"Such terrifying battles, such a magnificent world! That Buddhist light, that Demon Qi... Is this the Immortal Domain?"
"It has to be the Immortal Domain! There's nowhere else like it in the entire Starry Sky!"
Countless Supremes seemed to glimpse hope.
But that hope vanished as a figure stepped forward and thrust out a hand that blotted out the sky. With a single grab, it reduced countless figures to ash!
Then its gaze swept over them and shattered every image!
The Feathered Emperor staggered back, coughing up blood. Cracks spread across his body, threatening to tear him apart!
Many of the Supremes fared no better. One after another, they spat blood as though they had suffered grievous wounds!
"Pfft... Clearly, we weren't meant to look!"
"Just one glimpse of an immortal, and the backlash was this severe!"
"Terrifying! A single glance was enough to chill me to the bone!"
Their cries of astonishment rose in a wave.
The Feathered Emperor had suffered the worst of it. He felt his body breaking, yet a stubborn smile remained on his face. "Immortals are real! I'm the Great Emperor of this age. Perhaps I can find the Immortal Ascension Method! But first, I need to heal."
Delighted, the Feathered Emperor wiped away the blood and prepared to leave.
The Forbidden Zone Supremes, too, held on to hope—the hope of becoming immortals. Some could barely resist coming out, but with little life left and immortals so hard to find, they held themselves back.
Some of the shrewder Supremes secretly contacted the Feathered Emperor and offered him vast resources, urging him to recover quickly. Then, as the reigning Great Emperor, he could search for traces of immortals.
What they did not know was that the traces they sought lay within Purple Mountain!
