Chapter 1198: Chapters 1146-1147 – The Confidence of the Demon Race, The Overbearing Sword Emperor_2 Chapter 1198: Chapters 1146-1147 – The Confidence of the Demon Race, The Overbearing Sword Emperor_2 “Farewell, Sect Leader,” Yu Zhenzi said as he took over the control of the Taixu Mirror, then he added respectfully.
However, after speaking, his attention remained focused on the projection, monitoring everything within the Bloody Trial.
Everything between the True Immortals was too distant for Yu Zhenzi, destined as he was to be unable to take part in it and aware that even if he knew, it would be of no significance to him.
He only needed to be clear about one thing, and that was that the current Sect Leader, Pei Xuanjing, was already the most pinnacle of strong existences between heaven and earth, the wielder of the Gods Sealing List in hand, with no one capable of being his opponent, and no one able to contend with him.
Even if Yu Zhenzi didn't know the strengths and weaknesses between True Immortals, he was still aware that if Pei Xuanjing, who wielded the Gods Sealing List, could still be suppressed, then no human could be a match for the Demon Race, and there would be no point in continuing the Enthroning Gods, as humans simply couldn't win.
This wasn't just Yu Zhenzi's thought; it was a perspective shared broadly among the many powerful members of the human race.
They had absolute faith in Pei Xuanjing, nearly regarding Shenxiao True Monarch as the strongest being between heaven and earth, the number one Strong.
The view that Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing was the premier Strong existence between heaven and earth was recognized by humans, but it wasn't accepted by the Demon Race.
At least for now, after the refining of the Demon Summoning Banner, the Demon Emperor holding the Demon Summoning Banner had a strong confidence that his power was certainly no less than Pei Xuanjing's.
It was precisely because of this confidence that the Demon Emperor dared to issue a challenge, daring to send a probe towards the human True Immortals.
Within the Chaos Void, the True Immortals of the entire Great Ming World confronted each other here.
Fourteen True Immortals from the human race, implicitly led by Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing, after all, whether in terms of strength or as a proponent of the Godsealing Plan, Pei Xuanjing now deservedly served as the head of the human race.
In the face of such a situation, even the Profound Heaven True Monarch of the Xuantian Sect had acknowledged this fact, never once conceiving the idea to challenge Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing at this juncture.
Of course, as an inheritance that spanned tens of thousands of years, having once held the leadership of the human Righteous Path, the Xuantian Sect was not going to easily concede, nor willingly accept a submissive position.
Everything was for the greater good, for the future of the human race, and it was also for the longevity of the many cultivators of the Xuantian Sect, to ensure that more True Immortals would ascend in the future.
Under such tempting benefits, they made a temporary compromise, but it didn't mean they were completely conceding.
Not just the Xuantian Sect, but also the Sword Sect, the Buddhism School, the Demonic Way, and all immortal sects with True Immortals, were not going to readily let Pei Xuanjing master everything. It was just because of the present strength of the opposition, and with the threat from the Demon Race outside, they temporarily maintained the overall situation.
The overall interest, for the human race now, was to destroy the Demon Race, enact the Enfeoffment, establish the Heavenly Court, and Shenxiao True Monarch was an indispensable part of this plan. He himself was a part of the overall picture, so unless the other parties were willing to give up the benefits within easy reach for a moment's temper, they must recognize Shenxiao True Monarch as their leader.
However, this was only temporary. Awaiting the end of the War of Sealing Gods, after the fall of the Demon Race, would come the era that belonged to the human race. That was when the real beginning of all parties and immortal sect True Immortals would manifest their techniques, competing for supreme positions.
Pei Xuanjing was well aware of all this, yet he did not make any statement, nor did he even pay any attention to the various True Immortals' covert preparations and plots for the future, allowing them to proceed.
My heart is the Heaven's heart, my will is the Heaven's will.
Having reached this stage in his cultivation, Pei Xuanjing's mindset and vision were no longer confined by a mere world. The schemes of these people had no meaning for him whatsoever.
He didn't care what his opponents plotted, nor did he mind how much strength they might gain.
Because no matter what his opponents plotted, no matter how much they improved, they could never surpass him.
This was his confidence, having three times attained the True Immortal Realm, he could be called a Profound Immortal. Even if the people before him joined hands, Pei Xuanjing was confident enough to suppress them.
Profound Immortal, though like True Immortal is a term used to honor immortals, had already advanced further on the Immortal Path, undergoing another transformation, reaching a realm these True Immortals could not even imagine.
Of course, Pei Xuanjing would not fully reveal his hand at this moment; instead, he would give these people some hope, allowing them to mobilize actively. This way, even if the Heavenly Court was established in the future, these True Immortals would not rest on their laurels but would be more proactive.
Actually, Pei Xuanjing was somewhat presumptuous in his speculation. He guessed that after the Heavenly Court was established, some strong beings would truly rest on their success, waiting for various gods to explore heaven and earth while they reaped the benefits.
In fact, this would not be the case at all.
The True Immortal strong before him, each of them a leading figure of their time, how firm their Taoist hearts and indomitable their willpower.
Although they had attained the True Immortal Realm and had acquired longevity, they would not truly be satisfied with stagnation; instead, they would explore even more actively.
Pei Xuanjing, in fact, had not noticed that his presence not only caused many cultivators to become competitively engaged, but it also accelerated the competitive engagement among these True Immortals.
Previously, these strong beings, after achieving the True Immortal Realm and possessing long lives, would cultivate at the same level, some fast and some slow, but most of the time, the differences were not significant and were not irreparable.
However, the arrival of Pei Xuanjing completely disrupted the tacit balance that had existed among the many True Immortals. His rapid progress in cultivation thoroughly shook the defenses of these True Immortals and kindled a spirit of competition.
Especially with the onset of the War of Sealing Gods, Pei Xuanjing's monopolizing of both the Peacock King and the Sky-reach Demon King, and his startling achievements afterward, truly terrified the Demon Race and alarmed the human True Immortals.
They understood one thing, that even though they had broken through to the True Immortal Realm and attained the lifespan of longevity, it did not mean they were immortal beings. There were still those mighty enough to threaten their lives.
Such circumstances were perhaps even more dire than before the ascent of heaven and earth.
Bear in mind that before the ascent of heaven and earth, although they had not yet stepped onto the Immortal Path to obtain longevity, as Supreme Overlords at the limits of strength, nobody could threaten their lives, not even fellow Supreme Overlords.
The scenario had changed. Now, within the same generation of True Immortals, there emerged a being capable of suppressing True Immortals. This unquestionably caused any slight slackness in the minds of the other True Immortals to be completely discarded, each one thoroughly embroiled in the internal strife.
After all, now possessing immortal lives, none of them would wish to be suppressed by someone else one day. It was an utterly humiliating and unjust prospect.
Therefore, during the time Pei Xuanjing was in seclusion for simulated training, these True Immortals did not cease their efforts either, each extrapolating their own Immortal Path divine powers and skills, improving their realms in pursuit of greater combat prowess.
Sixty years passed, and more than twenty human True Immortals and Demon Race Monster Gods confronted each other within the Chaos Void, with their strengths having undergone unimaginable transformations.
“Old Lion, are you ready to commence the decisive battle now?” The Sword Qi around the Sword Emperor surged, easily tearing through the Chaos Void, the Sword Qi enduring, hardly erodable even amidst chaos.
He was the ruler of the Sword Path, the Sword Emperor, a master of all, commanding all swords, unified with the Sword Path.
Facing the Demon Emperor before him, the Sword Qi in the Sword Emperor's eyes was chilling, as if at any moment a sword light would burst forth, desiring to annihilate the Demon Emperor.
“A decisive battle? So what, do you think my Demon Race fears you?” The Lion Emperor did not speak, it was the Tiger God who responded.
The Tiger God did not take on a human form but walked in the void in its original form. As it spoke, the Chaos Qi of the Chaos Void retreated around it. Even though it was not a sovereign of the Demon Race, the aura of the King of Beasts remained domineering.
The Chaos Qi of the Chaos Void washed over the Tiger God's body, yet it did not inflict any harm, not even causing a scratch to its fur, highlighting the terrifying nature of the Tiger God's physique.
