Then she turned toward Purple Sun Heavenly Lord, who looked somewhat lost and deeply shaken, and said bluntly, "You needn't be discouraged. There are reasons I could defeat you so easily, aside from your excessive reliance on the Primordial Dao Seed..."
"The heavens and earth of this world are flawed, its Great Dao damaged, and its laws incomplete. I once had the good fortune to rebuild my Great Dao foundation in a complete heaven and earth environment. That is why I far surpass you!"
That was what she said.
Yet inwardly, she felt somewhat disappointed.
After following the Eastern Emperor all these years, her horizons had broadened immensely through everything she had seen and heard. Her perspective was no longer confined to the little corner that was the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
The Otherworld had long since thoroughly studied the Immortal Ancient Method and had ways to counter it.
A Heavenly Pride like Purple Sun Heavenly Lord already ranked among the finest of this world's younger generation, standing near the very top of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Yet at the same cultivation level, he probably could not even match those immortal Royal Clan experts of the Otherworld, the equivalent of descendants of True Immortals, much less the Young Supremes of the Imperial Clans.
At the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Otherworld had invaded in force. Immortal Kings had breached this world and left it shattered.
The intact Ancient Continent had been smashed into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. The heaven and earth environment had changed drastically, spiritual energy had plummeted, undying substance had grown ever scarcer, and the laws of the myriad Dao were no longer complete.
Ever since, the beings of this world could only cultivate amid heavens and earth with flawed laws.
