At this moment, the Torch Dragon and First Phoenix Heavenly Emperors appeared composed, yet their hearts grew ever more unsettled.
As supreme Heavenly Emperors who looked down upon chaos, they had stood in the Blazing Central Hundred Domains for countless years. They had originally thought that by following the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor to unify the northern and southern Heavenly Abyss, they might find an opportunity to break through and advance further.
Yet they had never expected the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor to harbor sinister intentions, nor that even the Sun Heavenly Emperor had been the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor's incarnation.
Their defection at the critical moment had not only been because they felt deeply deceived, but also because they feared the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor's Devouring Dao.
Since the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor had never honestly revealed from the beginning that the Sun Heavenly Emperor was his incarnation, they naturally did not dare believe his promises either.
Yet now that the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor had been driven back, the two Heavenly Emperors, Torch Dragon and First Phoenix, remained uneasy.
Chen Nianzhi had now stepped into the Heavenly Emperor realm and could even confront the Foreign-Realm Demon Emperor head-on. Recalling their many past hostilities, they found it difficult to calm their hearts.
Of course, given their strength, even if they could not defeat Chen Nianzhi, they could simply abandon their foundations in the Seven Domains of Southern Abyss and flee far into the Chaos Desolate Sea.
But if they did so, their bloodline descendants, and even the True Dragon and Immortal Phoenix lineages, would likely suffer grievous losses and withdraw completely from the stage of the Seven Domains of Southern Abyss.
Understanding this, both Heavenly Emperors felt gravity rise in their hearts.
"Two fellow Daoists."
At that moment, Chen Nianzhi slowly spoke from the side.
