"Ordinary True Immortals wouldn't contend with us over the Great Fate Technique; even if they are fated to challenge, they aren't fated to succeed!" Superior Life Star Lord said in a cold voice, a streak of chill gleaming in his eyes while the Sea of Blood churned in his wake.
Superior Life Star Lord, known by the title of Seven Kills, wielded the Authority of Slaughter and achieved Tao Certifying through killing. He is now the foremost expert in the Path of Seven Kills. Even Cangyang, who secured Pei Xuanjing's legacy in the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm, still falls far short when compared to Superior Life Star Lord.
Mere benevolence or mere intimidation are not the best means to rule over a domain. Only when kindness and might are both employed, with slaughter and persuasion hand in hand, can one truly master the art of leadership.
If Star Lord Yi Suan plays the role of a military strategist among the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords, akin to the Gentleman with a White Fan in a gang, then Superior Life Star Lord is akin to the General in charge of killing, or the Man with the Twin Red Clubs in a gang.
Over the years, Superior Life Star Lord's Path of Seven Kills has grown ever more formidable, especially since he shared a portion of the Authority of Slaughter with both Great White Star Lord and Fire Virtue Star Lord, which has greatly augmented his Path of Seven Kills as if adding wings to a tiger.
If one was to ask who the most powerful Star Lord beneath the Taoist Monarchs in Heavenly Court was, it would be difficult to reach a consensus in a short time, with a myriad of differing opinions unable to unify.
However, if one were to ask who among the many Star Lords is the most severe in killing, then naturally it would be the trio of Seven Kills, Broken Army, and Greedy Wolf Star Lords. Among them, Seven Kills Star Lord has annihilated countless worlds over tens of thousands of years, slaughtering an untold number of strong beings who refused to submit to the Divine Land World, a fierce reputation enough to quell a crying child.
"Heh, there's no need. Unless someone is a fool, they would not truly think to clash with us head-on. Of course, if there really are those seeking their own doom, then everything can be left to you, Superior Life Star Lord, to handle." Star Lord Yi Suan waved his fan nonchalantly, then a trace of chill flickered in his gaze.
He paused before speaking gravely, "As for us, the real opponents this time should be the forces of Sky Mechanism Pavilion and Bai Xiaosheng Organization, as well as Zi Wei and the subordinates of the Jade Emperor."
"I can understand why the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and Bai Xiaosheng Organization pose a threat, but Zi Wei and the Jade Emperor are both in a predicament; how would they dare to provoke us?" Superior Life Star Lord asked with a puzzled frown.
The involvement of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and Bai Xiaosheng Organization with destiny and heavenly secrets is clear—if they were to acquire the Great Fate Technique, it would naturally be a significant empowerment, and thus their role as formidable opponents is comprehensible.
But why would the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei take action at this time? Do they not think it troublesome?
One must understand that in the current situation, they will inevitably face suppression by the established old Taoist Monarchs.
After all, the fundamental reason why many old Taoist Monarchs allowed the newly ascended ones to act on their own is that no matter what the latter do, they would not harm the interests of the former, hence they were left to their own devices.
However, the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei are different. Though they are newly ascended Dao Lords, they are also holders of Imperial Honors in Heavenly Court. Their alliance signifies a disruption of the balance in Heavenly Court, and even the balance of the world.
Today's events are not an end but a beginning, marking the overt strife between the old Taoist Monarchs and the newly ascended Taoist Lords. Therefore, they will naturally take action to curb it.
Without a doubt, the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei will be the first targets of the old Taoist Monarchs' efforts.
Thus in the eyes of Superior Life Star Lord, the Jade Emperor should currently be preoccupied with his own concerns, their primary task being to secure their base and having no energy to attend to these matters.
"Don't forget, aside from Fire Virtue Star Lord, the rest of us and a few of the Five Elements Star Lords are thorns in the side and burrs in the flesh of both the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei. They wish to retrieve authority over Heavenly Court today; how could they let such an opportunity slip?" Star Lord Due spoke somberly.
The Jade Emperor faces constraints within the Heavenly Court; similarly, the Great Emperor Ziwei is also counterbalanced by others. Unfortunately, this is the role that these Star Lords and the Five Elements Star Lords have to play.
In the past, the Great Emperor Ziwei balanced the Jade Emperor, so when the Great Emperor Ziwei wanted to act against them, the Jade Emperor, with a mindset of causing trouble, would actively prevent the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Therefore, in the Heavenly Court of the past, the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei, along with various True Gods and Star Lords from all parties, formed a balance circle. While they checked and balanced each other, they were also restrained by others.
Now that the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei have joined forces, it is as though they have completely broken free from the shackles, tearing apart this balanced ecosystem. When they retake the authority, the Fire Virtue Star Lord will be the first to be hit, and our own group and the Five Elements Star Lords are similarly situated.
"Moreover, the Great Fate Technique is not only effective against the Fate Controller Star Lord, but also useful for both the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei. The Great Emperor Ziwei, coming from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, although follows the Path of the Stars, also practices Ziwei Astrology, a part of the Path of Heavenly Secrets. Obtaining the Great Fate Technique could also be a good thing for the Great Emperor Ziwei," said Star Lord Yi Suan with a heavy voice.
"The Emperor's Path of the Jade Emperor is naturally compatible with the Myriad Laws. Although the Great Fate Technique doesn't entirely suit him, for the Jade Emperor, a Supreme Divine Power is still extremely precious. Besides, since we're the obstacles that the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei want to remove in their quest to reclaim authority, it's inevitable that they want to eliminate us as stumbling blocks. Not to mention that the Great Fate Technique is quite helpful to them, even if it weren't, these two Imperial Honors wouldn't hesitate to stop and weaken us," said Star Lord Yi Suan gravely.
There are many ways to strike at an opponent, and preventing the opponent from becoming stronger is the most direct and effective method.
With the emergence of the Great Fate Technique, everyone would think that the Fate Controller Star Lord would make a move. How could the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei miss out on this opportunity?
After all, even though the Fire Virtue Star Lord may be isolated without support, he is still a veteran Daoist Monarch, and only the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei themselves can handle him.
On the other hand, the six Star Lords of the Southern Dipper, no matter how strong they are, have still not stepped into the realm of Daoist Monarchs. Such powerful beings are much easier for the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei to handle than dealing with the Fire Virtue Star Lord.
"So this means our main opponents are four parties: the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, the Bai Xiaosheng Organization, the Jade Emperor, and Ziwei," a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Superior Life Star Lord.
"Correct!" Star Lord Yi Suan slowly spoke, addressing those present: "In the world now, only the Taoist Lords are the true rulers. This battle will decide our positions in the Future."
As Time shifts, perhaps in the past, at the beginning of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, it was dominated by True Immortal Strong ones. True Immortals were the supreme beings, and that's why they took huge risks to unite and suppress that True Immortal Level Great Emperor to seize fortune.
But ten thousand years have passed, and while True Immortals are still considered powerful, enjoying enough status, they nevertheless fall short when compared to the many Daoist Monarchs.
Daoist Monarchs are the true masters of the world, an invincible presence at the True Immortal Seventh Layer, compared to ordinary True Immortals.
Daoist Monarchs are the real players in the great game of the Realms of Heavenly Seas. All the other True Immortals, even those at the True Immortal Sixth Layer, even if they have many rights and much freedom, are essentially just chess pieces at the end of the day, lacking the qualification to jump out of the Chessboard and still subject to manipulation by others.
The alliance of these six Star Lords indeed constitutes a colossal force within the Heavenly Court, in the Divine Land World, as well as the Realms of Heavenly Seas, but compared to true Daoist Monarchs, they fall far short. Without the power at the level of Daoist Monarchs, they don't even have the right to converse equally with them.
Because no matter how powerful they consider themselves or how many True Immortals they can gather, such a force is threatening to ordinary immortal sects, large immortal sects.
But to real Daoist Monarchs, the Top Immortal Sects, they are just beings who can be suppressed with a flick of the hand, possessing not the slightest threat.
