Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie concealed his identity and appearance. He didn't want to attract too much attention before the Martial Dao Mythology Exchange Conference.

Mu Ciyin, Chan'er, Jingya, Yan Qingcheng, Ling Qingyu, Lilia, Yue Chenyu, and others who came with him also changed their appearances and arrived on a sacred boat.

This sacred boat was extremely luxurious, covered with runes and flowing with brilliant light. There were more than a dozen levels on the deck, marked with the emblem of the Dawn Dynasty.

As the sacred boat entered the city, everyone looked over. They saw a young man with an extraordinary temperament but ordinary appearance walking out, followed by a group of women with outstanding temperaments but only fair looks, and they began to discuss.

Everyone was guessing who this group of people was.

Judging from the sacred boat, they were definitely from the Dawn Dynasty, but why had no one ever heard of such a group of young men and women in the Dawn Dynasty?

In the past few days, a large number of young powerhouses from the Dawn Dynasty had already arrived in this city, all flying here, without taking any means of transport.

In terms of ostentation, those geniuses of the Dawn Dynasty who came a few days ago were obviously not comparable to this group of people.

"I wonder if Lord Divine will come. I have been hearing about the deeds of Lord Divine all these years, but I have never seen him in person. I really want to see what kind of person he is."

"The world says that Lord Divine is a legendary figure who pioneered the way, calming the apocalyptic torrent in the Lower Realm, sheltering all living beings, and supporting a universe with his shoulders.

Such a person is truly fascinating."

"Lord Divine created a dynasty in this world. Judging from the dynasty's frantic expansion, he may also have the same ambition as in the Lower Realm.

If Lord Divine can truly unify the starry sky, that would definitely be a good thing.

The Lower Realm is prosperous and peaceful, the people are happy, born equal, and the laws are just. It is simply the world of dreams..."

"Those rumors about the Lower Realm cannot be false. Just look at the changes in the Dawn Dynasty over the years, and see how well they are managed and developed. To be born in the Dawn Dynasty is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes.

I really hope that Lord Divine can unify Canglan as soon as possible. Doesn't the Heavenly Dao Academy also support Lord Divine?

It's just that the Black Sun Dynasty suddenly appeared, blocking the steps of the Dawn Dynasty.

I wonder when Lord Divine will be able to defeat the Black Sun and turn our Canglan into a truly bright and clear world!"

"Hahaha! Only you people of Canglan would brag about that Dawn Divine Lord so much, and fantasize that his Dawn Dynasty can unify the starry sky. You are probably still not awake!"

"It's not that I'm trying to discourage you, but he can't even unify Canglan. He can't pass the Black Sun Dynasty. Instead, he will be defeated by the Black Sun Dynasty, and eventually the dynasty will be destroyed!"

"Bullshit, although the Black Sun Dynasty is powerful, we believe that it cannot stop the dynasty of Lord Divine!"

The people of Canglan retorted coldly.

"Ignorance is fearless. What do you little characters know? The Black Sun Dynasty has trillions of soldiers. How can the Dawn Dynasty, which is content with a corner, compare?

Perhaps we won't even have to wait for the Black Sun Dynasty to take action.

That amazing legend in your hearts will surely fall from the altar if he dares to come to the Martial Dao Mythology Exchange Conference this time.

His legend is all built on the basis of not encountering a real supreme powerhouse of the same generation.

After all, the Dawn Divine Lord you brag about came from a small place, a small pond like the Lower Realm, a backward and desolate place.

In this world, all the contemporaries he has encountered are cultivators from the Eastern Territory. The strongest are only the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters of the Overlord forces. They are really not worth mentioning, hahaha!"

A group of cultivators sat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, speaking loudly to the people discussing on the street below, their words and expressions filled with ridicule.

"Joke! Do you also want to compete with Lord Divine at the Martial Dao Mythology Exchange Conference?"

Many people on the street looked towards the window on the second floor, their eyes focused on the faces of several young men and women with mocking expressions.

"We didn't say it was ourselves. Although the Dawn Divine Lord is not as divine as you brag about, he can be regarded as a leader among his contemporaries, but if he wants to compete with the ceiling of his generation, to put it bluntly, isn't that just blatant provocation?"

A young man by the window said, looking at the men and women at the same table, laughing loudly: "Don't you think so, huh?"

"Hahaha, the word 'provocation' is well used, it's really too wonderful."

"Well, indeed, if the Dawn Divine Lord really discusses the Dao with the ceiling of his generation, he will inevitably be as fragile as porcelain, vulnerable to a single blow."

"Arrogant!"

Everyone on the street felt angry!

Lord Divine is now the most dazzling existence in Canglan. Regardless of his status or his position as a representative of the younger generation of cultivators, the world has tacitly regarded him as the ceiling of Canglan.

This time, at the Martial Dao Mythology Exchange Conference, the people of Canglan are looking forward to Lord Divine displaying his divine power and bringing glory to Canglan.

These people actually look down on Lord Divine so much, which is equivalent to belittling the entire Canglan!

"Which ancient star are you mouth cannons from, daring to speak so wildly!

Come on, let us hear who the so-called ceiling of your generation is!"

"Tsk tsk, look at you ignorant Canglan natives. Listen carefully, I am from the Dragon Hunting Ancient Star, the Dragon Hunting Holy Sect!

The ceiling of our generation is of course the number one young generation of our Holy Sect—the Dragon Hunting Saint Son!

Well, of course, there is not only one ceiling in the same generation. Besides our Saint Son, there is also the Saint Son of the Jitian Ancient Family from the Extreme Lightning Ancient Star—Ji Wuming!

The Dustless Saint Son and Dustless Saint Daughter of the Dustless Holy Sect from the Dustless Ancient Star! Can your Lord Divine block their Weak Water Dustless Art? Once the Weak Water Secret Art is released, it will turn everything it touches to dust, hahaha!

Hey, the Earth Saint Son of the Thick Earth Holy Sect from the Yellow Heaven Ancient Star, once the Yellow Heaven Thick Earth Art is released, even the shoulders of the Dawn Divine Lord that you brag about for supporting the universe of the Lower Realm will be crushed!"

"Humph! Bragging, I think you are the ones who are bragging! It is said that you used despicable means to win against that amazing genius of Canglan before.

What secret art, if it was as strong as you said, you wouldn't have had to use wheel battles and medicine so despicably back then."

Some people who knew about a secret from before the ages spoke slowly.

The smiles on the faces of those young men and women by the window froze, and the muscles on their faces twitched fiercely a few times.

A touch of gloom appeared in their eyes.

That incident was a black history about their ancient stars that had been sealed in the years, and it was very disgraceful.

For ages, no one has dared to mention it!

Unexpectedly, today, on the streets of this Heavenly Dao Holy City, an old man with a low cultivation base actually dared to reveal that past event.

"Old man, you dare to slander us! Making baseless accusations, you may lose your life!"

They warned coldly, and then sneered: "There are different accounts of what happened before the ages. How can you judge what the truth is!

If the younger generation of your Canglan Ancient Star really has the ability, then win the glory openly in the upcoming Martial Dao Mythology Exchange Conference!

I'm afraid that your young powerhouses don't have that ability and will be vulnerable to a single blow in front of the ceilings of our several major ancient stars!"

"What? Before the ages, they actually used wheel battles and medicine? There is such a thing, it's simply extremely despicable, a method that only hooligans would use!

You still have the face to brag about the ceiling of the same generation. I think it's the ceiling of despicableness and shamelessness, hahaha!"

Hearing the mocking voices from the street, the eyes of the group of people by the window were gloomy, and murderous intent rose.

...

Jun Wuxie and his party happened to pass by here and heard these voices.

He didn't pay attention to those people from outside the territory. They were just disciples of the more talented Eternal forces on those ancient stars, small fries.

What he was concerned about was the old man who mentioned the secret of the ages.

The old man was dressed plainly, with a thin figure and a wrinkled face. He squatted on the side of the street, puffing on a dry tobacco pipe. His gray hair was messy, like a chicken coop.

In front of the old man was a simple stall, filled with wood carvings.

They seemed to be made of very ordinary spiritual wood materials. The various gadgets carved were not good-looking. The knife work was very poor, crooked, and the appearance was very ugly.

Jun Wuxie noticed that among the endless stream of people, as long as they glanced at the old man's stall, they would almost all show expressions of disgust.

Even those with better qualities would pause when they saw the appearance of those wood carvings, and then stop paying attention.

Therefore, the old man's stall had no customers, but he didn't seem to care. He didn't yell at the passing pedestrians like other businessmen. He just sat on the side of the street, puffing on a dry tobacco pipe.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Seeing him looking at the old man on the street, Jingya couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

Except for Chan'er, the other women were puzzled, but they knew that there might be something wrong with the old man, otherwise her husband wouldn't pay attention like this.

"It's nothing. I just think these wood carvings are quite interesting. Let's go take a look."

Jun Wuxie finished speaking and walked towards the old man's stall, followed by the women.

Their actions were very conspicuous. After all, everyone was already guessing their identities and origins. Now that they saw them walking towards the unattended stall, they became even more curious.

The wood carving old man came to live in this city about ten years ago. He has been selling wood carvings, but no one has ever seen him sell a wood carving.

If he can't sell wood carvings, he naturally can't earn money, but since the wood carving old man is at least a cultivator in the Saint Realm, although his realm is very low, he won't starve. If it's just to fill his stomach, it's too easy.

In addition, he was dressed in rags, so no one paid attention to this inconspicuous old man.

Jun Wuxie came to the stall and picked up a wood carving at random to examine it.

The wood carving was really ugly, even a little eye-watering.

For example, the zodiac dog was carved, but the result was a dog's head and a pig's body. The carved hair was extremely rough, like the technique of a three-year-old child.

The old woodcarver was still puffing on his pipe, casting only a casual glance at them with his somewhat cloudy eyes, without saying a word.

Jun Wuxie looked at the wood carving in his hand, his gaze then falling upon the other zodiac carvings on the stall.

There was a complete set of twelve zodiac animals, all sharing a common trait: each was carved to be extremely ugly and crude.

These zodiac carvings, seemingly uninteresting, increasingly shocked Jun Wuxie as he examined them.

Every carved line on the twelve zodiac carvings, seemingly rough and crude, actually concealed extremely profound rune rules, containing a strong inner law.

These were not mere wood carvings, but clearly great killing weapons!

Not only for the people of this universe, but even in a universe like the Godly Ancient World, no one could withstand the energy released by these zodiac carvings.

This old man is a runemaster!

And not an ordinary runemaster; although his rune technique was not that of a Primordial Runemaster, it was definitely an extremely ancient rune art.

Within the twelve zodiac carvings, every rune contained vast runic energy.

If not for his powerful soul, extremely high vision, and partial memories from his previous life, along with his ultimate understanding of Primordial Runes, he would not have been able to see through the facade.

Of course, Chan'er beside him would certainly be able to see it; after all, she had initially recovered to the Emperor Realm, so such methods could not be concealed from her.

This old man is not simple; his realm is extremely high.

The zodiac carvings in front of him were merely flawed products he deliberately carved, but their power already surpassed the God Realm!

How could there be such a person in the Lower Realm, and one who is hidden in the city?

Such people generally only exist in special secret lands, or in the two great life-forbidden zones, Immortal Hidden Mountain or Nether Ruins.

"Old man, your zodiac carvings are quite interesting. How are they sold?"

Jun Wuxie gathered all twelve zodiac carvings in front of him, repeatedly observing them.

Besides the profound rune marks and the hidden vast runic energy, the zodiac carvings also seemed to have a trace of special, imperceptible aura.

This aura was extremely secretive; if he did not have all laws and paths in his heart, it would have been impossible for him to sense it with his current realm.

Even a being like Chan'er probably wouldn't notice it without careful examination.

"This is the method of a Universe Emperor powerhouse!"

Jun Wuxie was shocked; this old man was definitely not at the Universe Emperor level, he was sure of it, but how could there be the power of a Universe Emperor's Dao within his carved zodiac animals? It was truly strange.

"This old man's wood carvings are only sold to those with affinity. If the young master is the one with affinity, the entire set can be taken away for one hundred million low-grade Saint Spirit Pills."

What?

The people around who were paying attention to this were stunned, hardly believing their ears.

What did the old woodcarver say? Was he crazy, or was his brain broken?

One hundred million low-grade Saint Spirit Pills!

This was not just a lion's opening, but simply a whale's gulp!

One hundred million low-grade Saint Spirit Pills, even for a Great Saint Realm, would be an astronomical figure!

How much cultivation resources could so many Saint Spirit Pills buy?

These eye-stinging, crude wood carvings, which would make children cry, actually dared to ask for such a price. Was he really treating those few as fat sheep to slaughter?

Besides, would they even buy it?

"It seems that I am the one with affinity in the old man's words."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he took out a storage ring from his chest, reaching out and swiping at the storage ring on his finger. A massive amount of low-grade Saint Spirit Pills flew out like a long river, entering the storage ring he had taken out.

"Young master, how can you spend so many Saint Spirit Pills to buy these scraps! This old man is a swindler; no child wants these things. Don't be fooled!"

Many people were shocked; was he really going to buy them?

Thinking that they were from the Dawn Dynasty, and not wanting them to suffer a loss and waste such a massive amount of hard currency, they all came forward to dissuade him.

"It's hard to buy what the heart desires; this young master has taken a liking to them, so what's the harm in buying them?"

Jun Wuxie said to the crowd with a smile, then placed the storage ring containing one hundred million low-grade Saint Spirit Pills in front of the old woodcarver, "Do you need to count them?"

"No need, young master can just take these twelve zodiac animals."

The old man happily put away the storage ring, with an expression of having made a fortune. He puffed on his pipe faster, and began to pack up the other wood carvings on his stall, obviously planning to close up shop.

The people who saw this scene were all green with envy. That was one hundred million low-grade Saint Spirit Pills. If it weren't for being in this Heavenly Dao Holy City, they would have couldn't help but want to snatch them!

At the same time, they cursed Jun Wuxie a hundred times in their hearts, calling him a spendthrift. Even if he was rich and powerful, he shouldn't squander his wealth like this!

Which family's纨绔 of the Dawn Dynasty was this?

The people all shook their heads and sighed in grief. Any family that had such a spendthrift was really unlucky.

"Heh, the Dawn Dynasty only produces fools."

Just as Jun Wuxie was about to leave, a mocking voice came from the window on the second floor of the restaurant.

He stopped and turned to look at the window.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you guys, a bunch of…"

Before the extraterritorial youth could finish speaking, Jun Wuxie reached out and grabbed him from the void. A dragon's roar resounded here, with a clang.

The extraterritorial youth was instantly sucked out, and an energy hand wrapped around a great dragon tightly restrained him in the air, then slammed him to the ground.

With a loud bang!

The entire street and the buildings on both sides shook three times. The solid ground, shining with faint rune light, slightly caved in, revealing a half-foot deep human-shaped mark.

The extraterritorial youth lay on the ground, convulsing, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, unable to move. His bones were broken, his tendons severed, and his internal organs shattered.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect this纨绔 to be quite strong. They thought he only knew how to squander wealth!

Seeing the arrogant extraterritorial youth being dealt with like this, the crowd felt great pleasure in their hearts. Seeing his embarrassed and miserable appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.

Several figures fell from the window on the second floor, checking the youth's physical condition, shocked and angry in their hearts.

He was so badly injured that his cave was covered with cracks. Although he wasn't leaking true energy, in this situation, it was basically impossible to repair it unless someone from his sect could use rare treasures.

However, his sect would definitely not pay such a price. The sect had too many disciples like him, not a seed-level figure.

They looked coldly at Jun Wuxie, the ordinary-looking but outstandingly graceful youth, who was accompanied by a group of female companions. They didn't expect him to have such strength, and had misjudged him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have provoked him.

Jun Wuxie ignored them, turned and left, gradually moving away and disappearing from everyone's sight.

If the Heavenly Dao Holy City hadn't prohibited killing, that extraterritorial youth would have died long ago.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of the rules set by the Heavenly Dao Academy, but he didn't want to embarrass the Heavenly Dao Academy.

After all, the rules had existed since ancient times, and everyone abided by them. If he broke such rules this time, the Heavenly Dao Academy would have difficulty explaining it to the world.

A noisy little minion, crippling him was enough. He didn't care whether he lived or died.

"Chan'er, secretly monitor that old man and see where he eventually goes.

He may not leave this city in a short time, but he will eventually leave."

Jun Wuxie communicated with Chan'er through divine sense.

"Jun-gege, where do you suspect he's from?"

Chan'er naturally knew that the person was not simple. He had a very special aura, which didn't seem to belong to this universe.

"A secret land, or a life-forbidden zone."

"Yes, that's very likely. The runic energy in the twelve zodiac animals can help Jun-gege quickly improve his rune realm. Of course, they can also be used as weapons. After activation, their power is not weak and can kill God Realm cultivators."

"Using them as weapons to kill enemies is too wasteful. Enemies can be killed in other ways; there's no need to use the twelve zodiac animals.

My Primordial Rune Path is only lacking the accumulation of rune energy now, so I naturally want to strip the rune energy from the zodiac animals to improve my rune realm.

But before that, I need to solve the hidden dormant power of the Universe Emperor's Dao hidden in the zodiac animals."

"What?" Chan'er revealed a look of surprise, "The zodiac animals contain the hidden power of a Universe Emperor's Dao? What exactly does that person want to do, what is his purpose!"

"Of course he has a purpose. How could he give me these powerful rune objects for nothing? The answer lies in the power of the Universe Emperor's Dao inside.

Whether he is friend or foe, we will soon find out."

After Jun Wuxie finished communicating with Chan'er through divine sense, he directly sent the twelve zodiac animals into the Eternal Divine Palace, communicating with Suzaku and asking her to see what secrets were hidden inside.
