Ten thousand years later, Wang Bo and Lu Yu had reached the height of their power, yet neither had managed to defeat the other.
That year, the two Chaos Great Emperors began challenging the two previous Dao-Proven Ones: Emperor Di Que and the Godslaying Emperor.
The outcome was astonishing. Although Di Que and the Godslaying Emperor had proven their Dao tens of thousands of years earlier and entered the Immortal Court, where the longevity substance of the Thirty-Three Heavens kept them immortal and preserved their peak imperial strength, both were defeated in succession.
The chaos body, the foremost bloodline physique of all time, still held an overwhelming advantage against others in the same realm, even after proving the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor.
Five thousand years later, Lu Yu and Wang Bo were both sixteen thousand years old, at the absolute peak of their first lifetimes. They began challenging the Immortal Court's second-strongest expert-the Azure Emperor-but this time, the two chaos bodies were defeated.
During the Chaotic Ancient Era, there had been a Green Lotus Immortal King who transformed into the Green Lotus Immortal Medicine after death. Later, the Chaotic Ancient Era collapsed, and the entire world entered the Dharma-Ending Age. As the environment changed drastically, the Green Lotus Immortal Medicine also degenerated into the Green Lotus Immortal Divine Medicine.
Later, the Green Lotus Immortal Divine Medicine, unable to cultivate, used a fragment of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron to shed his divine medicine form and become a true living being. He was the Azure Emperor of today.
Tracing his origins back to their source, the Azure Emperor could, in a sense, be considered the reincarnation of an Immortal King, fully worthy of standing alongside supreme bloodline physiques such as the chaos body and the innate sacred body Dao embryo.
