Chapter 704 The outside world is too dangerous
"Ancestor, oh Ancestor... what exactly did you go through back then?"
Why did he ultimately... also choose that path that everyone despises?
The Grand Elder of the Divine Race was overcome with emotion, tears streaming down his face.
At this moment, his feelings were so complex that they were hard to describe.
On one hand, it is the faith of their divine race and the ancient emperor. Seeing the ancient emperor reappear in the world and display his invincible supreme power, as descendants, they will instinctively feel a sense of pride and awe related to their bloodline.
On the other hand, the pain of learning that one's hero is actually a fallen sovereign who may have consumed the blood of all living beings in order to survive is enough to drive one mad.
"Regardless, the ancient emperor is forced to undergo the ultimate ascension today; this is the final battle of his life."
"After this battle, there will be no more ancient gods and emperors in the world."
"All we can do is send the ancient emperor off on his final journey."
Several powerful deities bowed their heads in sorrow, kneeling for a long time in the ancestral temple, silently bidding farewell to the desolate edge of the universe with the most ancient rituals.
They knew that this ancestor of the gods was destined to vanish completely from the world today.
at the same time.
In the central region of the universe, on the most prosperous continent of Nine Heavens.
A magnificent palace, suspended above the clouds, exuding endless majesty and sacredness—the Yan Emperor Palace—stands quietly.
This is the Daoist temple of the current Great Emperor Lin Hanzhou, and also the highest holy place in the hearts of countless cultivators throughout the universe.
On a cliff of enlightenment behind the Yan Emperor Palace.
Qin Changqing, who possessed the immortal body that made the world envious, was leisurely lying on a rocking chair.
Qin Changqing held a cup of tea brewed with Enlightenment Tea in his hand and was sipping it gently.
When the great war broke out on the edge of the universe, and the terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao spread to the Nine Heavens Continent, Qin Changqing put down his teacup and slowly stood up.
His clear eyes shimmered with mysterious runes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of the void, also looking towards the edge of the universe.
"Master, you've finally...fought with that old bastard from the Undying Mountain."
As Qin Changqing sensed the familiar aura of the Thunderfire Dao, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He also sensed this earth-shattering battle and knew clearly that it was his master, Lin Hanzhou, fighting a life-or-death struggle with a supreme being from a forbidden zone who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment.
However, Qin Changqing showed no sign of worry.
It could even be said that he not only wasn't worried, but also had the leisure to enjoy tea here.
Because he knew all too well the strength of his master!
His master was an ancient prodigy capable of unleashing battle power comparable to that of a four-generation emperor.
Let alone a crippled ancient emperor who had severed his own flesh and barely recovered to his peak through extreme sublimation, even a flawless ancient emperor at his peak would probably not be enough for Master to defeat alone.
Among all the great emperors throughout history, his master was absolutely at the pinnacle of invincibility.
However, when he tried to release his powerful divine sense, which belonged to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, in order to observe this epic battle at the Emperor level from a distance.
"Buzz—!"
Qin Changqing's divine sense had just spread out of the Nine Heavens Continent and come into contact with the remaining aftershocks of the extreme collision in the starry sky.
Suddenly, an extremely domineering destructive force rebounded from his consciousness.
"snort!"
Qin Changqing's face suddenly turned pale, and he let out a muffled groan.
He staggered back two steps, and two streams of bright red blood slowly flowed down his nostrils.
"Hiss—what a terrifying shockwave! Just the aftershocks transmitted along the Great Dao almost shattered my quasi-emperor soul!"
Qin Changqing quickly withdrew his divine sense, wiped the blood from his nose with lingering fear, and the gloating on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of astonishment and lingering fear.
"This gap...it's just too big!"
Qin Changqing stared blankly at his hands.
During this period of time, thanks to his immortal body and his master's dedicated training, his cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, and he reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm at a very early age.
Adding to his lifespan of 100,000 years, Qin Changqing was actually quite smug.
He thought that he had reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and in this era where there were no Great Emperors except for his master, he was already a peerless figure who could roam the universe.
But now, cruel reality has dealt him a merciless blow.
His supposedly superior strength is nothing but a joke in the face of a true master!
Let alone getting involved in a battle of that level, he doesn't even have the right to get far enough away to approach the edge of the battlefield and observe the fighting.
If he dares to get close, those rampant Emperor Laws will instantly crush him, a peak Quasi-Emperor, into dust!
"Peak Quasi-Emperor level, still too weak..."
Qin Changqing sighed deeply, his newly formed sense of pride shattered.
He looked up at the starry sky that was still twinkling with golden and purple light, and silently made a decision in his heart.
"The outside world is too dangerous; it's always full of world-destroying events."
"I possess the Immortal Body, my greatest advantage being my ability to endure. Why should I bother competing with these freaks?"
"Looks like I'll have to keep hiding for now."
"Quasi-Emperor is far from enough. Even if he eventually becomes an Emperor, in this perilous universe, if he encounters a few ruthless individuals like Master or a group of supreme beings from forbidden zones, he will still be at risk."
As Qin Changqing wiped the blood off his face, he secretly made up his mind.
"I've made up my mind. From this day forward, I, Qin Changqing, will never be born again until I've cultivated my cultivation to the level of an immortal!"
"As long as I can survive, relying on my lifespan, I can outlive all my enemies through the years! Yes, that's what I'll do!"
Having made up his mind, Qin Changqing immediately turned around and went back to his room, beginning his long and seemingly endless period of seclusion in the "path of survival."
Meanwhile, in the distant edge of the universe, the life-or-death battle between the current emperor and the ancient emperor of the forbidden zone had just entered its most intense and fierce stage.
Thunder roared, divine fire blazed across the sky, and golden halberd light tore through eternity.
These two powerful figures, standing at the pinnacle of humanity, are composing a tragic war song belonging to the Great Emperor with their most ferocious power.
The Milky Way collapsed beneath their feet, time stood still as their swords clashed, and the desolate edge of the universe was transformed into a chaotic purgatory, witnessing the complete end of an old era.
