As the Immortal Path War drew to a close.
In an ancient Heavenly Domain somewhere in the Investiture of the Gods Great World.
Deep in the void of the ancient Heavenly Domain, two Everlasting Golden Immortals confronted each other from afar. Their presences crushed the void across the sky, reducing myriad Principles to nothingness and covering heaven and earth with scars of the Great Dao.
Those scars of the Great Dao resembled wounds slashed across the firmament by a sharp blade. Chaos Qi gushed from them, cascading into the mortal world like black waterfalls. Wherever they passed, Principles shattered and all things returned to oblivion.
Such was the aftermath of Golden Immortal might. The mere confrontation of their presences had already left indelible wounds upon heaven and earth.
The might of Golden Immortals stood at the pinnacle of the world.
A Golden Immortal had already opened the one hundred and eight most critical Vital Immortal Apertures and thoroughly integrated their power, condensing it into a single whole.
Only after fusing those one hundred and eight Vital Immortal Apertures into a single furnace and surviving the three deadly tribulations—the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, the Human Tribulation, and the Inner Demon Tribulation—could one truly forge a Golden Immortal body.
A Golden Immortal body merged perfectly with the Investiture of the Gods Great World, sharing the lifespan of heaven and earth and shining alongside the sun and moon. As long as the great world endured through eternity, they could enjoy everlasting life.
