Chapter 1199: The Fate of Guyuan Tian

This was a unique space.

The space was chaotic, without distinction between heaven and earth. However, at its center, a massive light screen divided it into two.

On both sides of the space, within the profound void, powerful figures could be seen, appearing and disappearing.

Their sheer number made it impossible to count them distinctly.

Even in the deepest parts of the void, immense auras occasionally emerged, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

That was... the aura of Saints.

Evidently, such Saint auras were present on both sides of the light screen.

This was a space adjacent to the Ancient Source Heaven, where all who emerged from it would first arrive.

On opposite sides of the light screen were the Five Great Heavens and the Saint Race!

Currently, this location had become the focal point of the entire Source Heaven Realm, as everything happening here was being projected as images directly into the heavens.

This projection was primarily orchestrated by the Saint Race, as they had gained the upper hand in almost every Ancient Source Heaven struggle. They wished to make this outcome known to more people in the Five Great Heavens, thereby deepening their despair and demonstrating how difficult it was to resist the Saint Race.

At the highest point of this space, immense auras surged. Most of the Saints from the Five Great Heavens were present here.

Zhuan Zhu stood with his hands behind his back. Beside him stood Xi Jing, with short red hair, a slender physique, and a heroic, spirited demeanor.

However, at this moment, their expressions appeared somewhat solemn.

“The situation this time is still not very good,” Xi Jing whispered.

Now, most of the results of the Ancient Source Heaven struggle had emerged, but for the Five Great Heavens, they were still far from favorable.

The Ancient Source Heaven struggle was divided into four levels:

Heavenly Sun Stage, Nascent Origin Stage, Law Domain Stage, and Saints.

The ancestral qi contended by Saints accounted for 40% of the entire Ancient Source Heaven, while the remaining three levels each contended for 20%.

After numerous contests during this period, results had emerged for three levels, with only the Heavenly Sun Stage yet to conclude.

Among the Saints, the Saint Race ultimately claimed 22% of the 40%, while the Five Great Heavens claimed 18%.

Among the Law Domain Stage, the Saint Race claimed 11%, and the Five Great Heavens claimed 9%.

The worst outcome was for the Nascent Origin Stage: the Saint Race claimed 15%, while the Five Great Heavens only managed 5%!

The overall gap between the two sides could be somewhat gleaned from these results.

Excluding the yet-to-be-revealed Heavenly Sun Stage results, of the Ancient Source Heaven's 80% ancestral qi, the Saint Race had claimed 48%, while the Five Great Heavens had only 32%.

Do not underestimate this mere 16%, for it represented an immeasurably vast amount of ancestral qi. If this qi were to empower the Saint Race, it would undoubtedly make them even more formidable for the next thousand years.

Therefore, for now, the Saint Race still held the absolute advantage based on the results.

The results from this place were also projected into the heavens. Countless beings across the Five Great Heavens gazed at the projections appearing in the void, and an atmosphere of pessimism permeated the entire realm.

The Saint Race consistently held the advantage, which led to them growing stronger and their advantage widening. When this advantage accumulated to a certain point, it might truly signal the end for the Five Great Heavens.

But what could they do?

Elites from all levels had been sent forth, yet even so, they could not compete.

Although the Heavenly Sun Stage results had not yet emerged, many had already lost significant hope.

In the chaotic space.

On the Saint Race's side, the void twisted, appearing like layered tunnels leading to myriad realms.

Among them, some god-like colossal phantoms floated into view, emanating unfathomable auras like abysses, causing the space to continually collapse.

“It seems our Saint Race still holds the upper hand in this Ancient Source Heaven struggle.” An ancient, indifferent laugh echoed. The voice seemed to contain a certain rule; as it faded, starlight erupted in the chaos, transforming into countless falling meteors.

On the Five Great Heavens' side, a Saint also stepped forward, none other than Grand Exalted Wan Zu from the Myriad Ancestor Domain.

He emotionlessly watched the colossal phantom on the other side of the light screen and said, “The Heavenly Sun Stage results have not yet emerged, Star Saint. You are too quick to draw conclusions.”

The Saint on the other side was titled Star Saint, an exceedingly ancient Saint within the Saint Race.

“Heh heh, I fear you will be even more despairing once the results there are revealed,” the Saint Race’s Star Saint said indifferently.

His words held a subtle, ominous hint, causing countless hearts on the Five Great Heavens' side to sink involuntarily. Could there be some special variable within the Heavenly Sun Stage?

“Very well, at this point, there’s no need to conceal anything.”

The Star Saint chuckled softly, his faint voice echoing through the chaotic space: “Within the Heavenly Sun Stage, our Saint Race Saints have devised a barrier capable of binding nine major ancestral qi mainlines. This means our Saint Race will claim all 20% of the ancestral qi there.”

Upon hearing this, the heavens were shocked.

Even some Saints from the Five Great Heavens couldn't help but tremble slightly, and terrifying auras immediately leaked out, causing the sky and earth to change color.

“Your Saint Race dares to employ such a treacherous scheme?!” A Saint roared in fury, and the chaotic void continually shattered.

“Ridiculous! Victor takes all, the strong prey on the weak. If not for the divine being of our race battling the Ancestral Dragon’s will and falling into slumber, you, these mere Five Heavens, would have long ago been prisoners of our Saint Race. How dare you be so presumptuous?” A Saint from the Saint Race sneered in response.

Boom! Boom!

The Saints on both sides were enraged. At that moment, an indescribable pressure permeated the space, making it difficult for the forces from both sides within this chaotic space to breathe.

Ultimately, however, they restrained themselves and did not erupt into a true battle of Saints, as it was not the opportune moment.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere on the Five Great Heavens' side grew even more oppressive. If what the Saint Race claimed was true, then the Heavenly Sun Stage cultivators from the Five Great Heavens were likely facing a rather grim outcome.

Moreover, the impact would be unparalleled. If those 20% of ancestral qi were entirely seized by the Saint Race, it would mark the greatest defeat in the history of all heavens.

The Saint Race would gain even more power, and the heavens in the future would face greater crises and pressure.

“Those bastards from the Saint Race!” Xi Jing gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with fury. Zhou Yuan was currently also in the Heavenly Sun Stage of the Ancient Source Heaven!

Zhuan Zhu also fell silent. Faced with the unique rules of the Ancient Source Heaven, even Saints could not interfere.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yuan has considerable means. Even if he can't contend with the Saint Race, he should be able to protect himself,” he could only offer as comfort.

But he himself knew the futility of his words. If the Saint Race had indeed unleashed a barrier capable of capturing nine mainlines, it was certainly not a power that Heavenly Sun Stage cultivators could contend with...

At this moment, Zhou Yuan and the Heavenly Sun Stage cultivators from the Five Great Heavens might be in grave danger.

The chaotic space once again fell silent.

All eyes across the Source Heaven Realm were fixed on the projections spanning the sky.

They all understood that if the results were truly as the Saint Race Saint claimed, then the heavens would undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat this time. At that point, the entire Five Heavens might be filled with lamentation and pervaded by despair...

And at this very moment, an unusual movement suddenly appeared within the chaotic space.

The void was seen tearing apart, forming a spatial portal.

Everyone on both sides suddenly cast their gazes towards it. They knew this was the emergence of the Heavenly Sun Stage results...
