C3882 Luck and Misfortune
Nightmare King had broken through to the peak of the quasi-Empyrean realm for over a thousand eras. It could be said that he was an old and qualified quasi-Empyrean powerhouse in the All Heavens and Realms.1
Of course, Nightmare King was also a vivid example.
A Great Dao source had been occupied by someone, but it had never been able to break through to the Empyrean Nihility Immortal realm.
One had to know that in nearly a hundred eras, the only recorded example of Empyrean Nihility Immortal's death in All Heavens and Realms was the Heavenly Venerate of Seven Prisons.
Empyrean Nihility Immortal, such as True Ancestor Qilin, had mostly just gone missing. In fact, he hadn't actually died.
Of course, Empyrean Nihility Immortal, who had occupied a source, had not fallen. Those who came later would definitely be able to open the Heavenly Venerate Door and verify Empyrean Nihility Immortal's identity.
The Heavenly Venerate of Seven Prisons had fallen countless years ago. The source stream of the Sealing Dao had also been floating in the air for countless years, but no one had occupied the source stream of the Sealing Dao.
There had been several peak quasi-Heavenly Venerates who had sealed the path to break through to Empyrean Nihility Immortal's realm, but all of them had fallen under the Heavenly Venerate Three Tribulations without exception.
If one were to say that Empyrean Nihility Immortal, who had occupied the source of the path, was the greatest obstacle for a quasi-Heavenly Venerate to break through to the Heavenly Venerate. Then the Heavenly Venerate Triple Tribulation is the second biggest obstacle for a Prospective Supremacy to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
To a certain extent, the Heavenly Venerate Third Tribulation could be considered the greatest killer for a quasi-Heavenly Venerate powerhouse.
One had to know that when the Great Dao that one cultivated had already been occupied by Empyrean Nihility Immortal, a Prospective Heavenly Venerate powerhouse would basically not choose to knock on the door of the Heavenly Venerate.
Everyone knew that if they knocked on the Heavenly Venerate Door at this time, only death awaited them.
With a quasi-Heavenly Venerate cultivation base, even if it was a peak quasi-Heavenly Venerate cultivation base, fighting Empyrean Nihility Immortal was completely courting death.
Under such circumstances, a quasi-Heavenly Venerate powerhouse naturally wouldn't knock on the Heavenly Venerate Door.
Although these quasi-Heavenly Venerates couldn't break through to Empyrean Nihility Immortal's realm, because they transcended the long river of time, as long as they didn't knock on the door of the Heavenly Venerate and provoked Empyrean Nihility Immortal, they basically wouldn't die.
However, if the Great Path Source Stream wasn't occupied by the Heavenly Venerates, then they might not stop when faced with a situation where they could break through.
The quasi-Heavenly Venerate realm was only half a step away from Empyrean Nihility Immortal's realm. Under such circumstances, there was no quasi-Heavenly Venerate powerhouse who did not wish to break through to the Heavenly Venerate.
As long as there was a chance, most quasi-Heavenly Venerates were willing to try breaking through.
However, the existence of a Heavenly Venerate's Third Tribulation was like a towering mountain, cutting off the possibility of a quasi-Heavenly Venerate powerhouse breaking through.
In the records of All Heavens and Realms, the number of quasi-Heavenly Venerates that fell under the Third Tribulation of Heavenly Venerates was several times greater than the number of quasi-Heavenly Venerates that fell at his hands.
It could be said that the Third Heavenly Venerate Tribulation was the killing blow of a quasi-Heavenly Venerate powerhouse.
Compared to the quasi-Empyrean powerhouses that fell under the Heavenly Venerate Triple Tribulation, Nightmare King was already considered lucky. Although he could not break through to the Heavenly Venerate, at least he did not fall.
There were very few powerhouses in his era.
Therefore, when White Firmiana King and the others faced the Nightmare King, they would maintain a certain level of respect. Even the Buddha of Hundred Kills would do the same.
Nightmare King had proven his Dao in the last thousand eras. This also meant that he had cultivated for over a thousand eras in the quasi-Empyrean realm and had accumulated countless methods.
To Nightmare King, if his cultivation was unable to break through again, he would cultivate all sorts of divine abilities, Secret Arts, or other Great Daos.
After accumulating for over a thousand eras, no one knew just how astonishing the Nightmare King's methods were.
Even the Great Nirvana Buddha had once praised the Nightmare King. Buddha Baisha and the others would not look down on the Nightmare King either. They would pay extra attention to the Nightmare King's opinion.
