The Phantom Extinction Palace had long allied itself with the Teng Snake Clan, ruling the East Wilderness, enslaving the human race, and mining ancient minerals for the Teng Snake Clan's benefit. Countless humans suffered under their oppressive rule, but because of their allegiance to the ancient clans, even some powerful human sects dared not take drastic action against them, despite their rampant tyranny.
But now, with the resurrection of the Great Saint Body, nothing mattered anymore.
With a single finger, this malignant "tumor" of the East Wilderness, the Phantom Extinction Palace, was wiped out from existence, leaving not even a trace of its past presence in the world.
After obliterating the Phantom Extinction Palace, the Great Saint Body did not pause. Time was short, and he needed to accomplish as much as possible for the human race, giving everything he had.
His eyes blazed with burning intent, and his fighting spirit soared as he stepped across the vast expanse of the East Wilderness, stepping on mountains, rivers, and even the sun and moon themselves.
The East Wilderness was vast, its territories endless. For an ordinary cultivator, it would take a lifetime and the help of formations spanning thousands of miles to cross the entire region. But for the Great Saint Body, such limitations didn't exist.
With each step he took, the sun and moon spun, the mountains and rivers disappeared, and he was already tens of thousands of miles away.
The Ancestral Land of the Dragon Crocodile Clan
This place was a paradise, with divine mountains stretching endlessly, ancient trees flourishing, and spiritual herbs dotting the land. The spiritual energy in the air was thick, making it a true treasure trove.
The Dragon Crocodile Clan was one of the ancient tribes, said to have bloodline ties to true dragons. They were a mighty race, with several ancient Saint-level kings as their protectors. They were a royal family among the ancient tribes.
However, despite their great power, this land was forbidden to outsiders, and only the Dragon Crocodile Clan's people could step foot here.
But today was different.
The Great Saint Body stepped into their ancestral land, and the usually arrogant and domineering Dragon Crocodile Clan became eerily silent. None dared to speak or stop him. Even the most powerful beings of the clan—the ancient kings—cowered within their palaces, trembling with fear.
"In the past, when my human race ruled the world, we coexisted peacefully with all races and never oppressed anyone."
As the Great Saint Body strolled through the ancestral land, his gaze turned to the massive ancient palaces deep within the land. His voice was calm as he spoke.
His words, though simple and peaceful, caused the ancient kings of the Dragon Crocodile Clan to tremble violently. Unable to resist the immense pressure, they immediately kneeled and bowed to the Great Saint Body.
Such a scene would undoubtedly shock the world. The ancient kings, beings who were revered as rulers, were bowing in submission to this human figure.
One of the ancient kings of the Dragon Crocodile Clan, still trembling, spoke with utmost respect:
"We, the Dragon Crocodile Clan, wish to coexist peacefully with the human race."
When he dared to lift his head, the terrifying aura that had filled the air had vanished. The figure that had struck fear into him was no longer present. The Great Saint Body had already left.
After a long period of silence, the ancient kings of the Dragon Crocodile Clan finally dared to speak among themselves, their faces filled with fear.
"That was terrifying. When he arrived, I felt as if I was facing a living Ancient Emperor!"
"How could the human race produce such an overwhelming existence?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know! Issue a command immediately. The Dragon Crocodile Clan is to seal the mountains and forbid any contact with the outside world. The appearance of this supreme human being in the East Wilderness will certainly cause a storm. We must be careful and avoid involvement until we understand the situation."
The ancient kings took extreme caution. The Great Saint Body's return was bound to shake the entire East Wilderness—and the world—bringing about a catastrophe. The Dragon Crocodile Clan had no idea how to deal with this new threat.
The Great Saint Body left the Dragon Crocodile Clan's ancestral land and continued his journey, visiting various Ancient King Clan strongholds.
These were once proud and mighty clans that ruled the world, but now, none dared challenge the Great Saint Body. He moved without uttering a word, walking through each stronghold, and no one dared stop him.
It was a silent, overwhelming form of intimidation.
Everywhere he went, the world trembled. His presence was like a storm, and the forces of nature bowed before him. All races in the East Wilderness, even the most powerful ancient clans, trembled before the might of the Great Saint Body.
Finally, the Great Saint Body arrived at the ancestral land of the Teng Snake Clan.
He didn't enter the land but simply stood outside, silently observing the Teng Snake Clan's territory for a long time. In his eyes, visions of stars vanishing, the rise and fall of great eras, and worlds being formed flickered.
Finally, he moved, raising his finger. With an overwhelming divine force, half of the Teng Snake Clan's ancient land was turned to ashes in an instant.
The Teng Snake Clan's people had no time to resist. Before they could even react, most of them had been obliterated.
Despite this, the ancient land of the Teng Snake Clan remained eerily quiet, and not a single person dared to speak.
"Half of the clan has been destroyed as a warning. I leave some of them alive for the future, to be used to hone the future generations of my human race."
The Great Saint Body murmured softly to himself before walking away, his mission complete.
He understood that eliminating the Teng Snake Clan would not change much in the human race's situation. Instead, it would provoke the other ancient clans, making them more wary of the humans.
Only when the human race rose through its own strength could it truly be free from fear, standing tall among all the ancient races.
As he departed, he suppressed his aura, no longer intimidating any more ancient clans.
He wandered through the vast, familiar world, gazing at the mountains and rivers he had known, filled with endless nostalgia.
His body began to glow, turning into light and rain, fading away into the sky.
"Born here, lived here, buried here. After millions of years, I may return to see this world again and give one final push for the human race. I have done all I can; even in death, I have no regrets."
The Great Saint Body's voice was calm, tinged with a sense of satisfaction and sorrow. His body disintegrated into light and rain, scattering across the world.
Eventually, his figure disappeared, leaving behind only a bloodstained battle robe slowly falling to the earth.
