Chapter 777: Xuan Yuan Slaves (1/2)

“Those titans are terrifying!” The three didn’t land until they’d put a good amount of distance between themselves and their pursuers, but even so, they didn’t dare return to their original size.

“Those titans are at peak dao origin realm not because of their cultivation, but because their physical body is that strong! I didn’t kill him even with a blow at full strength!” the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign recounted with shock. He’d clashed head-on with the giant just now and brought the Skyturning Seal down with everything he had—but it hadn’t killed the titan!

First of manmade treasures, the Skyturning Seal ranked first when it came to offensive and killing capabilities. It was a terrifying weapon created by one of the founders of immortal dao. That the titan remained perfectly fine after receiving such a blow was greatly beyond the demon sovereign’s expectations.

“It’s because you’re too weak.” Ashu took a careful scan of their surroundings. “You two need to be careful, I know what’s going on here.”

“Hmm?” Lu Yun looked at the holy king.

“This is the world before Emperors Fall! The rules of the moat snake’s great dao have created a tomb realm that perfectly replicates the time before Emperors Fall!” Ashu took a deep breath. “The titans we saw earlier aren’t the ones who went extinct before the Primordial Era, but ones who lived before Emperors Fall.

“In that era, humans were much more prosperous than the other races. Countless branches splintered off humanity, and the titan race was one of the strongest ones. An adult titan possessed the strength of a peak origin dao immortal even without cultivating.”

Lu Yun and the demon sovereign gaped at Ashu.

“Though the titans boasted of extraordinary potential, they were only above average in that aeon. In those days, the greatest geniuses of the truly dominant factions were born with the cultivation level of a human king.

“Back then, the heavenly dao had evolved to its highest, most sophisticated form. All was truly thriving and flourishing—human kings were as common as cabbages and great emperors as numerous as dogs. There were even a few great ones who’d exceeded the great emperor realm.”

Ashu sighed, “In comparison to that, immortal dao now is too weak and too young. As viewed against the backdrop of that vast and glorious era, an immortal dao that’s less than six hundred million years old is hardly even a baby!”

“That’s not right, the immortal dao has existed for six hundred million years.”

Ashu looked blankly at Lu Yun who’d interjected. “You…”

“What about me?” Lu Yun had been captivated by the world Ashu was describing and didn’t understand why the storyteller had suddenly stopped to stare oddly at him instead.

“You’re… right. The first day of the first month in the first year of the Xuanhuang calendar happens to be the six hundred millionth and first day of the immortal dao’s founding.”

“What?!” Lu Yun, the demon sovereign, and even Ge Long eavesdropping from hell jumped with shock.

Ge Long quickly made his estimations. “That’s right... It’s been six hundred million years since the inception of the immortal dao, and that was the first day!” He looked at Lu Yun with an even greater look of respect. “Six hundred million years is a perfect minor cycle!”

……

“Can it be a coincidence?” Lu Yun didn’t quite believe his ears. The day in which he’d established the calendar was something he’d planned for a very long time. He simply felt that things were too chaotic in the world right now, and that a standard reference of time was needed to bring order to the confusion.

Therefore, he followed the calendar system of Earth and after uniting the world of immortals, employed formula dao to derive the Xuanhuang calendar. He and Qing Yu had picked that precise day after careful calculation.
