Chapter 1575 -s 1522-1523: A Sneak Attack? _2
Take Wan Fayi for example, his strength had reached a limit at the Supreme Strong level, and he was only a step away from the true combat power of a True Immortal. However, after arriving in the Myriad Laws Realm and attempting to ascend again, even he was by no means invincible.
Even when facing other Supreme Overlords one-on-one, he feared no one; but faced with several, or even a dozen, let alone several dozen Supreme Overlords joining forces against him, he would have no choice but to bitterly accept defeat.
At other times, for someone at his level of strength, even if others were to collaborate in an attempt to kill him, relying on his sharp perceptive abilities, he would have ample opportunity to escape.
However, now within the Myriad Laws Realm, it was entirely different. Their strengths were suppressed, their extraordinary powers and perceptions could only reach within a thousand li, a brief distance that was trivial for Supreme Strong overlord. Once entrapped within a siege, escape was impossible.
"Such an outcome, even if I were to defeat my opponents, if I ultimately couldn’t survive, there would be no meaning at all," thought Wan Fayi as he contemplated the terrifying scene of being besieged by ten or even several dozen Supreme Overlords.
No matter how gruesomely he died or how many opponents he slew, if he couldn’t even get past the first round, it would mean he was completely out of the running for the position of Sect Leader.
Even though Wan Fayi himself wasn’t that eager for the position of Sect Leader, he had many supporters behind him who held great expectations for him.
More importantly, Wan Fayi had been guided by the Longevity Daoist Monarch, and his reputation was well-known throughout the Shenxiao Sect and even the Divine Land World. If he were to be eliminated in the first round, no matter the reason, it would be a tremendous loss of face—he couldn’t afford to be disgraced like that.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Wan Fayi’s brows furrowed, and he looked northwest, where there was a loud boom that echoed across the sky, triggering waves of terror in all directions.
"Has someone started fighting already?" he murmured to himself.
He had not expected that in such a short time after entering, when everyone should still be scouting out the environment, someone would be so impatient to initiate combat, whether it was a proactive assault or out of necessity from an unforeseen encounter.
