God of Defiance

"What legend!?"

The young saint who asked the question hurriedly urged him after hearing this.

Others around him generally opened their eyes wide, staring at the short and fat Holy King, wanting to know what the legend was!

The short and fat Holy King showed a trace of memories and sighed and replied: "It's very simple, a legend about ancient times!"

Ancient times!

After hearing these two words, everyone around them was startled for a moment, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they all began to recall various bits and pieces of information about ancient times in their own minds.

According to the general historical records!

From ten thousand years ago to hundreds of thousands of years ago, it is basically the ancient times!

And the even longer period of hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago, belongs to the ancient times!

There are various records about the ancient times in the practice world of Zhongzhou, many, many, and relatively detailed. However, there are very few records about the ancient times, and they often only exist in the scripture collection pavilions of the Holy Land families.

The various emperor bosses and top forces that have appeared in ancient times are basically recorded in the classics, but basically no one knows what emperor bosses and top forces existed in ancient times.

It feels as if when you mention the ancient times, your memory is blank and full of mystery, and you have no idea what happened during that time!

At this moment, there was silence all around.

Pairs of eyes were staring at the short, fat Holy King with anticipation, patiently waiting for the latter's opinion.

"Haha, don't look at me like this! I may not know more about ancient times than you do, but I once read an ancient classic in the Xuanyuan Family's Scripture Pavilion. The author was once a member of the Xuanyuan Family. Quasi-Emperor!”

"According to the records of the quasi-emperor, the glory of the ancient times far exceeded that of ancient times. At that time, emperors coexisted and there were many races. Even the emperor was not necessarily the most powerful existence at that time!"

The short and fat Holy King first laughed at himself with a wry smile, then looked solemn and came up with an earth-shattering conclusion.

"What! In ancient times, even the emperor was not necessarily the most powerful existence. How is this possible!?"

In an instant, the young saint who asked the question suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a shocked expression on his face.

At this moment, it wasn't just him who looked shocked, most of the people around him also showed expressions of shock that couldn't be concealed.

In their impression, once the cultivation level reaches the level of Emperor, it is equivalent to standing on the top of the world. Among the same level, there may be strong and weak, but the difference will not be too big, let alone the strength to completely surpass The existence of the emperor!

Now the Pudgy Holy King actually told them that there once existed in ancient times a person whose strength completely surpassed the emperor. This was really hard for them to accept for a while!

The few warriors who did not show shock frowned slightly and fell into thinking.

"Senior, as far as I know, the only ones whose strength completely surpasses the emperor's are the immortals in the upper world. Could it be that there were powerful immortals in Zhenwu Continent in ancient times?"

Soon, a round-faced saint frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes flashed and they looked at the short and fat Holy King.

The strength of the immortals in the upper realm definitely surpasses that of the emperor, but the immortals in the upper realm are too powerful to break the barrier between the two realms and come down.

And there is a widely circulated saying in spiritual practice!

That is... even if the immortal really comes, he will be suppressed by the entire world. At most, his strength can only be maintained at the emperor level, and it may even be difficult to maintain the emperor level.

in other words!

In the entire world, the emperor level is the limit, and it is impossible to go higher!

Now the Pudgy Holy King says that in ancient times, there used to be people whose strength surpassed that of the Emperor. This is obviously contrary to the widely circulated statement in the spiritual world!

"Haha, although in ancient times, immortals from the upper world also visited the lower world, I am not talking about immortals, but the legendary... true spirits!"

The short and fat Holy King grinned and replied calmly.

What a spirit!

After hearing these two words, everyone at the scene frowned slightly, their brains were running at high speed, and they began to think about the information they had learned about the true spirit.

In everyone’s impression!

In various classics, the word "true spirit" rarely appears, and generally refers to powerful species such as true dragons, celestial phoenixes, and unicorns and basalts that only exist in legends.

But legends are legends after all. Just like immortals, no one can be sure that such things as true spirits once existed in Zhenwu Continent!

"Haha, according to the records of the quasi-emperor of the Xuanyuan family, true spirits did exist in ancient times, and they were extremely powerful. It was even possible to defeat the emperor and devour him. He is almost no weaker than those immortals who forcibly descended to the lower world!"

The short and fat Holy King looked solemn and continued.

hiss! hiss! hiss!

Hearing this, a large number of gasps of cold air immediately came from the surroundings, which were obviously shocked by the terrifying strength of those true spirits in ancient times.

"Of course! In those ancient times, the number of true spirits that could defeat the Emperor was extremely small!"

"At that time, it may be because the barrier between the lower world and the immortal world was relatively thin and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant. Some immortals paid the price and went down to the lower world to hunt down the true spirits for their own cultivation!"

"It's just that for some reason later on, the barrier between the lower world and the immortal world gradually became thicker, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became thinner. It became more and more difficult for immortals to go down to the lower world, and it became more and more difficult for true spirits and emperors to survive!"

"After this situation lasted for countless years, the ancient era ended and the ancient era entered. The number of emperors was greatly reduced. There was generally only one at the same time, and the true spirit almost disappeared completely and could never be found again!"

The short and fat Holy King expressed emotion and said in a deep voice.

"well……"

Upon hearing this, everyone around them immediately sighed secretly, showing their helplessness.

Since ancient times, the barrier between the lower world and the immortal world has become thicker and thicker, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner, the number of emperors has become increasingly rare, and it has become increasingly difficult to prove the way and become emperor.

Now, in the huge Zhongzhou cultivation world, there is not even one quasi-emperor, let alone an emperor. Thinking about it carefully, it is really pitiful and sad!

"I understand! Senior, do you mean to say that the super big fish Kun that took Chu Tian away just now was once a true spirit level existence!?"

Suddenly, someone shouted and expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, the short and fat Holy King nodded with a wry smile, and then shook his head: "Yes, but it's more than that! The mysterious ocean in the distance is probably the last trace left in the world from that extremely glorious era in ancient times. Afterimage!"

There was a deep sense of loss in his words that anyone could clearly feel.
