The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363: Chapters 1300–1311 Great Flame Emperor Trespassers will be Killed_2 Chapter 1363: Chapters 1300–1311 Great Flame Emperor Trespassers will be Killed_2 This title was not only acknowledged by ordinary Martial Artists, but even by numerous Great Ancient Emperors, who tacitly agreed to it. Although the opponent had not stepped into the Emperor Realm, his combat strength was undeniable.

At this moment, seeing the Lord of Fire appear here, the several Great Ancient Emperors who had arrived together naturally understood his intentions.

“Lord of Fire, what exactly does your heavenly gate want to do?” the Great Flame Emperor asked coldly, looking at the Lord of Fire before him with an unfriendly gaze.

The Great Flame Emperor had ascended to the Emperor Realm by mastering the Mysterious Fire Path and controlled a portion of the Fire Path Laws.

Among the many Great Ancient Emperors, if one were to truly discuss who harbored the deepest animosity towards the upstart Fire Virtue Star Lord, it was not Emperor Tianyang, who had initially clashed with the Fire Virtue Star Lord, but rather the Great Flame Emperor before him.

After all, according to the rules of this world, there could only be one Great Ancient Emperor as the Wielder of each set of Laws. Once a Wielder of Laws ascended to Great Ancient Emperor status, a later practitioner of the same mysterious Supreme King Realm who wished to ascend was challenging the former, and the two could hardly coexist.

Even if different branches of the same set of Laws ascended to become Great Ancient Emperors, there was still a path contest between them, because their goal was the same, to completely control the Laws they cultivated.

One could say, from the moment the Fire Virtue Star Lord appeared in this world, in the eyes of the Great Flame Emperor, the other had already become a significant threat. Especially since the Lord of Fire possessed the combat strength of an Emperor without having stepped into the Emperor Realm, which made the Great Flame Emperor even more wary.

If it were not for the fact that his strength was unfathomable at the time of his appearance, and Pei Xuanjing had taken the Fire Virtue Star Lord away, the Great Flame Emperor would have inevitably acted against the Fire Virtue Star Lord.

Such actions may seem like a case of the mighty bullying the weak, but in this world, they amounted to nothing, as everyone was fighting for survival, and every Great Ancient Emperor had to do the same.

Seeing one's mortal enemy grow to a realm where they could contend with oneself without taking action was simply foolish.

If an opponent showed potential for a threat, they had to be struck down with the force of thunder–this was the true cruelty of this world.

Unfortunately, on that day, the Great Flame Emperor was intimidated by Pei Xuanjing and subsequently apprehensive of the mysteries of the heavenly gate, so he bided his time and did not find the opportunity to strike.

Today, realizing that the heavenly gate was stirring, the Great Flame Emperor immediately reacted, bringing two allies to probe the depths of the heavenly gate. Of course, if there was a chance to eliminate the threat, he would not hesitate.

“Everyone, stop right there!” the Fire Virtue Star Lord could feel the hostility emanating from the Great Flame Emperor.

The moment this Ancient Emperor appeared, he had identified the opponent, as the opponent's undisguised Fire Path Laws were as clear to the Fire Virtue Star Lord as a light in the dark night.

And he was not at all surprised by the enmity from the Great Flame Emperor. After all, he believed that if he were in the opponent's position and faced a threatening enemy, he would instinctively want to eliminate the threat.

But knowing the opponent's hostility did not mean the Fire Virtue Star Lord was afraid. Even if the other was an Emperor, or even accompanied by another Great Ancient Emperor, how did that matter?

As a Sovereign who also ruled an ancient country, the Fire Virtue Star Lord's presence was not in any way inferior. He completely disregarded the Great Flame Emperor's question and merely warned the Emperor to stop where he was.

However, what he considered a caution, the two Great Ancient Emperors present took as a warning or even a threat.

“To call you 'Lord of Fire' and for you to actually think you are someone of importance? Daring to block my path is truly seeking death!” the Ice Emperor rebuked angrily, his face full of rage.

The Ice Emperor was also a powerful figure on par with Emperor Tianyang, clearly having a close relationship with the Great Flame Emperor as they came together.

Ice and fire are incompatible, and in other worlds, these Sovereigns, even if not mortal enemies, would not become friends due to the nature of the skills they cultivated.

But in this world, it's different. Great Ancient Emperors with similar attributes of Laws have the potential to usurp each other's Laws, hence they are always on guard against one another.

Instead, it was the fundamentally conflicting Laws like that of ice and fire that made their cooperation possible. The inherent conflict between their Laws meant they were incapable of fusing or usurping each other's power, thus forming the basis of their alliance.

The Ice Emperor and the Fire Emperor joined forces, supporting each other in this realm, and although they were not among the oldest of the Great Ancient Emperors, their power was still not to be underestimated.

The appearance of the Fire Virtue Star Lord posed a significant threat to the Great Flame Emperor, and since the Great Flame Emperor was an important ally to the Ice Emperor, they naturally shared a common foe.

These two emperors supported each other and jointly suppressed any newcomers, hence they, as Great Ancient Emperors, had dominated the realm for tens of thousands of years and had never been dethroned from the Emperor Realm.

Now faced with such a warning from the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the Ice Emperor was also seething with anger, feeling that the other party was being recklessly arrogant.

Originally, because the other party was able to challenge Emperor Tianyang with the prowess of the Supreme King Realm, he had been worth a second look, but that was just Emperor Tianyang alone.

Today, this Lord of Fire was facing him and the Great Flame Emperor, two Great Ancient Emperors, and yet he was so arrogant. Did he truly believe his new cultivation system endowed him with such bravado?

“Those who cross the line, die!”

The Fire Virtue Star Lord paid no attention to their rage and, with a wave of his hand, drew a line of firelight across the sky that lingered, serving as a warning line.

“Courting death!” the Great Flame Emperor bellowed, “Today I shall slay you, to show the heavenly gate that arrogance comes at a cost!”

Being a life-and-death Great Emperor, it was infuriating for the Great Flame Emperor to see a mere Supreme King being so audacious.

He no longer cared about whatever powerful entities might be backing the heavenly gate. Considering the threat this Lord of Fire posed to him, he would use this as an excuse to slay the opponent on the spot.

“Sky Burning Flame!”

With a furious shout from the Great Flame Emperor, he struck with wrath, his palms sending forth a blaze that filled the sky, altering the celestial phenomena.

“Trivial tricks!” the Fire Virtue Star Lord remarked calmly, sneering at the Great Flame Emperor's attack and clapping his hands dismissively.

The phantom of the Honghu Divine Bird materialized, vast and covering the sky, its wings stretching for thousands of miles. With merely an open beak, it effortlessly swallowed the flames conjured by the Great Flame Emperor, and instead of being harmed, the fires on its body grew even stronger.

One was a long-revered Great Emperor, the other was an up-and-coming Supreme King renowned for his might. Their clash shook the heavens and the earth, causing celestial phenomena to shift and the firmament to tremble.

Their battle, which occurred in an instant, had an unbelievable impact, drawing the attention of innumerable powerful beings.

This was quite unexpected, for even though the activation of the heavenly gate's Guiding Altar had caused the heavens to change, and many Great Ancient Emperors had diverted their focus here, many also believed it would inevitably lead to a great war.

But to have a confrontation so swiftly, with apparently no exchange of formalities, was indeed very surprising.

However, in the next moment, when these Great Ancient Emperors truly realized who the combatants were, their surprise faded, for it was reasonable for these two to engage in combat.

Indeed, many Great Ancient Emperors had anticipated a confrontation between the Great Flame Emperor and the Fire Virtue Star Lord the moment they saw the latter's initial move. The existence of the Fire Virtue Star Lord was already a tremendous threat to the Great Flame Emperor.

Initially, when the heavenly gate appeared, there were even some Great Ancient Emperors who wished to secretly manipulate events, hoping to use the Fire Virtue Star Lord to probe the depths of the heavenly gate on behalf of the Great Flame Emperor, but they never succeeded.
