390: Emperor's Plan

Most of those who spoke at this time were the ones who had discovered something strange when the Road to Immortality first opened.

There was no need to mention the Immortal Light and Immortal Qi, but those eerie and terrifying creatures were no different from the Yin Soldiers that appeared when a Great Tomb opened.

If it weren't for the terrifying scene unfolding from a corner behind that door, they wouldn't have exerted so much effort to assault the Immortal Path.

And the current situation was indeed as they had predicted; there was something strange behind it all.

However, they were fearless.

They were confident that their own strength was enough to shatter all conspiracies and schemes.

Emperor Venerable's eyes turned, looking at the speaker.

His eyes moved slightly, then he let out a cold laugh.

"So it was you. Ten thousand years ago, I once gifted you a wondrous great medicine, helping you ascend to the supreme Realm. At that time, you were full of gratitude towards me, even saying that your descendants would serve as slaves."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Emperor Tianji, who had been speaking, instantly changed his expression.

"That person was you?"

The others, hearing this, also showed moved expressions.

Could it be that after Emperor Venerable disappeared from the Mythological Era, he had already been laying out plans across the heavens and earth?

Even the ascension of many Great Emperors had his shadow behind it?

The information contained within this was too terrifying.

What exactly was Emperor Venerable plotting?

Why would he not hesitate to waste some top-tier resources to help a peerless Prodigy ascend to the highest imperial throne?

At this instant, some Dark Supremes who had obtained certain special Opportunities, all looked nervous.

They constantly pondered whether someone else had calculated their journey all along.

However, not everyone had such thoughts.

Some among them remained firm in their own Dao, believing that their journey was a manifestation of their own luck and Dao.

It should have no connection with so-called relationships.

Nevertheless, even so, they showed some apprehension towards the Emperor Venerable before them.

Emperor Venerable was too ancient, even far more ancient than Carefree Celestial Venerable.

It was highly possible that he had already stepped into that Realm, as his entire body was entwined with Immortal Qi and Immortal Dao Laws.

It was hard to say that he hadn't stepped into the legendary Realm.

It was just that the state he displayed at this moment was too broken, causing everyone to feel somewhat uncertain and surprised.

A Dark Supreme spoke up.

"Emperor Venerable, what is your intention? You gathered all of us here, even sacrificing countless living beings."

Soon, someone remembered that when the so-called Road to Immortality opened earlier, those Saints who were closer all died in an instant.

At first, they thought it might be because the level of the Immortal Sound was too high, and these Saints themselves were too weak.

As a result, they couldn't bear such good fortune and thus exploded and died.

This was not an extremely rare occurrence.

However, now that the strangeness of the Road to Immortality had appeared, and Emperor Venerable behind it had also revealed himself.

It was hard for everyone not to speculate in this direction.

Perhaps this was originally Emperor Venerable's deliberate act, sacrificing all these beings.

Then his final plot must be enough to shake the heavens.

Even they, these people, were part of this plot.

It was precisely because of this that everyone stared intently at Emperor Venerable.

They wanted to see what he would say.

Emperor Venerable heard this and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You want to know? Do you really want to know?"

Two consecutive questions made everyone's heart sink.

Immediately, a Saint Spirit spoke loudly.

"Emperor Venerable, although you are powerful enough and come from the Mythological Era, there's no need to be mysterious anymore. Just state your purpose."

Emperor Venerable heard this, and the expression on his face became even more bizarre.

Finally, he spoke the shocking answer.

"Can't you see the injuries on my body? Sacrificing those living beings is enough to save me a lot of time."

Although everyone had speculated at the beginning, upon hearing this sentence, they still couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

In fact, these Dark Supremes had all been invincible in an era.

They had witnessed too many strange things.

Many of these strange things even originated from these Dark Supremes themselves.

However, never before had anything caused such terror since ancient times.

An Emperor Venerable was actually using them, these powerful individuals, as sacrifices.

Especially now, the cauldron trapped all of their Dark Supremes here.

It was hard to say that he didn't also want to sacrifice them all.

But what truly made everyone's hearts tremble was not this.

It was because Emperor Venerable had once been invincible in the Mythological Era.

During the Mythological Era, the Dao Laws between heaven and earth were more complete.

It wasn't only possible for one powerful invincible being to be born; there were a full 9 Celestial Venerables at the same time.

Emperor Venerable was the head of the nine Great Celestial Venerables, a truly supreme and powerful being who controlled everything.

His ancientness and power far exceeded everyone present's imagination.

And to be able to heavily injure such an existence, it was hard not to be curious about the fundamental reason for Emperor Venerable's injuries.

"Then what do you intend by imprisoning us here?"

Someone spoke again.

Clearly, they already had an answer in mind, but still wanted to hear a definitive reply.

Emperor Venerable heard this and smiled indifferently.

"You've clearly already guessed that I intend to devour all of you, so why bother asking?"

"Aren't you afraid that we will undergo extreme sublimation and fight to the death?"

An ancient, naturally born Saint Spirit spoke with a deep voice at this moment.

His voice rumbled, shaking this Small World.

Fully displaying his powerful demeanor.

But Emperor Venerable merely smiled indifferently.

"In front of an absolute powerhouse, quantity is never enough to achieve qualitative change."

"What difference are you to ants in my hands?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly activated their own Imperial Dao Laws, circling their bodies, and vigilantly looked at Emperor Venerable as if facing a formidable enemy.

This statement had too much audacity.

Which one of them present had not regarded others as ants?

Who among them had not been invincible in an era, suppressing countless living beings?

Each of them was a proud individual, yet now they were spoken to in such a manner by another.

He even declared that he would suppress all of them with his own strength.

Even with their pride, they had never claimed that one person's strength was enough to contend with multiple Dark Supremes.

Yet, Emperor Venerable before them possessed such confidence.

It was hard for them not to feel worried.

Especially since Emperor Venerable, despite his severe injuries, could still make such statements.

They couldn't afford to be careless.

Just at this moment.

Carefree Celestial Venerable gently shook his head, then calmly walked forward.

He gently lifted the hem of his ancient Daoist robe and sat on the steps with a nonchalant air.

He looked up at Emperor Venerable on the celestial throne.

"I know my fate. Can you answer one question for me in these final moments?"

He achieved the Dao in the Mythological Era and knew Emperor Venerable's power better than anyone.

All resistance now was merely a futile struggle; ultimately, everyone would fall at Emperor Venerable's hands.

Even he was no exception.

Therefore, at this moment, he appeared extraordinarily calm, even without any intention of fighting.

Emperor Venerable's eyes lowered.
