Golden lotuses sprouted from the ground. Real dragons lowered their heads and heavenly phoenixes prostrated.
The silhouette stood with his hands behind his back. His demeanor was that of an emperor. All nine levels of heaven and 10 levels of hell looked up to him.
His eyes were deep and experienced as he stared at Ling Xian, "Eight Immortal Bones, nine undefeatable realms, you have the blood of the Lord of Pan, and you have the three strongest paths. How rare."
"You are flattering me. Dare I ask, how long will it take for the eight immortals to revive?" Ling Xian squinted his eyes, wanting to know the Ninth Immortal's identity.
When the eight immortals awakened, they were very weak. Even the Keeper of Land and Sea and the Immortal of Thieves were merely of the original level.
After all, the Ninth Immortal was a remnant soul and couldn't be too powerful.
Yet the Ninth Immortal's strength was comparable to a cultivator with a flawless foundation. It was obvious how extraordinary he was.
"At least a thousand years."
"They were originally remnant souls. They burned their souls to borrow strength. They were lucky enough to not die."
The Ninth Immortal softly sighed, "If I am not wrong, the Grass of Fortune saved them."
"That's right. The Grass of Fortune, the Spiritual Root of All Creation, the Flower of Life, and the Ghost Faced Flower of Hell, these four spiritual medicines protected the eight immortals' souls." Ling Xian sighed. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad.
It was a good thing that the eight immortals could wake up. But they had to wait a thousand years. If the universe was peaceful, then even ten thousand years wouldn't be a problem.
But Tian Yuan cannot last a thousand years. At most, in a hundred years, the Holy Realm will invade the universe. When that happens, would the eight immortals still wake up?
Impossible.
The difference in capabilities was far too great. Once the Holy Realm's army arrives, everyone, including Ling Xian, will only have two paths.
Either they die, or they become puppets controlled by the Heavenly Dao.
"The Grass of Fortune once followed me. If I didn't get ambushed, it would be by my side right now." The Ninth Immortal exclaimed.
Followed?
Ling Xian was a little startled. Immortal spiritual medicines were rare. In the entire universe, they could be counted on one hand.
Therefore, anyone who could make an immortal spiritual medicine follow them must be an extraordinary character.
For example, the Flower of Life once followed the Second Immortal, who was a powerhouse no weaker than the Sky Rulers.
The Ninth Immortal was able to make the Divine Grass of Creation follow him willingly. One could imagine just how incredible of an existence he was. Even the Keeper of Land and Sea might not be as powerful as him.
"You should really want to know my identity, right?" The Ninth Immortal placed his hands behind his back. Celestial light swirled around him, and he did not reveal his true appearance.
"Immortals are always exuding extraordinariness. Of course I want to know." Ling Xian grinned, "Please reveal your identity and reveal your true face."
"I've long forgotten my name. Everyone in the world calls me Immortal King Aotian," the Ninth Immortal calmly spoke. The traces of immortal light dissipated, revealing his true appearance.
It was a handsome face that was chiseled by a knife. It was exactly the same as the Ao Tian Immortal King Ling Xian saw in the Valley of Worries.
Ling Xian was startled. Not even in his dreams did he think that the last immortal would be the legendary Ao Tian.
His identities were as numerous as the hairs on a cow. For example, he was the first ruler of the Heavenly Court, the owner of the Heavenly Emperor Seal, and the most widely known was that he was the greatest traitor in all of history.
Millions of years ago, the world of immortals no longer existed and all living beings lived in one world.
During that era, there were five immortal kings who ruled the world. There was the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth, the Immortal King of Crouching Dragon, the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth, the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth, the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth.
The five immortal kings were also known as the five Sky Rulers. Out of them, Ao Tian was the strongest, followed by the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth. The other three immortal kings had similar capabilities.
The five of them ruled the world. Under their rule, the world was at peace and no weapons could be seen.
However, one day, the Holy Realm's army arrived. There were no less than 30 holy ancestors.
The leaders of the army were the nine holy rulers. Every single one of them was extremely powerful and could fight against the five Sky Rulers. They were the true powerhouses of the world!
What was even more troublesome was that the strongest of the five Sky Rulers, Ao Tian, betrayed them.
He teamed up with the nine holy rulers and surrounded the four Sky Rulers. This made the situation even worse and made the situation even more dangerous.
With the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth as the leader, although they fought a bloody battle, the difference in combat ability was too great and they were no match for the Holy Realm.
In the face of danger, the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth made a decision. He wanted to open up a world and send all the races away.
At the time, all the races in the world would undoubtedly lose. If they fought to the end, they would be completely wiped out.
Therefore, the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth burned his own immortal foundation and split the original world in half.
One half was the world's races, the other half was the four peerless immortal kings.
They fought against the nine holy rulers and fought against Ao Tian. They fought to the death and protected all living beings.
That battle caused the sky to fall and the earth to crack. No words could accurately describe the tragedy of that battle.
Just as the four great immortal kings were in a state of death, Immortal King of the World went crazy. At the cost of his soul being destroyed, he unleashed the first sealing technique of all time!
This technique was mysterious and no one knew its name. All they knew was that its power was unparalleled and it sealed the five holy rulers!
Plus, this technique also formed an unbreakable barrier that completely separated the two worlds!
Before he died, Immortal King of the World borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao and used the legendary first God's Trial to heavily injure the two holy rulers.
At this point, the battle was balanced. Both sides had three powerhouses.
Sadly, in the end, the Heavenly Emperor of Heaven and Earth and the other immortal kings lost.
If there were only two holy rulers, the three Heavenly Emperors wouldn't have lost. Even if they fought one on one, they would be able to kill the two holy rulers.
But Immortal King Ao Tian was far too powerful. He was the strongest out of the five Heavenly Emperors. Even if he fought against the four Heavenly Emperors alone, he wouldn't lose!
Therefore, the three immortal kings died in battle. But before they died, they also heavily injured the two holy rulers, forcing the Sanctuary to retreat.
At this point, the shocking battle came to an end and ended with the death of the four great immortal kings.
After the death of the four Heavenly Emperors, their immortal blood completed the Heavenly Dao. The undying energy turned into the substance of immortality, allowing all living beings in this world to live forever.
At this point, the world of immortals was born.
If Immortal King Ao Tian didn't betray them, the four Heavenly Emperors wouldn't have died in battle and all living beings wouldn't have been forced to go to another world.
This wasn't an exaggeration. Immortal King Ao Tian was heaven-defying. Other than Pan Gu Hong Jun, he could be called the strongest in the universe.
With his undefeated capabilities against the four Heavenly Emperors, it wasn't difficult for him to stop the four holy rulers.
Sadly, Immortal King Ao Tian betrayed the universe.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was the biggest traitor since the beginning of time and the most hated person by all living beings.
Compared to him, the Fallen Immortals, who also betrayed the universe, weren't considered traitors.
Therefore, when he found out the Ninth Immortal was Immortal King Ao Tian, Ling Xian was stunned. Only after a long while did he regain himself.
"I cannot believe the Ninth Immortal I have been waiting to see is the biggest traitor since the beginning of time." Ling Xian's expression was heavy like water. He could forgive the Fallen Immortals, but he would never forgive Immortal King Ao Tian.
Though the former defected to the Sanctuary, he merely watched and didn't harm the universe. Immortal King Ao Tian, on the other hand, indirectly caused the death of the four Heavenly Emperors. How could he forgive him?
"It seems like you know fake history." Immortal King Ao Tian shook his head and chuckled.
"Fake history …" Ling Xian frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. The ancient history that you know is fake."
Immortal King Ao Tian softly smiled, "There were traitors, but they weren't me."
