At the very center of the lava continent, in the heart of the tallest, largest, and most active volcano, this race is being conceived.
Like the race in the East Sea, this race is also extremely powerful. Upon their birth, they possessed cultivation levels exceeding the third stage of the Transcendent Realm.
Moreover, the race in the East China Sea and the race born from the volcanoes of the lava continent in the South China Sea are subtly hostile to each other.
In the lands where these two races originated, on the giant islands of the East Sea and the lava continents of the South Sea, other races were also emerging. Although they were not as powerful as the two original races, they were still quite formidable.
These powerful races are all quietly awaiting their final day of emergence, the day when the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm successfully advances to become a Lesser Thousand World.

While the Tianyuan Sacred Realm was still in the process of advancing to a Lesser Thousand World, the Yitian World had already completed its advancement from a plane to a Lesser World.
Unlike the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the advancement of the Heavenly Sword World did not bring about significant changes within the world itself.
After the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber World was upgraded to a minor world, only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was greatly improved; other aspects did not change much.
Due to the increase in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, some ordinary medicinal herbs within the world of Yitian began to evolve into spiritual herbs. In addition, some beasts gradually became stronger, and their bloodlines began to evolve.
The biggest change in the world of Yitian is that the strongest beings it can support have increased from the peak of the first level of the extraordinary realm to the peak of the second level of the extraordinary realm.
In the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, only a handful of people can sense the significant increase in the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
After the Yitian World successfully advanced to a minor world, the Tianyuan Sacred Realm's advancement is also about to be completed.
The Tianyuan Sacred Realm is now many times larger than it was before.
Within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, countless new stars are being born in the boundless starry sky. And among those stars that existed before, many have already seen the emergence of intelligent life and scattered powerful beings.
The Tianyuan Continent is now vast and boundless compared to its past, having expanded many times over.
Although the continent's area has expanded, the various tribes of Tianyuan have maintained their previous status quo. While their living areas have changed significantly, the territories of each tribe have not been separated.
However, the Tianyuan Continent is now too large, and the various races of Tianyuan have lost contact with each other.
The tribes that once bordered their territory have long since vanished. The various tribes of the Tianyuan Continent are now separated by this vast and boundless land.
Starting from the territories of each tribe, all around was a vast, unfamiliar land, devoid of any trace of intelligent life.
The demon race that once roamed the Origin Mountains is now only scattered sparsely across this vast and boundless mountain range. Because of the immense distances between them, these demons find it difficult to communicate.
Suddenly, within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, vast amounts of spiritual energy began to surge forth from all directions. This spiritual energy seemed inexhaustible, continuously merging into the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm. The concentration of spiritual energy within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm was rapidly increasing.
Just as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously merging into the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, countless chains of rules suddenly appeared out of thin air within the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, exposed to the world.
The Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm has finally successfully advanced to become a Lesser Thousand World.
When the powerful figures from all races on the Tianyuan Continent and those on the stars in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm saw these exposed rules of heaven and earth, they immediately fell into a state of enlightenment.
Those experts whose cultivation had already reached the limit of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the peak of the second level of the Transcendent Realm, began to break through their cultivation levels one after another during their enlightenment, and were about to reach the third level of the Transcendent Realm.
At this moment, all members of the Destruction God Clan gathered in the center of the Destruction God Clan's territory.
They all sat cross-legged, eyes closed, intently comprehending the exposed laws governing the universe. Their cultivation levels were rapidly increasing.
Just then, an immense amount of merit from heaven and earth suddenly fell into the Destruction God Clan.
This merit was divided into two parts, which were injected into the bodies of Po Jun and Wu Qu respectively.
This power of merit is to reward Po Jun and Wu Qu for their contributions to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm's absorption of the Yitian World within the Yitian World.
After the Tianyuan Sacred Realm absorbed the Yitian World, it advanced to become a Lesser Thousand World. Po Jun and Wu Qu indirectly helped the Tianyuan Sacred Realm advance, which is why they were rewarded with such immense public virtue.
After the two immense streams of merit entered their bodies, Po Jun and Wu Qu's cultivation levels began to surge.
In an instant, time around them was distorted, which was also the reward that heaven and earth gave them.
In the distorted flow of time, what appeared to be a mere instant to the outside world, Po Jun and Wu Qu underwent two transformations in quick succession. Their cultivation levels were pushed to the current upper limit of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, reaching the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, and the clan markings on their foreheads also turned green.
After the Tianyuan Sacred Realm was upgraded to a Lesser Thousand World, the limit of cultivation for the beings living in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm was the peak of the fourth level of the Extraordinary Realm.
A peak fourth-tier Transcendent cultivation level, if placed in those great worlds of cultivation, would be equivalent to a powerful individual who has survived a heavenly tribulation and is only one step away from ascension.
In the system of cultivating gods, that is a demigod who is only one step away from condensing a divine spark and becoming a god.
This is already a super strong person who can burn mountains and boil seas, turn the world upside down, traverse the starry sky with their physical body, and shatter a planet single-handedly.
Po Jun and Wu Qu are currently only at the mid-stage of the fourth level of the extraordinary realm, and they are still a long way from the peak of the fourth level of the extraordinary realm.
Even so, thanks to the incomparably powerful talent of the Annihilation God Clan, once they reach the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, although they can no longer fight across vastly different levels like they could in the early stages of cultivation, their mid-stage Transcendent Realm cultivation allows them to unleash combat power comparable to that of other races at the peak of the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.
After Po Jun and Wu Qu broke through, all members of the Po Mie Shen Clan whose cultivation had reached the peak of the second level of the extraordinary realm underwent transformations.
Their cultivation levels had all broken through to the third stage of the extraordinary realm, and the clan markings on their foreheads had all turned yellow.
Shortly after Po Jun and Wu Qu broke through, on that giant island in the East Sea, boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather in one place, forming a vortex of spiritual energy.
"roar!"
A roar that resounded throughout the entire giant island rang out, and a colossal creature burst forth from the center of the vortex of spiritual energy, beginning to soar through the sky.
This creature has nine resemblances: its head resembles a camel, its antlers a deer, its eyes a rabbit, its ears a cow, its neck a snake, its belly a clam, its scales a carp, its claws an eagle, and its paws a tiger.
