Li Jianning's panel scrolled before his eyes. Rotten Axe Elder's shock did not surprise him in the slightest.
These ten thousand years of fighting all manner of creatures from beyond the universe might have looked like the strong crushing the weak, but only the seven of them and Old Tree knew how many bitter tears lay behind it.
They had fought constantly. Sometimes, they faced one or two beings who had been invincible in their original worlds, shouting and screaming when they came to the Immortal Realm, only to be beaten to death. When dealing with such things, Li Yaozu would usually go have some fun by himself.
The true danger lay in the countless hordes of living beings.
What left the deepest impression on Li Jianning was that time when fleets of steel came toward the Immortal Realm, nearly blotting out the sky, before opening fire upon the entire realm. Another time, an entire planet had come under the control of so-called "gods," and the beings they killed numbered in the hundreds of millions. The hardest battle had been against the "Psionic Cultivator Starfield Alliance."
That alliance used something called a "constellation" as its unit. An emperor ruled an entire constellation. The "gods" capable of traversing space in the universe were fellows who had even touched upon the power of the Mahayana Realm, while the emperor was a genuine Mahayana-level existence. He could control an entire world, which in the universe was equivalent to controlling an entire galaxy.
For ten thousand years, they had fought such people every day. There had been no negotiations or schemes, because Li Yaozu led them!
Defense and destruction had become routine.
And the seven of them had grown madly stronger.
