The rewards that the several extraordinary eighth-tier powerhouses from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm received after sacrificing that Middle Thousand Universe were, strictly speaking, not as good as the rewards they received after sacrificing those great divine beings.
The rewards obtained from sacrificing to those great gods were material; although they were all extremely precious resources or treasures, their effect on them was not as great as one might imagine.
After they sacrificed this vast universe, which was on the scale of a middle-thousand world, the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm gave them a different reward.
This allows them to improve their strength to a certain extent in a very short period of time, and to establish a very solid foundation without any future troubles.
Typically, powerful individuals within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, after reaching the 7th level of the Extraordinary Realm, seek to further enhance their strength.
They would all choose to delve into the primordial sea of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm to comprehend the various laws within it, thereby making their cultivation even stronger.
However, within the very origin of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, every inch of space is inscribed with Yuan Hao's will. Every powerful individual from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm who enters the Sea of Origin to cultivate will be oppressed by Yuan Hao's will.
Furthermore, this oppressive force becomes stronger the closer one gets to the core of the Sea of Origin, while the efficiency of comprehending the laws also increases the closer one gets to the core of the Sea of Origin.
Those extraordinary seventh-level experts in Tianyuan can only cultivate near the Sea of Origin, and cannot directly enter the vast and boundless Origin of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
Even the few extraordinary level 8 experts present could only operate on the outermost layer of the Sea of Origin, and could not withstand the powerful pressure inside the Sea of Origin.
Only the Jade Emperor and the Wind Flame God King, with the blessing of their celestial status, can move freely in the central part of the Origin Sea of the Heavenly Origin Holy Realm, but cannot approach its interior.
The power that these extraordinary eighth-level experts received as a reward from the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm after sacrificing that middle-thousand-world-level universe was just right to solve the problem they were facing.
Based on the information in their minds, these extraordinary eighth-level powerhouses knew that when they entered the Sea of Origin of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm to comprehend various Great Dao rules...
This mysterious power surging into their bodies will relieve them of half the pressure in the Sea of Origin for a period of a hundred years.
After that power disappeared, even if they were in the deeper primordial ocean, they would only be repelled by the powerful pressure to a place where they could survive, without suffering any harm.
Faced with the inexplicable energy surging into their bodies, and after learning about its powerful effects...
How could the two Abyss Lords, who had been fighting endlessly in the abyss and had endured countless brutal battles to reach their current level, not be so excited?
As for why the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm did not reward these extraordinary 8th-level powerhouses when they sacrificed themselves to those beings of equal rank in the Roland Great World, it remains to be seen.
This is because, although absorbing everything of an eighth-level extraordinary expert would greatly enhance the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, it would be more beneficial than absorbing a universe of the middle thousand world level.
However, the improvement Yuan Hao received after devouring a Transcendent Level 8 expert was not as great as the improvement he received after devouring everything in the Heavenly Dao of a Middle Thousand World.
It could even be said that now that the Tianyuan Sacred Realm has grown to such a massive scale, devouring a Transcendent Eighth-Tier expert would not bring Yuan Hao the slightest improvement whatsoever.
On the contrary, if he devours some Heavenly Dao that is similar to Yuan Hao in essence, even if it is just the Heavenly Dao of a minor world, Yuan Hao's strength can still be slightly improved after devouring the essence of the Heavenly Dao.
This is also why these extraordinary level 8 powerhouses from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm felt that the rewards they received after sacrificing some powerhouses of the same level as them, although better than sacrificing this Middle Thousand World, were far less effective.
Meanwhile, the two Abyss Lords discovered that after they expressed their desire to join the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor had not given them a definite answer, but instead had been looking at them with a very strange gaze.
After the two Abyss Lords discussed the matter privately via telepathy, the younger brother of the two spoke to the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you must believe us. We truly wish to join the Heavenly Court. Our past actions against you, including attacking the Demon Realm under your command to distract the Heavenly Court, were all orchestrated by the Wind Flame God King."
“Yes, Your Majesty, my brother is right. We used to only want to stay in the Abyss and didn’t want to oppose you. But the Wind Flame God King and the other Abyss armies forced us brothers to attack your Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm under your command. We really didn’t want this. You really have to believe us.”
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, what my elder brother said is true. The Wind Flame God King used to give us advice on how to attack your Heavenly Court and how to attack the various Demon Kings in the Demon Realm to distract the Heavenly Court."
As the two Abyss Lords spoke these words back and forth, the Wind Flame God King looked at them with some disbelief, thinking to himself.
"What are you two talking about? After our Pantheon allied with your Abyss, I clearly told you not to oppose the Heavenly Court and not to cause any friction with it."
"The other Abyss Lords also agreed with what I said. It was clearly you two who, as soon as you heard about the alliance, ran off to attack the Demon Realm, and we couldn't persuade you to come back."
"The Jade Emperor and the other powerful beings should be able to distinguish right from wrong and wouldn't believe the nonsense of these two."
"Yes, that's definitely the case. Everyone should be able to see that these two are distorting the truth and talking nonsense. No one should believe their words, and everyone should know the truth of the matter."
He watched as the two continued to berate him and slander the other Abyss Lords.
The two Abyss Lords, openly pleading for refuge before the Jade Emperor, were silently thinking to the Wind Flame God King.

Chapter 179 I Believe in You
"Something's not right. Why are those powerful figures around me looking at me with such strange eyes, and with an expression that is both enlightened and disdainful?"
The Wind Flame God King realized that the situation around him seemed a bit bad. These powerful figures, who were at the same level as him, seemed to have easily believed the words of those two bastards who were spouting nonsense.
"What does it mean that the Jade Emperor and the Demon Lord looked at me with such murderous eyes, and seemed to want to attack me?"
"Please listen to my explanation, everyone. These two are completely spouting lies and distorting the truth. It was clearly..."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the Wind Flame God King quickly spoke up to explain, and told the several extraordinary level 8 experts present in detail about some matters after the Pantheon and the Abyss formed an alliance, hoping to clear up this misunderstanding.
"Wind Flame God King, what's wrong with you? You can't wrong me and my elder brother. You were the one who ordered us to attack the Demon Realm. My elder brother and I disagreed, and you attacked me and my elder brother."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, this Wind Flame God King is very wicked. He even tried to slander us brothers. We brothers clearly disagreed with coming to attack your Heavenly Court and the Demon Lord's Demon Realm."
"It was the Wind Flame God King who forced us to take action. At that time, the Wind Flame God King even used force to coerce us brothers. We two brothers were no match for the Wind Flame God King, and the other great lords in the abyss did not help us. We had no choice but to come and attack your Heavenly Court."
"Moreover, Your Majesty, you must believe us brothers. As you know, we abyssal demons never lie. It is the gods who like to deceive people."
"Moreover, the Demon Lord can testify for us. We have been dealing with the Abyss and the Demon Realm for so many years. The Demon Lord can prove that we demons of the Abyss never lie. Those who like to use all kinds of schemes and tricks to deceive people are the evil gods who came to our Abyss from the Heavenly Realm."
Seeing that the powerful figures present had focused their attention on him, the Demon Lord subconsciously nodded, acknowledging the words of the two Abyss Lords.
Upon seeing this, the Wind Flame God King felt an even stronger urge to kill the two Abyss Lords on the spot. How could they be so blatantly distorting the truth?
