Chapter 1468 -s 1416—1417: Things Hurt Their Kind, When the Rabbit Dies the Fox Grieves
While these Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors lamented the formidable strength of the Ancient Sun Emperor and the profound foundation of the Heavenly Court, Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s gaze turned toward the direction of the Sun Divine Palace, and a complicated, indescribable emotion arose in his heart, for he knew.
The Ancient Sun Emperor was doomed to die today!
Since the Heavenly Court had already made its move, the Ancient Sun Emperor was bound to die, without any chance of survival.
Even though there was no clue to prove Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s speculation, nor any reason to explain it, a clear premonition had emerged in his heart—that the Ancient Sun Emperor was doomed to die today.
The reason was simple, since the Heavenly Court had taken action, and as this was their first move against a Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor, then the opponent was sure to die, leaving no room for oversight.
No matter whether this action was a private scheme of those Star Lords or supported by the True Immortals from behind the scenes of the Heavenly Court, once this matter was exposed, it already represented the will of the Heavenly Court and the stance of the Divine Land World.
The Ancient Sun Emperor now faced not only those few Star Lords but also the True Immortals behind them and the Heavenly Court they represented, and even the entire Divine Land World.
Since the Divine Land World and the Heavenly Court wished to accommodate their world, they needed to demonstrate their strength and establish their invincible prestige. Should they not have engaged, it would have been fine, but having entered the fray, they absolutely could not afford to lose. If they were defeated by the Ancient Sun Emperor, it would not only be the failure of those few Star Lords, but it would also affect the prestige of both the Heavenly Court and the Divine Land World.
Therefore, they absolutely did not permit failure, and since the powerful beings of the Heavenly Court could not afford to fail, the only one who could bear the burden of failure was the Ancient Sun Emperor.
The True Immortals of the Heavenly Court had the right to claim they did not wish to fail, as well as the power to ensure they did not. However, faced with such opponents, the Ancient Sun Emperor was simply unable to contend.
