Chapter 1828
Xiao Ta's voice rang out at the right moment, interrupting Chen Xuan's excitement.
“Every cultivator has their own opportunities. In ancient times, the Immortal Era, and even in this era, powerful beings have left behind their legacies when they fell. Perhaps some inconspicuous cultivator will suddenly obtain the relics of a powerful being from the Immortal Era, and their combat power will skyrocket.”
After a pause, Xiaota changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious:
"Your current strength is indeed top-tier among those in the Void Returning Realm, Celestial Immortal Realm, and even True Immortal Realm of this era. But in the Immortal Ancient Era, any killing treasure crafted from the origin of the Great Dao could easily annihilate you. Don't be complacent because of this achievement."
Chen Xuan's smile vanished instantly, and he nodded solemnly: "I've remembered it, and I will never be complacent."
"The space you are currently in is still far from the Imperial Pass, and can be considered the outer perimeter of the cultivator civilization."
Xiao Ta continued to transmit his voice, which now carried a hint of weariness.
"When you reach the core of the universe and become the first line of defense for cultivator civilization, you must be extremely careful. During the decisive battle at the Immortal Ancient Imperial Pass, many of our powerful figures were infiltrated and ambushed by the strange race, resulting in heavy losses."
"Later, those powerful weapon refiners at the level of Dao Lord of Life and Death spared no expense in sacrificing their own essence to refine countless killing magic weapons for desperate use—some of these magic weapons were made from the day they were forged to perish together with the strange race."
"Think about it, once those magical treasures are unleashed, one has to burn their own life essence, and even their primordial spirit will dissipate. How terrifying must the power of such a killing move, which is unleashed without regard for the cost, be?"
Xiaota's voice gradually lowered, as if she were lost in memories—
That was in the early stages of the decisive battle at the Imperial Pass. The God Kings, Immortal Kings, and Dao Lords who served as the vanguard were giving important instructions to their juniors in front of them, saying that they wanted future generations to remember their most glorious battle.
Then, they burned their essence, their primordial spirit, and their life's cultivation, transforming into billions of dazzling fire meteors, rushing down the Imperial Pass without hesitation and heading towards the camp of the strange race.
“Those Immortal Kings and Dao Lords of Life and Death, once they rush down the Imperial Pass, will not survive for more than a quarter of an hour. If they fail to take one or two strange creatures down with them within that quarter of an hour, they will not only be letting down their billions of years of cultivation, but also bringing shame to their sect.”
Xiao Ta's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"So Chen Xuan, you must remember that many exceptionally talented Dao Lords are extremely madmen—they would not even value their lives in order to protect civilization or for that sliver of opportunity to merge with the Dao."
Chen Xuan listened quietly without interrupting.
Through the small tower's description, he seemed to see countless figures burning themselves on the Imperial Pass that spanned the Milky Way, rushing towards the enemy like moths to a flame.
He could feel the resolute determination of those who knew they were going to die but still went without hesitation; he could also imagine the brutality of that final battle—every second, a powerful figure who had once dominated the region would fall.
"Do you know? Out of a million fourth-step Dao Lords, only one or two can achieve the Eternal Realm through Dao Integration." The little tower's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"Too many Dao Lords stop at the fourth step of Dao Lord, exhausting their endless lifespan, and still cannot touch the threshold of Dao Integration. Some Dao Lords are unwilling to accept this and forcibly attempt Dao Integration despite the dangers, resulting in their immediate death and Dao dissipation; some Dao Lords go astray before Dao Integration and become demons who slaughter living beings."
"There are also Dao Lords who, for that elusive opportunity to merge with the Dao, chase after evil cultivators everywhere, accumulating millions of feet of golden light of merit, but in the end they still fail to merge with the Dao, their true spirits gradually dissipate, and they can only wait for death to come."
Xiao Ta's gaze fell on Chen Xuan, her tone heavy:
"The Dao Lords of Life and Death, each with four steps, tread on the line between life and death. Before the decisive battle at the Imperial Pass, these Dao Lords were the most eager to participate in the battle—they all wanted to find that opportunity to merge with the Dao in the bloody slaughter, achieve the Eternal Realm, and live as long as the heavens."
"But what was the result?" Xiaota paused, then gave Chen Xuan a set of numbers that made his scalp tingle. "Among the ten imperial passes, the number of Dao Lords who charged down the passes after the battle was a staggering 460 million."
