Chapter 1608 -s 1556-1557: Troubles Gradually Arise, Ripples in Brocade Clothing
In a world beyond the ordinary, mighty power belongs to oneself, one’s own formidable strength can indeed achieve feats such as moving mountains and altering seas, transforming the heavens and the earth, shattering the existing situation, and deciding the ultimate victory or defeat.
However, this is built on the premise of an irreparable gap between the two parties, like the existence of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, who holds such a vast gap even between him and the strongest True Immortal Taoist Monarch that his very existence can determine the outcome of everything.
A Supreme Strong like Wan Fayi, placed in an ordinary world, could easily dominate an entire realm, and decide the rise and fall of a world.
And yet, this Myriad Laws Realm is different. This trial of the Myriad Laws Realm is a gathering of the eminent; any Cultivator who dares to enter the trial of the Myriad Laws Realm, which one of them is not a Heaven’s Proud figure, an object of countless people’s admiration, a legend in their own right.
These individuals enter the Myriad Laws Realm, and although there are stark strengths and weaknesses amongst them, strong enough to crush each other, there isn’t one who can single-handedly dominate all.
Or, to put it another way, the most top-notch of strong ones are never alone; there are many of them whose power is comparable to each other, and without a true clash, none has enough certainty to believe that they will undoubtedly win.
This is inevitable; even though there are tiers of strength within the trial, as the initiator, Pei Xuanjing also needs to ensure that the trial is full of suspense, that the ultimate victory or defeat is unknown, and it isn’t permissible for there to be someone who can overwhelmingly dominate like himself - if so, the trial would lose its original meaning.
Such is the contention between individuals, not to mention when it evolves into conflicts between groups?
If individual strife is under consideration, Wan Fayi still has sufficient confidence; he is sure of his own combat power and believes he can defeat any opponent he encounters.
But if the opponent is not one person but many, then even Wan Fayi dares not say he has that much assurance.
It’s tough to fend off multiple attackers with just two fists. Even if he commands the All Laws Return to One and masters various Divine Abilities, and isn’t afraid of being besieged, that’s when the opponents are few.
And now, considering how many strong ones from various factions have entered, just the strong ones from the Shenxiao Lineage from all sides add up to more than ten thousand, and adding in the other factions, the number of strong ones in this Myriad Laws Realm trial exceeds ten million without exaggeration.
Under such circumstances, to put it bluntly, if a true melee breaks out between all parties in the end, it could indeed turn into large-scale battles with thousands or tens of thousands of people. In such a chaotic battle, even someone as strong as him would not dare to assert that he has a guaranteed chance of victory.
