Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137: Immortal Emperor (2/2)

Even Virtuous Paragons couldn’t suppress this primal fear. Only experts above the G.o.d-Monarch realm could stand firm. Nevertheless, these G.o.d-Monarchs still felt trepidation.

The man in the sky had a square-shaped face and couldn’t be described as handsome. However, there was a certain charm and charisma to him. He was dignified and awe-inspiring without having to resort to an angry outburst. People felt that they were in the presence of an emperor the moment they saw his face. This face represented power, authority, absolute control over all things in the nine worlds!

However, this face was pale without any color.

His eyes were quite large. One could almost imagine just by staring at his eyes how wondrous they must have been back then as they looked down on the rest of the world and how sentient beings used to wors.h.i.+p him… Alas, this pair of eyes were now empty. There was only the void within the emptiness without any signs of life or expressions.

Nevertheless, those who looked into his eyes were still amazed. Their heartbeats sped up because this pair of eyes once saw through everything in this world.

“Immortal Emperor Ta Kong!” Even Old Devil was shocked the moment he saw this person and uncontrollably staggered backward.

“Immortal Emperor Ta Kong!” The prostrating crowd lifted their heads to look at this supreme existence in the distance.

This was an untouchable existence. Many people found glory in just looking at the magnificent appearance of an emperor.

“Is that really Immortal Emperor Ta Kong?” Those who had never seen him before murmured to themselves.

The G.o.d-Monarchs who were still firm lost their balance after seeing who this supreme existence was. Since they came from his era, they kneeled in astonishment and were dazed from fear.

This was not because these monarchs were too weak, it was because an Immortal Emperor was too powerful. Very few people could stand tall in the face of one. Even G.o.dkings might have to kneel on the ground.

The G.o.dkings who could still stand steady despite their fear glanced at each other. After a while, they realized something: “This, this is not a real Immortal Emperor.”

“It is an imperial corpse.” Li Qiye looked at the person in the sky. His eyes narrowed before speaking: “Incredible. Daring to preserve even an imperial corpse without fear of the potential backlas.h.!.+ It looks like Xiao Qingtian was presiding over the mountain to suppress the corpse.”

An imperial corpse was the body of an Immortal Emperor. Legend states that it was full of terrifying corpse energy. Once it acc.u.mulated to a certain level, it could immediately annihilate a G.o.dking.

However, these were only parts of the legend because, for millions of years, no one had seen the corpse of an Immortal Emperor, let alone its energy.

In fact, ever since the Desolate Era until the particularly radiant Emperors Era, there had always been new emperors. However, no one knew about their final destination.

No one knew whether they could die or not. Perhaps they would eventually turn into the grand dao. In short, across the ages, this remained an unsolved mystery. At the very least, those who couldn’t reach a certain level remained ignorant to the answer.

There was a long-running joke among cultivators: “Meeting an Immortal Emperor is an honor, but meeting the corpse of an Immortal Emperor makes you the biggest jackpot winner in history!”

Although this was just a joke, thinking about it some would find that this was indeed the case. Many people had seen Immortal Emperors before, but no one had seen their corpse.

To see their corpse was a million times more difficult than reaching the heavens.

But today, everyone saw the imperial corpse of Immortal Emperor Ta Kong. This might be the first time in history.

“Patriarch!” The lucky survivors from s.p.a.ce Trample Mountain were all prostrating and hitting their heads on the ground. They didn’t know whether they should be happy or sad. In short, tears ran down their faces as they kowtowed continuously.

Perhaps it was a bittersweet feeling. They were happy to see the patriarch answering their prayers as the mountain was on the verge of destruction, but only sadness was in their hearts to see their invincible emperor’s corpse. This was a devastating blow to the sect!

“The legend is true.” The kneeling spectators were shaken to see the corpse, especially those from the previous generation. They recalled a legend that everyone in this world knew.

A G.o.d-Monarch muttered: “The Black Dragon King really did tear the Heaven’s Will apart.”

Another G.o.dking took a good look at the corpse and felt a bit creeped out. He spoke with great astonishment: “The Black Dragon King did more than just that. He probably killed the emperor as well, or maybe both of them perished together. Regardless of the dragon king’s fate, Immortal Emperor Ta Kong is truly dead!”

An emperor had fallen. It didn’t matter whether his true fate was there or if he was hiding in this world, leaving his body behind was a sign of death! At the very least, it showed that an emperor was defeated and had no choice but to give up his own fles.h.!.+
