Even Long Shengnan revealed a puzzled expression.
She had heard Long Baxia mention that before, but he would not tell her the details, as if it was a taboo.
"I understand what you're saying!"
Jiang Tian smiled and said casually, "The Immortal Ruins were once close to the Immortal Ruins.
"Back then, there were many worlds in the Ruins of Immortality that were originally near the ancient Earth. The ancient sages pushed those worlds across four light years and billions of kilometers into the South Gate Galaxy. The trajectories of the stars and the constellations in the Milky Way changed slightly. The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was also different from before!"
"As the saying goes, Dao follows nature. Cultivation is about taking the creation of Heaven and Earth and making use of nature. The environment has changed, but they're still using the original cultivation arts. Of course, they're backward and incomplete, unable to mobilize the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and activate the laws of Heaven and Earth!
"But the descendants of the Ruins Emperor like the Hundred Moon Academy are different. The Ruins Emperor was a native of the twin stars by the southern gate to begin with. What you cultivate in is also a cultivation technique that the Ruins Emperor left behind. It is compatible with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and resonates with it. Naturally, you can borrow the Heaven and Earth powers to the greatest extent, allowing you to crush other worlds! "
"That's not obvious for Golden Core Perfected Cultivators. Golden Core Cultivators can only attack with their Dharma Form, but it's especially obvious for Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords and Soul Formation Grand Cultivators. That's because Dharma Laws and Great Dao come from nature.
"That's one of the reasons why Emperor Sheng, Zhong Li, Ao Emperor and the other ancient sages couldn't defeat the Ruins Emperor back then.
Soul Formation Cultivators had already abandoned Spirit Stones and absorbed the energy of the universe of a higher level to be strengthened by Heaven and Earth, becoming Acquired Gods.
To put it simply, their power came from the Constellation Galaxy. These changes in the environment were fatal to a Divine Transformation cultivator. They had to change their cultivation arts, or their cultivation would only be one-tenth of their original level.
"This kid is really a monster! You even understand this point and have thought it through! "
Hearing that, Qin Shuang was shocked and his face changed. Even Chancellor Ku Mu was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Long Shengnan was also surprised.
Is it not because our bloodline is inferior to the Ruins Emperor's, but because our cultivation arts are not as compatible with Heaven and Earth as theirs?
"If that's the case, do you still want to be my enemy?"
Deadwood Sovereign took a step forward.
Almost unimaginably terrifying ripples spread out from his body like ripples.
At first, it was still very small. His sleeves were fluttering, and no one felt any discomfort. But in the blink of an eye, it became bigger and bigger, and a huge pressure descended from the sky.
Rumble!
Everyone felt as if there were mountains pressing down on them. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Long Shengnan would not be able to withstand it.
In the void, the sound of countless Chains of Law being torn apart could be heard. A terrifying shadow rushed out from behind Lord Driedwood.
It was a withered giant tree. The giant tree was several thousand feet tall, and it seemed to be able to pierce through the heavens.
The withered giant tree was pitch-black and heavy, as if it was forged from iron. It flickered with a frightening cold light, and countless branches of various shapes and sizes shot out from the sides. Some were like halberds, some were like sharp swords, and some were like heavenly blades. They were indestructible and unstoppable. A bloodthirsty aura of slaughter descended from the heavens. With a plop, countless Golden Core cultivators knelt on the ground.
"This is …"
Even Long Shengnan was shocked. She felt a power of Law and looked up with difficulty.
"This tree is much more powerful than Azure Thearch Chen's Green Jade Tree. It was a Spirit Tree planted by Jiao Rui, the second Emperor of the Ao Emperor's era. It has a lifespan of ten thousand years and is born with a protective Divine Power. Its body is so strong that not even a supreme-grade True Artifact can hurt it. It became the right-hand man of the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor! "
Heavenly Lord Deadwood straightened his body and his unkempt look completely disappeared. He was full of energy and a powerful pressure of Law was released.
At this moment, his face was filled with arrogance. Only now did he reveal the great divine ability of the Hundred Moons Academy's Chancellor and the overwhelming majesty of an unparalleled Heavenly Monarch.
He cracked a vicious smile and said.
"In the end, it was captured by the Emperor of the Ruins during the battle for the deity ground. It was refined by the Emperor of the Ruins for thousands of years and was finally made into a supreme-grade True Artifact. The Emperor of the Ruins gave it to me when I became the Chancellor of the Hundred Moons Academy. I refined it for thousands of years and combined it with my Golden Core. Over the past few hundred years, there were at least seventeen Nascent Soul Cultivators and Beast Cultivators who died under this tree, if not twenty. Do you really want to make things difficult for me? "
"Roar!"
A human face appeared in the center of the trunk of the giant tree behind him. Its crimson red eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Tian. It opened its mouth and roared, emitting an endless smell of blood. It was extremely terrifying.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even Long Shengnan exclaimed and Long Pojun was enraged.
Legend had it that the migration of the deity ground to the South Gate Twin Stars took a long time. Not even Soul Formation Grand Cultivators could survive that long.
The name "Ao Emperor" actually referred to a dynasty, an era when Grand Cultivators of the Monsters became the main force. It didn't just refer to an ancient Emperor or Ao Emperor himself.
Ao Emperor's real name was Ao Wuchang. After Emperor Sheng passed the throne to Zhong Li and Emperor Zhong Li, he had once destroyed the Path of Heaven and Earth with a slash of his sword. He had also realized the interstellar wandering of the deity ground and migrated to the South Gate Twin Stars Galaxy.
But during Ao Emperor's time, he had many successors and a few Emperors of the Monsters.
Most of the time, Ao Wuchang would go into hibernation to preserve his energy and power, prolonging his life. It was like hibernation during a space voyage.
As for the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor Jiao Rui, he was a famous and powerful Emperor Successor, and was the representative appointed by the Ao Sovereign himself.
Rumor had it that he was extremely talented and his bloodline wasn't much weaker than Ao Wuchang's.
During the long journey in the universe, he had once fought his way into the void with only his physical body, crossed tens of thousands of miles, and fought against extremely brutal and unknown creatures. He had once killed dozens of Divine Transformation Realm giants and destroyed an ancient starship by himself. His battle achievements were glorious.
That battle had shocked the world.
That battle had shocked an entire era.
After the deity ground entered the orbit of the South Gate Twin Stars, the natives of the South Gate Twin Stars, including the Ruins Emperor, suddenly attacked and started a shocking battle with the natives of the deity ground.
That was an era of great changes. Everything was unstable. The deity ground had entered a strange environment after billions of miles of voyage. The trajectories of the planets had changed and the Constellation Galaxy was completely different from what it used to be.
Besides, the Spirit Qi was greatly consumed during the voyage. The planets that had entered the orbit had braked and changed direction, causing the world to change drastically. Mulberry fields turned into oceans, trenches rose into volcanoes, countless continents collapsed and earthquakes lasted for hundreds of days.
For the natives of the deity ground who had just arrived in the South Gate Galaxy, that era was called the "Era of Lack of Dao!"
All the cultivators were affected, like tourists who couldn't get used to a foreign place.
The Divine Powers of the natives of the deity ground were already unnatural and extremely difficult. Their strength had been reduced to a tenth of what it used to be and they could only fight with their bodies. They were almost unable to use Dharma Forms, Divine Powers, forbidden regions and territories.
It was said that Emperor Zhong Li had already gone missing at that time. Ao Emperor and many other Emperors didn't wake up, which was caused by the great changes in the world. Even the awakening arrays had collapsed.
Jiao Rui, the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, was the only one who woke up.
He was extremely lonely and surrounded by countless Overlords, but he wasn't scared at all. He fought the Ruins Emperor and many other super Overlords alone, successfully killing more than thirty Soul Formation Overlords and severely injuring his enemies.
Even though he failed on the verge of success, he was still remembered by later generations. His name was passed down through the ages. Even now, mentioning it was still an unmatched taboo in the great Ruins of Immortality.
The ancient tree of Heavenly Lord Deadwood was a Spirit Tree planted by the ancient Saint Jiao Rui himself. How terrifying would a tree demon that had been carefully cultivated be?
Besides, after being refined by the Ruins Emperor and Heavenly Lord Deadwood, its Divine Powers were unimaginably powerful.
When Long Shengnan and Long Pojun finished telling them everything they knew, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
