The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Only an Immortal Can Defeat an Immortal!

”Yes!”

Jorge Gross replied, ”In ancient times, the cultivation system was not as distinct as it is now. Great witches were the supreme beings. In the ancient world, they were transcendent powerhouses capable of communicating with deities.”

”During the ancient era, the most revered person in each tribe was the Great Witch. Tribes with a Great Witch and those without differed drastically in strength and status.”

”As the Human Emperor, you must know about the Emperor Seal and the emergence of the first generation of the Emperor Clan, right?”

Carson Flores nodded: ”I know some, but not very clearly.”

Jorge Gross explained, ”Where the Emperor Seal came from is unknown, but it chose its first master, which led to the rise of the first generation of the Emperor Clan. The Emperor Clan created three volumes of the Emperor Sovereign Scripture, leading the world in cultivation.”

”The Human Scroll laid the foundation for cultivation, the Earth Scroll guided cultivators to enhance their strength, and the Heaven Scroll led to Ascension. It was the appearance of the Emperor Sovereign Scripture that allowed the Human Race to have a true systematic path to cultivation. Only after this did the clear division of Realms such as Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Hollow Void, and Tribulation Crossing come to be.”

”Witches existed in times long before the Emperor Seal appeared, so comparing them with our current cultivation system in terms of strength is completely incorrect.”

Carson Flores suddenly understood. During his battle with the Demon Ancestor, the latter had cursed the Emperor Seal. From her curses, Carson learned that she had existed in the world when the Emperor Seal appeared, which marked the rise of the first generation of the Emperor Clan. They opposed her, leading to her defeat and eventually sealing herself within the Black Stone Coffin.

”Witches, being the powerhouses within tribes, there must have been more than one, right?”

”Of course, there was more than one. There were many witches in ancient times, each with varying levels of ability. But as for anyone surviving to this day, that would be nearly impossible unless there was some special reason.”

”The witch of the Demon Ancestor, although I don’t know exactly who she is, belonged to an extremely distant era, powerful and revered. Perhaps because she is possibly the only surviving witch of the Demon Race, she is honored as the Demon Ancestor. In terms of time, her title as Ancestor is more than justified.”

Carson Flores asked curiously, ”You say they could communicate with deities. What are these deities, and where do they exist?”

Jorge Gross hesitated before replying, ”I’m not sure, but I have a guess. In ancient times, the deities they spoke of may have been Immortals from the Immortal Realm. Their fearsome strength may have come from these Immortals.”

”This so-called communication with deities probably involved forming some sort of contract with Immortals. Through Primordial Spirit Projection, these Immortals granted some of their own power to the Great Witches, which is why they could summon wind and rain, move mountains and overturn seas...”

Channeling the gods?

Inviting deities into oneself?

An idea unconsciously flashed through Carson Flores’s mind: borrowing the power of Immortals?

Not being Immortals themselves yet wielding their power—who could withstand that!

Jorge Gross sighed, ”The strength of these ancient Great Witches was not always unparalleled, but those who were truly formidable were incredibly terrifying, beyond what someone of Hollow Void Realm strength could withstand. With the resurrection of the Demon Ancestor, disaster is about to befall humanity.”

Pausing, Jorge Gross looked inexplicably at Carson Flores, ”Perhaps, this is the opportunity for the Emperor Seal to acknowledge you as the new Human Emperor. Now someone needs to stand up against the Demon Ancestor...”

”I’ve already smashed her body to pieces.”

The casual response from Carson Flores made both Jorge Gross and Kellan Gentry’s eyes bulge, looking at him incredulously.

”What did you say?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”I shattered her bodily form, but I failed to suppress her Primordial Spirit in time. It escaped, and now I’ve heard it has appeared in the Demon Emperor’s Palace, possessing a man...”

Kellan Gentry said in surprise, ”You were only at Nascent Soul Strength at the time, right?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Correct.”

Kellan Gentry couldn’t help asking, ”You said the Emperor Seal couldn’t restrain her, how did you manage it?”

Only an Immortal can defeat another Immortal!

Carson mused to himself. The Demon Ancestor, as a Great Witch of ancient times with part of an Immortal’s strength, was ultimately defeated by the aid of Cristopher Hopkins Immortal.

”Someone else took action. I was just a bystander. With my little strength, she could probably kill me with just a flick of her finger...”

Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

If Carson Flores could defeat the Demon Ancestor, an ancient Great Witch, at the Nascent Soul Stage, then he wouldn’t just be a freak; he would be a monster.

Not wanting them to pry further, Carson Flores changed the subject, ”So, any news?”

Kellan Gentry chuckled, ”We’ve found Bentley Frost. The kid’s been hiding for half a year, probably thought no one could find him and let down his guard.”

Carson Flores’s spirits lifted, ”Where is he?”

”He and his followers are hiding in a place called Flame Glacier. The place is a range of mountains capped with ceaseless flames, yet beneath them lies an eternal glacier that never melts...”
