"So we can't count on you to end the Dark Turmoil, because you're no match for the one on the far shore for now, and you have to wait for the perfect opportunity to kill him alone?"
Chen Yao readily understood the predicament facing Immortal Emperor Taicang, Emperor Bone Brother.
"Because he's recovered and retained more than you have, he has no shortcomings by comparison apart from being sealed. You have to wait for an opportunity to suppress him with a single strike of an Immortal Emperor's power and reverse everything before he breaks free of the seal. Otherwise, since he can pay a certain price to force his way out at any time, it would only be a road to death."
Immortal Emperor Taicang, Emperor Bone Brother, replied from inside the Rotten Wooden Box:
"Correct. That's why I can't act lightly, or even show myself lightly. Otherwise, he'll certainly detect traces of me. The fall of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is far too conspicuous on the River of Time. The moment I act, he'll sense it. Right now, I'm the only being capable of killing a Quasi-Immortal Emperor without a sound."
"Unless I can wipe them all out in one sweep on the Boundary Sea, there's no possibility of victory."
"What a pity. That strike I dealt myself back then wounded me terribly. Even though I can easily crush Quasi-Immortal Emperors now, I no longer have the mighty power to bury and annihilate all realms with a single blow... never mind a newly ascended Immortal Emperor, I'm only half a step stronger than I was before attempting my breakthrough."
