Timedeath looked at everyone present. He nodded his head and said, "Hmm, pretty excellent masters. However, Immortal will never bloom with such low talents like this."
The top masters were provoked and angered. The overlord was clearly looking down on them. It was the same went to the perfect immortals as well. They were all deemed to be geniuses above geniuses yet they were just being underestimated. It's not like they could do something about it, though. The enemy was a mythical being who could destroy the world if he wanted to.
Timedeath Overlord. Anyone who would hear this name would fall into their knees, trembling. He used to kill countless innocents in the past to satisfy his blood. The body count was too enormous that even the being himself lost count of it..
With his grand dao that able to manipulate time and space, he was pretty invincible in a sense.
They were all angry. However, how could their anger be a power to defeat this fearsome monster? Technically speaking, there was only one person who was capable of contending against him.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, the world shone with light. Thousand of stars and angelic hymns echoed in the entire place. It was comforting light that everyone sought for when they reach the end of their lives.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTimedeath smiled. He was already expecting this. He observed silently as the light diminished the dark aura in all parts of the world.
Soon, a figure appeared. It was very familiar to Windking as he personally met this person during the trip with Jin Rou. Every step of his contained the harmony of the heavens, shielding everyone from the tribulation. He looked like a god of descended from above.
The young cultivators didn't recognize this being, yet those ancient ones had a knowledge or two regarding this existence.
"One step to shine the world with light. Two steps to slay darkness." A very old ancestor said with deep words. His face was filled with expression and said, "Everlasting Sage!"
This single name instilled hope to those despairing cultivators. The strongest existence had finally appeared, to protect the world from darkness.
Everyone knelt down again to do a grand ceremony for the coming sage.
"Timedeath, the temptation must be so strong to make you come out." It came from Everlasting. His voice contained coldness and light at the same time. Although he didn't know what did the other side do to tempt this aloof being to help them, he knew that the other side must have spent a lot of their resources to get him.
In particular, he knew a treasure or two of what could possibly tempt this overlord. However, those were already hidden by the tides of time, nowhere to be found.
"Everlasting, it's good that you're still doing well." Timedeath didn't mind the comment and greeted the sage, "For millions of years of not seeing you, I thought you might have passed away."
"How can it be when you're still alive? I cannot kick the bucket unless you are the first to do it." Everlasting chuckled and looked at the other dark beings behind Timedeath, "Quite a terrifying line up."
Three overlords, one perfect immortal at perfect completion and Visva, who was hiding his abilities. This line up could truly sweep through the realms and ages of the world, uncontested. Not to mention, their Great Master had yet to come out. Furthermore, who knows how many masters were still hiding beyond that broken space?
"You must be perfectly aware that you cannot wind against us. Not to mention with Moonlast, even if you have the other two sages here, it wouldn't change anything." Timedeath shook his head, "You don't know how terrifying the dark realm is. They have spent all of their resources to go all out in this generation, so naturally they have so many ace cards."
The overlord wasn't bluffing. The dark realm had taken this generation as their last chance to devour it. If they still failed right now despite of that numerous and careful preparations, then their dark realm would be ceased to exist. Even he wasn't confident of defeating them.
Other than the Great Master, there were still two monsters that had the ability to go hand in hand with either Timedeath and Everlasting. So think about it, how much power had the dark realm accumulated in this countless of years of preparation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRather than dying in a useless manner, the overlord chose the best course of surviving this calamity. Of course, with a promised treasure at that.
Everlasting looked at the tore space and extended his senses. Two pair of eyes were watching them here, as if they were enjoying the show. His eyes widened in shock as he felt the terrifying power of those two hiding in the space!
They weren't any weaker than himself! The dark realm was truly serious in devouring Immortal. They wanted to spread and darkness and be the new leaders of the world.
"Moonlast." Everlasting spoke with a deep voice, "I'm giving you the responsibility to take care of all people here. I want you to bring them to the Isolated Heaven as soon as possible. I'm going to buy you time to do that."
The Isolated Heaven was the personal world created by the Founding Sage in the past. It was one of his two creations, aside from Neverland. It was a place where humans would be able to live normally but cultivation would decline in a rapid pace and there's not much you could do about it.
The door to this place would only open once a catastrophe that couldn't contain by the sages appeared. Simply put, it was the last card of survival that the Founding Sage had ascending to an unknown place.
"But what about you?" Moonlast knew what the first sage was trying to say.
"I have my own way of escaping after buying time for you. Go and find the other two sages, I have called for them and they would meet you soon." Everlasting explained. Although he said he had a way of escaping, that would be up to how fate if he's gonna be successful.
