Chapter 757 - 237: Infant Emperors
Phoenix Yi didn't pay attention to the Cursed Dharma Aspect being blasted apart but instead looked coldly at this guy, showing a hint of surprise:
"You seven Emperors of Longevity, are you still not weaned yet?"
"Every member of the Longevity Royal Family is a little jade-carved baby. Babies running a dynasty, now that's quite amusing."
"If this were spread around the world, wouldn't everyone be amazed?"
This remark instantly turned the expressions of the past Emperors of Longevity icy, as if their taboo had been touched, "The Phoenix Race? Are you seeking your own death."
With each generation, their unwillingness to leave the womb grows stronger, leading to the subsequent Emperors of Longevity remaining in infant form.
Unable to grow, even unable to reproduce or engage in the acts of men and women.
This is the flaw of their Longevity Royal Family.
Therefore, on the surface, they control the majestic and imposing Dharma Aspect Emperors to govern politics, their true forms never seen by outsiders.
This also results in them not appearing with their real bodies, with their Dharma Aspect combat power being weak, making expansion difficult. Thus, in the era of the Longevity Dynasty, there were rarely any frictions with the Four Great Sea Races.
Every Emperor of Longevity throughout the ages was actually born from the same mother.
It was publicly claimed to be a father-son succession, while in reality, it was between brothers!
Their highly controlling mother, after being defeated by the first Emperor of Longevity—their elder brother—was imprisoned.
They became the ones with strong control desires, subduing their mother.
Then, using the method of tattooing infants, they bred new brothers and sisters, expanding their family.
Until the mother was completely exhausted, sitting in nirvana and aging to death, turning to embers.
The downfall of the Longevity Dynasty also originated from the mother's death.
These brothers aged and died, and with no successors, they were overthrown by the Emperor of the Xin Dynasty of the next era.
Moreover, the mother bore a dozen brothers, each having taken turns as the Emperor of Longevity, but only these seven before them turned to embers.
Even in death, they remained rooted in the Mother of Non-Life, becoming infants.
After all, for them, their mother's womb is their best coffin.
The Food God was dumbfounded, looking at the seven finely-crafted infants connected by umbilical cords inside the mother's belly, paralyzed with shock:
"Damn! Damn! This Longevity Royal Family... is far more outrageous than the Firewood Royal Family!"
The Food God originally thought the Firewood Royal Family was just not normal.
The Xin Dynasty Royal Family, each erudite and fond of burning knowledge, each a genius, also fond of internal strife, stealing the knowledge of other Firewood geniuses.
But compared to the Longevity Royal Family, the Xin Dynasty Royal Family is mere child's play.
In the literal sense, child's play.
"Oh Phoenix? I hope you can stay this arrogant afterward."
Among the infants, one, the original Emperor of Longevity, wore an infant dragon robe and an infant crown, with a round, chubby face, looking very cute and silly,
"Do you truly think that just because we haven't fully awakened, you can bully us?"
Phoenix Yi showed a slight smile, "You all are obviously half-awakened, able to recognize your own death."
"It seems now that perhaps, over the enduring years, certain ancient imperial mausoleums have also brought some emperors into half-awakening."
The power of this infant emperor was evident.
Indeed, this was a tree formed by the convergence of countless Spirit Roots... an infant tree.
The Mother of Non-Life was a stump.
Each umbilical cord attached to an infant was a branch.
And the infants were the infant flowers on the tree.
The seven infants emerging from the mother resemble seven flowers.
Or say, a Ginseng Fruit tree, each branch bearing finely-carved infant fruits.
Every infant was the epitome of countless children, with Spiritual Roots highly mutated into Celestial Spirit Roots, far surpassing those of the Same Tier!
Each was a king of their era, capable of overwhelming a supreme Saint of the Human Race in the Self-Transformation Realm!
If the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor was an aggregate of the Magic Series, casting spells with nine differently attributed heads, specializing in long-range.
Then these seven conjoined infant emperors were aggregates of physical prowess, pure melee combat.
Seemingly perceiving Phoenix Yi's scrutiny, the original Emperor of Longevity chuckled lightly as an infant, "You're not comparing me with the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, are you?"
"How could he possibly compare to us?"
At this moment, the infant emperor displayed a cold smile, "Do you know? Back in the day, when our mother bore only me, she could already overthrow the entire world."
"Because a single person can at most achieve the Five-Body Cycle, but with me connected by the umbilical cord, we have the Ten-Body Cycle! Ten-Body Martial Saints!"
"Do you understand the terror of this?"
This infant emperor radiated an awe-inspiring presence, yet somehow didn't exude intimidation, but rather an amusing contradicting impression of a child impersonating an adult,
"The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor merely has more heads, each additional head equivalent to an extra body, topping at thirteen-body cycle at most."
"Mother just having me as an infant already constituted a ten-body cycle, with immense physical prowess."
"Moreover, the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, having four additional heads adept in spell-casting, isn't even specialized in close combat."
"Back then, with just the mother and I, we were ten bodies. With our current multiple births, guess how many body Martial Gods we are now?"
The infant emperor exhibited a hint of arrogance:
"Let me show you the power of our lineage of conjoined emperors."
With that, he grasped with his hand.
Boom!
A mighty protective shield suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.
They were originally well-hidden within the mother, reluctant to be exposed, had someone not discovered them, they would not wish to appear.
Now they especially didn't want to be spotted by that ancient bronze statue outside.
On Phoenix Yi's side, the motivation to act this time wasn't meant to be seen by the outside world either.
After all, she planned to join forces with Calamity and the others to eliminate the ancient tomb occupant, and monopolize the rewards of this ancient imperial mausoleum.
With a swish.
"I'm back!" Calamity had already returned.
Calamity's Dharma Aspect seemed so unusual, it regrouped from the nursery's back, hurriedly arriving from its true form, already here: "Kid, you ambushed me, not bad."
"Better call Xin Xichen over, this guy is a bit troublesome."
Phoenix Yi coldly remarked, "They seem to have acquired external Immortal Path Dharma Methods, also using some special ability to complete their Spiritual Roots, each infant is at the level of Immortal Spirit Root."
"Just a few dead people, half-awake, still prone to madness." Calamity sneered, "But indeed, we should summon Xin Xichen, find out the conditions for their frenzy. Once frenzied, losing reason means a drastic drop in combat power, nothing to fear."
"Besides, we had their birth mother as an inside agent."
Phoenix Yi looked toward the incredibly anguished Li Rouhua, obviously displaying extreme resentment towards this group of traitorous children.
Li Rouhua herself was actually a pseudo-human, but pledged allegiance to the Human Ancestor, willing to be an internal traitor for the pseudo-humans, clearly aiming to wipe out her own unfilial offspring!
With a swish, Xin Xichen seemed to have received the message and quietly slipped through the Emperor's Tomb gate, arriving here:
"We're just Dharma Aspects, not our true forms, only having forty percent of our usual combat power... but it's fortunate the other side is made of embers, prone to madness, four ounces to move a thousand pounds is enough."
Xin Xichen's Dharma Aspect also brought with it Dao Yueniang's Dharma Aspect.
With a swish.
The whole battlefield was swiftly isolated.
Boom boom boom!
They rapidly began to engage.
The outside world won't witness any of their combat process.
Neither the Emperors of Longevity nor Xin Xichen and others wanted the ancient bronze statue Demon God faction to come meddling.
Additionally, being isolated, their trump cards and divine techniques would remain unseen by outsiders.
Even Bai Xingling, the No-Life Whale, and the Food God were shut out.
"Do we have to wait here for the result?" Bai Xingling wore a worried expression, "I came to seek the Longevity heritage, and now it's a battle, being bunked by these unscrupulous big shots, intervening when I was about to acknowledge kin and receive the heritage from Longevity Ancestors."
"My Mother of Non-Life is the same, no chance to engage and acknowledge kin." The No-Life Whale was dissatisfied too.
Calamity and the two big shots gave Bai Xingling and others a headache.
Ning Zheng munched on snacks in the shadows, feeling bemused as well.
Why won't you show me your combat?
Defending against villains is fine, but why even ward off a gentleman like me?
He cursed under his breath for their lack of virtue.
If it weren't for having the Food God as an insider, stumbling upon these old scoundrels looting the tomb, he'd still be clueless.
After all, they started fighting, and with the protective shield isolating, all was in silence.
But the Food God's role could only inform him of their sneaky attack on the tomb's owner, to watch their battle would require other means.
