Chapter 1175, Divine Tier Races

Translator: Silavin

  

In this continent, where martial strength reigns supreme.

 

In the eyes of the world, a Supreme Expert is the symbol of peak power.

 

Whether or not one could become a Top Tier Force was almost measured entirely by whether one possessed a Supreme Expert.

 

Yet only many of the most deeply-rooted Races knew that once, above the Supreme Expert, there had existed a terrifying being, a Deity.

 

In the history of the Myriad Races Continent, during the Primordial Era and the Mythological Era alike, it was the True Dragon Race that held dominion. In these two periods, no power could contend with them.

 

Within the Mythological Era, numerous Deities appeared. Yet even they revered the True Dragon as supreme.

 

And at the very end of the Mythological Era, no one knew what had occurred. The True Dragon Race vanished without a trace. Those many Deities disappeared as well, as though they had evaporated into thin air, leaving nothing behind.

 

From that point, the continent entered the Ancient Era, the most chaotic period this land had ever known.

 

On a continent that had lost the True Dragon’s dominion, the Myriad Races rose up and warred against one another.

 

The Ancient Era persisted for hundreds of thousands of years, until at last, Five Human Deities emerged from the Heavens. Through their supreme abilities, they established vast empires and governed countless Races, and it was this that finally brought the most chaotic of ages to an end.

 

After the Ancient Era came the most stable period of the Myriad Races Continent, the Prehistoric Era.

 

Under the rule of the Five Human Deities, the Myriad Races established order, and the entire continent was enveloped in peace and harmony.

 

Yet this period, too, came to an end as the Five Human Deities aged and their empires declined, and it faded into complete oblivion.

 

Now, the Myriad Races Continent resembled the dawn of a great new era. Across the continent, the Myriad Races had risen once more, and talented individuals emerged in droves.

 

Hundreds of Top Tier Races each dominated their own domain. Yet not one was capable of unifying the continent.

 

And among those Top Tier Races possessed of deep heritage, there remained certain records pertaining to the Prehistoric Era.

 

After the Five Human Deities passed into old age, their empires crumbled alongside them. No one found any heirs of the Five Human Deities.

 

According to legend, the Races that stood behind the Five Human Deities did not perish. There were even tales that the Five Human Deities, who had transcended the Supreme Expert Realm, had not entirely vanished, but rather existed within their Races in some special form. Given sufficient offerings and worship, one could even awaken them once more.

 

Of course, this was merely a rumour. Its truth or falsity had never been confirmed by anyone.

 

The divine abilities of five who had ascended to become Human Deities were far beyond what any current Top Tier Race or other Supreme Expert could hope to glimpse or perceive.

 

Moreover, certain Top Tier Races standing at the pinnacle of the continent had discovered four supremely transcendent Forces in existence. After consulting countless ancient records, they were nearly certain that those four supremely transcendent Forces were none other than the Races that had stood behind the Five Human Deities.

 

No one could fathom the depth of heritage of these four transcendent Forces. Yet even the small corner they occasionally revealed was enough to make countless Races tremble.

 

Once, after one of these transcendent Forces was discovered, three great Supreme Experts sought to pay a visit. Upon being refused entry, the pride innate to Supreme Experts led to a degree of humiliation and fury, and in a fit of temper, they wounded several powerful individuals of that Race.

 

Yet within barely less than half a month, those three Supreme Experts who had been in the prime of their power, together with the Races behind them, were completely annihilated in a single night.

 

Even across the territories of those Races, boundless flames blazed. For a full several years the fires persisted, until at last everything was reduced to smouldering ruins.

 

From that time on, not a single Top Tier Race dared to probe these Forces further. Instead they were listed as an absolutely untouchable category.

 

These four supremely transcendent Forces came to be called by the countless powerful individuals of the Myriad Races, the Divine Tier Races.

 

And now, as countless powerful individuals sensed the pressure radiating from Qin Yichen’s body, their astonishment was boundless. For any powerful individual who had read through ancient records knew that only the Divine Tier Races could, through the sheer pressure of their own Bloodline, make others incapable of summoning any Will to resist.

 

Could this youth before them, whose aura appeared so similar to that of the Human Race, be from a Divine Tier Race?

 

The very thought of this left countless completely shaken.

 

The mysterious and transcendent Divine Tier Races. Recalling every single thing Qin Yichen had done before, and even Lord Mo Sheng’s attitude toward him, their hearts were somewhat settled.

 

Other than the Divine Tier Races, who else could produce Pills universally applicable to all Races?

 

Other than the Divine Tier Races, which Race’s Martial Ancestor would dare to disregard the Dangerous Territory of the Silent Forest and cross straight through it?

 

If he was not from a Divine Tier Race, why would the lofty Supreme Expert Lord Mo Sheng, the very moment the first trial concluded, appear as a projection with such eagerness to announce the result?

 

What was frightening was that among those present, there were still over a thousand powerful individuals who had at one point set their sights on Qin Yichen.

 

Even though they had ultimately failed, cold sweat broke out across them all.

 

If they had truly seized the universally applicable Pill Formula from Qin Yichen’s hands, this would not have been any sort of opportunity at all. It would very likely have brought down a catastrophic disaster upon their own Races.

 

If they had known a Top Tier Race stood behind Qin Yichen, even lending them several times their nerve, they would absolutely never have dared to trouble him.

 

A transcendent Force of that kind, even the Top Tier Races could only scramble to ingratiate themselves with. Who would be so tired of living as to provoke them?

 

At this moment, countless powerful individuals bearing that immense pressure glanced at Hai Botian, who had been suppressed down into the cracks below. Within their hearts, they finally understood the words Qin Yichen had spoken before.

 

Why, when asked to reveal his True Form, had Qin Yichen said Hai Botian was not worthy?

 

This was the arrogance of the Divine Tier Races.

 

And they had every right to be so brazen.

 

Top Tier Races could indeed dominate their own territories across the continent. Yet they could not be mentioned in the same breath as existences such as the Divine Tier Races.

 

The Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was one among them. That night long ago, when they had annihilated three Top Tier Races in a single evening, the intimidating force of that act had still not faded across the Myriad Races.

 

Even with all the rumours saying that the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was inclined to shelter the Human Race, something countless Races found utterly intolerable, not a single one dared to go and demand an answer from the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea.

 

This was the deterrent power of a Divine Tier Race.

 

Yet compared to the astonishment of the countless powerful individuals around him, Qin Yichen inwardly felt something close to bewilderment.

 

Originally, he had been racking his brain over how to flee for his life once his identity was exposed.

 

And so, when Hai Botian demanded that he reveal his True Form, he had thrown caution to the wind and lashed out with a rebuke, simultaneously channelling the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl within his Dantian, intending to use Dragon Prestige to temporarily overawe the crowd and then seize the moment to make his escape.

 

What he had not anticipated was that this very action of his would set off such a commotion. Every powerful individual present was now trembling and fearful, and not one bore the slightest trace of suspicion or doubt in their eyes any longer.

 

[The Divine Tier Race?] Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly. Though the continent had already seen four supremely transcendent Forces identified, the only one he himself knew of was the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea.

 

And from the reaction of the Myriad Races’ powerful individuals at this moment, the pressure within his heart surged at once.

 

The Divine Tier Races, and merely the name alone carried such terrifying powerful deterrence?

 

Most crucially of all, Feng Qianxue had been taken away by powerful individuals of the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea. Sooner or later, he would have to go to the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea.
