"Then let's withdraw." Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor sighed inwardly. After withdrawing from the Creation Jade Disc, this was already his third failed attempt.
At least Heavenly Emperor Mingluo had been fighting Lu Xiaotian, a powerhouse of the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Even if he failed to capture him, the impact would not be too great. But Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor had been facing three juniors.
All three juniors were rare heroes, each holding a top-tier treasure. Working together, their strength was indeed formidable. These were objective factors.
But outsiders only saw that he could not even deal with three juniors. The damage to the Heavenly Emperor's prestige was unavoidable.
For many people, a loss of prestige was not a major problem. But for Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor—or an immortal lord bearing a title—a decline in fortune would inevitably affect the fusion of his aura with the Creation Jade Disc. It might even affect the cultivation method centered around the Creation Jade Disc.
Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor had originally been roughly equal to Heavenly Emperor Mingluo, but now his strength had clearly fallen a level below his.
Cultivation was like rowing against the current: if one did not advance, one retreated. This remained true even after reaching the Heavenly Emperor level.
Though unwilling, Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor did not want to drag things out any longer. He had gained no advantage from fighting this long, and staying would be utterly meaningless. Leaving now would still allow him to cut his losses in time. If he delayed any further and lost several immortal lords, his prestige would be swept to the ground.
"Go!" Once the two Heavenly Emperors reached a consensus, they acted at once.
At this moment, Yu Xuan Heavenly Emperor still held the upper hand in his clash with Dragonseal Hierarch
