The liver is a late bloomer!

A gigantic hand from the heavens slammed down on the myriad rivers.

In an instant, the projection of the Zhou Tian Star Realm Array descended upon the sky above the myriad rivers.

The Zhou Tian Star Realm Grand Array encircled all the surrounding myriad rivers, including the projections of many Saint Venerables who were watching the show from the sidelines.

Seeing that the outcome was already decided, Xu Chen, who was on the path of greatness, sighed inwardly at the lack of interest and then activated the Time Crystal using his secret method.

A phantom scene appeared before Xu Chen's eyes. In this scene, Grand Venerable Xu Chen was fishing in the sea with Xu Qiangjia. After sensing the aura of Grand Luo Realm Xu Chen, without turning his head, he activated a Grand Venerable power, which, with the blessing of the power of time, entered Xu Chen's body.

In an instant, a wisp of the power of the Great Dao spread out from Xu Chen's body.

The choice at the crossroads of the thirty-six roads can lead to the end in an instant.

Beneath the myriad rivers, thirteen rays of light suddenly surged forth and shone upon Xu Chen.

The thirteen Great Daos that Xu Chen had comprehended began to undergo ultimate sublimation. In less than a moment, a vast and boundless power of a Great Venerable erupted from Xu Chen's body.

Xu Chen's path to the Great Dao transformed into a long dragon and merged into his body.

Xu Chen's true form stood atop the myriad rivers of water, his aura rising steadily, causing the surrounding Saint Venerable projections watching the battle to be secretly alarmed.

"Gentlemen, if we don't act now, we may never have another chance!"

The strongest Saint Venerable Realm projection of the Spirit Race had been grabbed by the woman in the white dress and shouted out, activating all of its own essence in front of her.

The Holy Venerable's projection, who was watching the battle, had an uncertain gaze and exchanged glances in secret, but they could not reach a consensus.

Over the past few million years, the human race has grown to become one of the most powerful races, and most races with only two or three Saint Venerables dare not provoke them.

"Everyone, think carefully before you act. Our human race is considered a benevolent race in this realm of myriad races, but we will certainly exterminate any hostile races." The Human Emperor's calm voice rang out on the battlefield.

Some of the holy beings' projections, who were about to make a move, suppressed their restless hearts.

As long as the two holy lands and the top clans guarding the holy lands don't make a move, these few holy venerables of the human race are definitely considered strong.

It appears that the human race consists of seven Holy Venerables plus the incarnation of human destiny, fighting against more than ten Holy Venerable projections. However, the combat power they unleash is overwhelming, leaving their opponents breathless.

This is because all seven human holy beings' projections were burning their origins, and at the maximum extent possible.

If they did that, the projection would probably dissipate on its own halfway through.

The battle lasted for an hour, during which Xu Chen restrained the urge to intervene and watched the fight.

After the battle, the projections of the Holy Sovereigns of the three races were all destroyed, and their Holy Sovereign bodies lost at least 2-3% of their essence.

"Good lad, you've only just advanced to the Great Venerable level, yet your aura is already no less than mine." Xuan Ding Saint Venerable sensed Xu Chen's aura and felt that his throne as the number one warrior of the human race was about to be relinquished today.

"Senior, I have just advanced to the Great Venerable level and am not yet familiar with my own combat strength."

"After I have a period of time to consolidate my cultivation, I will seek out seniors for further sparring and hope that they will offer me some guidance."

Xu Chen sensed his own combat power and felt as if he had stepped into a new dimension, vaguely as if he had touched something.

"Don't challenge me to a duel. Even when you were at the Great Luo Realm, I couldn't do anything to you, let alone at the Great Venerable Realm."

"Give me some face, considering I once protected you," Xuan Ding Saint Venerable said with a wry smile.

"In that case, I'll go find other Holy Venerables to practice with."

As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, he was pushed out of the real River of Myriad Paths by a force of myriad paths.

At this moment, the Human Emperor, standing above the Myriad Rivers of Heaven, looked at the projections of the many great clans' holy venerables trapped within the Zhou Tian Star Realm Formation.

"Thank you all for not intervening."

As the Zhou Tian Star Realm array dissipated, the figure of the woman in the white dress also vanished.

"We came here to observe, and had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the nobles."

After a powerful clan's holy venerable figure finished speaking, his form vanished above the myriad rivers of water.

Seeing this, the other powerful clans' holy venerables also began to withdraw.

Within the human race's main sea territory, Xu Chen stepped out of the void, exuding the unique aura of a Great Venerable Realm expert.

At this moment, seven Saint Venerable Realm experts, exuding terrifying auras, also descended upon the Star Sea Domain.

"Xu Chen, you have advanced to the Great Venerable Realm in less than 300 million years. You are the most heaven-defying genius in the long history of our human race."

"Our human race is proud of you!" The Human Emperor looked at Xu Chen with a gratified gaze.

"Without the support of my clan, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"I will surely inherit the grand ambition of the nine generations of human emperors and unify all races in the main realm!" Xu Chen said solemnly.

"Actually, this grand ambition is no longer important, because with you here, our human race will inevitably reach this point!"

"Don't resist, I'll take you somewhere."

A spatial force emerged from around Xu Chen.

Then, Xu Chen appeared in a mysterious world.

In this world, there are eight powerful human beings encased in crystal.

Xu Chen observed that his appearance matched that of the previous eight human emperors.

The emperors of all ages, sealed within the crystal, seemed frozen in time, their faces serene, as if entrusting something to something.

Standing before these eight crystal seals, Xu Chen gazed at them for a long time, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Hey~"

This sigh seemed to express all the unspoken words in Xu Chen's heart.

With his current perspective, he understood the plans of the various human emperors throughout the long history of humanity, based on the array formations and sealed crystals of this world.

Xu Chen silently walked to the crystal of the first human emperor, and three long incense sticks formed from the power of origin appeared in his hand.

The incense was lit, and Xu Chen bowed three times while holding the incense, then planted the spear in the air.

Xu Chen then offered sacrifices to each of the seven subsequent emperors.

"Did you know that after the first Human Emperor proposed this plan, he expected to complete his grand scheme during the reign of the 16th or 36th Human Emperor?" The Human Emperor's figure appeared not far away.

"Didn't these seven emperors raise any objections to this plan?" Xu Chen placed three long incense sticks in the void in front of the last emperor, the ninth emperor.

"Which human emperor has not shone brightly in the long river of human history? But the great clans of the main world, as well as the holy lands of that time, made the previous human emperors more and more desperate as they tried to maintain human society. In the end, they would all join this plan."

"Using the body, cause and effect, soul, and true spirit as fuel, all for that last sliver of possibility!" The Emperor's tone was also somewhat moved.

"Even without you, after my term, there would still be one more crystal here!"

The Emperor spoke casually, waved his hand to release a tea table, and then personally brewed tea.

"Whenever I have free time or am feeling restless, I come here to talk to them about the recent situation of the human race."

"Of the nearly 2 million years I've spent talking to them, 50% of it has been about you."

"Although they can't hear, they have witnessed your growth in the unseen world."

The Emperor invited Xu Chen to sit down and poured him a cup of tea that he had just brewed.

"At your rate of growth, once you reach the Saint Venerable level, after cultivating for a period of time, you can come here to receive the nourishment of the Great Dao of Humanity and the origin of the Nine Human Emperors, thereby advancing to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm!"

"With your combat strength, those two holy lands are nothing more than things beneath your feet."

Xu Chen smiled and spoke casually, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

"No need~" Xu Chen shook his head firmly.

"You use~"

"The human race has accumulated the Great Dao of Humanity for so many years, and the eight Human Emperors perished here, using their origins to solidify the Great Dao of Humanity. What was the purpose of all this!"

"I've been waiting for you!" The Emperor exclaimed, somewhat excited.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for this. I will still reach the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, and I am even confident that I can reach the realms above Saint Venerable!"

"It's not necessary to consume the human race's accumulated strength over countless billions of years to forcibly advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable realm!" The Human Emperor's words moved Xu Chen somewhat, but he knew he could never accept the human race's accumulated strength over the years.

"Very well, you're not even 300 million years old yet. You haven't experienced the feeling of the limitations of the Dao and the ruthlessness of the Great Dao."

"The path from Great Venerable to Saint Venerable is long, so walk on, and the human race will always stand behind you."

The Emperor picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Once I advance to the Great Dao, there will still be a chance for you Human Emperors to be resurrected!"

"If I really accept all of this, then all of this will be gone."

Xu Chen crushed a time crystal the size of a grain of rice in his hand.

Then, chaos and cause and effect intertwined in Xu Chen's eyes, and this power, empowered by the power of time, traversed the entire river of human history.

"The Great Dao is too far away." The Human Emperor shook his head slightly; these were not things he dared to aspire to.

But that day will come eventually!

"The human race awaits you!"

"Good~"

When Xu Chen returned to the Great Stream Sect's main world, the entire Great Stream Sect and all its worlds were in an uproar.

"Junior brother~"

After Xu Chen appeared, Yang Wanshan grabbed Xu Chen's hand.

"Senior brother, there's no need to get so excited. It's just the Great Venerable Realm." Xu Chen said gently.

"Junior Brother's Great Venerable Realm is definitely comparable to the Saint Venerable Realm!"

"Junior Brother has advanced to the Great Venerable Realm; the future of our sect is promising!"

At this moment, the entire Daxi Sect was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the projection of the ten thousand long rivers in the sky cast down one after another of rosy clouds and spiritual flowers.

Xu Chen, a Grand Venerable Realm cultivator, looked at the projection of the myriad rivers in the sky and had a thought.

The entire projection of the Myriad Rivers began to extend, eventually spreading throughout this Great Venerable World.

Finally, Xu Chen formed hand seals once more, and a massive Dream Dao Realm appeared in the sky above the entire Great Venerable World.

Xu Chen waved his hand, and the treasures he had accumulated over the years transformed into a torrent that flew into the Dream World.

"I still need to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation, but I cannot fail to congratulate you on advancing to the Great Venerable realm."

"This Dream Dao Treasure Realm is open to all disciples of the Great Stream Sect. The highest prize is a Primordial Spiritual Treasure," Xu Chen said.

“Then let’s take another batch from the Great Stream Sect’s treasury and put it into the Dream Dao Treasure Realm, so that all the disciples of the sect can have a good time.” Yang Wanshan followed suit.

"That's great! On such celebratory and joyous occasions, we should be giving out perks; everything else is just fluff."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he stepped back into the floating island cave.

"Congratulations, my husband, on advancing to the Great Venerable Realm!" Su Yueyao looked at Xu Chen happily.

"Easy peasy!"

"I'll go into seclusion for a while and then come out to be with you."

After finishing his speech, Xu Chen returned to his secluded cave.

Inside the Holy White Space, Xu Chen looked at the scene, which seemed no different from usual, and scratched his head.

"Is this the limit?" Xu Chen sighed as he looked at the gates of those supernatural powers, and his mind instantly withdrew from the Holy White Space and returned to his physical body.

"First, stabilize your cultivation. After you get out and finish your errands, go and look for your senior sister's whereabouts."

Xu Chen calmed his mind and focused his energy, digesting the myriad insights he gained after advancing to the Great Venerable Realm.

Thousands of years pass by in an instant.

The moment Xu Chen emerged from seclusion, he suddenly received a message from Yin and Yang.

"Interesting." Xu Chen felt the invitation within the cause and effect, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

As soon as Xu Chen emerged from seclusion, he received invitations from both the Misty Holy Land and the Primordial Holy Land, directly from the two Holy Lords.

"I should go and see him—and some things need to be clarified!"

Xu Chen extended a finger, slicing through the void without alerting anyone, including the Myriad Races Main Realm.

As soon as Xu Chen arrived outside the Primordial Holy Land, a spatial gate appeared in front of him, and he confidently stepped into it.

Upon entering, one discovers a secluded paradise filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

In the center of that secret realm, a young man and an old man were playing chess.

Xu Chen entered without disturbing the game between the two players.

Without disturbing them, Xu Chen simply watched from the side.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man and the old man finished their game of chess and looked at Xu Chen.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come after our invitation!" the old man said to Xu Chen expressionlessly.

"Of course I dare to come when the Holy Lord invites me." Xu Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand to arrange the chessboard.

"I need a disciple to serve me, so you can stay by my side." The old man wasn't angry when he saw Xu Chen tidying up the chessboard.

"I cannot comply," Xu Chen said earnestly.

"Interesting. I gave you a chance to survive, and you didn't even want it~" The young man looked at Xu Chen with great interest, his gaze like that of someone sizing up a lamb to the slaughter.

"Because there is an unknown being waiting for this junior, I must admit that I cannot comply!" Xu Chen looked at the two Holy Lords with unwavering eyes.

"An unknown being, how dare you speak to me in such a tone? Could it be that you have a powerful figure standing behind you on the Great Dao?"

"Whether it's true or not, senior can examine my cause and effect~"

Xu Chen had an expression that said, "I have a very powerful background."

"little tricks!"

The old man waved his hand gently, and Xu Chen felt his own karma being disturbed.

The Myriad Rivers of Dao, exclusively belonging to Xu Chen, appeared before the old man. Just as the old man was about to use his divine sense to explore it, he was suddenly swept by a terrifying aura.

The old man's expression froze, and his body seemed to be turned to dust by time.

After the powder dissipated into the void, it condensed again and transformed into an old man.

But the mark left by that terrifying aura on his body had not yet dissipated.

The old man could only erase the mark of this great fear by repeatedly annihilating himself.

His form only stabilized after it had reformed eighty-one levels.

"you!"

"Go!" The old man's face showed fear.

"Then this junior will take his leave~" Xu Chen smiled and broke through the space to leave.

Xu Chen had arrived at the Misty Holy Land and was immediately drawn into a secret realm by a spatial force.

The Lord of the Mist was a handsome man dressed in a black and gold robe, with a somewhat lazy air about him.

At this moment, he was curiously looking Xu Chen up and down.

"You just came back from the Primordial Holy Land?"

"Yes~" (End of Chapter)
