Chapter 2065: Chapter 1210–1211: Ruthless Competition, Clash of the Titans (Part 2)
Now it seems that he was somewhat naive, underestimating the changes in the situation, underestimating the influence of interests, and also underestimating the rapid growth of the opponent’s forces.
“There have long been many strong individuals cheering for them, and these few are just at the forefront to attract attention, as a probe. Behind them, there must be the shadow of several ancestors. So we are also helpless, and the situation is chaotic, even possibly having to reluctantly adopt the last resort.” The Red Flame King had a somewhat gloomy expression.
The overseas situation is by no means as easy as imagined. Although their Red Flame Empire is indeed one of the pinnacle forces of the overseas human race, it is also difficult to resist those undercurrents surging.
It’s important to know that these people, in the end, are just supreme strong individuals and not true immortals. Although there are not many true immortals among the Five Emperors’ descendants, there are also quite a few.
Within the Five Emperors’ descendants, besides the Five Great Emperor Monarchs, there are also various kings. In their own era, these kings are also mighty figures commanding the heavens and earth. Even if they have not proven themselves as Taoist Monarchs, after returning, they possess considerable power and following.
Some powerful kings, in fact, have reputations not inferior to the Five Emperors. Nowadays, following the Five Emperors is simply due to not having proven themselves as Taoist Monarchs, unable to form their own faction, and because of shared interests.
“It seems the situation is very complex and indeed needs a clean-up; otherwise, that would become the biggest concern for the Five Emperors’ descendants.” The Fire Emperor’s expression was solemn, as if seeing the most critical form. If the overseas Five Emperors’ descendants have too many ideas, it’s absolutely not a good thing for them, at least not now.
However, what he can handle is only the level below true immortals; the level above true immortals still needs people behind the scenes to deal with.
“The Five Emperors’ era is ultimately too distant. The later kings themselves possess immense influence.” The Red Flame King’s expression was complicated as he spoke.
Inside the Five Emperors’ descendants, things are intricate. Some kings are themselves descendants of the Five Emperors. They have their own ideas, and people like us simply do not have the standing to speak.
“There’s no need to worry too much. As time goes by, there will inevitably be people with endless ambitions, it’s just a matter of time. When encountered, you have to take the challenge head-on and completely resolve the issue.” The Fire Emperor’s expression was cold as he spoke.
As the most powerful figures within the Five Emperors’ descendants, the Lords of the Five Divine Dynasties are powerful enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with some true immortal kings. The fact that he can sit in this position naturally proves his extraordinary ability.
The Red Flame King was silent when he heard this. He believed the other party had this ability, which is why he revealed everything at this moment, hoping the other could resolve everything.
However, he also understood that this would certainly be a colossal loss, regardless of which side wins; it would be the same for the human race of the Five Emperors.
“Several Emperor Monarchs, what are you really thinking? Now is truly not the time for nurturing venomous intentions.” The Red Flame King thought quietly in his heart.
“It seems necessary to make a trip overseas to thoroughly resolve the overseas disputes, so that all forces can be fully consolidated. The power on Jade Emperor’s side should not be underestimated. As the legitimate orthodoxy of heaven and earth, it surely has many supporters.” The Fire Emperor sighed somewhat, never expecting that at this point, he would be going to war overseas to end the ambitions of certain individuals.
He knew many disapproved of the Jade Emperor but also did not want the Five Emperors’ descendants to seize authority again, especially those forces that experienced the rule of the Human Race Common Master.
If not for this, why would the Witch Deity Teaching Master throw out the Kongtong Seal, even allowing other strong individuals to tacitly approve it falling into the Jade Emperor’s hands without the human race’s obstruction?
“I still hope to resolve the disputes peacefully and prevent the rise of warfare!” The Red Flame King said with a complex expression.
If both sides engage in a great battle, the positions of people like them are the most complex, so it would be best to resolve things peacefully.
“Fire Emperor, it’s been a long time, how have you been?” The slender figure of Marquis Bamboo Sword appeared in the air, his eyes calm as he looked at the Fire Emperor in front of him. Although his tone was calm, a formidable aura emanated from him, intimidating many powerful figures.
A swordsman at the supreme strong level was inherently one of the peak existences in the Mortal Realm.
However, the Red Flame King beside him wore a surprised expression, originally believing that the Fire Emperor did not know Marquis Bamboo Sword, which was why he intended to explain the latter’s background. However, from Marquis Bamboo Sword’s words, it seemed these two were not unfamiliar with each other.
“Long time no see, Zhu. When we parted that day, who would have thought a thousand years would pass so quickly? Zhu, your Sword Path has indeed reached new heights!” Flames rose from behind the Fire Emperor, blocking Marquis Bamboo Sword’s terrifying momentum, and he spoke softly.
“It’s been quite some time, how has your Great Path of Fire been?” Marquis Bamboo Sword cast a cold glance, his bamboo sword lightly moving into his hand, then slashed in the Fire Emperor’s direction, as if he intended to instantly cut him down. The sharp attack burst forth in an instant, containing the power of the Laws, eternal and unyielding.
“Hmm!” The Red Flame King showed surprise, thinking these two have quite a grudge.
Watching Marquis Bamboo Sword directly take action without saying much, the Fire Emperor frowned slightly but then disappeared in an instant. A red divine flag appeared above his head, with blossoming divine fires materializing.
“Courting death,” a cold snort sounded. The red divine flag above his head fell like a long spear from the sky, directly breaking through Marquis Bamboo Sword’s attack, bearing an unstoppable momentum, charging at Marquis Bamboo Sword. The long spear pierced through the space, invincible, this was the most terrifying strike fueled by furious anger.
“Boom”
A shattering sound resounded in the air. The red divine flag struck with unexpected speed. Marquis Bamboo Sword didn’t even have time to react as it pierced through his arm, with drops of azure divine blood falling from the sky.
“The Fire Emperor is indeed terrifying, he’s already stepped into the realm of Supreme Overlord.” The Red Flame King showed a shocked expression, never expecting the conflict between these two to explode so quickly, and even less that the Fire Emperor had stepped into the realm of Supreme Overlord. Such a strong individual is only a step away from the Immortal Path.
“Hmm, even if you’ve stepped into the realm of Supreme Overlord, so what!” Marquis Bamboo Sword’s expression suddenly sank. Although his arm was pierced just now, he seemed unaffected, his wound recovering instantly as if it was never injured.
The body of a supreme strong individual has remarkable vitality, moreover, as a Wood Dao cultivator, his bamboo sword became lushly green, sweeping across the Ten Directions, shattering the ages. At this moment, Marquis Bamboo Sword unleashed his onslaught to the fullest.
As a previous loser, since he dared to challenge the Fire Emperor again, he was confident enough. Just now, he was caught off guard. Even if the other had stepped into the Supreme Overlord realm, he was not afraid at all.
Marquis Bamboo Sword’s cold eyes locked onto the Fire Emperor, chilling murderous intent radiating, wild, explosive, and frenzied. This was the true Marquis Bamboo Sword, an unparalleled swordsman.
Raising the bamboo sword high, as if piercing the sun and moon, Marquis Bamboo Sword unhesitatingly charged towards the Fire Emperor.
“Boom”
A crisp cracking sound came from the sky, fire rolled out from the void, as if burning everything, pervasive. Even the bamboo sword in Marquis Bamboo Sword’s hand seemed to be tinged with a slight crimson.
“Clang”
“Clang”
“Clang”
“Clang”
The clash of these two supreme strong individuals triggered a world-shaking war. The aftermath of their engagement forced even the Red Flame King, also a supreme strong individual, to retreat and not get involved.
It wasn’t that he feared the battle, for as an overseas-affecting emperor, the Red Flame King’s strength was unquestionable.
However, his position was somewhat awkward. Although originating overseas, he leaned towards the Fire Emperor, preventing him from intervening at this moment.
“Marquis Bamboo Sword truly deserves the title of overseas top Sword Path expert, his Sword Path is in no way inferior to the strong individuals of the Sword Sect,” thought the Red Flame King as he watched the clash of the two strong individuals.
“However, the domineering Fire Dao inherently restrains the Wood Dao. Given the lesser realm, I’m afraid Marquis Bamboo Sword will lose!”
