Chapter 2039: True Opponent Translator: Legge Suddenly, the Thunder Emperor’s mood darkened. He stood on the peak and looked into the distance with a conflicted expression in silence. A long time later, the Thunder Emperor said softly, “I’m about to leave Divine Firmament Mainland.” Feng Ziyi said hurriedly, “Grandpa, where are you going? We’ll go together.” “You’re the true soul of Remnant Night,” Perfected Immortal Burial Night said, “Remnant Night will be wherever you are.” !! The Thunder Emperor shook his head gently. “You guys can’t follow me.” “Why not…” Feng Ziyi had already guessed the answer when she asked that question. The Thunder Emperor sighed gently. “I’m the target of King Anshi and King Tianxing. If you stay by my side, you can die at any moment. We can only survive if I separate from you guys.” Perfected Immortal Burial Night had known the Thunder Emperor for many years and quickly understood what he meant. The Thunder Emperor might not be able to escape from the hands of two Immortal Kings alone. If he brought Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi along, it would be inconvenient for them to move and they would be a greater target. At that time, the three of them would die! Su Zimo pondered for a moment and asked, “Senior Thunder Emperor, what if you can break through to the Grotto-heaven realm and become an Immortal King? Will you be able to suppress King Anshi and King Tianxing? Will you no longer have to escape?” “Become a king after advancing to the Grotto-heaven realm?” The Thunder Emperor smiled and shook his head. “It’s not that easy to step into the Grotto-heaven realm and become an Immortal King. Because of the help of your Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng this time round, I’ll be able to recover after recuperating for a period of time.” “However, back then, I failed to become a king. If I want to attempt to break through to the Grotto-heaven realm again, the difficulty will increase by a hundred, a thousand times! If I don’t have any great opportunities, I might not be able to break through to the Grotto-heaven realm in my lifetime!” Su Zimo remained silent in pity. Although the Thunder Emperor escaped, the unforeseen event back then still caused him irreparable damage! Just for the long period of time that he was suppressed in the Ten Absolute Hell for more than 400,000 years, who could compensate him? The Thunder Emperor continued, “Furthermore, even if I can advance to the Grotto-heaven realm and become a king, I have to leave this place. My opponents are not just one or two Immortal Kings…” The Thunder Emperor hesitated. King Anshi and King Tianxing were backed by the entire Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Even if the Thunder Emperor was conferred the title of king, he was weak alone and it would be difficult for him to fight against an Immortal Kingdom! “Where are you going?” Perfected Immortal Burial Night asked, “Which of the nine Immortal Domains is it? Or is it Lin Zhan’s place?” Lin Zhan was the Human Emperor. Pausing for a moment, Perfected Immortal Burial Night continued, “However, I heard that for some reason, Lin Zhan was severely injured thousands of years ago.” “He originally had a chance to advance to the Emperor realm. Because of that injury, he lost the chance to become an Immortal Emperor. I wonder if he’s recovered now.” When he heard that, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. Thousands of years ago? Could it be the time when the Human Emperor descended? Su Zimo recounted the Ten Thousand Race Meet in Tianhuang Mainland hurriedly. The Thunder Emperor and Perfected Immortal Burial Night were moved when they heard that! “Lin Zhan is truly worthy of his title as the Eternal Human Emperor!” Perfected Immortal Burial Night lamented. The Thunder Emperor sighed. “If one forcefully descends to the lower world without reaching the Emperor realm, they will definitely suffer a backlash from the Heaven and Earth laws. It might be difficult for them to recover from such an injury for the rest of their lives. In fact, it’ll be extremely difficult if they want to become an Emperor ever again!” At that time, the Human Emperor descended upon Tianhuang Mainland and his body was destroyed by the Heaven and Earth laws, leaving with severe injuries. Su Zimo had not imagined that the Human Emperor’s descent would have such a huge impact on him such that he missed the chance to become an Immortal Emperor! Even so, the Human Emperor did not hesitate and descended upon Tianhuang Mainland, turning the tides to save the human race from danger! It was only at that moment that Su Zimo realized how much the Human Emperor had paid to descend. According to the Thunder Emperor, there was a high chance that the damage caused by the Heaven and Earth laws would accompany the Human Emperor for the rest of his life and he would never have the chance to advance to the Emperor realm in the future! The Thunder Emperor shook his head. “Lin Zhan can’t protect me. If I go to his place, I’ll implicate him instead.” At that point, Su Zimo could not help but ask, “Although the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom is powerful, it’s only in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Could King Jin’s reach extend so far?” “Do you really think that King Jin is the only one who wants me dead?” The Thunder Emperor asked instead. Su Zimo was momentarily stunned. The Thunder Emperor had a dejected expression and smiled. “Back then, I was in seclusion in Divine Firmament Palace and was prepared to break through to the Perfected Immortal realm and step into the Grotto-heaven realm. Without that person’s silent approval, King Tianxing would not have had a chance at all and he would not have dared to attack me.” Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly in shock and realization. Although the Thunder Emperor did not say it explicitly, the person he was referring to should be the master of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Divine Firmament Immortal Emperor! Feng Ziyi had once said that the Thunder Emperor was like the sun in the midday skies back then and obtained the position of a Supreme Perfected Immortal. He was even taken in by the Divine Firmament Immortal Emperor. In other words, the Thunder Emperor was considered as the disciple of the Divine Firmament Immortal Emperor! If not for the acquiescence of the Divine Firmament Immortal Emperor, how would King Tianxing dare to attack the disciple of the Immortal Emperor in Divine Firmament Palace? The Thunder Emperor was severely injured and his Dao Fruit shattered, suppressed in the Ten Absolute Hell. With King Jin ascending the throne and establishing the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, King Tianxing was also placed in an important position.𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 Neither of them received any punishment! That further confirmed the Thunder Emperor’s guess! Earlier on, the Thunder Emperor said that his opponents were not one or two Immortal Kings. He hesitated and did not continue. Now, Su Zimo realized that the Thunder Emperor was not only facing the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, but also the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain or even an unimaginably massive faction! The Thunder Emperor’s grand wish triggered the interests of all the native immortals of the upper world and shook their foundation. Therefore, the Thunder Emperor had to die! In that case, the Thunder Emperor might not even be able to reside in the entire Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, let alone the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. “Where are you going?” Perfected Immortal Burial Night asked, “Pure Land of Bliss?” The Heavenly World was divided into three major regions, the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Pure Land of Bliss and the Fiend Domain. In the middle was a sacred tree that connected everything to form a gigantic world. There were mostly immortal cultivators in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain. As for the Pure Land of Bliss, most of them were monks. The Fiend Domain was filled with fiend sect cultivators. “Given my situation, I’m afraid the Pure Land of Bliss won’t be able to accommodate me either,” The Thunder Emperor pondered for a moment and a decisive look flashed through his eyes. “I’m prepared to head to the Fiend Domain!” “Fiend Domain!” Perfected Immortal Burial Night was alarmed. “Most of the cultivators in the Fiend Domain are evil and bloodthirsty, doing everything according to their wishes while being completely unreasonable. There are dangers everywhere and every step is dangerous. If you go there…” “Fufu,” The Thunder Emperor smiled. “On the surface, the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain is filled with righteous gentlemen. However, that’s all there is to what they do. The lives taken by the hands of these immortal cultivators are no less than those of the Fiend Domain!” Su Zimo nodded to himself. Everything else aside, the fact that they forced 10,000 living beings of the lower worlds to kill one another in the Hunting Meet just for their entertainment was enough to send chills down one’s spine. “Furthermore, from what I know, not everyone from the Fiend Domain is evil,” The Thunder Emperor continued, “There are also cultivators like me who are not tolerated by the immortal and Buddhist Daos and can only head to the Fiend Domain to cultivate.”
