Chapter 3029: Death of Longevity

3029  Death of Longevity

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, "After more than an era, did the remaining eight people of the Heavenly Court not think of saving Great Emperor Flame Heaven?"

"It's not that easy for them to save him."

The tomb keeper said, "Furthermore, Flame Heaven isn't dead at all and won't die. He's just suffering in Greater Avici."

"More than an era can be said to be a long time for you guys. However, it's nothing for people like Flame Heaven."

"Furthermore, the eight of them have to preside over the Heavenly Court and protect the Nine Heavens Formation. They won't leave so easily."

With a thought, the Martial Dao Prime Body understood the reason.

The Fiend Lord's faction wanted to kill their way into the Nine Heavens at all times. If the eight Great Emperors from the Heavenly Court wanted to leave and head to Greater Avici, it would be easy for the Fiend Lord's faction to take advantage of the situation.

The four Daos of the Fiend Lord's faction could go against the Nine Heavens for several eras. Even when they were defeated, they could make a comeback. That was definitely not a fluke.

Furthermore, in the depths of the four Daos, there was an extremely mysterious Netherworld that controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Perhaps that was also something that the Heavenly Court was wary of.

The tomb keeper continued, "In the previous era, the eight people of the Heavenly Court had the intention to save Flame Heaven. However, they were worried that they would be trapped and did not attack personally. Instead, they let another person come to Avici."

Another person?

Avici referred to the infinity of space, time and suffering; even Emperors could not escape.

Apart from Great Emperor experts, who else was qualified to enter Avici?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body as he recalled a legend that Heavenly Wolf had mentioned to him!

Back then, the two of them wanted to head to Avici.

Heavenly Wolf was extremely afraid of Avici and mentioned something. It was said that Great Emperor Longevity had once come to the Heavenly World and stopped in front of Avici for a long time. In the end, he did not enter!

"The person you're talking about is Great Emperor Longevity?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

"That's right."

At the mention of Great Emperor Longevity, the tomb keeper seemed to be a little disdainful. It was completely different from when he mentioned Great Emperor Infinite.

The tomb keeper said, "Longevity cherished his life too much and sought after a long lifespan. In the end, he only lived for 20 million years and met with a bad end."

The Martial Dao Prime Body was stunned.

It turned out that Great Emperor Longevity did not die because his lifespan was exhausted. Instead, he met with a bad end!

The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned and asked, "In the previous era, Great Emperor Longevity did not help you guys conquer the Nine Heavens, so you guys killed him?"

"Heh!"

The tomb keeper laughed. "You're only half right."

"Longevity cherishes life. Before him, several Great Emperors of the medium chiliocosm were all defeated and died. Therefore, even though he knew the evil of the Heavenly Court, he did not dare to be enemies with them. Instead, he chose to join the Heavenly Court and prayed for a chance to ascend to the major chiliocosm and obtain immortality."

"However, he was too naive and underestimated the methods of those few experts from the Heavenly Court."

"In their eyes, most living beings in the major chiliocosm are ants, let alone living beings of the ten thousand races in the medium chiliocosm."

"Longevity thought that he could obtain the rewards of the Heavenly Court by lowering his status as a Great Emperor and wagging his tail to beg for mercy. However, in the eyes of those few, he's at most a dog!"

The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.

The tomb keeper had just said that the nine Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court were all from the major chiliocosm and were above the cultivation realms of Great Emperors.

However, he did not explicitly mention how much stronger than Great Emperors they were.

Just how strong were the nine in the major chiliocosm such that Great Emperor Longevity was nothing but a dog with a wagging tail in their eyes?

The tomb keeper continued, "Longevity did not obtain the chance to ascend to the major chiliocosm, but the Heavenly Court did not keep him idle either. Instead, they asked him to head to Avici and save Flame Heaven."

"Longevity arrived before Avici and stood for three years. Eventually, he did not go down still."

"Perhaps it was out of fear, or perhaps he figured it out himself that the Heavenly Court would not let him ascend to the major chiliocosm even if he saved Flame Heaven."

"Hehehehe…"

Suddenly, the tomb keeper laughed with a chilling and hair-raising tone!

"I wonder if it was because he's too stupid or he thought too kindly of those few from the Heavenly Court. However, he dared to return to report even though he did not complete the mission given to him by them…"

Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body thought of a possibility. Although he was unwilling to believe it, he still asked with difficulty, "He was killed by the Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court?"

The tomb keeper said indifferently, "The fact that he went against their wishes was already a huge crime. For many years, he was never given the chance to ascend and must have resentment in his heart. Do you think those people from the Heavenly Court would have let him lived and allow the chance of him joining forces with us?"

There was nothing pitiful about Great Emperor Longevity's outcome. It was probably his just deserts.

Compared to Great Emperor Infinite, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven and the other Great Emperor experts who tried to conquer the Nine Heavens and died in battle, the death of Great Emperor Longevity was way too pathetic.

However, when he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body's heart was still a little heavy as he sighed gently.

That was because the Nine Heavens was the court and blocked the path of all living beings to ascend. Coupled with the fact that they did not possess the environment and cultivation resources of the major chiliocosm, it was as difficult as ascending the heavens for a single Great Emperor to be born in the medium chiliocosm.

For that to happen, endless years had to pass and countless monster incarnates and paragons had to endure life and death situations to be eliminated.

After the Longevity Era, countless top experts appeared.

For example, the former Emperor Bo Xun and Emperor Immortal Vanquishing.

In this generation, the various super worlds also had peak Emperor experts and even a peerless monster incarnate like Die Yue. However, up till this day, no one could attain the Great Emperor realm!

Yet, so what if one became a Great Emperor?

In the eyes of the few people of the Heavenly Court, their lives were still worthless.

Great Emperor Longevity did not choose to resist the Heavenly Court. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of losing his life or because he compromised to attain the Great Dao of Longevity that he sought.

For the entirety of his life, Longevity merely sought longevity.

Great Emperor Longevity was even willing to put down his dignity as a Great Emperor and compromise. However, in the end, he did not even get the chance to live forever.

"Although, Longevity was rather capable still. He managed to escape from the Heavenly Court and returned to the medium chiliocosm."

The tomb keeper continued, "However, when he returned, he was already on his last breath. Before long, he died."

When they heard about Great Emperor Longevity's past, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue sighed internally.

Even at the cost of his life, Great Emperor Longevity wanted to return to the medium chiliocosm where his roots were.

The Martial Dao Prime Body believed that Great Emperor Longevity regretted it at the last moment.

He regretted putting down his dignity and compromising.

However, he no longer had the chance.

The only thing he could do was to return to the medium chiliocosm and leave behind his inheritance to give back to the living beings of the ten thousand races of the medium chiliocosm!

After a long time, the Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath of air and calmed down. He asked again, "Have you guys never thought of saving the Lord of Hell?"

The tomb keeper was expressionless, as though he did not hear anything and did not reply immediately.

The Martial Dao Prime Body's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly recalled something else!

That matter lingered in his heart for a long time without any clues. It was only at that moment that he gradually made headway.
