Chapter 972 The Entropy Realm (1)
At the Pillar of Chaos, the tallest mountain in the Entropy Realm.
Thousands of the elite Chaos Immortals were having a heated meeting there and they were not there to admire the scenery of their most sacred mountain.
In fact, they had been here for the past 3 months and all negiotations had now failed.
3 months to these immortals were only a short period of time actually.
This meeting was hosted by the 12 main Chaos Clans to select the new Chaos Emperor Sovereign.
Among the 12 main Chaos Clan, they were represented by 8 peaked 9th realm immortals and 4 half-step True Divinities.
Although there was the 12 main Chaos Clans to elect the new Chaos Emperor Sovereign but the choices were actually limited to the 4 main Chaos Clans with the half-step True Divinities.
It was because the disparity between a peaked 9th realm immortal and a half-step 10th realm immortal was too vast.
It takes too long a time to cultivate to an upper 9th realm immortal and only the most talented and blessed immortal under the heavens could do so.
And it is even harder to cultivate to be a peaked 9th realm immortal and those that did are the most powerful immortals in the Entropy Realm with the strongest bloodline.
That was when even the most powerful immortals would meet a dead end in their cultivation and they needed plenty of luck, cultivation methods and huge resources in order to cross the near impossible boundary to become a half-step 10th realm immortal.
One may think that a half-step 10th realm immortal is close to a mortal-step 10th realm immortal and would soon be a True Divinity at the initial lower level.
Not so!
They are actually no closer to becoming a True Divinity.
It is actually 10 times harder for the half-step True Divinities to become a True Divinity!
And most the most powerful of the half-step True Divinities lack the destiny of the heavens to break their cocoon to transform into True Divinities.
This is especially true when time had passed as more and more of the emperor profound treasures and true divinity profound treasures are either taken or consumed for cultivation.
Even in the Immortal Entropy Realm, an immortal emperor or true divinity profound artefact would only descend once every 10 000 years from the Great Beyond. Although this may not sound like a long time but it is actually 100 000 years in the lower realm due to the differences in time.
To the immortals of the Entropy Realm, a big fight will usually occur every time an immortal emperor or a true divinity profound artefact would descend in the Entropy Realm.
An immortal emperor profound artefact is actually quite common place among the elite immortals but most of it are actually not the superior class or the naturally descended emperor profound artefact. Rather, most are actually nurtured over tens of thousands with powerful immortal arrays to become an emperor profound artefact, at a terrible and unimaginable cost of course.
As for true divinity profound artefact or deity class profound artefact, it cannot be nurtured or obtained.
That is the reason why many of the elite immortals have only one goal when they could reach the True Divinity realm and that is to go to the Great Beyond to find their fortuitous encounters. Maybe with some luck, they could even find a Beyond Divinity profound artefact.
It is said that the Great Beyond Goddess allows the True Divinities from the other 5 immortal realms to come to the Great Beyond once every 10 000 years to take the True Divinity Trial there.
To be exact, it is actually from the other 4 immortal realms since there is a curse that is upon the Immortal Great Abyssal Realm that seems to prevent them from ever attaining the half-step 10th immortal positioning.
In fact, it is the Great Beyond Goddess that has forbidden the birth of any immortal profound artefacts from the Great Beyond to the Great Abyssal Realm and she is the one that has cursed the Great Abyssal Realm.
The Chaos Race was naturally happy about it since the Abyssals had in the past invaded the Entropy Realm.
In the past, the Abyssals had plenty of powerful peaked 9th realms, half-step True Divinities and even True Divinities.
But the invasion had suddenly ended when all the half-step True Divinities and True Divinities were all mysteriously killed.
And even their First Chaos Empress Sovereign Destiny was also killed, along with an uncountable number of the most powerful Chaos Race.
To this day, a great enmity existed between the Chaos Race and the Abyssals, with the two sides often waging small scale invasions against each other.
Although the Chaos Race may appear to be in a superior position but their losses are actually quite severe. It is because most of the Chaos Race are humanoid god beasts and they need thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years to reproduce. The stronger their god beast blood line is, the longer that they need to reproduce.
Also, unlike the other immortal realms which can depend on the ascended immortals to increase their population, the Chaos Race have no such luxury.
Although the various god beasts from the lower heavenly realms could still ascend to the immortal realm, it is almost never the Entropy Realm because God Beasts that could cultivate to humanoid form are too rare.
Also, while god beasts are intelligent and sometimes even powerful rulers such as in the Desolate Immortal Realm but they are not the same as the humanoid god beasts of the Chaos Race who preferred to remain in their humanoid forms most of the time. Most of the god beasts from the other immortal realms cannot take the humanoid forms at all.
But of course, the most important reason of all is that the Chaos Race only have one type of god beast form and it is the dragon form.
Back to the heated meeting, angry shouts could be heard thundering across the mountain terraces where thousands of the Chaos Race were sitting.
A handsome man had suddenly stood up and thundered, "As who shall be the new Chaos Emperor Sovereign, we only need to know the orientation of the 12 major chaos clans. It is this simple. But I would say that we need a strong Chaos Emperor Sovereign to combat the threats of the Abyssals and even the other immortal realms. Therefore, we only have 4 candidates to choose from."
When this handsome man had spoken, the noise had quickly died down.
It was because he was the Profound Heaven Sovereign, 1 of the 4 half-step True Divinity in this place. Therefore, what he had just said naturally carried a lot of weight.
His sharp eyes had naturally turned to look at the Sacred Fire Sovereign, the Thunderbolt Sovereign and the Seven Purple Sovereign.
The Sacred Fire Sovereign was a beard man with a fierce look and he was grinning, "I totally agree with the Profound Heaven Sovereign on this."
"It seems that a fight today is inevitable between the 4 half-step True Divinities if we can\'t resolve it peacefully today." The Thunderbolt Sovereign smirked coldly.
"Indeed, indeed." The Seven Purple Sovereign smiled enchantingly; she was the only maiden among the 4 half-step True Divinities.
The Antimony Sovereign, who was a middle age man hummed coldly, "We are supposed to be the 12 major chaos clans. When did it become just the 4 major chaos clan?"
The other 7 Sovereigns were also muttering in agreement with him!
The Profound Heaven Sovereign hummed coldly, "If it isn\'t for the fact that the First Chaos Empress Sovereign had come from your Antimony Clan, I would have lifted my hand against you. For those that are weak, have no right. It seems that you are unhappy with me being the Chaos Emperor Sovereign?"
The Antimony Sovereign laughed coldly, "I am afraid that you are not as worthy as the 3 other Sovereigns!"
"Outrageous!" The Profound Heaven Sovereign roared angrily. "Are you challenging me?"
The Antimony Sovereign refused to be cowered by him. No matter what, he was still a peaked 9th immortal and he had his pride.
"If I can defeat you, then I can be Chaos Emperor Sovereign?"
The Profound Heaven Sovereign smirked coldly, "If you can defeat me, naturally you can be a candidate for the new Chaos Emperor Sovereign and I will not contest anymore. That is, if you are able to defeat me."
The other 7 Sovereigns were all saying to the Antimony Sovereign, "We will support your candidacy as the new Chaos Emperor Sovereign if you are able to defeat the Profound Heaven Sovereign."
The Antimony Sovereign actually saw little chance of defeating the Profound Heaven Sovereign and he had immediately regretted his recklessness.
"You have the guts to talk loudly but no guts to face me with your bold words?" The Profound Heaven Sovereign mocked coldly.
This broke the last straw for the Antimony Sovereign as he floated above the platform, "Who says I dare not fight you?"
The Profound Heaven Sovereign laughed coldly as he levitated to the height of the Antimony to meet his challenge. "You are courageous indeed."
He was determined to teach this Antimony Sovereign a lesson that he would not forget.
All the Sovereigns and the thousands of immortals cheered thunderously for they were about to witness a fight between a peaked 9th realm immortal and a half-step 10th realm True Divinity.
The ones that cheered the loudest were naturally from the Profound Heaven Clan and they were cheering for the victory of their Profound Heaven Sovereign.
The Antimony Sovereign had an ugly look because he knows that it would be ugly to him if he loses.
The Profound Heaven Sovereign smiled coldly, "I can give you the first move…."
As he had said that, there was a sudden disturbance in the space between them and a dark cloak maiden had suddenly appeared in their midst.
Her appearance startled everyone, including the Profound Heaven Sovereign and the Antimony Sovereign.
The most startled was naturally this dark cloak maiden herself and she was naturally Destiny who had disguised herself; she had thought of secretly retrieving her profound treasures that she had sealed away in the past here in the most sacred mountain of the Chaos Race.
But she had never thought that there would be thousands of immortals in this place!
Didn\'t she say in the past that this sacred mountain is off limit except for herself?
She muttered softly, "Mm, this is a little awkward…"
The Profound Heaven Sovereign was angry that his fight would be disturbed so he angrily raised his fists to oust this intruder.
As he raised his fists to attack the dark cloaked maiden, the dark cloaked maiden had displayed her half-step True Divinity profound aura and had sent the Profound Heaven Sovereign to crash down mightily down to the platform below!
This shocked all the immortals and Sovereigns…
The most stunned was the Antimony Sovereign and he did not know whether he should attack this intruder or not. But it made him secretly happy that the Profound Heaven Sovereign was humiliated in this manner.
