The Evil God Clan has thirteen Immortals!
The Human Clan has nine Immortals!
From the words of Emperor Ziwei, Gu Qingfeng finally understood the true foundation of the two races.
This number astonished him. Although he already knew Immortal existence was rare, he hadn't expected it to be this scarce.
Twenty-two Immortals!
Is this number a lot?
Actually, it's not many at all.
After all, the Endless Immortal Domain is vast and boundless, even the Heavenly Venerate find it difficult to comprehend its boundaries.
In this vast Chaos, stars are as numerous as sands in the Ganges, immortal domains are like waves in the ocean, and beings are infinite.
In such a vast Chaos, who knows how many immortal domains exist, and even less how many Heavenly Venerates there are.
Every era sees the rise of individuals of astounding talent, and every epoch has numerous prodigies competing.
But among so many Heavenly Venerates, only twenty-two became Immortal, showing how difficult it truly is to step into immortality.
However—
Emperor Ziwei mentioned that the Human Clan, at its peak, once had twenty-four Immortals, which showed Gu Qingfeng the past glory and prosperity of the Human Clan.
Now, the two races combined have only twenty-two Immortals.
When the Human Clan was at its peak, one race alone had twenty-four Immortals, highlighting the disparity.
From twenty-four to nine, the decline of the Human Clan is evident.
At this point, Emperor Ziwei spoke again, his voice carrying a barely noticeable gravity: "I have three hundred billion years left, and then I'll face the thirteenth Heavenly Tribulation, which is also the last Heavenly Tribulation."
"This tribulation is called the Tribulation of Transcendence. Throughout the endless Chaos, the Heavenly Venerates who truly reached the Twelve Tribulations can be counted on one hand.
But no Immortal has ever survived the Tribulation of Transcendence."
At this, Emperor Ziwei paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space to see that distant future.
His voice carried a touch of ethereality, along with a hint of gravity.
"Of course, it's possible that in some ancient ages unknown to even me, there was someone who defied heavens and reached transcendence, but without witnessing transcendence, no one can know.
But for all Immortals, their pursuit is transcendence."
"However, the Tribulation of Transcendence is a true death tribulation, and I'm not certain of surviving it!"
He spoke these words frankly, without any concealment.
Even for a being like Emperor Ziwei, faced with the legendary Tribulation of Transcendence, there is no certainty of victory.
Hearing Emperor Ziwei's words, Gu Qingfeng was greatly shaken.
He had originally thought that being Immortal was the endpoint of cultivation, but unexpectedly, above immortality, there was the realm of transcendence.
Moreover, it's not difficult to understand from Emperor Ziwei's words that the peril of the Tribulation of Transcendence far exceeds imagination.
In short, the person before him has overcome twelve Immortal Heavenly Tribulations and reached the peak level of immortality.
Twelve Immortal Heavenly Tribulations, what does this signify?
It means that the person has reached the utmost in the realm of immortality, and one step further is the legendary transcendence.
The gap of each Immortal Tribulation is something Gu Qingfeng could not comprehend.
But he could imagine that it must be a world of difference.
Just like the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Venerable, the gap of each tribulation is extremely astonishing.
A One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate is like an ant in front of a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.
By this reckoning, the gap in the Twelve Immortal Tribulations would definitely not be simple.
Being able to overcome twelve Immortal Heavenly Tribulations, the power of Emperor Ziwei has probably reached an unimaginable level.
This Emperor Ziwei stands as a powerful being at the end of immortality.
Among the nine Immortals of the Human Clan, he is undoubtedly the mightiest being.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood why the Human Clan, even lacking three Immortals compared to the Evil God Clan, could still stand firm.
This, most likely, is inseparably linked to Emperor Ziwei.
The deterrent power of a Twelve Tribulations Immortal can only be imagined.
Even if the Evil God Clan has thirteen Immortals, they must weigh their own strength before Emperor Ziwei.
Noticing the shock in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, Emperor Ziwei, seemingly able to read his thoughts, smiled indifferently: "You're correct. As long as I remain, the Immortals of the Evil God Clan dare not act, even though they also have a Twelve Tribulations presence."
"But at our level, we're all pursuing transcendence. Should war break out rashly, even if one side wins, if their foundation is damaged, transcendence becomes hopeless.
And on the day I undergo the tribulation, the Evil God Clan will surely launch an invasion, for they won't allow a transcendent to emerge from the Human Clan."
"Likewise, if I fall during the Tribulation of Transcendence, the Evil God Clan will not miss such a prime opportunity to annihilate the Human Clan!"
As Emperor Ziwei spoke these last words, his demeanor grew more serious.
This is not alarmist talk but an impending reality.
Gu Qingfeng remained silent.
It was evident that the survival of this Emperor Ziwei is in fact critical to the future of the Human Clan.
If there is no one to guard them, the Evil God Clan would have no more concerns.
The remaining eight Immortals most likely wouldn't withstand the assault of the Evil God Clan.
Thirteen against eight, the gap is too vast.
Moreover, within the Evil God Clan, there is also a Twelve Tribulations existence. Without Emperor Ziwei, the Human Clan would no longer have the means to resist.
"Three hundred billion years, neither long nor short, in ancient times, there were Immortals who claimed to be incredibly powerful, transcending three Immortal Divine Tribulations in ten thousand years, stepping into the Immortal Third Realm."
Emperor Ziwei's gaze fell upon Gu Qingfeng, carrying a hint of expectation: "Your potential is immense. I have never seen anyone who could compare to you.
