1003: The Young Master of the Other Shore, an Ancient Freak

“Historically, there have been many who, though not having achieved the Emperor Realm, possessed combat power comparable to, or infinitely close to, that of a Great Emperor. Such individuals once amazed an era, provided they didn't perish prematurely. Perhaps that target is precisely one of these types.”

The powerful individuals of the Immortal Road on the Other Shore were now looking extremely solemn. They hadn't expected the target, the Emperor-level Fated Person of the Myriad Heavens, they encountered this time to be so terrifying.

Otherwise, the twenty Cultivators they sent out, all in the first stage of Immortality, even if placed on the Burial Emperor Star, would be more than enough to severely cripple a flourishing Dao Lineage, if not completely sweep through it!

Moreover, they were Cultivators from the Other Shore, and their Cultivation Techniques and methods surpassed those of the flourishing Dao Lineages on the Burial Emperor Star.

“Hmph, since the opponent is an Emperor-level Fated Person, it's normal for them to be difficult to kill. They likely possess many Opportunities and methods.”

“If that's the case, then please awaken the Young Lord.”

The Other Shore also had a Young Lord, and their Young Lord was naturally a more powerful existence, also walking the path of Immortality, but different from them, much younger than them.

Thus, not long after, within the territory of the Other Shore's faction, a figure emerged from a frozen jade stone, awakened.

Originally, according to the predetermined time, the Young Lord of the Other Shore was not supposed to awaken yet, but now there was no other choice.

With the appearance of an Emperor-level Fated Person of the Myriad Heavens, the Other Shore had to act and eliminate him! This was their mission, and failure was not an option, otherwise they would incur the wrath of their superiors and potentially affect their grand plan!

It should be noted that the Emperor-level Fated Person of the Myriad Heavens was the most likely to be the first to achieve the Emperor Realm in this era.

They weren't contemplating whether one could achieve the Dao and become an Emperor, but rather who would be the first to become an Emperor in this era! If someone could be the first to achieve the Dao and become an Emperor, he would undoubtedly take away and absorb countless Luck from the Myriad Heavens Universe.

And this person could not be anyone other than those from their Lord's faction!

Therefore, they had to eliminate the appearing target at all costs. This was also the meaning of their existence, 'the Other Shore.' To some extent, they weren't even considered complete Myriad Heavens Cultivators, because the faction they served aimed to dominate and destroy the Myriad Heavens!

...“Why awaken me? The Great Emperor's Mandate of the Myriad Heavens has not yet appeared…” A low voice emanated. It was a tall and imposing young man, dressed in black, with deep, indifferent eyes, exuding an aura of unyielding authority, the pressure of a superior!

This person was precisely the Young Lord of this mysterious faction of the Other Shore. Though seemingly just a young Young Lord, his strength was incredibly terrifying, because the Other Shore had no Dominator, and one of the highest-ranking individuals was the Young Lord.

“Reporting to Young Lord, an Emperor-level Fated target has appeared, but he is too formidable. All twenty of our Immortal Stage One Cultivators were annihilated.”

A Cultivator reported.

Hearing this, the Young Lord of the Other Shore's eyes flickered, and he let out a cold snort: “I didn't expect such a person to be born in the Myriad Heavens during this Age of Dharma Decline? He possesses such remarkable strength even before the Great Emperor's Mandate has emerged. Truly extraordinary.”

At first glance, this Young Lord of the Other Shore also appeared to be completely petrified, but the difference was that he could “move freely” and was not restricted by the petrified state! Moreover, most of his head had already been freed from the petrified state.

His eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were all completely freed from the petrified state!

What remained was the part of his chin and neck!

This part was also the first stage of the Immortal Road system, and it was the very last part of the first stage. As long as it could be unfrozen, he would truly be able to rival a Great Emperor.

Undoubtedly, this Young Lord of the Other Shore was an extremely terrifying existence, one who could find no match below the Emperor Realm.

“Eh, another Emperor-level Fated Person has appeared.” At this moment, a powerful individual from the Other Shore couldn't help but speak. On their Fated Sense Map of the Other Shore, another red dot had appeared, and this red dot was also in the Reincarnation Immortal Road, suddenly emerging!

“How interesting.” The Young Lord of the Other Shore narrowed his eyes, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Then let this Young Lord properly meet these targets… Oh, and on the Burial Emperor Star side, the Purple Mansion should be serving my Lord [The End] just like us. We cannot let them snatch this credit.”

...Meanwhile, in the Reincarnation Immortal Road.

A figure in blue stepped out of the mysterious restricted zone. This was a young man, with a striking appearance and a cold demeanor, yet carrying an aura that seemed not to belong to this era. This was a Prodigy from a non-Age of Dharma Decline!

He hailed from ancient times! His identity, surprisingly, was that of a mysterious “Ancient Freak”!

The so-called Ancient Freak, firstly, refers to their origin; they are not from the current era but were sealed and slumbered from a certain ancient era. Secondly, their strength is incredibly powerful, almost invincible below the Emperor Realm, and they are also of the younger generation. Because they were sealed, their age was almost stagnant, not increasing. In other words, ancient young Prodigies awoke in a later era after slumbering.

Every Ancient Freak who sealed himself to come to later generations did so, without exception, because in their own era, the Great Emperor's Mandate was difficult to achieve, limited, and the position of Great Emperor had already been taken. They were considered “failures” and could only contend for the Mandate of other generations.

Of course, there have also been eras in history where Great Emperors frequently emerged, with almost no restrictions on the Mandate, but those were much more distant and ancient. Probably even before the era in which these Ancient Freaks lived, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to Seal themselves.

And now, this current era, called the Age of Dharma Decline, is also an era on the verge of revival, entering a glorious yet potentially destructive prosperous and chaotic age, and many Great Emperors will also appear in the future!

There will be many Great Emperors, certainly more than one.

So, what the Prodigies of this era must contend for is to be the first Great Emperor to achieve the Dao in the Myriad Heavens! Being the first to achieve the Dao and become an Emperor brings numerous benefits, infinite Luck, and can be said to have the right timing, geographical advantage, and even the support of people. Therefore, every hidden, mysterious, and ancient force is vying for it.

All Ancient Freaks will also contend… “It seems I woke up too early; no one else's aura has emerged yet.” The blue-clad youth, Qin Yi, walked alone. He sensed a more powerful aura in this Reincarnation Immortal Road, which stirred his Battle Intent, so he emerged.

Unexpectedly, after awakening and emerging, he could feel nothing, a sense of emptiness.

“Well, it doesn't matter. It won't be long before the contention for the Great Emperor's Mandate begins. I'll go to the Ancestral Star first.” He thought to himself, and the Ancestral Star he spoke of referred to the Burial Emperor Star.

In Qin Yi's era, the Burial Emperor Star was called the “Ancestral Star.”

However, not long after, Qin Yi, who was walking alone, searching for the entrance to the Burial Emperor Star, suddenly paused, as if sensing a threatening aura.

“Boom—”

At this moment, he unleashed a cold punch print towards a certain direction without hesitation. With this punch, cracks appeared in the Void Realm, shattering inch by inch.
