Legend has it that it is the dojo where the ancient gods of the Celestial Void Realm once resided and cultivated.
Throughout history, no living being has dared to set foot there, making it a region steeped in legend and mystery.
Now that the Heavenly Dao Rankings have just concluded, no one knows what it means for them to emerge from the forbidden zone!
"It shouldn't be the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, but rather those ranked lower on the list..."
The ancestors of the three top clans stepped forward, gazing at the source of the aura with secret trepidation, but also a slight sigh of relief.
With their cultivation, they could naturally sense three extremely powerful auras entering from beyond the Central World. Although these three auras pressed down on the entire void of the Central World, they could still withstand them to some extent.
If an ancient god were to leave the forbidden zone and enter the Central World,
the masses would prostrate themselves and kneel on the ground. Even they would be unable to stand under the aura of an ancient god.
"The Hundred Clans of the Celestial Void Realm respectfully welcome the envoys of the Forbidden Zone."
The ancestors of the three clans, being the most powerful, now held the authority over the Hundred Clans, cupping their fists towards the three figures exuding the aura of half-step ancient gods.
"The Hundred Clans of the Celestial Void Realm, receive the decree of our Lord!"
Darkness enveloped the Central World as Zhang Wei's figure stood tall in the void, his eyes icy and piercing, like two terrifying beams of light, penetrating the entire Central World.
The ancestors of the three clans exchanged glances and bowed slightly, saying, "May we ask, Envoy, what decree has the Lord of the Forbidden Zone issued?"
"Why do you not kneel when receiving the decree?" From within the darkness, a vast expanse arose, as Ao Tian coiled in the void, gazing at the ancestors of the three clans, his voice resounding through the clouds, faintly distorting the firmament and shattering the void, shaking even the extraterrestrial stars until they threatened to fall.
"Do we have to kneel when receiving the decree?" The ancestors of the three clans' hearts skipped a beat.
Throughout history, this was the first time the Forbidden Zone had manifested before the Hundred Clans.
They really didn't know that one had to kneel when receiving a decree.
However, as the aura of the half-step ancient gods became increasingly terrifying, the ancestors of the three clans lowered their bodies and kowtowed respectfully.
Seeing that the three strongest ancestors had all bowed, the members of the Hundred Clans behind them also followed suit.
"Respect the decree of our Lord! The people of the Hundred Clans shall search the immeasurable space-time of the Celestial Void Realm for traces of the Xuan Emperor of the Human Race. Whichever clan finds him first, our Lord will grant them a promise!"
"This promise can be exchanged for the clan's eternal survival through epoch changes, or for the opportunity to attain the Dao of Rules!"
As Zhang Wei proclaimed the decree, his gaze fell upon the ancestors of the three clans.
Among the Hundred Clans of the Celestial Void Realm, only these three possessed the greatest strength, worthy of being called the leaders of the Hundred Clans. The search for the Xuan Emperor of the Human Race must begin with these three.
"A promise from an ancient god..." The ancestors of the three clans raised their eyebrows.
"Reporting to the Envoy of the Forbidden Zone, the Xuan Emperor of the Human Race has ascended to the top of the list. His strength is likely in the realm of ancient gods. We..."
"Our Lord has said that the strength of the Xuan Emperor of the Human Race has not yet reached the level of an ancient god. You may search with peace of mind." Above the darkness and the vast expanse, a sinister moon rose, its faintly red light illuminating the entire Central World, a scene of unparalleled horror.
"Not an ancient god..."
"This..."
The Hundred Clans were in an uproar. The Xuan Emperor of the Human Race had ascended to the top of the list, suppressing the three Lords of the Forbidden Zones. They had all assumed that he was an ancient god, but now, from the mouth of a powerhouse from the Forbidden Zone, they claimed that he was not.
This caused the Hundred Clans to exchange glances, feeling unable to comprehend.
"From now on, the three of us gods will be stationed in the Central World!"
"You may search as soon as possible. Our Lord's promise is only for one."
The three half-step ancient gods did not care how the Hundred Clans reacted, and said indifferently.
"Yes, the Hundred Clans receive the decree."
......
The Land of the Heavenly Dao's Source.
Xuan Ming's divine soul, combined with the boundless essence of the myriad Daos of the Emperor World, was constantly refining and fusing with the Heavenly Dao's Source.
And during Xuan Ming's refinement, treasures bestowed by the Heavenly Dao continuously hovered beside Xuan Ming.
Among them, several Primal Divine Stones even emanated a starlight-like radiance.
"I really didn't expect the Heavenly Dao to have such rewards." Xuan Ming sat cross-legged within the Heavenly Dao's Source, the aura around him almost merging with the Heavenly Dao.
Originally, with his current cultivation, he could only refine a portion of the Heavenly Dao for the time being. However, just when Xuan Ming was running out of strength, a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's Rule Source suddenly separated and fused with Xuan Ming's divine soul.
At this moment, Xuan Ming had already successfully refined one-thousandth of the Heavenly Dao's power.
The accumulation of the ancient Heavenly Dao, even just one-thousandth, caused the myriad Daos of Rules within Xuan Ming's body to leap to become a powerful existence at the half-step ancient god realm.
Of course, refining one-thousandth of the Heavenly Dao's power.
Cultivation was secondary.
The most crucial thing was that Xuan Ming now had the ability to intervene in and control the operation of one-thousandth of the Celestial Void Realm, manipulating the beings within it.
This was the most terrifying ability.
One must know that the Celestial Void Realm was a vast world of stars.
It inherently possessed immeasurable space-time, like a multi-dimensional world, not a single flat plane.
Sometimes, stepping into an unknown region might reveal orderly arranged continental clusters in the void.
After possessing this portion of the Heavenly Dao's Source, whoever became Xuan Ming's enemy would be equivalent to becoming the enemy of one-thousandth of the heavens and earth of the Celestial Void Realm!
"Hmm? Is the Heavenly Dao Divine Ranking about to return?" Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could sense that the violet-gold scroll hanging down in the Celestial Void Realm was beginning to slowly transform into heavenly secrets, returning to heaven and earth.
This meant that with its return, the Heavenly Dao would become complete and flawless.
And if his divine soul could not get out in time, he would only be trapped within the Heavenly Dao's Source, watching the rise and fall of the beings of the Celestial Void Realm.
"It seems that I can only wait for the next ranking to appear before entering this place again to refine the Heavenly Dao. However, having refined one-thousandth of the Heavenly Dao's Source this time, I can also somewhat influence the will of the Celestial Void Realm."
Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his divine thought stirred, and he left the void region of the Heavenly Dao's Source.
At the same time, he took away the three Ninth-Order Heavenly Divine Artifacts that were blocking the gap.
They were what Xuan Ming used to prop open a sliver of the Heavenly Dao's gap.
His entire body was almost crushed by the Heavenly Dao's Dao rhythm.
It was also because of this that they were not included in the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

Chapter 154: Advancing to the Half-Step Ancient God Realm, Immeasurable Space-Time, Summoning the Gods and Demons of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range
............
Xuan Imperial Palace.
Xuan Ming's divine soul returned to his physical body.
The entire Southern Continent, and even the Southern Heaven Demon Domain, were shaken violently.
The vast phantom of the Emperor World manifested above the entire Southern Heaven Demon Domain.
Xuan Ming leaped to become a half-step ancient god.
The Emperor World also closely followed and stepped into the Middle World.
The world expanded infinitely, evolving more space-time, delving deep into the void.
The beings within it underwent a significant evolution.
The myriad Daos Source Stars also began to initially display their power, with a vast and mighty source essence erupting. The mass of just one star was enough to crush a Ruin Realm and suppress a starfield.
"The location of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range seems to also be within the immeasurable space-time of the Celestial Void Realm." Xuan Ming's eyes shot out two beams of light, penetrating the entire Myriad Demon Mountain Range, seeing that the outside of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range was a void, and faintly frowned.
The so-called vast world of stars was a massive cluster of worlds.
Under the alternate laws of space-time, layers upon layers of space evolved.
Within these spaces, under the operation of the Heavenly Dao and the reincarnation of energy, void worlds were transformed.
For mortals, it might take a lifetime to leave a single world. Only gods and demons could traverse the void and enter and exit void worlds and the main body of the Celestial Void Realm.
Having refined one-thousandth of the Heavenly Dao's Source this time, Xuan Ming saw many regions that were previously shrouded in a hazy mist, and at a glance, he discerned the essence of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
And visibly, where Xuan Ming's gaze passed, mountains crumbled, seas withered, and the void shattered inch by inch. Terrifying void gales began to erode the edges of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
"Gods and demons of this realm, if you do not enter the Southern Continent now, when will you?"
Xuan Ming slowly rose from the Emperor's throne, surrounded by a vast and mighty Heavenly Dao pressure.
The gods and demons of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, apart from the Southern Heaven Demon Domain, also included the seven great demon domains. In the past, Xuan Ming did not have absolute confidence to connect with the Celestial Void Realm, so he used these gods and demons as shields, allowing the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to continue to exist.
But now, having refined one-thousandth of the Heavenly Dao's Source.
He was already approaching invincibility!
Whether or not these shields remained was no longer of great use.
And since the Divine Demon Bureau had been established, it was also time to begin the war.
"Who is it?!" The gods and demons of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range were shaken violently, gazing intently at the towering Emperor's figure standing above the firmament.
As early as when the phantom of the Emperor World was pressing down on the Myriad Demon Mountain Range,
they had been alarmed, initially thinking it was some passing terrifying Heavenly God, but they never expected...
In the firmament, the Emperor's might was vast and mighty, and a pair of indifferent eyes looked down, piercing through the void, causing every god and demon's scalp to tingle and their hearts to tremble.
"We submit, we will go to the Southern Continent immediately!"
A Chief Priest's figure emerged, bowing and submitting. Only then did the towering Emperor's figure suppressing the void disappear.
After the Emperor's figure disappeared, all the gods and demons revealed gloomy expressions.
A Heavenly God of such great power was entrenched and lurking in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
They had been completely unaware of it before.
Now, the entire void of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range was sealed off by the Emperor's Dao Rules, isolating all paths of escape. They had no choice but to obey the order to go to the Southern Continent, otherwise, there would only be death!
