Shi Hao, whose Daoist name was Desolate and who had taken the alias Dugu Qiubai, was known as the Great Demon King. Now he faced an enemy unlike any before.
Word spread, and many Heavenly Prodigies rushed over to watch, waiting at the sidelines.
The battle drew plenty of attention, but it was confined to a small area.
The true center of everything here remained the Immortal Dao Flower Bud, which was about to bloom.
Shi Hao had already wandered the ancient grounds for a long time. Now the Immortal Dao Flower Bud was about to bloom fully, and the Immortal Ancient Portal was about to open!
An air of peace grew ever stronger. At one moment, the vitality surged to its peak, and specks of luminous rain drifted down from the Immortal Dao Flower Bud.
They fell on every corner of the ancient grounds and on the fifty million Venerables within.
The final petal of the Immortal Dao flower had quietly unfurled.
This shower of Immortal Dao light added a hundred years to the life of every one of the fifty million Venerables.
Extending a Venerable's life by a hundred years was nothing rare. Treasures throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces could do that, and some could do even better.
But extending the lives of fifty million Venerables by a hundred years each? That was staggering.
Added together, that was five billion years of lifespan...
Though adding them together like that did not make much sense...
Still, five billion years of lifespan had indeed changed hands here in that instant.
The life-extending rain left the Cult Masters outside with much to reflect on.
It was not that they envied the fifty million Venerables their extra hundred years.
Longevity substance had always existed in Heaven and Earth, however thinly spread.
