Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Three Decayed Ancient Immortals
"Ancient Immortal!"
Ren Changsheng took a deep breath. There were actually ancient immortal beings on this Ancient Immortal Battlefield, and from those three golden coffins, a terrifying pressure emanated.
That pressure was not even a ten-thousandth of the Ziwei Immortal Emperor’s.
"Little Star, are there Ancient Immortals inside these golden coffins?"
Ren Changsheng asked Little Star.
"Master, these are indeed Ancient Immortals, but they are sealed ones. Master, you need to subdue these Ancient Immortals to complete the mission!"
The voice of Little Star came through.
"Subdue the Ancient Immortals?"
Changsheng chuckled bitterly. Subdue the Ancient Immortals? How could that be possible! He was merely an Immortal King now, not even a match for an Immortal Emperor, let alone subdue Ancient Immortals!
"Right, who sealed these Ancient Immortals?"
Changsheng couldn’t help but inquire.
These were Ancient Immortals, after all!
The Ancient Immortals of the Immortal Realm, they are beings who are above even the Immortal Honored Ones. It is rumored that these people have embarked on the path of proving the Divine Dao, their combat power terrifying without bounds.
Each one of them could traverse the Immortal Realm unchallenged!
And here, there were three, three Ancient Immortals... Who could possibly seal three Ancient Immortals here and forge this Ancient Immortal Battlefield!
"These three Ancient Immortals were not sealed by someone else, but they sealed themselves voluntarily!"
Little Star’s voice rang again.
"Voluntary sealing!"
A flash of light sparked in Ren Changsheng’s eyes.
"That’s right, because their lifespans had reached the limit!"
Little Star spoke to Ren Changsheng.
"Lifespan has reached the limit!"
Ren Changsheng’s body shook. Lifespan? Ever since cultivating the path of immortality, Ren Changsheng had never heard of anyone dying of old age, as normal Immortals almost had infinite lifespans.
"Do Immortals also have a limit to their lifespan?"
Ren Changsheng asked Little Star.
"Master really is naive. Although Immortals are strong, they are not eternally indestructible. They are under the domain of the Heavenly Dao, and naturally, they must experience the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"
"Because the Ancient Immortals attempted to break through to the Divine Dao, their Five Decays of Heaven and Man were much more severe. A typical Ancient Immortal can only attempt to break through to the Divine Dao nine times. If unsuccessful after nine attempts, they will decay and wither away like rotten wood!"
Little Star’s voice emerged.
"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man, I see!"
Ren Changsheng immediately understood; the Five Decays of Heaven and Man were targeted at Immortals. For ordinary Immortals, going through the Five Decays of Heaven and Man was a gradual process, but for Ancient Immortals who struck at the Divine Dao, it happened much faster.
And so, their bodies decayed very quickly.
"If they were going to die, why would they still seal themselves here?"
Ren Changsheng asked in a heavy tone.
"With their bodies decaying, it means certain fall. No Ancient Immortal wishes to die. Having reached the apex, no one would willingly succumb to death. These three Ancient Immortals, having undergone the Five Decays of Heaven and Man nine times, had their lifespans at the brink. In order to survive, they lured countless Immortals to battle here, and as these Immortals fell, their immortal blood spilled into the grand formations, nourishing their decaying bodies!"
Little Star’s somber voice resonated.
"Is this merely clinging to survival?"
Ren Changsheng took a deep breath. Even Ancient Immortals could only clutch at life desperately. These three Ancient Immortals, were they not too pitiful?
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Just as Ren Changsheng was about to continue his inquiry with Little Star, outside the palace, a bedraggled figure descended. It was the Six-Turn Immortal Emperor.
The Six-Turn Immortal Emperor, finally arrived.
"Ren Changsheng!"
Seeing Ren Changsheng, the Six-Turn Immortal Emperor let out a silent sigh of relief. Changsheng had not entered the palace, which meant the Ancient Immortal inheritance was still inside.
"Six-Turn Immortal Emperor, you’re not dead!"
Golden Wing said coldly.
"Humph!"
The Six-Turn grunted, but didn’t say anything else, as with Ren Changsheng by Golden Wing’s side, he dared not act rashly.
"What a pity!"
At this moment, Ren Changsheng suddenly shook his head and sighed.
"Master, what do you find pitying?"
Golden Wing quickly asked.
"It’s a pity that the inheritance left here by the Ancient Immortals consists only of three decaying Ancient Immortals, and in the palace, there are only three Immortal Artifacts!"
"What a pity!"
Ren Changsheng uttered with regret.
"Three ancient immortal inheritances? Three ancient Immortal Artifacts..."
A Sixth Stage Immortal King, eyes shining brightly for a hundred zhang, ancient immortals in decay? It must be true, for he had heard the Ziwei Immortal Emperor mention, ancient immortals, too, can decay!
Only those ancient immortals on the brink of decay would leave behind their inheritances.
"Decayed ancient immortals, even if their ways are passed on, what of it? They will still dissipate in the end, so be it, these three ancient immortal inheritances, let them go!"
Watching the Sixth Stage Immortal King’s fervent gaze, Ren Changsheng’s sighing could be heard once more.
"Elder Changsheng, are you serious?"
The light in the Sixth Stage Immortal King’s eyes exploded with brightness, Ren Changsheng didn’t want the ancient immortal inheritance? At this moment, Jincheng looked up to Ren Changsheng with full admiration.
Disregarding even the ancient immortal’s inheritance, this is truly his master!
"Go ahead!"
Ren Changsheng’s mood seemed low, but in his heart, he now felt joy; that ancient immortal in the golden coffin, no one knows how powerful it still is!
Ren Changsheng wouldn’t dare to casually probe, so he could only let the Sixth Stage Immortal King go!
"Thank you, Elder Changsheng!"
The Sixth Stage Immortal King bowed deeply to Ren Changsheng, now regarding him in his heart as one of those ancient preeminent beings with boundless pride!
He simply didn’t set his sights on the decayed ancient immortal’s inheritance.
"Enough, enough."
Ren Changsheng shook his head and sighed. Then he turned around and sat down cross-legged in front of the Sixth Stage Immortal King, beginning to recover his energy.
"This is my chance!"
The Sixth Stage Immortal King stood up, his eyes ablaze with enthusiasm. Initially, he was most concerned about Ren Changsheng, but now that Ren Changsheng disdained the ancient immortal inheritance, wouldn’t it belong to him!
"Buzzing!"
Step by step, he walked towards the great hall.
Beside Ren Changsheng, Jincheng’s eyes held a hint of unwillingness; Ren Changsheng didn’t want it, but he desired the ancient immortal inheritance, was he to just watch as the Sixth Stage Immortal King took it away?
"Hmm!"
In front of the great hall, prohibitions descended, the Sixth Stage Immortal King’s body was repelled several steps, but in a moment, he summoned a Demigod Artifact for protection.
Step by step, he once again attempted to enter the great hall.
"Rumbles..."
Terrible prohibitions enveloped him, the Sixth Stage Immortal King’s face was deathly pale, he clenched his teeth and slowly approached the front of the great hall.
Ren Changsheng, sitting cross-legged, was also paying attention to the Sixth Stage Immortal King!
Time.
Slowly passed.
An hour later, after countless attempts, the Sixth Stage Immortal King finally reached the front of the great hall, his face flushed with excitement as he pushed open the doors of the great hall.
"Buzzing!"
The scene within the great hall appeared in front of the Sixth Stage Immortal King.
Inside the great hall.
There was a rack, on which lay three ancient Immortal Artifacts, the first one a sword, the second a War Spear, and the third, a ribbon.
The three ancient Immortal Artifacts lay quietly there.
Although there was not the slightest fluctuation on the ancient Immortal Artifacts, just one look was enough to feel the difference, as if a supreme power was pressing down.
"They are ancient Immortal Artifacts, three ancient Immortal Artifacts, all mine, the ancient immortal inheritance as well, hahaha..."
The Sixth Stage Immortal King, his eyes wild with joy, flashed forward, appearing right in front of an ancient Immortal Artifact, reaching his hand towards it.
"Master..."
Jincheng watched with envious eyes, but without an order from Ren Changsheng, he did not dare to make a move!
"Here it comes!"
Just as the Sixth Stage Immortal King touched the ancient Immortal Artifact, the golden coffin in the rear hall suddenly rose with a brilliant light, and the next moment, a shocking power descended.
"Die!"
"Boom!"
The Sixth Stage Immortal King, with an ancient Immortal Artifact in hand, was now looking up at the sky in horror, as he saw a palm imprint falling from above, seemingly carrying supreme power, locking onto him!
"No..."
The Sixth Stage Immortal King, his face filled with terror.
"Bang!"
His body was directly crushed!
