Chapter 1154: Number One Sempiternal Since The Primordium (1)
Upon hearing Wu Yuan's words, Saints Lei Dao, Hong Jun, and the other three felt their hearts seize. It seemed that Wu Yuan was not yet satisfied with their current victory, wishing to slay even more Immortal Court Saints.
"Overlord Wu Yuan, we have already reaped great rewards from this battle. Saints Teng Chong and the other Immortal Court Saints we killed will have to expend their imprints accumulated over many samsara cycles of heaven and earth to resurrect. In the future, revival will be even more difficult for them," said Saint Lei Dao.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly. "Indeed."
It was extremely difficult for a Saint to resurrect through their own means. More often, it required the aid of Dao Zenithels, and even True Saints would struggle to assist.
Every resurrection significantly consumed their imprints in the cosmic sea. After one resurrection, a Saint had to accrue numerous imprints over dozens of samsara cycles of heaven and earth before another revival was possible. If they fell again shortly after resurrecting, even a Dao Zenithel would find it hard to help.
"The most significant impact dealt to the Immortal Court in this battle was the deaths of thousands of their Overlords," remarked Saint Hong Jun. "Among them, several hundred were fourth-stage Overlords, including Overlord Yue Shan. The Immortal Court's Dao Zenithels will have a tough time bringing them back."
Instantly, the Saints exchanged smiles. Wu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle too.
Reviving sempiternal lifeforms was entirely different from reviving mortal lifeforms. For True Saint Bu Xiu, reviving trillions of mortals is easy. Yet reviving a sempiternal lifeform? The difficulty was tens of thousands of times greater.
When reviving a universe-born lifeform, one risked facing backlash from the River of Universes. Meanwhile, reviving a cosmic sea-born lifeform would cause the resurrector to incur retribution from the Primordial Rules. The more powerful the individual, and the deeper their attunement to the Great Dao, the harder they were to bring back.
In Overlord Yue Shan's case?
Perhaps it would require the Heavenly Imperator's direct intervention. Wu Yuan mused. Or someone like Dao Zenithel Wan Yu, or the Spacetime Dao Master.
Would the Heavenly Imperator be willing to take action for Overlord Yue Shan?
