Chapter 2279: Chapter 2279 - 2279 Entering the Human Ancestral Land, the History of Antiquity, the God of Tribulation Lightning

The Heavenly Human Sanctuary Leader was severely injured from blocking the Tempest King’s palm attack.

Similarly, things did not end up any better for the Manifa Destiny Sect Leader either.

The vast torrential flow of Yin Yang energy approached with great might, upsetting the surrounding space and turning the whole area upside down. Wherever the attack went, the terrain in its path was reduced to chaos.

That palm attack shook the entire Manifa Destiny Sect.

The Manifa Destiny Sect Leader let out a great roar and did not hold back from unleashing his ultimate technique. Only by doing so did he manage to block it. However, just like the Heavenly Human Sanctuary Leader, he was critically injured.

The Manifa Destiny Sect also suffered much damage from the aftermath of the attack.

One thing to note was that those two were no ordinary Monarchs.

Among the Monarchs in the entire universe, they were considered elites. However, even they were heavily injured by the Tempest King’s attacks that traveled across countless domains.

Having dealt with such power, they felt frightened.

Meanwhile, everyone outside the Human Ancestral Land could only see the terrifying energy fluctuation coming from the distance.

Following that, the entire Great Hongmeng Universe seemed to tremble for a moment. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some Monarchs had also noticed what was happening in the two Human Sanctuaries.

A layer of sweat had formed on the Strength Buddha’s forehead, and his hand holding his prayer beads was trembling.

At the same time, he felt relieved that he was silent earlier.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land would have had to face that palm attack.

Compared to the Manifa Destiny Sect Leader and Heavenly Human Sanctuary Leader, the current generation’s Heavenly Buddha was not as powerful as them. If those two were critically injured from taking the full blow of the Tempest King’s attack, he would certainly end up worse if he were in their shoes.

“By the heavens, is the Tempest King so terrifying?”

“She’s too powerful.”

“Even if they worked hard their whole lives, I’m afraid most cultivators out there can’t attain a level similar to those two palm attacks of hers. She’s no doubt the Monarch who reigned supreme over an entire era.”

“Wow, and Chu Kuangren is her Honorable Teacher? Is that a joke?”

Everyone expressed their shock.

After unleashing the two palm attacks, the Tempest King descended from the skies.

She slowly walked toward Chu Kuangren and, in the presence of billions of cultivators and beings in the Great Hongmeng Universe, knelt before him with utmost reverence.

“Greetings, Honorable Teacher!”

At that moment, the winds stopped howling, and the clouds stopped moving.

The chaotic and noisy surroundings fell silent.

As the Monarch knelt, the heavens and earth trembled, silencing all beings.

Everyone’s jaw dropped as they could not believe what was unfolding before their very eyes. The other Monarchs, in particular, were shaken.

What were Monarchs?

They were beings who had mastered the Great Daoist laws, stood on the precipice of power, and were Transcendentalists.

Every Monarch possessed their pride. Even ordinary Monarchs like the Purple Lightning Master and Granny Snowflower did not have to kneel or bow to the Sanctuary Leader. They might not even need to greet them, let alone a Monarch like the Tempest King, who was unparalleled throughout an entire era!

Yet, right now, that Monarch had bent the knee!

Most importantly, the person whom that Monarch was kneeling before was only a Grand Dao cultivator!

“Alright, you can stand up now. You’re already a Monarch, you know. Kneeling before me in front of so many people, aren’t you afraid of damaging your dignity or reputation?” Chu Kuangren laughed.

“I want them all to see with their own eyes, and only by doing so can they understand how important you are to me, Honorable Teacher. They will also know that being your enemy will also mean they must be prepared to fight me to the death!” the Tempest King said with great determination.

Chu Kuangren was very touched by the Tempest King’s actions.

Truth be told, he had never expected that the little Gilded Immortal he casually saved and taken as a disciple would become so powerful one day.

Fate was truly a wonderful thing.

The other Monarchs observing in secret were shocked to see the Tempest King’s actions. They had figured that the Tempest King would hold Chu Kuangren in high regard but never to such an extent.

“Honorable Teacher, fellow Daoist Brothers, and fellow Daoist Sisters, please go ahead.”

The Tempest King looked at Ye Zhu and the others as she said.

Ye Zhu and the others were suddenly dumbstruck.

Being addressed as “Daoist Brother” and “Daoist Sister” by the Tempest King was quite a great honor.

It was a privilege that not many would possess.

“Very well.”

Chu Kuangren nodded before leading Ye Zhu and the others into the Human Ancestral Land.

However, the Tempest King and Wine Honorable remained, their expressions calm.

“Honorable Tempest King, is the little fellow– Ahem. Is it true? Is the Sect Leader Chu your Honorable Teacher?” Wine Honorable was about to speak of Chu Kuangren as “little fellow”, but when he remembered the Tempest King’s utmost respect toward him, he quickly changed his words.

The Tempest King nodded. “My Honorable Teacher has shown me tremendous kindness and even given me a second chance at life. I’m grateful for the support you’ve given my Honorable Teacher during my absence from the Great Hongmeng Universe, Wine Honorable.”

“You’re too kind, Honorable Tempest King. I’ve also benefited from helping Sect Leader Chu.”

The Wine Honorable shook the jar of A Fleeting Dream wine in his hand and laughed.

…

The Human Ancestral Land was a very vast world, the birthplace of humanity.

Traces of humanity’s existence could be found everywhere, from the most primitive caves and stone huts to tribal villages and even highly developed cities.

After Chu Kuangren entered the place, everything he saw was like a history of the development of human civilization slowly unfolding before his eyes.

Everyone was amazed.

“Our ancestors continuously developed here before eventually reaching the various parts throughout the Infiniverse. They’re the ones who made humans the masters of the universe,” Ye Zhu said with great respect in his eyes.

Soon, everyone arrived at a tribal settlement that appeared deserted.

Primitive tools like stone bowls and bone spears could be found scattered everywhere.

“Sect Leader, look over there…”

At that moment, Ye Zhu pointed at an altar nearby.

The bones of various beasts were laid out on the altar.

Before the bones stood a massive statue.

“Were rituals once held here?”

“It must be. The humans of this tribe seemed to be worshiping this statue. This must be the statue of some sort of cultivator from ancient times, which means he was regarded as a deity by the ancient humans.” Shang Hongua made a speculation.

During the most ancient times, cultivation civilizations did not exist in the human race.

Compared to other species, humans were physically weak, so weak that they could hardly defend themselves. Hence, it was no surprise that they regarded some cultivators as their deities and worshiped them.

“This statue…”

Chu Kuangren sensed something familiar when he looked at that statue.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Why did he find it familiar?

“Please hold on for a moment, Master. I’m currently searching through my knowledge base…” Lil Ai said.

It was not long before a picture appeared in Chu Kuangren’s mind.

It was when he was undergoing the Primordial Tribulation or the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation, the most powerful Primordial Tribulation of them all. During the last tribulation lightning, a purple figure appeared in the skies.

That figure seemed to be the being that controlled the tribulation lightnings.

The appearance, body shape, and temperament of that purple giant back then were very similar to the statue. Did it mean that the ancient humans were worshiping the god of tribulation lightning during ancient times?

Chu Kuangren was shocked.

Did the god of tribulation lightning have something to do with ancient humans?

“Lil Ai, please record everything I experience on this journey in the Human Ancestral Land. Don’t let any little detail slip by,” Chu Kuangren ordered.

The Human Ancestral Land contained the rich history of the human race, which recorded many ancient beings. Therefore, collecting that information would be useful for the future.

“Alright.”

Lil Ai would not let go of that archaeological opportunity either.

Although she contained knowledge from multiple universes, the Human Ancestral Land was a place that had been around since the oldest of times, containing the history of humans throughout countless epochs and eras. That was why the location was also a huge temptation for her.
