The World Boundary of the Azure World rippled as five figures radiating tyrannical auras appeared in the Void Sea Realm.
Any entity capable of entering the Void Sea Realm was undeniably a ceiling-tier combatant within their own world, and those who could linger there for extended periods were the strongest among the strong.
The five figures that now appeared were precisely the five Dao Lords newly decreed by the Supreme God-Emperor.
These five newly promoted Dao Lords had already lingered at the Mortal Realm Ninth Layer for an unknown number of millennia. The Heavenly Dao of the Azure World had abandoned its suppression upon them, granting them the corresponding permissions to break through to the Dao Lord realm at any moment.
After appearing, they did not display the arrogance and haughtiness of the previous five individuals; instead, they gathered before the World Boundary with a profound tacit understanding.
"Congratulations on attaining the Buddha Dao Fruit," the man clad in a black dragon-patterned mountains-and-rivers robe said with a cupped-fist bow and a courteous tone.
"Ha-ha! My congratulations as well to the Great King for achieving what he desired," the big monk in white monastic robes returned the courtesy.
Three more individuals arrived in succession after that.
Following a brief exchange of pleasantries with one another, the monarch of the three generations of the Yan State immediately cut to the chase and said, "In the face of this battle, do you gentlemen have any brilliant insights?"
The white-robed monk said, "We cannot passively accept battle. Their method of pairing up will cause us to encounter attribute counters in combat."
The monarch of the three generations of the Yan State nodded and said, "Indeed! We should not passively select our combat targets, and furthermore, we must be careful of that unknown Dao Lord."
