"The four Immortal Emperors first erupted into a brutal battle in the upper realms. That battle, even after a millennium, still seems bloody and extre to the point of atrocity. To seize resources, the four Immortal Emperors fought fiercely, disregarding their status, and directly slaughtered the subordinates of their opponents who were far weaker than them!"
"And the Loose Cultivators, who didn't belong to the four Immortal Emperors, were almost completely wiped out! The blood dyed the entire upper realm red. Countless cultivators who had just stepped into the upper realm hadn't even had the chance to cheer for setting foot in such a treasure land before they turned into nothing but ashes! In that battle, almost seventy percent of the cultivators in the upper realm perished! Even the thirty-seven layers of heaven below were reduced by four layers!"
Thirty-seven layers of heaven? Reduced by four layers?
Although that great battle happened a thousand years ago, and now it's rely recounted as a story from the mouth of Li Long, Xu Fan still felt his scalp tingling!
Previously, Xu Fan had no actual concept of the power of an Immortal Emperor, only knowing they were very strong, but not to what extent.
And now, through the storytelling of Li Long, Xu Fan found his answer.
They could literally flatten a portion of the world! And not just any ordinary plane!
And the story from Li Long's mouth continued with his voice, "Now it seems that the battle was perhaps pre-arranged by the four Immortal Emperors. After that battle, all threats to the four Immortal Emperors and those who didn't submit were completely obliterated, with no exceptions..."
"That battle even stirred us in the Eastern Star Domain. Eleven brothers, harmonious for a thousand years, suddenly had a huge split over this. The third brother believed that humanity's desire for slaughter was too strong and ambitious, certain to have a great war with the Eastern Star Domain. Instead of watching it grow continuously, it would be better to strike while they were weak, slay the four Immortal Emperors, and take over the upper realm to establish a new order."
"Many people actually agreed with these thoughts deep in their hearts, I could tell. But several brothers have always only followed my orders. Yet, I hesitated... The Dragon Domain has never actively invaded other star domains, and to take advantage of others' misfortune, I despise it even more. If only I had been more resolute back then, perhaps everything would have been different..."
"Even at that ti, most of us still did not put the four Immortal Emperors in our eyes. Compared to humans, our existence is more ancient, more gifted, and our inheritance more complete. And it was for this reason that we soon paid a heavy price..."
Earlier, upon hearing the terrifying combat power of the four Immortal Emperors, Xu Fan was already a little alard, and now, hearing about the ans they used to eliminate opposition, Xu Fan once again felt a chill rushing straight to his head.
To eliminate dissent and remove the threats that challenged their position, the four Immortal Emperors orchestrated a show, united with such deep cunning and venomous thods that even Xu Fan was far from matching them.
In front of the ambitious and ruthless thods of the four Immortal Emperors, the hesitating and indecisive Li Long naturally t a predictable end.
"The four Immortal Emperors slaughtered each other, and almost all the Immortal Venerable level subordinates were wiped out, the exceptionally talented and stunning geniuses were not spared either. In contrast, the four Immortal Emperors appeared to be fighting with bloodlust, yet none were fundantally hard. Soon, the four Immortal Emperors silently restored their strength, even further advancing with the infinite concentration and control of resources."
"And the Dragon Domain, usually peaceful, fell into chaos and division due to a small dispute previously. The third brother beca unusually irritable, almost quarreling and even fighting with the brothers whenever they t, and I tried to diate by silently drinking, unwilling to reconcile with the brothers."
"The Dragon Domain was shrouded in a layer of gloom, and what happened next was no less than a thunderbolt in a clear sky! Little Eleven, who had the closest relationship with the third brother, suddenly died violently. Little Eleven was the youngest among us, yet the most gifted. Given ti and enough foundational support, Little Eleven was very likely to break into a new realm! But no one expected that Little Eleven would die in the territory of the seventh brother, right after an argunt with the third brother!"
Xu Fan shook his head and sighed. Previously, Xu Fan had been puzzled why, if Li Long originally had eleven brothers, the Ice Palace only housed ten Ferocious Beasts. Unexpectedly, one had already died a thousand years ago.
Evidently, all of this was a sche by the four Immortal Emperors. The long-dead Little Eleven probably never imagined that he was just the beginning of the tragedy...
"The third brother, red-eyed and heedless, directly sought to fight the seventh brother to the death. Several brothers tried to persuade him, but were wounded by the third brother's blows. The seventh brother, arriving back and still in a haze, stood stunned in place, was heavily injured and vomited blood by the third brother, yet did not retaliate."
"I rushed over upon hearing the news, controlling the frenzied third brother, and questioned the seventh brother. The seventh brother defended himself, claiming to have been invited elsewhere and not in his territory, yet strangely, Little Eleven's body had the seventh brother's claw marks, and even the aura was identical. Faced with these irrefutable evidences, the seventh brother didn't speak, and quietly sealed himself into the forbidden grounds, not leaving until the truth was revealed to the world."
"Little Eleven was our hope, the most likely to break through to Immortal Emperor, stepping into a realm we had never reached, and he was the most docile during ordinary days. Little Eleven's death in the seventh brother's territory hit us hard, even I was muddled for a ti. The ever-harmonious Dragon Domain turned into complete chaos, with the clans starting fights and slaughtering each other, especially within the Dragon Clan. It's ridiculous that as the Dragon Ancestor, I knew nothing of it."
"Now, of course, we all know it was the humans' conspiracy all along. Even more ridiculous was that none of us suspected the humans. After the great battle in the upper realm, humans whose strength was already inferior to ours suffered heavy losses. We were all blinded by that battle."
Li Long's voice began to turn hoarse. Even after a millennium, recounting this story was still not easy for Li Long, but despite this, his voice continued.
"Brother turned against brother, and the chaos worsened. The Eastern Dragon Domain, which never regarded the four Immortal Emperors, was gradually defeated by them one by one! More ironically, until the final mont, we were still toyed with by the four Immortal Emperors, having all the strength yet nowhere to use it, ultimately landing in this state..."
The story ended, Xu Fan shook his head, speechless at Li Long's hesitation and indecision, but what was even stronger was his profound dread for the four Immortal Emperors.
The ignorant know no fear; previously, Xu Fan gave enough attention to the four Immortal Emperors but never revered them.
And now, Xu Fan's dread of the four Immortal Emperors had escalated to an imasurable level. The four Immortal Emperors were far more cunning than Xu Fan had ever imagined!
