In short, for Radiant Extinction Sacred Emperor, Absolute Pill Emperor, and the others...
If the Burial Emperor Rules won, they stood a very good chance of surviving.
If Sikong Jing won, they—the most core figures of Origin Universe—would undoubtedly die.
Their fists clenched and loosened, then clenched and loosened again...
Radiant Extinction Sacred Emperor was at a loss. He was still wondering whether, if Sikong Jing won, he could beg for a path to survival.
"Damn it, why didn't the Burial Emperor Rules take us along when it ran away?" Yin Zhihun could not help but curse wildly.
In truth...
The Burial Emperor Rules had not only lacked the time to take them along just now; it had also needed them to hold back a peak powerhouse like Mountain City Lord. Otherwise, the latter would have followed Sikong Jing and charged up with him.
He might even have brought Mountain and River Divine General, Mystic Jade Emperor, and other top-tier powerhouses along.
At last, a chilling gleam flashed wildly in Radiant Extinction Sacred Emperor's eyes as he made his final decision...
"Then we'll gamble everything on this..."
"Even if Sikong Jing can kill the Burial Emperor Rules and return, he'll most likely be grievously wounded and on the verge of death. Killing him then will be the same. We'll gamble..."
"That once the Burial Emperor Rules are slain, Sikong Jing will return severely wounded, and everything will become our wedding dress."
Since surrender meant certain death anyway, they might as well go all out.
"While Mountain City Lord is heavily injured, while Su Yuexi is still undergoing her tribulation, wipe out every living being in both great worlds."
"So that even if Sikong Jing returns, he will... have no troops to use."
As he spoke...
