The shattered starry expanse of the domain held only broken space and torn laws, a scene of utter devastation.
"Heavenly Secret and Black Tortoise never appeared."
Myriad Mechanisms murmured.
He was deeply disappointed. So much that they had painstakingly prepared had gone unused.
They could defeat and gravely wound an Immortal Order's divine lord at full strength, but they could not kill one. Against a divine lord who was already gravely wounded, however, they had a much better chance.
"How could they?"
"How could Black Tortoise and Heavenly Secret risk coming to someone else's rescue? They'd rather everyone else be as badly wounded as they are. Otherwise, they'd be the ones in danger."
Divine Mechanism laughed.
The two tried to lighten the mood with banter, but the Immortal Sect cultivators around them remained subdued. The atmosphere was heavy, and a little laughter did nothing to ease it.
More and more Immortal Order divine lords were reaching Dao Integration. If the Central Array-Spirit Computer could not advance in time, they would be in danger.
Five hundred years slipped by before anyone knew it.
The last of the Immortal Order mighty figures to face tribulation belonged to the Pill Cauldron Immortal Sect. He succeeded, only to be destroyed by the Citizen Fleet, which had grown to three hundred million members and sixteen hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators. Only his soul escaped in all directions.
Even then, he barely survived because a mighty figure from the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace, whose wounds had healed, secretly intervened. He owed him an enormous debt.
The mighty figures of the Supreme Clarity Spiritual Treasure Sect and the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect shared his fate.
These three clearly lacked the strength and reserves of the other Immortal Order mighty figures, so they were the last to advance.
