The Death of the Immortal Emperor

My name is Zhang Yang!

He used to be a shepherd boy.

Because I was born in the countryside, my family has relied on farming for generations.

However, I am different from other shepherds.

Because I am extremely lucky!

When I was eight years old, an immortal descended the mountain to select disciples, and I was chosen.

From then on, I shed my identity as a shepherd boy and became a celestial being in the eyes of mortals.

But after I started learning, I realized that we are not actually immortals!

We call ourselves cultivators!

What surprised me was that cultivators were also divided into different levels.

According to the sect's immortal masters, the higher one's Spirit Root, the greater one's future achievements will be, and the more resources the sect will provide.

I don't know what my Spirit Root is like.

But I don't want to be worse than others.

So when I was testing my Spirit Root, I kept silently telling myself...

"You are the best! Your Spirit Root must also be the best!"

I don't know if it was the words I silently recited that worked, or if I'm just naturally powerful.

Ninth-Grade Spirit Root!

I've been diagnosed with Ninth-Grade Spirit Root!

It is said that the strongest Spirit Root in the world is the ninth grade!

That's right! My Spirit Root is the best.

However, this isn't all good.

A top-tier Spirit Root will inevitably attract the attention of others.

Although the sect tried its best to hide my Spirit Root, the truth eventually came out.

The news of my Ninth-Grade Spirit Root still got out.

The sect had no choice but to hand me over to others.

That's an even more powerful immortal sect!

They treasured me.

It was from that moment that I realized that if you are strong enough, the whole world will revolve around you!

Thanks to the sect's preferential treatment in terms of resources, my cultivation journey has been smooth sailing.

Even I didn't realize that I had unknowingly reached the Late Tribulation Transcendence.

Two paths lie before me.

One option is to stop cultivating and enjoy one's transcendent status in the Cultivation Realm.

The other path is to ascend to the Immortal Realm and strive for even greater heights.

Is there even a need to choose?

My experiences along the way have given me the answer.

You should know that I entered the immortal sect from the countryside, and then from the small immortal sect to the great immortal sect.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: only on a grand stage can I truly shine.

The Immortal Realm, however, is undoubtedly a much larger stage for me.

What is an extremely difficult Tribulation Transcendence for others is not difficult for me at all.

I didn't even need to exert my full strength to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Immortal Realm!

Faced with this place I had longed for day and night, I did not hesitate at all and chose to ascend directly.

However, the real Immortal Realm was completely different from what I had imagined.

It was only after I ascended to the Immortal Realm that I realized my proud Ninth-Grade Spirit Root wasn't even considered ordinary in the Immortal Realm.

Because above the Ninth-Grade Spirit Root, there is actually Ninth-Grade Immortal Root!

At that moment, I suddenly realized that the Immortal Realm might not be as wonderful as I had imagined.

Everything that's been going smoothly for them may come to an end here.

However, it's clear that I'm being a bit of an overreacter.

Fate was on my side once again.

In the Spirit Root test in the Immortal Realm, I once again stood out from the crowd and was found to have Seventh-Grade Immortal Root.

In no time, all the major powers in the Immortal Realm extended olive branches to me.

But my experience in the mortal world has taught me that I must be careful when choosing a platform.

The bigger the platform, the more opportunities it offers.

So I abandoned all recruitment efforts and instead joined the Immortal Army under the Immortal Emperor.

In my view, no matter how powerful a force is in the Immortal Realm, it cannot compare to the Immortal Emperor.

The results proved that my choice was correct.

After joining the Immortal Army, I followed the Immortal Emperor in his campaigns across the land.

They not only have to fight against the Demon Race, but also against other Lesser Immortal Realm.

Time passed slowly amidst these battles.

My status and strength are also rising higher and higher within the Immortal Army.

Until the Immortal Emperor appointed me as the commander of his personal guard!

It was only after that I understood what Immortal Emperor was.

As the commander of the personal guards, I have more opportunities to come into contact with the Immortal Emperor compared to other celestial soldiers.

Therefore, I have been fortunate enough to witness the Immortal Emperor's actions a few times.

How should I put it?

The moment I saw him make his move, I knew I had chosen the right person to follow.

Because deep down, not even the slightest feeling of resistance arose.

That's right!

The Immortal Emperor's power had already caused his body's instincts to give up resistance.

Is this level of power truly that of an immortal?

In my heart, the Immortal Emperor at that moment was like a god.

From that moment on, I became the Immortal Emperor's most die-hard follower.

In the Immortal Realm, as long as you have the strength, life will be colorful and exciting.

Just like me, since I followed the Immortal Emperor, every day has been incredibly fulfilling.

This situation continued for millions of years.

Until that day!

A great sun appeared above the Immortal Court.

How is that possible?

There are no stars near the Immortal Court, so how could a great sun appear?

Something must have gone wrong.

Without waiting for the Immortal Emperor's order, I prepared to send people to investigate.

Before I could even open my mouth, a burly figure appeared in front of me.

It is the Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor abandoned his usual refined demeanor and donned the battle armor he wore during battles.

Are we about to go on another expedition?

"Zhang Yang!"

Did the Immortal Emperor summon me?

"Your subordinate is here!"

The Immortal Emperor turned and glanced at me kneeling on the ground, only saying, "Get as far away from me as possible," before disappearing from sight.

It was only then that I realized that what was in the sky was not the sun at all.

It was a Three-Legged Golden Crow covered in flames!

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor had transformed into a golden-armored giant and was engaged in battle with the Golden Crow.

The entire Immortal Court was in chaos.

People fled the Immortal Court as if their lives depended on it.

There was no way around it; the combined offensive power of both sides was simply too overwhelming.

Even the aftershocks of an attack, which were casually leaked, made me feel terrified.

Let's not even mention anyone else!

The Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Immortal Emperor fought for a full year, and the Immortal Court was shattered under their attacks.

Unable to offer any assistance to the Immortal Emperor, we wanted to leave, but found it impossible.

I don't know when, but the Demon Race army suddenly surrounded us.

Looking at the densely packed Demon Race on the outer perimeter, I knew we couldn't escape.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is so vast that there is no possibility of breaking through.

We can only place all our hopes on the Immortal Emperor!

If he can defeat the Golden Crow, then the Demon Race army outside will be no match for him.

Unfortunately, the Three-Legged Golden Crow was simply too powerful.

Even the Immortal Emperor, who had clearly given it his all, could only manage a draw with his opponent.

In the end, he even went so far as to self-destruct in order to destroy the opponent's physical body.

The Immortal Court was reduced to ruins in the aftermath of the Immortal Emperor's self-destruction.

Massacre!

A blatant massacre!

The destruction of the Three-Legged Golden Crow's physical body did not frighten the Demon Race; on the contrary, it fueled their fighting spirit.

The war was completely one-sided.

We lost!

Without the Immortal Emperor, we lost completely.

Hundreds of billions of the Human Clan have become prisoners of the Demon Race.

We watched as they merged hundreds of stars, eventually forming a massive superstar.

Afterwards, they poured the true spirit of the Three-Legged Golden Crow into it and set up the legendary True Yang Nirvana Grand Array!

Hundreds of billions of the Human Clan were invested in it, becoming the most suitable nourishment for the resurrection of the Golden Crow.

Consciousness blurred the moment the butcher's knife fell.

All that's left is endless wailing!
