There were more than 20 Dao Supreme Rulers on this mountain. Other than a few new ones, the rest were from ancient times, and there were even a few that were older than Chu Luo and Xuan Qiu.
In the Heavenly Sun World, there were some powerful clans that were once only mentioned in legends. Their ancestors were on this mountain.
At this place, the greatest experts of various clans and races were gathered.
In a large hall, Chu Luo and Xuan Qiu sat side by side.
Those who could enter the hall were all Dao Supreme Rulers.
"What are our chances of winning?"
One of them asked.
"Thirty to fifty percent," Chu Luo said in a deep voice.
The hall was silent.
"Hao… is he really invincible?"
Another ancient existence sighed.
"Seniors, can we talk to him?"
One of the newer Dao Supreme Rulers asked.
That battle back then was too terrifying. Almost all of the Dao Creation realm experts died, and ninety percent of the Dao Supreme realm experts had also died.
If they had no chance of winning, and could avoid fighting, why not submit?
Back when this person was a Dao Supreme realm expert, there were also peerless geniuses who submitted to him and worked for him. Now, he was inferior to someone else, so it was logical for him to submit to that person.
"Talk?"
An ancient existence laughed bitterly.
"If possible, we don't want to be enemies with him either."
Submit to Hao?
They had once submitted to Hao!
"Have you ever heard of the saying 'the heavens are heartless,' and the 'Nine Tribulations of Annihilation'?"
The new Dao Supreme Ruler was stunned.
This was considered an ancient legend in their era.
"Hao is the heavens. He destroyed the world nine times," The ancient Dao Supreme Ruler continued.
"In the past, countless experts submitted to him. I was one of them, but in the end, they all died!"
"My origin essence was taken away, and I lost everything."
"Even before me, there were others who were destroyed."
"The few of us were lucky enough to escape into the void region and survive," another ancient existence continued.
"The ancient times that you know of were actually destroyed."
"Hao treated everyone below him like ants and destroyed the world time and time again. All the Dao Supreme Rulers in the past were his followers. In the end, they were all stripped of their origin essence and killed."
"We have all cultivated for countless years. Could it be that we all exist to be stripped of our origin essence and fused into the world to fulfill his wish?"
All of the Dao Supreme Rulers fell silent.
Thinking back on the great battle back then, if it had not been for Chu Luo and Xuan Qiu, the world would have been destroyed again, and they would have been buried with it, their long years of bitter cultivation turned into nothingness.
Who would be willing to accept this? No one!
The void region was only a temporary safe zone.
Even a Dao Supreme Ruler would slowly turn into nothingness here.
Moreover, if Hao broke through this time, he would definitely search the void region and capture them.
Since that was the case, the best choice was to try and fight him.
They would die either way, so why not take a gamble?
…
The Origin Great Dao was about to complete the next stage of its transformation and envelop the Heavenly Sun World.
Chu Xuan looked at the sun in the sky and fell into deep thought.
The sun was one of the sources of the Heavenly Sun World, and it was very likely that it was a manifestation of the transcendent laws.
Was Hao in the sun?
Or even… Chu Xuan made a startling guess.
Was the sun actually formed by Hao?
If that was the case, Hao would be the undisputed ruler of the Heavenly Sun World.
Moreover, Chu Xuan would then have to reevaluate his strength.
Although Hao was a Dao Supreme Ruler, if his conjecture was right, then Hao would likely be able to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Sun World when necessary, which would bridge the gap between him and Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan thought about the system's derivation, and determined that this was highly likely. When the Heavenly Sun World and the chaos fused their Yin and Yang, a new world would be born, and Hao would have absolute control over the Heavenly Sun World and its inhabitants.
Then, he would definitely make his move to try and wrest control of the Heavenly Dao from Chu Xuan. If he was successful, then he would be the sole and supreme ruler of the new world.
However, there was no way Chu Xuan would let that dream come true.
"No matter how much you plan, it will all be in vain in the end."
Chu Xuan chuckled, and was looking forward to wrecking Hao's countless years of planning and preparation.
In the chaos, Ding Yue had already broken through to the Dao Supreme realm, and was consolidating his cultivation foundation.
Yi Lingling had broken through and created her Dao, followed by Xue Ping.
Qi Le and Chu Yu followed closely behind.
They were all consolidating their cultivation foundations.
Chu Xuan looked at the situation in the Heavenly Sun World. The three factions were about to go to war, and things were reaching their tipping point.
