622 Side by Side King

The vast difference between him and the Holy Emperor, both being martial emperors, deeply shocked and saddened him.

That one strike, just one strike, or rather, a simple punch, almost killed him! Zong Wuming had never imagined that he, a fellow Martial Emperor, would be so utterly vulnerable before the Holy Emperor.

The scene is as vivid as if it happened yesterday; it's still clear in my mind and fills me with trepidation!

That punch seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, unmatched, coming from afar and piercing through time, instantly injuring him severely. Although he tried his best to resist, he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of that terrifying power, utterly powerless to fight back.

Having escaped death, he hid from the Holy Emperor, not daring to show his face. Only recently, after the Holy Emperor disappeared, did he dare to cautiously spy on him and check the truth!

As for revenge, he doesn't want to face the Holy Emperor unless he breaks through to the Martial Emperor level!

After that incident, Zong Wuming constantly reviewed the events and investigated the reasons behind them!

Recalling the despair and helplessness of that moment, Zong Wuming felt a deep sense of resentment.

More importantly, he understood that his breakthrough in sacrificial cultivation was ultimately due to external forces. He could still crush those below the Martial Emperor level, but the gap between them and the Holy Emperor was much greater!

The gap between himself and the Holy Emperor lies more in their understanding and comprehension of martial arts, and their exceptional talent, which is something he cannot compare to or surpass!

"Exceptional talent, unmatched by anyone" best reflects the Holy Emperor's immense power!

Zong Wuming was no ordinary person; he also had his own lineage, inheriting the profound legacy of the former leader of the Salvation Society. This legacy not only endowed him with great power but also allowed him to glimpse the vast world ten thousand miles away.

The nameless one knew from the inheritance that the place was the real battleground, a world where the strong gathered and monsters roamed, and also a place where countless opportunities and precious spiritual medicines were hidden.

There, the atmosphere was chaotic, a mixture of various energies, making it difficult to sustain spiritual energy. The monsters there were even more ferocious and terrifying in appearance, with immense power, as if they could tear the heavens and earth apart and devour all living beings.

Fortunately, a mysterious force formed a protective barrier, stopping the monsters in their tracks.

Although these monsters are powerful, they are unable to set foot in this place due to the obstruction of a mysterious force.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Zong Wuming to pursue immortality and to act tyrannically in this land.

Those monsters kill indiscriminately, as if their bloodlust is inexhaustible. They don't care who you are or where you come from; as long as you have life, you are their target.

According to legend, the incredibly powerful energy seems to have been protecting it without any sign of weakening, and powerful individuals have even brought out longevity elixirs from it.

But the chances of survival inside are slim, and Zong Wuming has no desire to go in.

During the long years of hiding from the Holy Emperor, Zong Wuming remained vigilant at all times while secretly preparing to go and investigate.

He and some subordinates attempted to venture into that vast, unknown land to personally experience the power of those terrifying monsters, but they had to stop before reaching the end.

Ahead lay a desolate landscape, like a desert, with endless yellow sand stretching out and obscuring the sky. There was no life, no water, only endless desolation and silence.

It was a vast expanse of yellow sand, with a silvery glow at night, and he almost lost his way.

The spiritual energy was scarce and mixed, as if it had been eroded and ruined by the years of this desolate place.

Even though he tried his best to extract a trace of spiritual energy from it, which was as thin as smoke, the impure and mixed energy was as coarse as sand and could not be integrated into his body.

It made my meridians feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they were being burned by thunder and fire, causing me great pain.

Continuing like this will not only fail to improve one's cultivation level, but may also damage it due to absorbing too many impurities.

Moreover, Zong Wuming not only gained cultivation through sacrifice, but also continuously cultivated his own lineage. Furthermore, the records of his lineage also mention the power of demons.

Through several purification processes, the evil influence of the demons is minimized.

Zong Wuming was also exceptionally talented. After many careful attempts, he combined his talents and finally embarked on the path to becoming a Martial Emperor, making countless beings envious!

It can be said that there is no one like him before or after him. He is nameless but cherishes his life very much, especially since he can live for nearly a thousand years, watching the wind rise and the clouds surge, and the flowers bloom and wither!

A banquet for a thousand people, a banquet for ten thousand people, a banquet for a hundred thousand people, or even a whole city is possible. Longevity is within easy reach, so naturally, no one wants to die.

While the method of sacrifice surpassed that of the Martial Emperor, it naturally had some drawbacks. Therefore, the method was ultimately somewhat opportunistic and its strength was inferior to that of the Holy Emperor and others.

But before pursuing immortality and exploiting the common people, and before having too many other greedy desires, one's life is naturally worry-free, like the ancestor of immortals and Buddhas, immortal for ten thousand years!

The successful breakthrough of the nameless cult has brought boundless hope and longing to many followers. With a promising future ahead, many people whose lifespan is about to end have joined, especially some veteran powerhouses!

A feat that extends lifespan by hundreds of years, reverses aging, and gives you a fresh start!

The path of sacrifice is endless, and the hope is boundless!

Many cultivators nearing the end of their lives saw hope in prolonging their existence and joined the sect in pursuit of immortality. Although there was considerable suppression, they could not resist the temptation of longing for eternal life.

Many elders from various factions, especially those who were dying, joined in, openly or secretly, reaping the lives of ordinary people as if slaughtering pigs, cattle, and sheep.

Just as pigs, cows, and sheep may have a higher status in the hearts of ordinary people, chickens, ducks, and fish are simply ignored!

Unless the power of evil disappears, the temptation at the end of life is difficult to completely eradicate!

As for the Longevity Pill, it is extremely rare. The medicinal materials are hard to find, and the refining process is difficult. There is hardly enough to go around!

Even if it is, it will only extend one's life by ten or twenty years, and in the end, one will just turn into a handful of dust!

Upon hearing about his past, Zong Wuming felt a slight displeasure. However, he wasn't the only one who was beaten back then; Master Tong also received a punch!

He chuckled softly, a hint of cunning and allure in his eyes, and slowly spoke, his voice low and resentful.

"Brother Tong, the Holy Emperor has disappeared, and chaos is gradually spreading throughout the land. I wonder if you have ever thought about how to bring well-being to all the people of this world?"

If you are willing to join my Salvation Society, we will be kings side by side. We can then work together to bring happiness to all people, so that they can live in peace and prosperity, in a corner of the world, free from war and harassment by other sects.

As long as our Salvation Society exists, we can live in peace and prosperity, and all people will be happy. You and I will be pioneering something unprecedented and will surely be praised by the world!

And by then, immortality will no longer be a dream for us!
