Chapter 338: Chapter 187: Marrying Yao Xi, Empress Huanyue’s Fury! The Origin of the Catastrophe! Empress Yuanchu Enjoys the Drama!_5
Upon her first encounter with these top-secret records from ancient history, Empress Huangyue did not believe them. Who could overlook each epoch and control the countless epochs within the Yuankun Domain?
It was said that even Eternal Golden Immortals could not achieve this!
Yet, after extensive inquiries and learning more detailed ancient histories, Empress Huangyue came to believe in them because the records of the Great Holy Land Schools, Eternal Clans, and Imperial Empires all told the same cruel truth.
In every epoch, in every era, countless sages struggled against it, seeking to break the chains of their fate, but all failed.
Xuanshen Sword Mountain, this was the dark origin of the Yuankun Domain, the birthplace of the catastrophe, the harvester of countless Great Emperors, Heavenly Immortals, and True Immortals.
Every creature that knew of these top-secret records, from the True Immortals above to the Saintly beings in the Sacred Abyss Realm and even the powerful beings of the Tongxuan Realm, knew that their fate was sealed.
Though the powerful beings of the Tongxuan Realm, the Saints of the Sacred Abyss Realm, and the Great Emperors of the Heaven Imperial Realm could not live for more than two hundred million years, cultivating was in defiance of the heavens, and they all aspired to become immortals, to rise to the status of Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, or even an Eternal Golden Immortal.
If they achieved immortality, they would face the great challenge of Xuanshen Sword Mountain, and when the time came, they would be reaped by it.
Even if they did not become immortals, if they happened to exist during the time of a catastrophe, they were likely to die, and their Sects and families could be destroyed as well. There were too many such records in ancient history.
“What level of weapon is this Immortal Sword after all?”
After a long silence, Empress Huangyue whispered to herself, a question she had pondered countless times, but for which she never had an answer.
Because after the revival of Xuanshen Sword Mountain, it became too strong, so strong that it plunged the entire Yuankun Domain into despair.
Every time a great tribulation descended, and Xuanshen Sword Mountain revived, this Immortal Sword did not even move; its mere radiance was enough to freeze the Endless Yuankun Domain with light, slaughtering all Great Emperors, Heavenly Immortals, and True Immortals.
Wherever the sword light passed, heaven and earth trembled, space and time shattered, and the sword light obliterated all causality and fate. From Great Emperors to True Immortals, no one could withstand a single ray of sword light and would be slain in an instant.
Even True Immortals hiding in minor worlds were no exception; they and their minor worlds would be annihilated together.
This is the top-secret information recorded in the historical annals of each epoch and era in the Yuankun Domain, revealing the terror of Xuanshen Sword Mountain and a profound sense of despair.
The limits of this Immortal Sword are unknown, unsuspected even by Heavenly and True Immortals, for they too cannot withstand even a single ray of its sword light.
“This is most certainly not an Immortal Sword of a Golden Immortal rank!” Empress Huangyue stated with unwavering certainty.
In this epoch, the Yuankun Domain had not seen the birth of any Golden Immortals, or perhaps for many epochs, since those True Immortals were culled by the revival of Xuanshen Sword Mountain before they could reach the Golden Immortal Realm.
However, the ancient history of the Yuankun Domain did record Golden Immortals; Heavenly Immortals lived for one epoch, True Immortals for one hundred, while Golden Immortals could live forever.
Records in ancient history chronicled the lifespan of Golden Immortals, their combat ability, and even some rough descriptions of the Golden Immortal Realm. All these hinted that an Immortal Sword at the level of a Golden Immortal could not achieve all of this.
What lies above the Golden Immortal?
No one in the entire Yuankun Domain had the answer, and neither did Empress Huangyue, who speculated that this Immortal Sword was a weapon above the Golden Immortal, giving it such endless power.
“This era has just begun, and I still have a chance,” Empress Huangyue whispered again to herself.
An era spans two hundred and sixteen million years, and the Ancient Era had just passed eleven thousand years; the new era had only just begun. She had already cultivated to the pinnacle of the Heaven Imperial Realm, making her an extreme dao Great Emperor.
Ten thousand years ago, she had already reached this level but purposely suppressed her realm from breaking through, as she wanted to become stronger within the heaven Imperial Realm.
With her Huangyue Immortal Body and Immortal-grade talent, advancing to Heavenly Immortal was not difficult, and the so-called heavenly tribulations could not stop her.
Empress Huangyue was acutely aware that becoming a Heavenly Immortal was pointless, as she would live for at most two hundred million years before dying in a great tribulation triggered by Xuanshen Sword Mountain.
Only by becoming stronger, possessing the combat ability of a Heavenly Immortal while in the Heaven Imperial Realm, could she have a chance to sever the chains of fate.
For Great Emperors, Heavenly Immortals, and True Immortals in the Yuankun Domain, the revived Xuanshen Sword Mountain was an insurmountable foe. The only way to survive was to leave the Yuankun Domain and head for the vast outside world.
Although there were three ancient pathways atop Xuanshen Sword Mountain leading to the outside world, very few beings were capable of walking them through. At the very least, they needed to possess the True Immortal Realm to have the qualification to attempt it.
Empress Huangyue guessed that perhaps only with a True Immortal Realm and Golden Immortal Battle Power would one be able to break through Xuanshen Sword Mountain and successfully reach the vast external world.
But how difficult would that be?
On the path of cultivation, the further one progresses, the greater the disparity in combat ability. Not to mention a Big Realm, even within a minor realm, the difference in combat ability could be immense.
Being able to possess combat ability equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal in the Heaven Imperial Realm was already an incredible feat, with very few achieving it since antiquity. And to have True Immortal combat ability in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, or Golden Immortal combat ability in the True Immortal Realm, was even rarer, with probably no more than a handful over countless epochs.
Whether she could succeed in the future, Empress Huangyue did not know. First, she needed to ensure she possessed the combat ability of a Heavenly Immortal while in the Heaven Imperial Realm, and she had been trying to achieve that since a hundred thousand years ago.
Empress Huangyue deduced a supreme Immortal Law, dividing a wisp of her Primordial Spirit to undergo reincarnation, sealing part of her memories and copious cultivation experiences, as well as numerous Imperial Immortal Skills, within the split soul.
