Chapter 395: News of the Ancient Immortal Body
The Battle of Tai Chu Ancient Land.
It shocked the entire Ancient Desolate World.
The Thirteenth Ancestor Xia Tianjun of the Ancient Xia Family was defeated, the Divine Martial Gu Family Ancestor inflicted a severe blow on the Ancient Great Emperor, and the Ancient Xia Family submitted to the Divine Martial Dynasty. All these news swept across the world like a hurricane.
Every force was rendered speechless by this news.
Who could have imagined?
In just a short time.
The situation in the Eastern Domain would undergo such a shocking reversal.
Originally, the three major Imperial Clans were pressing step by step, and the Divine Martial Dynasty was already at the end of its rope. All forces wanted to see the downfall of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
But after the battle at Tai Chu Ancient Land, everything changed.
Great Emperor!
The ancestor of the Divine Martial Gu Family eventually stepped into the level of the Great Emperor.
Although he had not truly proven himself as an Emperor, his strength was already no weaker than that of an ordinary Great Emperor.
No!
He was even stronger than a typical Great Emperor.
Did you not see when an Ancient Great Emperor attacked, he was also cut off an arm by the opponent's blade, and fled ashamedly?
This alone illustrates the terrifying strength of that Gu Family ancestor.
Furthermore.
The events of Tai Chu Ancient Land also surprised many forces.
Most forces did not expect that there was an Ancient Great Emperor asleep in the Life Forbidden Zone, and it seemed that it was not just one Great Emperor.
If there is a Great Emperor in Tai Chu Ancient Land.
Then it implies that other Life Forbidden Zones might also have Great Emperors sleeping.
This indirectly indicates.
The waters of the Ancient Desolate World are much deeper than imagined.
However—
These are all secondary.
The submission of the Ancient Emperor Clan.
Has left many forces in the Eastern Domain feeling as though they lost their mothers.
Especially the East Mystic Holy Land and the Ancient Zhou Family, now feeling as though they've swallowed a dead fly.
Inside the Ancient Xia Family.
A Quasi Emperor from the East Mystic Holy Land and a Quasi Emperor from the Ancient Zhou Family both appeared here, their faces dark, almost capable of dripping water.
"Taoist Friend Xia, do we three major Imperial Clans really need to submit to a newly risen Imperial Dynasty?"
The speaker was the Quasi Emperor of the Ancient Zhou Family, named Zhou Lie, a man whose nature matches his name, violent as fire, and he immediately questioned, with anger infused in his words.
Upon hearing Zhou Lie's words, Xia Tianjun's eyes turned cold, pale golden pupils gleaming with icy light, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him, making Zhou Lie's expression change immediately.
"Are you questioning this Emperor?"
Xia Tianjun replied coldly.
Although he was subdued by Gu Qingfeng, he remains the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Xia Family, an unparalleled strongman who could contend with Great Emperors in the Ancient Wilderness Era.
Even Zhou Lie, being a Quasi Emperor of the Ancient Zhou Family, is entirely insignificant before him.
At this moment, Zhou Lie realized his impulsiveness, knowing that the one before him was not someone he could offend.
Despite his volatile nature, Zhou Lie understands whom he can and cannot offend.
Otherwise.
He wouldn't have reached this stage.
"Taoist Friend Zhou has always been this way, Taoist Friend Xia, why take offense!"
At this time, the Gu Shengji, the ancestor of the East Mystic Holy Land, chuckled to mediate, greatly alleviating the originally stifling atmosphere.
The opponent donning a purple dao robe, seemingly middle-aged, with eyes as deep as stars, and a perpetual subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Gu Shengji speak, Xia Tianjun glanced at him, not truly angered.
"You all know of the Divine Martial Gu Family's senior, whose strength is not weaker than an Ancient Great Emperor, maybe even surpasses them!"
"When the Great Struggle Prosperity Era arrives, the opponent will surely ascend to the Great Emperor. If he attains the Emperor Realm, who could match him? Even those Ancient Great Emperors in the Life Forbidden Zones would avoid confrontation!"
Xia Tianjun's words left the two silent.
Undeniably.
The strength of that Gu Family ancestor is indeed exceedingly terrifying.
Not a Great Emperor.
Yet superior to a Great Emperor!
Through history, those who have reached such a level in the Quasi-Emperor Realm could be counted on one hand.
Any being who achieved such a feat is destined to become an invincible Great Emperor someday.
"Such a formidable figure, the Xia Family naturally won't choose mutually assured destruction with them. Besides, throughout countless years, the Eastern Domain has not been devoid of Divine Dynasties appearing, no single force can maintain the peak forever, not even the Imperial Clans are exceptions.
The Taiyi Divine Dynasty once dominated the ancient times, with countless forces across the Ancient Desolate World bowing their heads, but what was the ultimate outcome?"
"Moreover, with the Ancient Evil Spirit emerging this time, and invasion from the Demon Clan, signs of impending catastrophe have appeared. In such a scenario, a force must emerge to lead the Human Clan against the catastrophe!"
"No surprise, the Divine Martial Dynasty is likely the supreme force presiding over the catastrophe in this era!"
Xia Tianjun slowly spoke.
The foundation of the Ancient Xia Family is naturally not that simple, if truly pressed to the limit, they could even contend with Great Emperors.
However.
What good is it to fight against Great Emperors?
Both would suffer significant losses.
Offering the opportunity for others to reap the benefits.
Moreover.
As Xia Tianjun stated, with the catastrophe impending, someone must eventually rise to lead the Human Clan against it.
Throughout history.
During each catastrophic period, heroes would emerge to lead an era's existence.
Clearly.
The Divine Martial Dynasty is such.
Of course.
The Ancient Xia Family could step forward, but the price would be too high, and with the slightest misstep, the hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated foundation of the Xia Family could be entirely depleted.
In such a scenario, Xia Tianjun naturally does not wish for an all-out confrontation with the Divine Martial Dynasty.
