Chapter 1373: 1320-1321 Blood Descends Not to be Underestimated_2 Chapter 1373: 1320-1321 Blood Descends Not to be Underestimated_2 As the Blood Fiend Ancestor and others like him descended upon this world, they retained their complete Realm strength, but in actuality, they were still subject to the world's invisible suppression. Before they had adapted to this foreign environment, the true combat power they could exert was indeed somewhat lower.
Of course, this was true for ordinary Star Lords, but for those Supreme Overlords who had not yet stepped into the Immortal Path, they would need some time to adapt to the environment of this world before they could recover their combat power.
For a True Immortal Strong like the Blood Fiend Ancestor, these effects were negligible. Even if they could not exert their maximum combat strength, they still stood at the pinnacle of this world.
Therefore, after descending into this world, the Blood Fiend Ancestor released his spiritual consciousness and sensed the situation around Myriad Laws Mountain–as was the instinct of a strong being upon entering an unfamiliar environment.
When he saw the scene of Fire Virtue Star Lord exchanging blows with two True Immortals, he felt neither surprise nor disbelief, even though Fire Virtue Star Lord was currently merely at the limit of a Supreme Strong being.
It was a well-established rule that Cultivators below the Immortal Path could not defeat True Immortals, but this rule had already been broken by Emperor Wenchang, and while the news had not spread widely, the Blood Fiend Ancestor, as one of the peak strong beings of the Divine Land World, was certainly not unfamiliar with it.
Especially since Fire Virtue Star Lord was not just any ordinary Supreme Overlord–he was essentially an existence at the True Immortal level, and together with his Honghu Dharma Body, it was akin to facing two True Immortals.
While the Blood Fiend Ancestor might not be familiar with Ice Emperor and the Great Flame Emperor, he had a clear understanding of their Realms. They were merely True Immortals at or between the Second and Third Layer Heaven, which didn't amount to much.
“However, it seems that Fire Virtue has gained quite a bit in this world. His Honghu Dharma Body appears to have grown stronger, as though he's used something to reshape its foundation,” the Blood Fiend Ancestor, a veteran True Immortal, observed with an undeniably sharp eye.
The moment he saw the Fire Virtue Star Lord's Honghu Dharma Body, he noticed the changes in it. It had become much stronger than it once was–not just in terms of the Dharma Body's combat power, but also in terms of its foundational potential.
If the Blood Fiend Ancestor were to describe it, it would feel somewhat familiar, somewhat resembling the Divine Tao Incarnation refined by the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.
With this thought, the Blood Fiend Ancestor couldn't help but shift his gaze to Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, who was not far away.
“Long Life Daoist Friend, how is the plan progressing?” the Blood Fiend Ancestor flashed before Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life and asked aloud.
If it were another True Immortal, given the Blood Fiend Ancestor's personality, his demeanor wouldn't be so friendly, but the person before him was none other than the Immortal Taoist Pei Xuanjing, even if not in his True Body.
It was important to note that the Blood Fiend Ancestor suffered his greatest setback after ascending to True Immortal, when, during the nascent emergence of the Heavenly Court, his incarnation was slain in the struggle for it by Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, who was also an Incarnation at that time.
If it were not for the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing showing mercy at the last moment, the complete destruction of his incarnation could have caused him a significant loss of Primordial Qi.
Moreover, since the rise of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, every strike and every action of his had been earth-shattering and crushing opponents.
If other strong beings perceived only the surface of the Longevity Taoist Monarch's power, it was only a True Immortal like the Blood Fiend Ancestor who could truly feel the terror of the other, and he had no doubt that the Longevity Taoist Monarch was indeed capable of suppressing True Immortals.
Even more importantly, the Blood Fiend Ancestor had now settled in the Netherworld, shut off from the mortal sphere, which greatly increased his strength–this was an opportunity given to him by the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and with the latter being the ruler of the Netherworld, he could not afford to be negligent.
“Blood Fiend Taoist Friend, please take a seat,” Pei Xuanjing gestured, and a chair materialized behind the Blood Fiend Ancestor.
The Blood Fiend Ancestor didn't stand on ceremony and took his seat. Then he quietly watched the Star Lords who had descended into this world with him adapt, all the while listening to his companion discuss the progress of their plan.
Pei Xuanjing made no attempt to hide the progress of his plan, and after concluding, he smiled and asked, “Blood Fiend Taoist, are you interested in crossing hands with the Great Ancient Emperors of this world?”
Upon hearing this, Blood Fiend Ancestor raised an eyebrow, then scanned the surroundings with a light chuckle, “If the opponent has some ability, it would be all right, but now, these old ancestors stepping in would truly be tantamount to bullying the weak.”
To tell the truth, before descending to this world, Blood Fiend Ancestor had indeed looked forward to battling the strong of this world; after all, for a powerful being like him, finding an opponent of equal footing was a matter that made both sides happy.
But, as the saying goes, one arrives in high spirits and leaves feeling disappointed. Harboring great expectations to find worthy opponents in this world, he was let down to find that the so-called Great Ancient Emperors were not as formidable as he imagined.
Fire Virtue Star Lord alone stood against two Great Ancient Emperors without elaboration, and the remaining Star Lords of the Southern Dipper Palace could each contend against a Great Ancient Emperor, who was touted as at the level of a True Immortal, even with the help of the Magic Sword granted by Emperor of Longevity Pei Xuanjing, imbued with authority.
However, even a Magic Sword imbued with authority is not an invincible entity; otherwise, why would the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life need them to descend? He could have gathered enough strong ones to sweep through this world by himself.
As such, it is evident that this world has its deficiencies; the so-called Great Ancient Emperors are not that powerful, which is somewhat disappointing to Blood Fiend Ancestor.
“Hehe, why must you be like this, Taoist Friend? The world is imperfect, and the Taoist Skills are incomplete; in this world, those who can reach the peak are definitely extraordinary and must not be underestimated. What's more, those who have come now are merely the common Great Ancient Emperors. The intent of this Emperor is for you, Taoist Friend, to meet a few of the others,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh.
He could understand the disappointment of Blood Fiend Ancestor, but he did not underestimate the Great Ancient Emperors of this world.
As the saying goes, often wild ones can outperform those raised at home; the strong ones of this world, because of the imperfections of heaven and earth, have fewer advantages of time and geography in their Cultivation compared to the strong ones of the Great Ming World.
But adversity can also be the best way to temper oneself. In this imperfect world, they have reached such heights; once they truly enter the Great Ming World and are free from the troubles of the external environment, they will surely soar to greater heights.
Just like the many Martial Artists in the Great Ming World during the End of Dharma Age, once the world was revived, many of them, like dragons entering the sea or tigers returning to the mountains, rose rapidly with the wind.
If we go back a few hundred years, people like Pei Xuanjing, Wang Boan, Monarch Qingxu, Zhao Baiyang wouldn't have been known during the End of Dharma Age. But with the revival of the world and the merging of realms, they naturally rose to prominence, becoming tide players in the world.
And what about the Martial Artists and Great Ancient Emperors of this world today? Aren't their situations reminiscent of those like Pei Xuanjing who were confined in the Great Ming World back then?
If people like Pei Xuanjing could stand out and reach the pinnacle, then why couldn't these individuals ascend to the top given better opportunities in the future?
Therefore, they must not be underestimated; time and the future hold all sorts of possibilities.
Of course, the few Great Ancient Emperors who have taken action are indeed not strong enough to warrant Blood Fiend Ancestor's effort. Pei Xuanjing never intended for Blood Fiend Ancestor to take action against these people, as it would indeed seem like the strong bullying the weak.
Pei Xuanjing actually wanted Blood Fiend Ancestor to take action against several other Great Ancient Emperors who are about to ascend.
If the activation of the Guiding Altar earlier brought forth various Great Ancient Emperors as an initial probe,
Then with them sending people to obstruct and prevent the Great Ancient Emperors from approaching, plus the celestial signs earned after the descent of Blood Fiend Ancestor and the others, it will inevitably attract the curiosity of even more powerhouses.
The strong ones who really are willing to come next are likely not going to be that simple.
