The elders of the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace looked at each other, their hearts filled with dread. They knew that if they didn't stop Bai Tianming, the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace would be doomed.
"Bai Tianming, you've gone too far! The Reverse Fate Immortal Palace has never been your enemy. Why are you so determined to destroy us?" Realm Lord Dao One shouted, his face darkening.
Bai Tianming looked at Realm Lord Dao One and said, "Dao One, you're right. The Reverse Fate Immortal Palace has never been my enemy. But the Heavenly Mandate Palace was destroyed by the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, and you did nothing to stop it. Now, I want to destroy the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, and you want to stop me. Isn't this unfair?"
"You... you're impossible to reason with!" Realm Lord Dao One was furious. He knew that Bai Tianming was using the Heavenly Mandate Palace's destruction as an excuse to vent his anger.
"Dao One, you're right. I'm impossible to reason with. Today, I'll destroy the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, and if you want to stop me, you can try!" Bai Tianming said, his voice cold.
"Bai Tianming, you're seeking your own doom!" Realm Lord Dao One said, his face darkening. He knew that if he didn't stop Bai Tianming, the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace would be destroyed, and the Eight Great Immortal Clans would suffer a great loss.
"Dao One, you're right. I'm seeking my own doom. But I don't care. I'll destroy the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, and if you want to stop me, you can try!" Bai Tianming said, his voice filled with determination.
"Dao One, you can't stop him. He's already a Transcendent. Even if you join forces with the Eight Great Immortal Clans, you might not be able to stop him," a voice suddenly rang out. It was none other than the Heavenly Calculation Supreme, who had been silent all this time.
"What do you mean, Heavenly Calculation Supreme?" Realm Lord Dao One asked, his face darkening.
Heavenly Calculation Supreme looked at Realm Lord Dao One and said, "Dao One, you should know that Bai Tianming has already fused his War Body with his Immortal Body and Heavenly Mandate Battle Soul. Now, he's a Transcendent. Even if you join forces with the Eight Great Immortal Clans, you might not be able to stop him. Moreover, if you join forces with the Eight Great Immortal Clans, it will only cause more casualties. Why not let Bai Tianming vent his anger and destroy the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace? This way, the Eight Great Immortal Clans won't suffer any losses."
"What do you mean, Heavenly Calculation Supreme? Are you suggesting that we let Bai Tianming destroy the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace?" Realm Lord Dao One asked, his face darkening.
Heavenly Calculation Supreme nodded and said, "That's right, Dao One. This is the best solution. Moreover, after destroying the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, Bai Tianming will have vented his anger and won't cause any more trouble. The Eight Great Immortal Clans can then focus on developing their own clans."
Realm Lord Dao One's face darkened as he considered Heavenly Calculation Supreme's words. He knew that Heavenly Calculation Supreme was right. If he joined forces with the Eight Great Immortal Clans to stop Bai Tianming, it would only cause more casualties. Moreover, after destroying the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, Bai Tianming would have vented his anger and wouldn't cause any more trouble.
"Dao One, you can't do this! The Reverse Fate Immortal Palace is one of the Eight Great Immortal Clans. You can't just let Bai Tianming destroy it!" Dustless Supreme shouted, his face darkening.
"Dao One, Heavenly Calculation Supreme is right. This is the best solution. We can't let Bai Tianming destroy the Eight Great Immortal Clans. Moreover, after destroying the Reverse Fate Immortal Palace, Bai Tianming will have vented his anger and won't cause any more trouble," Thunder Emperor Supreme said, his face darkening.
