As long as the Heavenly Poison Great Emperor could create an environment filled with his Corrosion Poison, then as one side waned while the other waxed, his true combat strength could vaguely break through a minor realm.
Otherwise, how could the Sky Origin Ancestor have been willing to form an alliance with him back then?
If he truly did not have the slightest bit of substance, the Sky Origin Ancestor would never have suddenly done something so foolish.
"When you break through to the Great Emperor Realm one day, you will naturally have a place in next year's Great Emperor Battle.
"Otherwise, you can only stand by and stare helplessly, just like today.
"The Great Emperor Battle—what use is coming if one has not broken through to the Great Emperor Realm?"
The Azure Emperor's few unhurried words easily persuaded the Heavenly Poison Great Emperor at this moment.
After all, what the Azure Emperor said made a certain amount of sense.
In the world today, Great Emperor Realm experts were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Added together, they might not even exceed the number of fingers on one hand.
Yet there were quite a few at the Half-step Great Emperor Realm. In any Great Emperor Realm faction alone, the First Hall Master of the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty was already faintly on the verge of breaking through to this level. On the Sky Phoenix Dynasty's side, there were Feng Jiuqing and Feng Liuxing. Among the overseas Merman Clan, their Patriarch had always been at the Half-step Great Emperor Realm. Added to that were the Heavenly Yao Emperor, Golden Face, and Silver Face, whose strength had never been low.
That alone was enough to raise the worth of Half-step Great Emperor Realm forces by an entire tier with ease.
