Chapter 1467: Chapters 1414-1415: Who is the True Demonic Way_2 Chapter 1467: Chapters 1414-1415: Who is the True Demonic Way_2 Now that he was ready to intervene, the fact that the other party was acting as if deaf to his presence, allowing things to follow their own course, completely contradicted Blood Fiend Ancestor's expectations and defied all logic.
To explain such a phenomenon, recalling past events, there could only be one answer: there were reasons unknown to him, a trap lying in wait for his misstep.
“It seems there are secrets I'm unaware of,” Blood Fiend Ancestor's eyes glittered with a sharp light as a speculation arose in his heart.
Although everyone was a True Immortal, and all were powerhouses of the Divine Land World, they were divided into factions. The True Immortals could act together on major matters, but not everything was shared completely; they relied on their own abilities, their own schemes, and their own sources of information.
Just like now, with many Star Lords scheming over the matter of the Ancient Sun Emperor, it was Pei Xuanjing who, as Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life, proposed the basic framework. They would then flesh it out with details and organize participants.
However, during this process, Pei Xuanjing would only take his rightful share of the benefits. The remaining benefits were released for the other True Immortals to seize based on their capabilities.
Even within their plan, only Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life Pei Xuanjing knew all the details, and other parts were managed by different True Immortals, each aware of only their segment's full specifics.
Pei Xuanjing always let things take their course. If his position didn't necessitate his presence for a portion of the assurance and to provide a foundation of mutual trust amongst the True Immortals, Pei Xuanjing wouldn't even wish to know the specific actions of each True Immortal.
That's because Pei Xuanjing knew full well, that even with him present, these people would not reveal all their plans and intentions, nor would they act exactly as he willed. Each of them had their own thoughts.
After all, which among these True Immortals wasn't supremely confident? Each one had their own ideas and understandings, and even the most perfect plan would have its flaws pointed out by them.
So even if Pei Xuanjing came up with a complete plan, they could find various shortcomings to criticise and oppose, let alone when Pei Xuanjing afforded such freedom and then assigned them a part of the plan to manage themselves. Who could guarantee they wouldn't add their private agendas? It almost seemed a certainty.
Judging others by oneself, Blood Fiend Ancestor couldn't confidently tell others that he had been completely forthright about all the details he shared with the True Immortals, without any concealment. Thus, seeing Profound Heaven True Monarch's indifferent demeanor naturally led him to suspect whether the other had strategies in place, which explained such confidence and lack of fear of his intervention.
In any case, whether Profound Heaven True Monarch had his pieces in the game, his plans laid out, or if he had detected the workings of another True Immortal, it was evident that this attitude made Blood Fiend Ancestor waver and less confident than before.
At this moment, Blood Fiend Ancestor focused his entire attention on the overall layout of the situation. He began to reconsider the plan from start to finish, hoping to find some trail and verify his speculations or to locate the trap.
Of course, all this occurred in the blink of an eye, from the moment the Ancient Sun Emperor at the Sun Divine Palace released his formidable power, activating the Sun Laws to reach a peak, to the verbal sparring between the two seasoned True Immortals, it was just a flick of the fingers.
And just as these two saw the prospect of a fish taking the bait, a prey entangled in the net, the other Great Ancient Emperors of this world sensed the Ancient Sun Emperor's strength at that moment and each harbored different sentiments.
“The power of the Ancient Sun Emperor is indeed terrifying!”
“Deserving of a peak level powerhouse, such strength…”
Of course, what first came to their minds was that the power erupting from one person having mastered both the Yin Laws and the Sun Laws was so terrifying, several times more fearsome than what they had anticipated.
This invisibly proved the correctness of the choice they had made in the past; they were right to suppress and balance the Great Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor back then. Had they allowed a victor to emerge from the clash of the two, inevitably, a fearsome powerhouse would have been born, capable of suppressing everything under heaven.
“The Ancient Sun Emperor, so mighty, has been driven to this extent… The power and terror of the Heavenly Court is truly formidable,” the Devouring Sky Emperor's gaze revealed a look of shock.
Indeed, the terror of the Ancient Sun Emperor's power that had erupted at this moment had shocked him, but what was even more frightening was what lurked behind it.
He thought to himself that the Divine Land World was so fearsome, that by merely dispatching a few Star Lords, they had forced the present Ancient Sun Emperor to forcibly invoke the Yin Laws that he had yet to master.
One must know that even the Ancient Sun Emperor, who solely mastered the Sun Laws, was a peak-level mighty one among the many Great Ancient Emperors. If it ever came to a solo fight to the death, there were absolutely no more than a handful in this group of Great Ancient Emperors who could confidently claim to overcome him.
And yet, such an Ancient Sun Emperor was pushed to such a state by merely a few Star Lords. It was truly unimaginable to think what would happen if the Yin Laws were to be fully invoked in a fight to the end.
And this was with the Ancient Sun Emperor holding his own trump card; if it were any other Great Ancient Emperor without the Ancient Sun Emperor's desperate gambit, then faced with such a situation, would they have no choice but to be captured?
Moreover, some things cannot be simply judged on the surface. However, these Star Lords employed their methods or secret moves, it was undoubted that their power and Realm had not yet stepped into the Great Ancient Emperor Realm, a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
If several Star Lords of Supreme King level could achieve this, pushing a Great Ancient Emperor to fight desperately, then what if these Star Lords were replaced with True Immortals at the same level as the Great Ancient Emperors?
No one would believe that the same methods and trump cards usable by Star Lords, when switched to True Immortals, would not be attainable; that would likely be much simpler, wouldn't it?
If that were the case, the power unleashed by this Array would multiply by several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times; even the same number of Great Ancient Emperors would not be able to contend and would be easily suppressed.
Seeing one spot is enough to comprehend the whole leopard; the profundity of the Divine Land World is too deep for them to imagine, so deep that they simply cannot contend.
Thinking of this, whether it was the Emperor of Longevity faction or the Ancient Sun Emperor faction, eyes of those Great Ancient Emperors all revealed a complex look.
The current Ancient Sun Emperor was so terror-stricken that he had to fight desperately. If the other side could easily disengage, well and good; there would still be room for discussion. But if they were to fall now, it would mean that the gap between them was irreparable.
So, even though the outcome was not yet decided, when the Ancient Sun Emperor began to desperately fight, and to grapple with a group of supreme-level beings to such an extent that he needed to fight for his life, that already cast an indelible shadow over the hearts of many Great Ancient Emperors.
All who had reached this point as Great Ancient Emperors were not ones to concede defeat lightly; if at any time they were to easily draw back, then they would not have the right to reach this level on the path of cultivation.
But so-called perseverance is under the context of effort yielding results, and seeing the hope of success, a situation with a possibility of success.
Seeing the strength demonstrated by the Heavenly Court at this moment only intensified their shock. At first, it was the gap between them and the True Immortals of the Heavenly Court due to the heavens and the earth, and they had accepted it. But now, these Star Lords of Heavenly Court–mere supreme-level Martial Artists–could force a peak Great Ancient Emperor to his downfall, they couldn't help feeling that the gap between them was a chasm.
