Chapter 1443: Chapter 1390 – Chapter 1391_2 Chapter 1443: Chapter 1390 – Chapter 1391_2 Their plan was filled with madness and boldness, not just any ordinary scheme, nor one achievable by common folk. However, it was precisely such plans that earned their recognition.
You see, each of those Star Lords involved in the plan had reached the limits of the Supreme Strong, touching the threshold of the Immortal Path, even like the Fate Controller resurrected from Ancient Times, whose depth was profound.
Yet, even so, they were still barred from the Immortal Path Realm. It was known that this Heavenly Chasm was incredibly difficult to cross, and conventional methods only fared worse in such tough passages.
With mortal bodies, they fought against True Immortals–a seemingly insane, suicidal tactic. However, it was exactly this extreme madness, this venture of survival hanging by a thread, that forced them into a corner, thoroughly unleashing their potential and drawing out extraordinary combat strength.
For such individuals, who were only a hair's breadth away from the level of True Immortal, breaking through the current ceiling above them and freeing themselves from their shackles could definitely provide an opportunity to traverse the Heavenly Chasm and ascend to True Immortal.
The initial proposer of this daring plan was none other than Star Lord Due, a practitioner of the Demonic Way.
Having obtained a promise previously, he participated in the plans of the Fire Virtue Star Lord to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter. Although later on, the Fire Virtue Star Lord shifted his focus towards his own Fire Spirit Bead, showing little concern for the matters of Authority of Slaughter, or perhaps such matters were never his focal point.
Yet for Star Lords like Great White and Star Lord Due, what seemed like a trivial layout to others to attract attention was of utmost significance.
For them, they did not possess such fortune as the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who, as the discoverer of this world, received the Emperor's blessing to ascend to True Immortal.
Nor were they like the Fire Virtue Star Lord, a True Immortal who relied solely on his strength to give and take what he wanted, with the luck of obtaining a Divine Object that resonated perfectly with his being.
These two could only rely on their own capabilities to seek fortuitous opportunities and a chance to break through to True Immoral. Under the current circumstances, the Authority of Slaughter was undoubtedly their best chance, the grandest of opportunities.
However, as previously mentioned, the cake of the Authority of Slaughter was too big, impossible for one person to consume alone, not to mention these two Supreme Overlords who were far from being True Immortals. Even a True Immortal like the Fire Virtue Star Lord couldn't face it alone, hence his alternative choice of the Fire Spirit Bead.
Despite the Fire Spirit Bead meshing well with the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the gains from fighting for the Authority of Slaughter alone would unquestionably have been greater.
Unfortunately, the Fire Virtue Star Lord knew all too well that even as a True Immortal, he was incapable of monopolizing such power. Should he have harbored such a thought, he would indeed have been a step away from death. In that situation, not even the Longevity Taoist Monarch could have ensured his safety.
Thus, after Pei Xuanjing spoke of the unique uses of the Fire Spirit Bead–even at the cost of significant time for growth–he decisively chose that path. It consumed time yet prevented him from falling into a hostile situation against the whole world.
Apart from Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, no one else under the heavens could claim the capability to fight against the entire world, not even Pei Xuanjing himself would readily fall into such a situation.
Therefore, though the Authority of Slaughter eventually materialized, being the true motivators, neither Great White Star Lord nor Star Lord Due could monopolize it; portions were apportioned off among various parties.
Including what was taken by the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the remaining arrivals of True Immortals, and many Supreme Overlords shared the spoils, and they managed to retain a portion only due to the Emperor's protection.
Inevitably, the Authority of Slaughter was not just any authority. Listed among the top dignities not just for its inherent power but also for its versatility–it was indeed the panacea. All strong cultivators could practice it, for every powerful individual had risen to their position by stepping over the corpses of their foes; they certainly didn't lack the will to slaughter.
So, after great effort, although the obtained authority had strengthened his abilities, it was far from enough to truly advance to a True Immortal and break through this layer of bondage.
Therefore, they needed to find other ideas, a taboo method originally circulated in the Demonic Way emerged in the mind of Star Lord Due, and since the moment this thought arose, it could never be dispelled; instead, it only grew stronger, utterly uncontainable.
To become stronger was always an unchanged desire in the heart of Star Lord Due, from the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, no matter how many he killed within the Demonic Way or what tortures he underwent, his intention to become stronger had never changed.
This, perhaps, could also be called remaining true to one's original aspirations.
However, for such a person with resolute goals, his stubborn character could become a powerful aid to him but also bring unimaginable risks.
Just like now, for Star Lord Due, the thought of becoming stronger had penetrated deeply into his heart, making it impossible to erase, and to become stronger, he was willing to give everything, make any sacrifice, and resort to any means.
If it were other powerful beings, upon facing barriers, they would perhaps try harder, think of other methods, but it would be difficult to come up with such a mad and bold approach as that of Star Lord Due.
Challenging a True Immortal with a mortal body was not a first, many in the Divine Land World desired to challenge True Immortals as supreme strong beings, even before the Enthroning Gods began, Bai Qicang, who was known as the foremost beneath True Immortals, had previously challenged the incarnation of Blood Fiend Ancestor.
Though at the time, with Bai Qicang's formidable strength, when facing the True Immortal Blood Fiend Ancestor–even if it was just his incarnation–he had no power to resist, and if it hadn't been for the appearance of Longevity Taoist Monarch, Bai Qicang might have perished, but at least his courage was commendable.
After Bai Qicang, there were also several supreme strong beings who had initiated challenges against True Immortals, but apart from the terrifying Emperor Wenchang Wang Boan, none of them succeeded.
Even being summoned to this world, the incarnation of Fire Virtue Star Lord at True Immortal Realm challenging Emperor Tianyang had also not succeeded in the end.
From the fact that so many strong beings took up challenges against True Immortals, and only one succeeded in the end, one could see the great risks involved in such an endeavor.
Moreover, what Star Lord Due intended to do was even crazier than this, he was not just challenging a True Immortal, or defeating a True Immortal, but also conquering a True Immortal and plundering his fortuitous opportunities for his own use, thus paving his way through the Heavenly Chasm.
Even in the terrifyingly evil nature of Emperor Wenchang Wang Boan who pioneered the precedent of a mortal defeating a True Immortal, even he couldn't truly conquer a True Immortal back then.
True Immortals are regarded as the most powerful beings in the current understanding; they possess immense power, nearly eternal life, and unimaginable divine abilities.
The only opponents fit for a True Immortal are True Immortals; the gap between the mortal and the Immortal Realm is difficult to cross.
Although Emperor Wenchang broke the iron rule that a True Immortal can only be defeated by another True Immortal, a True Immortal is not so easily conquered or fallen, their powerful essence grants them unimaginable vitality.
From the birth of True Immortals, the number of True Immortals that have appeared in the Divine Land World seems vast, but in fact, compared to the massive population base of the Divine Land World, this number is truly minuscule.
