What?
Ye Qingyu did not pay much attention to the nameless Quasi-emperor’s later words . Instead, he focused his attention squarely on and was utterly astonished by the three mentioned names .
“[Drifting Cloud Emperor], [Sea Sand Emperor]… They also . . . ” He looked at the Quasi-emperor with a terribly shocked expression . The [Longevity Emperor] alone had deeply astonished him, yet it turned out that two other Martial Emperors had nourished the tree too .
Moreover, of these two Martial Emperors, one was part of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, while the other was a legendary, supreme Emperor of the Demon Race . Both were certainly beings who had amazed many generations .
“Look below the tree . ” The Quasi-emperor directed .
Hearing this, Ye Qingyu understood what to do and operated the [Eyes of the Void] to look into the ground below the Quasi-emperor . Those purple eyes saw through the ground surface and spotted an energy layer, beneath which was a most astonishing sight .
Submerged in the soil beneath the ground was a giant human who was sitting cross-legged . His body was even bigger than that of the nameless Quasi-emperor, such that he brought to mind the legendary primeval giants . His skin had already turned into stone, and it was only his figure which could be vaguely made out . However, Ye Qingyu was absolutely certain that this was not a stone or elemental formation but the body of a supreme being .
A Martial Emperor .
A real Martial Emperor .
What was more shocking was that there were three similar giant bodies beside the stone-hardened body of this Martial Emperor . They, too, appeared to have turned into stone and were incomparable in size, such that they reached several thousand kilometers below the ground . Although they seemed to be three Fiendgod statues which had been buried beneath the ground, Ye Qingyu was able to sense a heart-palpitating and most terrifying aura emanating from each of their bodies .
They’re each the body of a Martial Emperor .
This should be the three pinnacle beings, namely the [Longevity Emperor], the [Drifting Cloud Emperor], and the [Sea Sand Emperor], mentioned by the nameless Quasi-emperor, I guess . The roots of the World Tree are visibly growing in their petrified bodies, while white-colored roots and branches have perforated their bodies and thus grow both in and out . . .
This scene was shocking like no other .
Upon seeing it, Ye Qingyu completely believed the Quasi-emperor’s words .
This was because the evidence was right in his face, and the bodies of Martial Emperors were impossible to fake, after all .
He had never imagined that the members of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who were said to have perished or disappeared, as well as the peerlessly distinguished emperor of the Demon Race, would actually be here and had ended up like that . This was simply too terrifying .
“Why? Why did they do what they did?” he could not refrain from asking loudly .
An invincible Quasi-emperor and three Martial Emperors who each had ruled an age had chosen to sacrifice themselves . Is the legendary power of darkness really so frightening that an alliance of three Martial Emperors cannot withstand it?
“Because, they fully understood the truth about this world and knew how frightening the power of darkness is . Moreover, they’d lost too much in campaigns against the power of darkness and were unable to defeat it . As they understood the secret of the reincarnation of civilizations, they chose to sacrifice themselves in order to save the runic martial world of this epoch . They thus used their own flesh, blood, and foundation to nourish this World Tree . ” The Quasi-emperor gave a long sigh and spoke in a tone of helplessness yet anticipation .
Ye Qingyu remained silent for a long time .
This was, without a doubt, an absolutely terrible piece of news to him .
He had thought that his present battle strength was sufficient for him to walk within the Dark Realm and solve many problems . However, it now appeared that he had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well . He was certainly some way off from solving problems which even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were unable to solve .
“How about them?” He pointed at the phantoms of the eight supreme Heaven’s pridelings standing at the periphery of the canopy . “Why did they come here? And how did they end up like that?”
“These eight Heaven’s pridelings were vehement warriors who had resided in the [Guanlan Mountain Manor] before and thus understood a few secrets . They voluntarily killed themselves and entered a state of neither life nor death in order to protect this Netherworld plane . They also sacrificed their egos . ” The Quasi-emperor sighed . “They were all heroes of great will and aspirations . ”
Ye Qingyu somewhat understood this .
The Emperor of the Dragon Human Race once said that the Dragon Human Old Emperor and several preceding Dragon Human Emperors had killed themselves in order to slay the Ancient Dragon Human Emperor, and they thus entered a state of neither life nor death . Because their strength increased greatly as a result, they ultimately succeeded in one stroke to destroy the weapon used by the Ancient Dragon Human Emperor in the Dragon Human Race’s mausoleum . The eight supreme Heaven’s pridelings appeared to have used a similar secret technique .
They also chose to sacrifice themselves .
Their spirits remained in this Netherworld plane, serving as rangers who controlled the area . Only their bodies were left behind for their relatives in the physical world, but because they were spiritless, they appeared as though they had gone mad .
“When imparting the secret technique to them, I couldn’t refrain from preserving a wisp of spirit in their bodies so that they might have a chance of resurrection when the Netherworld plane has been developed to its fullest in the future . ” The Quasi-emperor lamented compassionately .
Ye Qingyu appeared to be absorbed in thought .
