Chapter 1292: The Theory of the Nine Stages of the Unity Realm!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian agreed so readily because Dao Ancestor Longyan’s battle record wasn’t particularly impressive.

Judging from his cultivation, Dao Ancestor Longyan should have been at the late stage of the Unity Realm, with combat power roughly at the top-tier Unity Realm level.

Of course, this so-called “top-tier Unity Realm combat power” was based on the standards of the Profound Void Ultimate Ancient Realm.

As for how the Dark Sacred Region defined specific combat strength within the Unity Realm, Ye Tian currently didn’t know much about it.

However, he was confident he could defeat Dao Ancestor Longyan.

“Then let’s step onto the Battle Stage!”

Dao Ancestor Longyan immediately entered the Battle Stage, and Ye Tian followed closely behind.

“It’s Dao Ancestor Longyan! He just entered the Battle Stage with an All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor!”

“That All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor is the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws—a genius from the All-Things Ranking—but he clearly doesn’t know Dao Ancestor Longyan very well. To think he actually dared to challenge Dao Ancestor Longyan!”

“Hahaha! Dao Ancestor Longyan specializes in cultivating defensive forbidden dao techniques and possesses a defensive Sacred Body. Although that Sacred Body doesn’t rank among the Three Thousand Sacred Bodies, and is merely an ordinary one, it still provides a huge advantage on the Battle Stage.”

“On the Battle Stage, where using defensive Domain Artifacts or other defensive secret treasures is prohibited, having a defensive Sacred Body and defensive forbidden dao techniques is a tremendous advantage! Others lose as soon as their physical bodies collapse, but his body won’t easily crumble!”

“Exactly! Dao Ancestor Longyan is very strong indeed—he’s a fifth-stage Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws is definitely going to lose!”

…

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you’re truly bold to challenge me—a fifth-stage Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor—while only at the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor!” Dao Ancestor Longyan mocked with a laugh.

Anyways, Ye Tian had already agreed to the battle and stepped onto the stage; it was too late to regret now, so Dao Ancestor Longyan didn’t mind talking a bit more nonsense.

“Fifth-stage Unity Realm? Could it be that even within the Unity Realm, there are specific divisions of power?” Ye Tian asked curiously.

“Oh, it seems your domain really is weak. You don’t even understand the subdivisions within the Unity Realm. No wonder you dared to challenge me—you’re truly ignorant!”

Dao Ancestor Longyan said in surprise, then explained, “Within the Unity Realm, the power gap between different stages can be so vast that a stronger Unity Realm expert can effortlessly kill a weaker one. Therefore, the Domain Ancestors in the Dark Sacred Region further divided the Unity Realm into detailed levels, from the first-stage Unity Realm up to the ninth-stage Unity Realm.

The specific method of division relies on combat strength. All major forces have special places to test combat power. Even the Battle Realm Pagoda has a specialized place—the Ninefold Battle Realm—where you can test your combat strength for just ten points! Moreover, these results are confidential and won’t be publicly revealed!”

“So that’s how it is!” Ye Tian suddenly understood.

“Enough nonsense! Let’s finish this quickly!” Dao Ancestor Longyan attacked.

He instantly activated his Heavenly Rock Sacred Body and threw a punch directly at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian’s punch was also a forbidden dao technique—Heaven Shattering Fist!

Boom!!!

Space trembled as a terrifying pressure descended. This blow alone could destroy any All-Things Realm cultivator; even geniuses ranked in the lower hundreds of the All-Things Ranking would struggle to endure it.

“As expected, he possesses combat strength at the top-tier Unity Realm of the Profound Void Ultimate Ancient Realm—or even slightly higher!” Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Of course, even without utilizing his Limit Dao Force, Ye Tian’s strength still surpassed Dao Ancestor Longyan’s, so he wasn’t flustered in the slightest.

“Dark Limit Dao Spear!”

Ye Tian wielded the Heaven-Slaying Spear, colliding directly against Dao Ancestor Longyan.

Boom!!!

Ye Tian remained immovable like a towering mountain, while Dao Ancestor Longyan was knocked flying. Cracks appeared on his supposedly indestructible fist.

His Heavenly Rock Sacred Body had almost shattered from just this single strike.

Dao Ancestor Longyan had no choice but to acknowledge Ye Tian’s terrifying attack, which had even exceeded his strongest blow.

“Sixth-stage Unity Realm combat power!” Dao Ancestor Longyan’s expression became extremely solemn.

Among All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors, possessing fifth-stage Unity Realm combat power was already sufficient to rank within the top 300. With sixth-stage Unity Realm combat power, one could directly enter the top 100.

The top ten of the All-Things Ranking generally had seventh-stage Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor combat power, but most were barely at the entry level. Moreover, they relied heavily on powerful Sacred Bodies and various weapons and secret techniques to barely cross into this threshold. Without those weapons, their combat strength in the Battle Realm Pagoda would at most reach half the seventh-stage Unity Realm.

There had indeed been All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors who could genuinely rely on their own strength to achieve seventh-stage Unity Realm combat power, but such individuals only appeared rarely over long periods. Historically, there had even been heaven-defying existences who reached eighth-stage Unity Realm combat power.

Even so, Ye Tian’s sixth-stage Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor strength truly astonished Dao Ancestor Longyan.

He knew he had underestimated Ye Tian. Now, not only would he lose points, but he’d also lose face.

“Damn it, I shouldn’t have stuck my neck out!” Dao Ancestor Longyan secretly regretted.

Now, his only hope was that Ye Tian had relied on some secret technique to temporarily attain sixth-stage Unity Realm combat power and wouldn’t be able to sustain it for long.

If that were the case, he could endure with his Heavenly Rock Sacred Body and defensive forbidden dao techniques, eventually securing victory.

Boom!!!

Ye Tian attacked again, treating Dao Ancestor Longyan like a punching bag, striking him until cracks continually spread across his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Their battle attracted the attention of many Half-Step Domain Ancestors, who watched in astonishment.

“Absolutely terrifying! The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws actually has combat power within the top 100 of the All-Things Ranking!” A Unity Realm cultivator exclaimed in shock.

Outside the Battle Stage.

Dao Ancestor Silver Eyes breathed a sigh of relief. With Ye Tian’s incredible strength, his earlier loss was entirely justified.

If Ye Tian had unleashed his full strength from the start, he feared he would have been defeated in a single move.

“I never expected that such a monstrous genius could emerge from a small domain. Perhaps he might even have a chance at entering the top ten of the All-Things Ranking,” Dao Ancestor Silver Eyes silently thought.

Coming from a small domain and entering the top ten of the All-Things Ranking might attract the attention of the Ten Supreme Sacred Gates. Naturally, placing within the top three would significantly increase one’s chances of joining a Sacred Gate.

However, achieving a top-three rank was extraordinarily difficult. For an All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor from a minor domain, without a powerful inheritance, it was practically impossible.

The top three of the All-Things Ranking were almost always monopolized by disciples from the Ten Supreme Sacred Gates.

For someone outside a Sacred Gate, breaking into the top three was simply too challenging.

After some more time passed, Dao Ancestor Longyan’s defensive forbidden dao techniques were shattered repeatedly until he could no longer condense them. Even his Heavenly Rock Sacred Body was eventually destroyed—he had been thoroughly defeated.

With Dao Ancestor Longyan’s defeat, Ye Tian’s strength was officially recognized by the Battle Realm Pagoda, placing him within the top 100 of the All-Things Ranking.

Very quickly, Ye Tian’s name rose to the 98th position on the All-Things Ranking.
