Chapter 1018: 312: The Return of the Ancient Gods_5
In another direction, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi exuded a majestic and overwhelming imperial aura. His keen eagle-like gaze scanned the surroundings, and his eyes carried a dignity that few living beings in the Three Realms dared to meet directly.
He was a powerful figure not inferior to Emperor Jun. Back in the days of the great battle to expel Emperor Jun, he made significant contributions and ended up in a draw with Emperor Jun.
However, he never expected.
That he would eventually follow in Emperor Jun’s footsteps, being expelled from the Three Realms, driven beyond the heavens.
He still remembered that when he met Emperor Jun outside the heavens, they first engaged in a battle, and then Eastern Emperor Tai Yi felt utterly embarrassed.
Expelling others, only to end up in the same fate as an old rival, was certainly an ironic twist.
This was all orchestrated by The Three Pure Ones. Thinking of this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s gaze seemed as if he wanted to devour someone.
His hatred towards The Three Pure Ones was deeply rooted.
Of course, Emperor Jun felt the same, hating The Three Pure Ones equally.
Beside him stood several formidable figures. Although they did not accompany the Sun and Moon, they were still quite powerful.
Among them, Sun Wukong noticed a familiar figure, none other than Senior Commander-in-Chief.
His eyes flashed with a gleam, indicating that Senior Commander-in-Chief had become a Supreme. His aura was impressive, and even standing next to Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, he could still emit his own brilliance.
Behind them, a group of powerful beings stood silently, exuding an iron-blooded aura, with a terrifying killing intent permeating the air, causing all the gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms to feel a chill down their spines.
The Ancestral Dragon, within the Dragon Palace, gazed at the distant figures.
Upon sensing their auras, the Ancestral Dragon gasped in astonishment.
He exclaimed in shock, “Such formidable power, is this Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi? No wonder Sun Wukong and the others look as if facing formidable foes, indeed they are extremely powerful. If I had such enemies, I fear I wouldn’t eat or sleep well.”
Hearing the Ancestral Dragon’s words, Ao Zhan said, “Father, you are correct. These two are among the strongest in the late stage, not weaker than Haotian, and perhaps even stronger. Emperor Jun fought Haotian God to a draw even before becoming the Heavenly Emperor, and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi also ended in a draw with the late-stage Emperor Jun.”
Upon hearing Ao Zhan’s words, the Ancestral Dragon gasped again.
He knew very well how powerful Haotian God was, undoubtedly a peerless powerhouse.
In the ranking of The Primordial’s top ten strong ones, Haotian God ranked first.
This was already a clear indication.
The Ancestral Dragon was certain that if he faced Haotian God, he definitely wouldn’t be a match, as the disparity was too significant.
In The Primordial’s top ten strong ones, the first-ranked Haotian God was not on the same level as the others.
During the Primordial Era, Haotian God was recognized as a figure approaching the strength of The Three Pure Ones.
Emperor Jun could fight him before becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms, showing how powerful Emperor Jun was.
And Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was even more remarkable.
After becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms, Emperor Jun’s strength would undoubtedly improve.
Yet even so, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi could still fight him to a draw, which demonstrated Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s even more formidable power.
“The powerful figures of later generations are truly awe-inspiring. I can’t understand why we, the fallen failures of The Primordial, have anything to be proud of. We are just a group of losers, resurrected by some unknown strong person, given a chance to reappear in the world again.”
The Ancestral Dragon lamented.
He knew very well that if it weren’t for that unknown strong person using powerful divine skills to resurrect them,
they would inevitably be submerged in the long river of time, disappearing completely.
Even in the end, no one would know their names, with no chance of resurrection again.
Ao Zhan was quite speechless, looking at his father, actually sharing the same sentiment, not understanding why these people found pride.
Thinking of the arrogance of the ancient gods and devils at the beginning, looking down on everything, they have finally calmed down.
There were already many strong figures in the later generations, not at all weaker than them.
Strong figures like Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were truly terrifying.
They were approaching the strength of The Three Pure Ones. Although still a bit inferior, they were already very close.
Such strength, looking at this Primordial Era, was rarely possessed by others.
However, Ao Zhan dared not say it out loud.
If he did speak, then his father probably wouldn’t be able to maintain his dignity.
At that point, wouldn’t it still be him suffering, likely getting a lesson?
Ao Zhan wasn’t foolish; why would he give his father the chance to scold him?
So, he kept his mouth shut.
Seeing Ao Zhan stay silent, the Ancestral Dragon slapped his head, nearly knocking Ao Zhan unconscious.
Ao Zhan looked bewildered, staring at his father, not knowing what he meant.
Why would he hit him?
The Ancestral Dragon said discontentedly, “What was that look you just had? Do you look down on your father? You dare not respond when I’m speaking, really, you’ve grown defiant.”
Ao Zhan: “…”
He thought that by not speaking, there’d be no problem.
Unexpectedly, he miscalculated; even silent, he got hit.
If his father wanted to hit him, he didn’t need a reason, or any reason would do.
Ao Zhan sighed and apologized to the Ancestral Dragon.
For, after all, the other was his father, and he was the son.
