! I wonder which friend has come to my Ancient Realm as a guest. As the host, I truly apologize for my lack of a proper welcome,” a loud, boisterous laugh echoed. Accompanying this laughter, a magnificent figure soared through the skies, taking a few steps to arrive from the endless horizon and stood in opposition to the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable in the sky.
“Ancestor!”
Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Wujin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Ancestor.” Many strong members of the Xiao Clan behind Xiao Wujin also knelt on one knee, their expressions filled with respect.
The newcomer was none other than the ancestor of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Wudao.
Upon seeing Xiao Wudao, the heads of the Ye and Jiang families, as well as Ji Tianyao, all changed their expressions slightly. The Xiao Clan was able to dominate this Ancient Realm precisely because of the existence of Xiao Wudao.
In fact, back when the Ji family and the Xiao Clan were vying for power, Xiao Wudao was not yet a supreme warrior, merely a half-step supreme, while the Ji family also had a half-step supreme warrior at that time.
The Ji family’s half-step supreme was not weaker than the Xiao family’s half-step supreme. Unfortunately, back then, the Ji family was divided into two factions, each consuming one another, lacking cohesion. This led to the Ji family’s half-step supreme being attacked by Xiao Clan warriors without the Ji family’s full force responding, ultimately resulting in severe damage to their foundation.
As a result, the Ji family completely lost the qualifications to contend for dominance in the Ancient Realm.
“So it’s Ancestor Xiao Wudao! I have long heard of the Xiao Clan’s Xiao Wudao, inheritor of the ancient chaos bloodline. In the battle for supremacy in the Ancient Realm, he achieved the status of supreme. Today, upon meeting, he truly lives up to his reputation,” the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable smiled as he looked at the newcomer and cupped his hands.
At this moment, Xiao Wujin had also drawn closer, knowing that the ancestor must have sensed the divine aura of the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, prompting him to emerge from seclusion. He quickly relayed the previous events to Ancestor Xiao Wudao through voice transmission.
“Hahaha! So it’s the Divine Artisan Hall Master of Tian Gong. I heard that the Divine Artisan Hall Master inherits from the ancient craftsman’s guild, as a closed-door disciple of the Craftsman Ancestor. Establishing Tian Gong, he is the backbone of our human race's power, contributing greatly to the Human Race Alliance’s fight against the Demon Tribe. Today, seeing him, he truly is a young talent, formidable indeed,” Xiao Wudao also cupped his hands, his expression calm.
Closed-door disciple of the Craftsman Ancestor, indeed.
