153: Chapter 153 The Truth Behind the Destruction of the Upper Realm

After exchanging names with the Four Great Fierce Beasts, Lu Hu went straight to the point and asked about the doubts in his heart.

"I come from the Lower Realm, and I have heard the news of the Upper Realm being destroyed by the Demon Immortal Clan."

"I'm just a bit puzzled. In the past, the Upper Realm was prosperous, with countless Eternal Dao Ancestors and supreme experts. Even if they lost to the Demon Immortal Clan, it shouldn't have come down to just the four of you, right?"

"There really are only the four of us left."

Taowu let out a cold sneer. "As for those trash you mentioned, they aren't dead, but they might as well be. You can treat them as if they don't exist."

"Please explain the reason," Lu Hu said.

"Those trash, half of them died before the fight even started," Taowu said irritably. "Not long after the fighting began, they lost their minds and sought their own deaths. Now, the Immortal Realm is left with only us four notorious World-Destroying Beasts."

Such great resentment. Why couldn't he be a bit more detailed? He hated it most when people spoke in riddles, leaving him to guess.

"Let me explain. It was mainly because the Immortal Realm was too complacent back then and lost its sense of vigilance," Qiongqi sighed. "Meanwhile, the Demon Immortal Clan had been plotting for ages with celestial-shaking ambition. Their sudden attack caught the Immortal Realm off guard, leading to the current situation..."

Lu Hu listened intently to Qiongqi's explanation, and his doubts gradually cleared.

The great war back then started too suddenly, without any warning or word leaking out. The Demon Immortal Clan, which had been dormant for endless ages, suddenly struck, laying down an inescapable net and launching ambushes against all the Eternal Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Realm.

The immortals of the Immortal Realm had been living too comfortably and lacked any sense of precaution. Facing the Demon Immortal Clan's surprise attack,

half of those at the Eternal Dao Ancestor level didn't even have a chance to resist before being beaten within an inch of their lives.

Great experts of the Eternal Realm merge their bodies with the Source Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making them immortal and indestructible beings who transcend reincarnation. As long as the Source Great Dao exists, they can be reborn infinitely and remain Eternal.

However, the Demon Immortal Clan had planned for this war for who knows how long, and they had researched methods to counter almost every Eternal Dao Ancestor.

There was also a Demonic Cauldron that suppressed the True Spirits of the Eternal Dao Ancestors after their fall, preventing them from being reborn.

In that battle, the Immortal Realm was utterly defeated. In truth, it wasn't that they lacked the power to resist; even if the defeat was certain, had they fought to the death, the Demon Immortal Clan would have had to pay a heavy price.

However, the Heavenly Emperor deduced that the Demon Immortal Clan's purpose in occupying the Immortal Realm was the Three Thousand Worlds connected to it.

They coveted the world passages connecting the Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Worlds.

In the vast heavens, the distance between worlds is infinite. The Immortal Realm serves as the Ascension Passage for the Three Thousand Worlds.

Controlling the Immortal Realm also meant indirectly controlling the paths to the Three Thousand Worlds.

The Demon Immortal Clan wanted to use the Immortal Realm's passages to treat the living beings of the Three Thousand Worlds as blood food.

"Therefore, the Eternal Dao Ancestors back then gave up on the slaughter and made destroying the passages their primary objective."

Hearing this, Lu Hu could roughly guess what happened next.

To prevent the Demon Immortal Clan from massacring the Three Thousand Worlds, the Eternal Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Realm had no choice but to destroy the Ascension Passages.

It was also at that time, during the era of the Desolate Ancient Continent and Kun Young Ancestor, that the path to ascension was lost.

"At the end of the war, all the Eternal Dao Ancestors fell, their True Spirits were sealed, the Immortal Realm was conquered, and the Demon Immortals became the rulers."

Qiongqi nodded. This was the history of the Immortal Realm's destruction.

As for why the four of them, the ominous beasts, were still alive, it was purely a mistake on the part of the Demon Immortal Clan.

The Four Great Fierce Beasts did not respect the Heavenly Dao or follow any laws, roaming the heavens at will and causing slaughter and chaos.

Because they were also merged with the Immortal Realm's source and were thus immortal, the Eternal Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Realm had no choice but to join forces to seal them away.

The Demon Immortal Clan had plotted for ages, calculating against every Eternal Dao Ancestor and blocking all paths of retreat.

But they still made an oversight and forgot about these four brothers.

As the Demon Immortal Clan purged the Immortal Realm, the remaining low-level Immortal Cultivators had no choice but to undo the seals and release them,

seeking protection from the ominous beasts who took pleasure in destroying worlds.

It was absurd to even think about, but it was the only choice.

Only the Four Great Fierce Beasts could contend with Eternal-level combat power.

And so, the Four Great Fierce Beasts emerged from their seals.

They had originally intended to wreak havoc and disrupt heaven and earth to vent the frustration of being locked in a dark room.

Instead, as soon as they came out, a group of Immortal Beings were crying and shouting for protection, which completely dazed them.

After learning the whole story, the beasts were also dumbfounded.

Should they still cause destruction or not?

If they didn't, it wouldn't fit their status as ominous beasts.

If they did, their home would be gone.

In the end, they brought the remaining Immortal Beings of the Immortal Realm here.

It could be considered preserving the last spark of the Immortal Realm.

"The world curses us as calamities, but in the end, it was the four of us scourges who carried the last spark of the Immortal Realm. We're much better than those trash ancestors."

Qiongqi lamented, then looked at the pensive Lu Hu.

"I originally thought we could only cause some trouble for the Demon Immortal Clan in the future, but after seeing you, I feel that shaking their foundation is no longer a problem."

"Brother, let's take down the Demon Immortal Clan together!"
