All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

157: Chapter 156 The Four Realms of Supreme PowerIn the darkness.

The two stood beside the sinkhole.

A dense force of death permeated the entire sinkhole.

Within this sinkhole, which was like an abyss, it seemed that the most terrifying monsters were hidden.

They stood silently for a long time.

Ye Xiu spoke: ”Can you tell me why Gu failed?”

”I do not know. Gu was the strongest in those days; the Realm he achieved is likely something no one can reach even now.”

”Not even the Supreme Position?”

He was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, as the founder of the Heaven and Earth Law, Gu’s strength should be unquestionable.

But shouldn’t the nine [Supreme Position]s be the limit of the Supreme Realm?

Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, Fa smiled, not offering much explanation.

He only said indifferently: ”Gu’s achievements are not something the [Supreme Position] can attain. He was the existence closest to the [Taboo Emperor] and the only preacher to survive from the Chaos era.”

”The Chaos era?”

”Yes, the era of only the Chaos World. In that era, there was no Main World yet.”

”That is to say, Gu and the person who created the Main World were from the same era?”

A trace of disbelief flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes.

Donghuang’s father actually had such an origin; no wonder Donghuang dared to call himself Heaven.

With such an origin.

He indeed had the capital to head to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

”I do not know. Gu was extremely mysterious. In this world, perhaps only Donghuang might know some information.” Fa looked into the depths of the Return to Ruins, not knowing what he was thinking.

”Is Gu dead?”

”I do not know. Since Gu annexed the Main World, he completely disappeared.”

”Then how do you know he failed?” Ye Xiu frowned slightly, voicing his doubt.

”The Heavenly Dao, which had originally been extinguished, revived again. The extremely powerful Tian Clan, with ten Supreme Realm members, lost nine of them, leaving only Donghuang.”

Fa seemed to be thinking of those years.

His tone was filled with a sense of lament.

”Has Gu never appeared since then?”

”No. Since then, no one has dared to consume the Main World.”

”Since consuming the Main World is so dangerous, why is it forbidden by everyone?”

”Back then, Gu had actually succeeded. With the blessing of the Main World, Gu’s strength was inconceivable. Even with the nine [Supreme Position]s joining forces, they were all killed by him.”

”...That fierce?”

A trace of shock flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes.

Killing nine [Supreme Position]s.

That is to say, Gu back then had not achieved the [Supreme Position].

Such a battle record.

It was likely that he had already begun to approach the Realm of the [Taboo Emperor].

”Therefore, no one wishes for the Main World to be consumed by anyone again. This is a consensus. As long as a Cultivator dares to attempt it, they will be attacked by everyone.”

Listening to Fa’s explanation.

Ye Xiu nodded, finally understanding why consuming the Main World was blocked.

The crime of being too powerful.

After consuming the Main World, the combat power bonus was too terrifying.

Nine [Supreme Position]s were all killed.

Who would not fear such combat power?

The two were silent for a few seconds.

Fa spoke again with some emotion: ”Gu’s matter can actually be understood. You have not experienced that era and do not know the bitterness of seeking the Dao back then.”

”How so?”

”In order to test out the Heaven and Earth Law, our predecessors actually made many attempts. In these bold attempts, too many Prodigies remained in that era forever because of incorrect Cultivation methods...”

After Fa spoke.

He did not intend to stop.

He said a lot.

For example, back then, there was a Prodigy who achieved immortality at the age of one hundred, but died and dissipated because of experimenting with the extreme of the Dao.

Another example was a Dao Lord capable of slaying immortals who, in order to completely strip away the Great Dao of the Main World, instantly shattered and was directly erased by the Heavenly Dao.

The legends of one Prodigy after another, and the events of one death after another, were all for the sake of being able to walk a correct path.

Those Prodigies who were extinguished in the experiments should have been the Pride of the World throughout history, living in symbiosis with the world.

Unfortunately, in order to create a correct path for future generations, these originally extremely brilliant Cultivators died on the road of creating the Dao.

Ye Xiu looked at Fa, who was speaking with great emotion.
