Chapter 259: Transcendence (15)
Who was the Undying Nether Emperor?
Ning Changqing did not know. Yet this forbidden land was manifesting traces of that supreme expert's past. Fragments emerged from the long river of time.
"This was actually a supreme Emperor-level being!" Ning Changqing was shocked.
Even in the glorious Mythical Era, supreme Emperors had been extremely rare. The indelible imprint left in the world called itself the Undying Nether Emperor. From that distant age, an undying hymn resounded, praising the greatest sovereign of the Emperor Dao Era.
The hymn spoke of great achievements, then turned into a mournful lament. The one who had ended the Dark Era and founded the Emperor Dao Era—the First Emperor—had lived far too long. A single being had represented the rise and fall of an entire era.
Great Emperors and those supreme experts who had severed themselves and retreated into forbidden zones were nothing more than food accumulated by this supreme sovereign in his attempt to achieve transcendence.
Ning Changqing sighed as he watched the traces manifesting between heaven and earth. "So in later eras, there was still such a powerhouse—one who ended one epoch and opened another, treating even Great Emperors as mere sustenance in his pursuit of transcendence."
Such talent would have ranked among the very best even before the Mythical Era. Unfortunately, he had still failed in the end. It was both expected and unexpected. Achieving transcendence was never easy.
Ning Changqing had personally witnessed battles for transcendence. The founder of the Jade Pool Sacred Land had possessed astonishing talent that even he admired, yet she too had failed.
