We agreed to go to Taishan Sect and you will pull the coffin for me.

Chapter 386 A Being at the End of the Road Knocks on the Gate

The land trembled, and a bizarre being at the end of the road awakened.

His decaying body, seemingly sinister, stood atop the boundless plateau, where all the strange races bowed in worship, and even the Dark Ancestor slightly lowered his head.

"After millions of years, have the beings of this era flourished again? It is time to hold a grand celestial sacrifice."

This powerful being at the end of the road whispered, sensing that in that blurry primordial heaven, the Dao Ancestor had finally been born after so many years, and even the 'desolate' realm could not sever its birth world.

Thinking of this, he glanced warily in another direction, where the three terrifying progenitors were fiercely battling a towering figure, traversing the endless chaotic sea, transcending countless times and spaces, in an eternal struggle.

In the previous era, a change occurred: the Pollen Empress and the Desolate Heaven Emperor. The latter single-handedly fought against the strange plateau, causing chaos and destruction. Several strange immortal emperors died more than once, and even the three great ancestors were restrained.

The Mysterious Plateau has countless progenitors, but the Mysterious Immortal Emperor doesn't know how many, but at most one or two are still asleep.

Therefore, he was filled with anxiety, as if he had a thorn in his side, and had an ominous premonition that the land of calamity would be destroyed. The woman in the golden dress and the three dark emperors were sent out by him to specifically suppress Huang, but he did not expect that they would fail and that the Dao Ancestor would be born in that primordial heaven.

"In that case, I'll take action myself."

The eerie Immortal Emperor looked at the sword light above the primordial heavens with extreme apprehension.

If Lu Heng knew what the Strange Immortal Emperor was thinking, he would probably shake his head and laugh. The information of the ten progenitors was hidden in the Calamity Land. Not only did the Desolate Heaven Emperor not find out, but even the Strange Immortal Emperor did not know. This is why the several Immortal Emperors had unnecessary worries.

Moreover, even the Mysterious Immortal Emperors themselves were unaware of secrets such as 'the Mysterious Clan will always have only ten progenitors and ten Immortal Emperors, with the latter serving as candidates for the former, and the latter being able to ascend to the throne at any time upon the death of the former.'

However, there are only ten strange Immortal Emperors, but there are many servant Immortal Emperors who have been corrupted by darkness. Most of them are similar to the Corpse Immortal Emperors, and they were transformed from the primordial heavens. Their numbers are still quite considerable.

The reason why the Desolate Emperor was able to hold out until Ye Fan and his two companions grew up was ultimately because the Strange Ancestor was too arrogant and regarded all living beings as a game.

That's true. The existence of the Mysterious Plateau is like a resurrection point. The Mysterious Ancestor and the Mysterious Immortal Emperor are immortal; they possess an additional layer of immortality compared to ordinary Immortal Emperors. This is the difference between the Mysterious race and the races of the heavens. Coupled with the sheer number and quality of the powerful beings born over countless eras, how could they possibly care about variables?

Perhaps, for the progenitor of the strange, Huang's appearance was a spice to add to the countless dull years. A darker idea was to have Huang take charge of eliminating some of the strange immortal emperors, since the latter were, to some extent, competitors.

Some of the mysterious Immortal Emperors who either had ideas or realized the truth were eliminated, and over countless years, this secret was completely buried.

All of this has nothing to do with the mysterious Immortal Emperor. He wants to launch a grand sacrifice, but he doesn't even know the meaning of the grand sacrifice or who he is to offer sacrifices to. He only knows that he can gain benefits from the grand sacrifice.

Even within the Immortal Emperor level, strength varies greatly. Some use metaphors like mice, cats, tigers, and giant tyrannosaurus dragons to describe the differences between each level, with the gap between each level being exaggeratedly large. It is possible to easily and eternally annihilate even the strongest beings at the first level (as set in the original work).

He wasn't particularly strong; he had only been a strange immortal emperor for a short time, having just entered the cat level. The Great Sacrifice was precisely the way to trigger evolution without any side effects.

Even reaching the level of a Celestial Emperor, it's possible to gain even the slightest growth over billions of years. Everyone would be captivated by the feeling of rapid evolution during a Grand Sacrifice.

The grand ceremony still took place.

The eerie Immortal Emperor awakened an endless dark army in the Calamity Land. Gray fog, black fog, and blood fog that blotted out the sky surged up, invading countless realms and corrupting living beings and powerful beings. Moreover, a vast and magnificent blood-red altar was dragged by chains, slowly heading towards the primordial heavens.

Blood and fire reignited, and countless lives wept and wailed.

Soon, several Dark Immortal Emperors arrived outside the Boundary Sea, their swords piercing the heavens and earth, blocking everything. Some gray mist, black mist, and blood mist managed to seep in, but most were blocked. "Desolation!"

The leading, eerie Immortal Emperor coldly stared at the sword light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth. If it were the previous era, the Immortal Emperor's sword light wouldn't have been able to stop them. But Huang had grown rapidly during that battle in the heavens. From becoming an Immortal Emperor, he evolved into a ferocious tiger, a tyrannical dragon, and finally succeeded in the final battle, single-handedly restraining the three progenitors. The sword light he left behind was not something an Immortal Emperor could handle.

"Unfortunately, your true form is restrained by our clan's ancestor, so how much power can you retain?"

At his command, several Dark Immortal Emperors and more than a dozen Dao Ancestors joined forces, unleashing boundless sacrificial power that continuously washed over the sword light that had dominated for millennia.

Rumble!
The Boundary Sea trembled, and a certain oppressive atmosphere permeated the Eternal Great Realm and the Heaven-Covering Universe.

All the powerful figures looked in shock at the light curtain of the boundary sea, where one after another, towering demonic figures stood, blotting out the sky. Even though they were separated by vast distances of time and space, their primordial spirits and physical bodies trembled. Even just the thought of them made them feel the urge to fall.

At this moment, Lu Heng, Ye Fan, Wu Shi, and the others, who had just returned from the River of Time, looked at this scene with solemn expressions. It was truly despairing. Not to mention the several Immortal Emperors, there were also more than a dozen Quasi-Immortal Emperors. The mere fact that the latter joined forces to attack them was enough to make them die.

Wushi said in a low voice, "A hopeless future."

"They really think highly of us." Ye Fan sighed, "Emperor Huangtian is only facing a corpse Immortal Emperor, an incomplete Immortal Emperor."

Such a grand sacrificial ceremony was only ever performed by the heavens.

The Empress remained calm and said softly, "It's nothing more than a battle."

The three of them quickly adjusted their mindset, firmly believing that they could overcome all difficulties and suppress all enemies.

Lu Heng wasn't so burdened. With the Eternal Immortal Court at his disposal, he could attack or defend as he pleased. He said, "There should be two more Immortal Emperors above the heavens. Perhaps we can go and draw their aid."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the others' expressions shifted slightly, and they said, "Since the era of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the heavens have been hidden. Who can discover their location?"

"I have a way to plant pollen to evolve the path, thereby locating the heavens. Not only that, but I can also cooperate with the arrangements of the Desolate Emperor to resurrect a true Immortal Emperor, or perhaps even perform a ritual to revive the Dao."

Lu Heng said, flipping his hand to take out a wrinkled seed.

Ye Fan and the others pondered the matter and agreed that it made sense. However, they would not place their hopes on others and would continue to cultivate and improve themselves.

The Empress's eyes swept over the seed as she examined it, and she commented, "It's quite extraordinary. It possesses the aura of an Immortal Emperor. If a peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to refine it, it would be enough to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and its foundation would be flawless."

Despite this, none of the three had any desire to refine it, and they disdained to rely on external objects.

Moreover, for this seed to blossom, it needs fertile soil of the Celestial Emperor level, a type of terrain that is extremely rare in the Boundary Sea.

The entire universe and the Eternal Immortal Realm, at best, are only spiritual lands at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.
