The dazzling Ruthless Great Emperor, who had once evolved an invincible chaotic body and defied heaven to live four lives, was now blinking her watery eyes, dark as black glass. With the adorable stature of a three-year-old, she sucked her finger and gazed around in innocent confusion.
The peerless God Emperor, invincible throughout heaven and earth at his ninth transformation, supreme over past, present, and future at his tenth, and struggling across the mortal sea for a million years at his eleventh, was now wreathed in chaotic qi, his immortal armor softly chiming. He had revived only briefly, sustained entirely by his Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and a little of the Azure Emperor's blood.
With the Azure Emperor's help, he might have been able to get back on his feet.
But the Azure Emperor, one of the mightiest beings in all history, who had taken human form from an Undying Immortal Medicine, possessed only his supreme Primordial Spirit now. Looking at the situation, he coughed lightly and said, "I need to focus my energy on the Desolate Pagoda. You can handle the Heavenly Court's affairs yourselves."
Evolving an Immortal Realm within the Desolate Pagoda was the Azure Emperor's great aspiration. Though he had encountered a minor setback along the way, three hundred Emperor Talismans had extended his life, letting him glimpse the dawn of hope.
Giving up was out of the question. How could anyone belong to Shrouding the Heavens without a skull hard enough to batter through walls?
Lin Xian could only pin his hopes on the final Immortal Artifact. Though damaged, the Desolate Pagoda had an illustrious record, having once slain a great accomplished saint physique. It was inferior to the Azure Emperor, but could still be counted as possessing the combat power of a Flawless Great Emperor.
