Because once that happens, it not only affects their morale but also concerns life and death.
Today you are able to suppress Great Emperor Ziwei, does that mean you could suppress me tomorrow?
If we are indifferent to the life and death of Great Emperor Ziwei today, then will you also stand by tomorrow when an experienced Dao Lord deals with me?
No one wants to find themselves isolated and without support, especially these newly ascended Dao Lords who originally came together for warmth.
Thus, it's fine for Great Emperor Ziwei to be defeated, but once there is a danger of falling or being suppressed, the rest of the newly ascended Dao Lords will absolutely not stand by and watch.
Even, this situation is something some experienced Dao Lords will not allow to happen.
They can suppress the newly ascended Dao Lords, but they absolutely do not want to see a Dao Lord fall before everyone's eyes.
For these experienced Dao Lords, they certainly have conflicts of interest and disputes with the newly ascended Dao Lords, as they are not from the same path.
But from another perspective, for the True Immortals under those Dao Lords, they are the high and untouchable Dao Lords, whom one must not endanger.
The fall of a Dao Lord today, in front of everyone, whether they are newly ascended or experienced Dao Lords, leads to the loss of dignity before the True Immortals, instilling a sense of awe in many of them.
The maximum they can accept is suppression of the other party, not the direct killing of Great Emperor Ziwei.
Do not forget, apart from being a newly ascended Dao Lord, Great Emperor Ziwei is also a Venerable of the Heavenly Court. If he is directly killed, it would be equivalent to completely tearing apart the dignity of the Heavenly Court, the dignity of the Heavenly Court being swept away, and how to command the All Heavens and Myriad Realms thereafter.
Moreover, besides that, they are also not yet ready to really start a war. If today Great Emperor Ziwei falls here, it will surely make those newly ascended Dao Lords feel endangered, and perhaps the next moment will ignite the flames of war, triggering a great battle.
"Sword Emperor is also somewhat unwilling to be lonely!" Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly.
As soon as the words fell, within this Chaos Void a terrifying Sword Intent dominating everything burst forth, making the entire Chaos Void tremble, causing countless strong beings to feel panic.
The sky-high killing intent permeated the entire Realms of Heavenly Seas, and a figure in white appeared, with a simple and unadorned long sword hanging at his waist, yet no one dared to underestimate him.
The leader of the Sword Sect, Sword Emperor, a Dao Lord level strong being.
"Why has Sword Emperor made a move?" Yu Zhenzi wore a shocked expression, not understanding why Sword Emperor would suddenly take action at this time, completely without reason.
Pei Xuanjing said indifferently, "He is trying to stop the Jade Emperor!"
Sword Emperor originally did not need to take action, but since the Jade Emperor had the intention to intervene, Sword Emperor naturally would not just watch.
Originally, this was just a clash between Taoist Monarch Tianji and Great Emperor Ziwei, two Dao Lord strong beings, but seeing Great Emperor Ziwei at a disadvantage, the Jade Emperor could not just stand by, especially since under the attack and defense alliance governed by their agreement, if Great Emperor Ziwei is in danger, the Jade Emperor must intervene.
The Jade Emperor finally managed to win over the Great Emperor Ziwei as an ally, breaking the shackles placed by various Dao Lords for him. If the situation of the Great Emperor Ziwei is ignored now, then no one else will provide help to him in the future.
The Jade Emperor took a step, his body surrounded by divine light, his imperial aura oppressive from all sides, as if he were a natural emperor. Everything around him submitted, and wherever his gaze swept, all spirits yielded, and the heavens bowed their heads.
The Emperor's Path means commanding the heaven and earth, oppressing all, and turning all beings into subjects. Even the True Immortal Strong, in front of the Jade Emperor at this moment, felt an urge to submit, experiencing an overwhelming pressure from deep within their souls.
This is the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Celestial Realm. The hearts of emperors are the most unfathomable; each emperor is a legend amongst heaven and earth. Their rise to power stepped on the bones of countless strong beings, forging their renowned names with numerous powerful adversaries.
It might seem that in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor's authority is restrained by others, regarded by many strong beings as mere puppetry, but only those who truly understand the existence of the Jade Emperor know just how terrifying he can be.
Over these ten thousand years, the subordinates of the Jade Emperor have ceaselessly ventured to explore worlds and plunder fortuitous opportunities. The Jade Emperor himself has killed countless strong beings, turning them into nourishment for his growth.
It appears that Ziwei, Donghua, and Emperor Gou Chen, these three Emperor Monarchs, restrained his authority by collaborating. But upon reflection, as co-Venerables of the Heavenly Court, it requires their joint effort just to restrain him, and they still cannot ensure a lasting advantage. Such a fearsome existence is not something even the Great Emperor Ziwei would consider prestigious.
Keep in mind that often, even the combined forces of Independent Practitioners struggle to contain him, and sometimes it requires the help of Dao Lords from the shadows.
Such a powerful figure, who is restrained by three Venerables and occasionally needs the covert intervention of Dao Lords, how could he truly be a puppet? If he really were a puppet, why would these people worry so much about him, expending such great costs?
The alliance between the Great Emperor Ziwei and the Jade Emperor signifies not only their unwillingness to continue being manipulated by Dao Lords like Heavenly Mechanism Dao, but also because he knows better than anyone the terrifying aspect of the Jade Emperor, an existence that cannot be perpetually restrained.
He knows that unless the Longevity Daoist Monarch personally intervenes, the Jade Emperor will eventually break free from the shackles. The stricter the restraint now, the more terrifying the Jade Emperor will be when he breaks free, and when that day comes, he will undoubtedly face the fearsome Jade Emperor.
Even the Great Emperor Ziwei wouldn't want to witness such a scenario. This is why during the trials in the Myriad Laws Realm, Emperor Gou Chen instructed his subordinates to stop the Jade Emperor's people from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique at all costs, even if it means giving up numerous fortuitous opportunities.
However, Emperor Gou Chen's plans ultimately failed. The alliance between the Great Emperor Ziwei and the Jade Emperor directly shattered the shackles they created, granting the Jade Emperor access to the Great Law Decree Technique, filling in a flaw of his own, and qualifying him to truly face the veteran Dao Lords.
As a once dominant sovereign, the Jade Emperor's origins might seem noble compared to an Independent Practitioner; but if one truly understands his life's journey, they know how legendary his rise to power has been, especially in comparison to the real overlords.
Rising from a vassal prince of a Mortal Empire to establishing the Divine Dynasty and continuously growing into an emperor, this process indeed involved the support of the Longevity Daoist Monarch, but all true powerhouses understand that if the Jade Emperor himself were not capable, he would never have reached his current position, nor would he be so deeply feared by so many Dao Lords.
Initially, the Jade Emperor followed the paths of those ancient almighty beings of the human race, with many sovereigns and Lord of the Divine Dynasty as his reference. But from the moment he ascended to his position, he has genuinely surpassed his predecessors, walking a path of the Emperor's Path unprecedented.
The many hardships he endured along this path can be called trailblazing and extraordinary. Despite numerous failures, these undoubtedly added to the color of his legendary life.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor, donned in an Emperor Robe, elegant and amiable, stands in the Chaos Void, gazing at the Sword Emperor standing with his sword, showing no trace of fear or worry, and calmly stated: "Does the Sword Emperor seek to block my path?"
This seemingly light remark displayed the Jade Emperor's confidence; facing the Sword Emperor, a veteran Dao Lord, potentially one of the top ten amongst many Dao Lords, he showed no wavering.
The wind, gently blowing through this void, stirs countless Chaos Qi, but has no effect on these two distant, opposing Dao Lords.
Though powerful like the Sword Emperor, facing the Jade Emperor, would not underestimate him lightly.
