Strong individuals are prideful, and until the very last moment, no one is willing to admit defeat.
In fact, for some strong individuals, when they truly reach the end of the road with no retreat, they are never lacking in the courage to perish together with their foes; they would rather fight to the death than compromise with their opponent.
Immortals are also human, and though the essence of life for True Immortals has changed, it does not mean they are Holy Sages; they possess desires and ambitions similar to ordinary cultivators, often magnified, continually pursuing greater strength.
For both Wood Virtue Star Lord and Qingling Primordial Lord, before they truly clashed, perhaps someone could mediate, prompting them to each make some concessions.
But once they actually come to blows, they definitely aim to thoroughly suppress the other, reducing an enemy for themselves.
Even if Wood Virtue Star Lord has reservations, knowing he cannot directly slay Qingling Primordial Lord, he does not mind stripping him of everything, depriving him of any chance of rising again, thoroughly eliminating an enemy.
For Qingling Primordial Lord, it is even more so; he knows that once he attacks Wood Virtue Star Lord, the enmity between them becomes irreconcilable. Even if he cannot destroy him, he would not mind taking away everything from him, even sending him into slumber, or into reincarnation.
No one wishes to leave themselves with a potential enemy, unless one has reached the level of the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
And in the eyes of many, even though the Longevity Taoist Monarch now seems to be carefree, for those who truly fought against this Taoist Monarch during his rise, there were almost no favorable outcomes.
Not to mention anything else, just the Taixu Sect of old, where the Taixu Taoist became a stepping stone for his rise to fame.
And as for the Canglang Palace, although the Supreme Elder of the Canglang Palace later escaped alive, even breaking through to become a Supreme Strong, and then certifying as a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, thereby creating the Canglang Palace as a noteworthy immortal sect.
But that is only because the existence of the Canglang Palace posed no threat to the Longevity Taoist Monarch, who subsequently ignored its presence. The then Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace, now Lord Canglang, even now does not dare to mention any past grievances.
Moreover, today this Canglang Palace is still an ordinary small immortal sect, several levels lower compared to its past status, and not even comparable to emerging True Martial Sect or the Heterodox Alliance.
Their slow development is undoubtedly due to suppression from some strong individuals and immortal sects.
Even if the Longevity Taoist Monarch does not regard the Canglang Palace as significant, some True Immortals and immortal sects do not hesitate to oppress it to curry favor with the Shenxiao Lineage.
Furthermore, the Shenxiao Lineage would not allow the Canglang Palace to continue developing; if not for their Ancestral Master's silence, they would indeed prefer to completely destroy the Canglang Palace.
On the cultivation path, there is absolutely no room for mercy; showing kindness to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.
In this Divine Land World, within the Realms of Heavenly Seas, countless sects have been destroyed and families have fallen, while a generation of Heaven's Proud rises from the abyss, slaying their enemy foes.
These legends indeed appear passionate and inspiring, marking the legendary experiences of every strong individual's rise.
But for some immortal sects and strong individuals, it undoubtedly reinforces their belief in eradicating opponents; no one wants to become a stepping stone on someone else's path to prominence, or a mere backdrop in someone else's mythical tale.
Currently, Wood Virtue Star Lord and Qingling Primordial Lord are just like this; now that they are mortal enemies, they are unwilling to give the other any chance to return.
"Qingling Primordial Lord underestimated the opponent, but the stronger you display yourself now, the less I can let you be." Wood Virtue Star Lord harbors a chilling intent to kill.
Especially Wood Virtue Star Lord, as he joined forces with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch against Qingling Primordial Lord. Even though he held back out of caution, the opponent lasted much longer than he expected.
Originally apprehensive about the Taoist Monarch behind the opponent, Wood Virtue Star Lord was unwilling to bear the stigma of colluding with the Witch Deity Teaching, hoping to spare a life.
But seeing the terrifying power and potential displayed by the opponent now, Wood Virtue Star Lord reconsidered whether he was being too complacent, for if the opponent gains the Taoist Monarch's support and rises again, it would be unfavorable for himself.
"The Five Old Lords are crucial to those Taoist Monarchs' plans, even if Qing Laojun is injured now, as long as his status remains, with the assistance of the other Old Lords and the Taoist Monarch, he is very likely to rise again." Wood Virtue Star Lord's eyes flashed with cold light, his killing intent surging.
At this moment, Wood Virtue Star Lord completely changed his prior thoughts, determining to uproot Qingling Primordial Lord, leaving no hidden danger.
With rising killing intent, his attacks naturally became more ferocious, no longer holding back, fiercely attacking Qingling Primordial Lord.
"Finally realizing the situation you are in, understanding that you cannot waver anymore." Ju Mang Ancestor Witch sensed the killing aura on Wood Virtue Star Lord and immediately understood that the other had finally made up his mind.
