Chapter 3821: Derivatives of the Powerhouse War

The Imperial War and the Supreme War were derivatives of the Powerhouse War. The Supreme War was a larger scale of the Imperial War. It was where outdated supreme-rank forces fought in order to cultivate Supreme Gods. It would be held in an independent realm created by a supreme powerhouse.

In the history of the Realms of Gods, there were only a few instances of the Supreme War, and each time, the outcome was tragic. Since it was a life-or-death fight, if no Supreme Gods emerged, they would have to continue fighting, resulting in great losses. Even if a Supreme God emerged, the cost was still too high. For this reason, very few supreme-rank forces would declare Supreme War on another supreme-rank force.

Needless to say, the Powerhouse War, the originator of the Imperial War and the Supreme War, was on the largest scale. It was where the war was fought to produce supreme powerhouses. The venue of the war was personally created by a supreme powerhouse, and a supreme powerhouse would also preside over it.

There were more Imperial Wars compared to Supreme Wars; there were more Supreme Wars compared to Powerhouse Wars. This was because there were more outdated emperor-rank forces compared to outdated supreme-rank forces, and there were more outdated supreme-rank forces compared to supreme-rank forces respectively.

…

In the main hall of the Tai Yi Sect.

“So all of you are willing to bet on the possibility of Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du leaving the Flying Dragon Sect to join a top emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion?” Luo Qi Zhan asked with a sneer.

The high-ranking officials, who were protesting, fell silent immediately. They were aware of how flimsy their excuse was. After all, with Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du’s talents, they could have easily joined a top emperor-rank Flying Dragon Sect; why did they join the Flying Dragon Sect instead? As the saying went, ‘It’s better to be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion’. Even then, the duo’s treatment would be very good even if they went to a top emperor-rank force due to their exceptional talents. This was especially true for Duan Ling Tian who was not even 3,000 years old. There had to be other reasons as well as to why they joined the Flying Dragon Sect.

Luo Qi Zhan said determinedly, “We’ve already decided to declare Imperial War on the Flying Dragon Sect so there’s no use in protesting. Our Tai Yi Sect has been slowly falling behind the Flying Dragon Sect. Moreover, the last time the Flying Dragon Sect had an Emperor of Gods was 20,000 years ago. When was the last time our sect had an Emperor of Gods? 50,000 years ago! The final Emperor of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect had emerged from an Imperial War. As for our Tai Yi Sect, we’re too cowardly to declare Imperial Wars, including the declarations from the Flying Dragon Sect, we’ve refused the Imperial Wars more than ten times.”

Luo Qi Zhan paused briefly before he continued to say, “Although Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du contributed greatly to our decision to declare Imperial War, they’re not the only reason. It’s also because it’s time for us to fight! You’ve all enjoyed the benefits of staying in the Tai Yi Sect; it’s now time for you to stand up and fight for the Tai Yi Sect. Think about it, once the war starts, Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du won’t be able to stay out of the war as well. Who knows if our younger disciples are able to kill those two? Even if they can’t, the war will still inevitably affect the duo’s progress and cultivation. In any case, our sect is on par with the Flying Dragon Sect. What are you afraid of? If an Emperor of Gods emerges in our sect from the Imperial War, think about the glory that will belong to you and your descendants! Your names will be engraved on the war monuments and will never be forgotten in the history of our sect!”

After Luo Qi Zhan finished his speech, silence hung in the air briefly. After a moment, the others broke out in an uproar, voicing their support.

“Supreme Elder Luo, I support declaring the Imperial War against the Flying Dragon Sect!”

“We can only grow stronger by fighting with all our might! There’s a high chance our sect will have an Emperor of Gods by the end of the war!”

“That’s right! Our supreme elders are all top advanced Lords of Gods and are close to breaking through! Even if only one of them manages to become an Emperor of Gods, the status and strength of our sect will rise greatly!”

The high-ranking officials’ morale was greatly boosted by Luo Qi Zhan’s words.

As for the few who remained unconvinced and strongly opposed the war, they only remained silent. After all, no matter what they said at this moment, it would not change the outcome. Not only that, but they might even anger the sect leader and Luo Qi Zhan. They could only comfort themselves inwardly and remind themselves to be careful during the war.

At this time, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect said resolutely, “Tomorrow, I’ll personally lead a group to the Flying Dragon Sect to declare Imperial War on them. Once they agree to it, we’ll be able to confirm a date with the top force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. If there’s nothing wrong, the war should start within three years!”

…

The next day, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect led a few people to the Flying Dragon Sect,

The high-ranking officials of the Flying Dragon Sect were also surprised that the Tai Yi Sect took the initiative to declare Imperial War on them. After all, they had been rejected thrice by the Tai Yi Sect previously. In their eyes, the Tai Yi Sect no longer had the backbone an emperor-rank force should have. To them, the Tai Yi Sect was the most suitable opponent.

After leading the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect and his entourage to their accommodations, the high-ranking officials of the Flying Dragon Sect gathered to discuss the matter. Needless to say, the Golden Dragon Elders that were on par with the Supreme Elders of the Tai Yi Sect were also present. They were the most likely to break through and become Emperors of Gods, after all.

In the past, the Flying Dragon Sect tried to declare Imperial War on the Tai Yi Sect multiple times because the Golden Dragon Elders were hoping to break through using the Imperial Wars. All of them hoped that the Flying Dragon Sect would be able to regain its former glory with the emergence of a new Emperor of Gods. After all, outdated emperor-rank forces could not compare to those emperor-rank forces with Emperors of Gods at all.

If the Flying Dragon Sect won the Imperial War against the Tai Yi Sect, the Tai Yi Sect would have to leave immediately. The emergence of a new Emperor of Gods meant that the Flying Dragon Sect would no longer be an outdated emperor-rank sect; as a result, their territory would expand as well. If the Tai Yi Sect refused to leave, the Flying Dragon Sect could legally annihilate the Tai Yi Sect.

“What do you think?” the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect asked.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming Zhi said cautiously, “Sect leader, I think we should take our time to consider this. Let’s investigate why they suddenly decided to initiate the Imperial War before we accept their challenge. The Tai Yi Sect was as timid as a mouse in the past. There must be a reason why they’re suddenly so bold. It’s likely they had hidden trump cards we don’t know about.”

Xue Ming Zhi was quite conservative so he was against accepting the Tai Yi Sect’s declaration of war.

However, most of the high-rank officials of the Flying Dragon Sect were eager to fight. Hence, even if Xue Ming Zhi was the vice sect leader, his words held very little weight at this moment.

Most importantly, the several Golden Dragon Elders had been hoping to become Emperors of Gods, which was why they had declared Imperial War multiple times in the past. Two of the Golden Dragon Elders were close to facing their Heavenly Tribulations so they were even more eager for a breakthrough. Otherwise, they would only have a few thousand years left to live. The Imperial War was the only few ways they could try to force a breakthrough.

At this moment, a Golden Dragon Elder looked at Xue Ming Zhi sternly and said, “Xue Ming Zhi, the Tai Yi Sect finally took the initiative to declare Imperial War. If the sect misses this opportunity because of you, I won’t let you go.”
