(There was a bug in the previous chapter: the Supreme Sovereign's soul should have been suppressed inside the imperial coffin. That was my mistake—it's now corrected. The following plot will proceed according to this revision.)
Although all eight Supreme Sovereign Emperors were born of Earth Mother Primordial Lady, their races were each different. One half-god emperor was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed the ancestral dragon vein of the Earth-Mother Origin World, giving birth to a son with a dragon's head and a human body, honored as Supreme Sovereign Dragonxi.
Another was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed the energy of the sky, giving birth to a daughter with a phoenix's head, human body, and twin wings, honored as Supreme Sovereign Fengyou.
Another was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed the Celestial River, giving birth to a son with a turtle's back and human body, honored as Supreme Sovereign Heluo.
Another was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed the vast Sumeru Mountain of the Origin World, giving birth to a son whose body was like solid rock, honored as Supreme Sovereign Jiāmo.
Another was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed Youdu, giving birth to a son with a bull's head, human body, and three eyes, honored as Supreme Sovereign Night-Bo.
Another was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed Profound Capital, giving birth to a daughter whose body was pure white and whose eyes shone with white light but had no pupils, honored as Supreme Sovereign Xuannü.
Supreme Sovereign Yuanjun was conceived when Earth Mother Primordial Lady sensed Home’s End Abyss, born with a black body covered in swirling vortex patterns.
Only Earth Mother Primordial Lady’s eldest daughter, Supreme Sovereign Mei Ying, was formed when a fruit of her earth Dao ripened and fell to the ground, transforming into a living being.
Aside from these Supreme Sovereigns and the one whose corpse was taken aboard the ghost ship by Autumn Cloud Phoenix, the others died outside, their souls scattered. There are even rumors that a few Supreme Sovereigns were taken by others and refined into treasures.
Supreme Sovereign Dragonseal was famed for his transformations—his body swelled until it rivaled the Heaven-Guide Venerable himself. Behind him, a whole heaven manifested, bristling with blue thunder. He wielded lightning as his sword, summoning a world-ending thunder calamity. Seas of lightning surged into his palm, forming the sharpest blade of the Sovereign Era!
Supreme Sovereign Abysslord conjured a massive vortex above his head, devouring everything in its path. In the Sovereign Era, he could tear apart any divine art, any divine weapon.
Supreme Sovereign Mei Ying resembled a young Earth Mother Primordial Lady, commanding the greatest power of the Origin World’s earth. Her bloodline was the purest, and her mastery of primordial magnetism was unmatched.
The eight Supreme Sovereigns unleashed their divine powers at once—heaven and earth shattered, the sky buckling beneath their onslaught. Gaping spatial rifts, ten thousand miles long, split the heavens, a terrifying spectacle.
The Heaven-Guide Venerable laughed, "Ants."
Magnetic divine light erupted around him as his palm met Supreme Sovereign Mei Ying. In an instant, this so-called strongest fleshly Emperor’s Throne expert was crushed, slammed from sky to earth, bones and tendons shattering, forced to kneel!
Mei Ying struggled to rise, but a massive foot stomped down, grinding her to dust—nothing remained!
The Heaven-Guide Venerable’s other palm met Supreme Sovereign Night-Bo—Youdu divine arts clashing head-on.
Night-Bo’s Yellow Springs bull horns snapped, the Nether Sea beneath his hooves evaporated. The Heaven-Guide Venerable slammed him to the ground with a single blow, nearly disintegrating his body.
"Escaped disaster only because you lack Tu Bo’s Dao runes," he said coldly.
