Chapter 49: Brother, are you from three thousand years later?

The voice of the Heaven's Edge Great Emperor fell, and his indifferent expression made people's hearts instinctively shrink, their blood flowing backward.

No one wanted to know the true fate of offending a Great Emperor.

The pit that the old ancestor dug with his head is still there.

The disdainful posture of the Great Emperors made the faces of many holy land ancestors turn pale, their throats constricted.

"You may be Great Emperors, but don't bully people too much! We're not easy to push around!"

"If you push us too far, be careful we awaken the immortals sealed in the holy lands; then, even if you are Great Emperors, you cannot escape falling!"

They held a breath in their chests and forced out a roar.

Many Great Emperors, facing this threat, also saw their expressions change slightly.

It is said that, in many holy lands, many ancient immortals are sealed with divine source; they have also once gazed upon those beings, and even they, before those immortals, would feel their own insignificance.

These immortals are also the foundation of the holy lands.

Otherwise, how could the holy lands endure forever? It seems they sensed the Great Emperors' apprehension, for the holy sons and daughters no longer kept their earlier timid demeanor and began to clamor.

"What the ancestors said is right! You'd better be sensible and release us quickly!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to get away with it!"

"Once the ancestors summon the immortals, none of you will survive!"

"You know fear now? Hurry up and let me go!"

Their clamor was indeed loud, clearly a fine voice for opera, yet not a single threatened Xia person so much as flinched.

They didn't even bother to respond, completely unmoved.

What immortals, not immortals? In our past lives we were immortals! What's there to fear? Damn it, three thousand years ago, when I guarded the border of the Milky Way, you didn't even know what you were!

He stroked his chin, feeling increasingly annoyed.

"Here, brother, you say, should we deal with these unworthy descendants?"

Upon hearing this, the Xia people immediately agreed, pulling out a slightly ferocious smile.

"Well said! Exactly to my liking."

"Unworthy descendants deserve to be cut down!"

No one expected that the many Xia people would be so stubborn, having already heard them bring out the immortals, yet still saying they'd act as soon as they moved— all the holy land elders from every direction were dumbfounded.

Next, they gritted their teeth.

"Fine, fine, fine— this is you forcing us!"

"Do you think we're joking?"

"Then today, let you gain a long experience!"

"Experience, again experience."

The innocent humans caught up in it lamented in their hearts.

They didn't want to gain more experience! In the wars of gods and emperors, couldn't we first exclude them? They felt they already had enough experience! Alas, their cries in their hearts went unheard.

The holy land elders hardened their hearts, and in an instant they cut open their palms, forcing the blood to spurt out along the lines of their hands, forming a strange fountain.

Their faces grew paler, yet their eyes flickered with determined, obstinate flame.

"Pa!"

"Palms pressed together!"

All the holy land elders together spat out a mouthful of heart's essence blood, splashing the blood onto the great formation that had silently risen beneath their formation at some point.

Dark red split half the sky.

"Please!"

"Immortal!"

One after another, the sealed immortals, after many years, had their divine source opened; in that instant, their aura swept across the Imperial Pass! Their hollow eyes snapped open, filled with worldly scenery and the seven emotions and six desires, and in the next instant, divinity took supremacy! Immortals!

They emerged! Countless immortals sealed by divine source flashed into the sky above the Imperial Pass, their divinity leaking out, causing countless humans to cough up a mouthful of blood!

The posture of the immortals cannot be gazed upon directly! Their terrifying aura made everyone tremble, and even caused the holy land elders to split their blood‑stained lips and laugh loudly.

"Immortal!"

"We have summoned the immortals!"

"You're finished!"

"Hahaha!"

The holy land elders from all sides, even if wounded, could not hide the smug look on their faces, and the oppressed holy sons were likewise, as if finally someone had backed them up, their arrogance unbound.

"Ancestors summon immortals! You're doomed— wait to die, you bunch of idiots!"

"This is the retribution for you killing my holy land's holy sons and bullying my holy land's helpless!"

"The divine race doesn't need you to lift a finger; your self‑important days are over."

"After all, it's just a few Great Emperors— how could they stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with immortals?"

The humans inside the Imperial Pass spat out a mouthful of blood, but after wiping their chins they were fine; everyone was shocked, the trembling of their skin making them even more incredulous.

Humans actually still have such foundations? These old things are hoarding secrets!!

Many people almost instantly reacted, yet they dared not speak out in anger, only feeling sorrow in their hearts.

If these immortals had been awakened a step earlier, wouldn't countless humans not have died so hastily? But…

Their compatriots died at the hands of a crowd that cared only for power and their own status, a bunch of fools.

How ridiculous.

Also…… hateful! Those elders didn't think anything of it, and were even too lazy to care about others' opinions.

With immortals in hand, who would dare defy the holy lands? Hmph! Their eyes burned with fervor, their hearts yearning, they fantasized that in five years the immortals would act directly, slaying these clueless Great Emperors, then make that group of reincarnated Xia people submit, preferably training them all into the holy lands' lackey enforcers! In this way, this appearance could be considered breaking even.

Moreover, someone bowed deeply, their voice ringing with fervor.

Please, immortal, take action and help us eliminate the bandits!

Slay those thieves who disturb our holy land!

The divine source slowly shattered in the air, like clear, sparkling crystal fragments, vanishing without a trace.

And each awakened immortal, the divinity in their eyes, upon seeing that flash of scarlet flag fluttering on the city wall, instantly retreated—replaced by tears welling up! They moved!

They opened their mouths!

Brothers, it's been three thousand years; I've finally made it through!

Holy shit, it's been so hard, three thousand years—do you know how I've survived these three thousand years?

Who is it? Who woke me, the old guy? Where are the demons?

Come on, buddy, my cultivation has reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm, but who dares provoke us humans?

My great treasure sword is hungry for battle! Come fight!

At this moment, all the ancestors of the holy land were stunned.

Wait...

This rhythm, this opening line—could something be wrong? Surely they've fallen into an illusion? Actually what these immortals are saying is: "What petty villain dares to violate the holy land? Today we shall wash it with blood!" Right? That must be it!! However, even if they cast spell after spell to dispel the illusion, what they still see is this group of immortals, and they still say: "Brothers, what time is it now?"

How come everyone's here, looking at what?

Looking at what...

The holy land elder finally couldn't control himself, his whole body turning gray-white.

How...

How could this be! His little immortal...
