Before ancient times, cultivators relied entirely on their own painstaking practice which took an extremely long time, often spanning millions or tens of millions of years.
As more and more powerful figures fell, their original sources scattered between Heaven and Earth. If a person of fate obtained them, they could immediately save tens or hundreds of thousands of years of practice and ascend to the Dao Venerable Realm.
The environment indeed became more harsh, but the opportunities and chances increased; this was the current world order.
Jiang Chen in his early period managed to rapidly rise by devouring the corpses of nine young Golden Crows, surpassing others' tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
"Although these five swords appear much stronger than before, exactly how strong they are still needs to be tested."
"Today, let me use these nine Chaos Demigods to test my sword."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen waved his wide sleeves and brushed over the Hongmeng Killing Array Map.
