Chapter 1023: Chapter 313 Against Eastern Emperor Tai Yi_4
No wonder the Elder Lord decided to let them return without stopping them.
Of course, there’s another possibility: even if the Elder Lord wanted to stop them, he might not be able to.
“Alright, Friend Emperor Jun, let’s not speak of past hardships. Let’s discuss how we stand now.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s words, Emperor Jun held his peace.
The Respectable Daoist Lingbao’s eyes were cold, filled with killing intent. His gentle demeanor was reserved only for the other two of the Three Pure Ones, not for others.
In fact, when facing enemies, the Respectable Daoist Lingbao is the most ruthless.
Once he decides to act, it’s generally a fight to the death.
“What do you intend?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate asked.
Agreeing to the other’s re-establishment of the Heavenly Court is absolutely impossible.
The only option now is to see if they have reasonable demands, which might be considered.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said calmly: “We wish to witness the current Heavenly Court’s strength, to see if they have the qualifications to claim supremacy over the Three Realms. If they cannot even pass our challenge, what right do they have to become Supreme of the Three Realms?”
“You still wish to re-establish the Heavenly Court?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s face darkened.
“Let’s fight.”
The Respectable Daoist Lingbao said, already prepared to act.
If not for the Elder Lord’s glance, the Respectable Daoist Lingbao’s attack might have already been unleashed.
Fortunately, the Elder Lord is present, able to restrain the Respectable Daoist Lingbao.
His eagerness for battle surpasses even the other two.
Emperor Jun smirked, saying: “Of course not. Both of us are Heavenly Emperors, naturally we hold the title of Heavenly Emperor in high regard. We want to know whether the people of later generations truly have the ability to be called Heavenly Emperor.”
“So?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate continued to ask.
He knew the other’s ultimate goal was to re-establish the Heavenly Court.
But, this Heavenly Court must not be established by them.
Needless to say, if Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were to join forces and establish a Heavenly Court, the future days of the Three Pure Ones would undoubtedly be difficult.
It would be extremely challenging for them to shake Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun.
The powers of the two Divine Dynasties, combined with the growth of these years, is terrifying to consider.
“Therefore, we want to test the current Heavenly Court’s strength. Let’s do this: I and Emperor Jun will come forth to battle, the Heavenly Court will send out two Supremes to fight us. If they can fight us to a draw, they are considered qualified to establish the Heavenly Court.”
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi chuckled.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in uproar.
Everyone knows that the current Heavenly Emperor, Great Emperor Ziwei, has only been in position for a few centuries.
Although he has become Supreme, his strength has not reached its peak.
Facing a formidable Supreme like Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, there’s hardly any chance of victory.
However, with Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s proposed challenge, if the Heavenly Court refuses, would it mean the Heavenly Court fears them?
If so, the Heavenly Court’s reputation would be entirely lost.
Then Eastern Emperor Tai Yi can claim that such a Heavenly Court is unworthy of ruling, and Great Emperor Ziwei would be unable to refute.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate snorted coldly, spoke icily: “Otherwise, let me test you, to see if the current Heavenly Court has the qualifications to command earth and sky.”
Upon hearing Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s words, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi casually smiled, somewhat mocking as he said: “Does Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate have no faith in the individual he favors?”
“You clearly know he has only been in position for centuries, with strength yet to peak, yet you challenge him. Are you, Tai Yi, so shameless as to pick on the weak?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate retorted.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression grew serious, he spoke with calm: “Emperor Jun and I, in our day, had the strength of Three Realms Supremacy even before reaching the position of Great Heavenly Venerate. Is the current Heavenly Emperor so weak he dares not accept our challenge?”
Continuing, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi chuckled lightly, mocking tone: “If not, here’s a suggestion: I don’t expect him to draw against me. As long as he can withstand a hundred moves from me and Emperor Jun, I will acknowledge the current Heavenly Court.”
With those words, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s party had troubled expressions.
Should they refuse now, it would be disgraceful.
Equally, it shows distrust in Great Emperor Ziwei, their Heavenly Emperor.
But, can Great Emperor Ziwei truly withstand a hundred moves against them?
They felt uncertain, quite perturbed.
After all, they had some measure of Great Emperor Ziwei’s true strength.
His time as Supreme has been far too brief.
If he had a thousand years, they would agree.
At this moment, Great Emperor Ziwei’s voice sounded.
“I accept your challenge.”
Great Emperor Ziwei appeared, a grand display of purple aura.
He stepped into the Supreme Realm, bearing the might of heaven and earth.
However, despite his powerful aura.
Everyone could see that Great Emperor Ziwei’s strength was indeed vastly different than Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun.
Comparing the cultivation levels of the two sides, the gap was glaringly obvious.
“Agreed, set a time.”
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi responded with some indifference.
The Elder Lords looked at Great Emperor Ziwei worriedly, doubting his ability against Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, having little confidence in him.
Yet Great Emperor Ziwei showed no signs of worry, walking forward calmly.
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s words, Great Emperor Ziwei chuckled lightly, saying: “Why wait for another day when today is as good as any. Let’s begin.”
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi paused slightly, somewhat taken aback.
