"At the end of this road lies an opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor..."
Such a simple sentence, yet once spoken, it seemed to set the Void boiling and Chaos collapsing, as countless phantoms of Primordial Deities manifested here.
All because these words involved the most powerful beings in the Heavens and Myriad Realms—the so-called Immortal Emperors.
Or rather, End-of-the-Road Level powerhouses.
Immortal Emperors had already reached the ultimate limit of the evolutionary path. Beyond that, there was simply no road left to walk.
Since ancient times, through countless Sacrificial Eras, only a handful of Immortal Emperors had ever appeared.
For a flourishing great realm, producing even a Dao Ancestor-level powerhouse at the end was enough to be called heaven-defying. As for Immortal Emperors...
Other than Heaven, a uniquely blessed place born with the fortune of heaven and earth and developed over countless years, no other place could produce one at all.
Moreover, the power of an Immortal Emperor far surpassed even the limits of what Dao Ancestors could imagine.
With the overwhelming might of Immortal Emperors, the Heavens and Myriad Realms could not bear their Dao Fruits at all. In the end, every Immortal Emperor would arrive in Heaven.
Sacrificial Eras rose and fell, infinite lives reincarnated, and Dao Ancestors were merely vanguards in the wars of the Sacrificial Sea. Those who could truly determine the outcome of a Grand Sacrifice were still Immortal Emperors.
Of course, that was assuming the Ancestors of the Calamity Plateau's strange Ancestral Land did not take action.
Compared to Dao Ancestors, Immortal Emperors also possessed something that could be called heaven-defying: as long as someone in this world still remembered them...
Even after tens of millions of years had passed, they could reappear in this world. They were truly undying and indestructible beings.
