The battle in the Fourth Heaven ended with the Battle Heaven Pavilion winning all three battles.
Sun Yuan returned laden with spoils of war.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans were suffering terribly.
This battle resulted in the loss of several Primordial Realm cultivators.
While sacrificing a large amount of cultivation resources.
They were also responsible for building a sect for the Battle Heaven Pavilion in the Fourth Heaven.
Especially this last point.
That was like a huge slap in the face of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
In the Nine Heavens today, everyone knows about the feud between the Eight Great Imperial Clans and the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Now, the Eight Great Imperial Clans are going to personally build a sect for the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
This kind of slap in the face is extremely painful.
Meanwhile, in the Lei Clan's sacred land in the First Heaven.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors have already seen what happened in the Fourth Heaven through the Mystic Light Mirror.
After seeing Sun Yuan leave so gracefully.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors did not look too pleased.
"This time, Battle Heaven Pavilion has once again stolen the limelight, and our Eight Great Imperial Clans have truly lost face."
"Furthermore, Lin Heng's strength this time is clearly more terrifying than it was at the ancient ruins."
"Leaving Lin Heng behind still feels too dangerous to me."
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor spoke with a grim face.
Other Saint Emperor also expressed their opinions on this matter.
" Lin Heng's terrifying talent poses an increasing threat to us as his strength grows; we should eliminate him as soon as possible."
"In my opinion, we don't need to wait until the five-year agreement. Let's make our move against Lin Heng and his Battle Heaven Pavilion tonight."
"I think it's feasible. Battle Heaven Pavilion just won a victory at the Fourth Heaven, so they're probably relaxed now. If we launch a surprise attack, they won't have time to prepare."
However, Huo Li Fire Separation Saint Emperor, who has always harbored the greatest hatred for the Battle Heaven Pavilion, raised an objection at this moment.
"Now is not the right time to take action."
"Firstly, the Ascenders are always watching our movements. If we act rashly, do Ascenders won't react?"
"Secondly, Battle Heaven Pavilion just had a conflict with us. If we make a move now, the entire Nine Heavens will know that it was our doing."
As soon as the Fire Separation Saint Emperor finished speaking, someone immediately raised a question.
Even if you knew, so what?
"As long as we can destroy the Battle Heaven Pavilion, who would dare to mention it in front of the Eight Great Imperial Clans?"
"As for the Ascenders, if we act quickly, they might not be able to react in time."
This statement garnered considerable support from the Saint Emperor.
The potential pressure brought by Lin Heng was too great, and it made these usually arrogant Saint Emperor somewhat flustered.
Fire Separation Saint Emperor retorted once again.
"But what if we fail to eliminate Lin Heng and Battle Heaven Pavilion, and are stopped by the Ascenders?"
"In the past two or three years, due to the strength of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, many sects that belonged to us have defected to the Battle Heaven Pavilion."
"If we fail again this time, not only will we give others ammunition to criticize us and damage the reputation of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, but it might also lead to more sects defecting."
"The most crucial point is that you all seem to have forgotten one thing, something Ao Zhantian once said."
After Fire Separation Saint Emperor's reminder, the other Saint Emperor also realized what was going on.
If the sneak attack succeeds, killing Lin Heng and destroying Battle Heaven Pavilion, then all will be over.
But what if it fails...
In particular, Ao Zhantian had stated firmly that those Ascenders must do everything in their power to protect Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Even for the sake of Lin Heng and Battle Heaven Pavilion, the Ascenders, who had always been reluctant to provoke a major war, changed their previous concessions and became very assertive.
When Ao Zhantian said those words, anyone could tell that he wasn't just saying it casually.
If they were to actually Battle Heaven Pavilion this time, and were intercepted by the Ascenders, it might trigger a full-scale war between the two sides.
The Ascenders were unwilling to accept this situation, but the Eight Great Imperial Clans were even more unwilling.
The reason is simple.
The bloodlines of the Eight Great Imperial Clans are becoming weaker with each generation.
With these strong individuals already in the picture, cultivating another batch will not be easy.
The Ascenders are different; although their innate conditions are inferior to those of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
Its advantage lies in its massive population.
Even if it's only one in ten million.
But how many lower worlds are there?
The population is simply incalculable.
If a full-scale war were to break out.
Once the strongest figures on both sides have fallen.
It will likely be difficult for the Eight Great Imperial Clans to recover their strength.
But those Ascenders will likely be able to recreate their current glory in just a few billion more years.
This is also what the Eight Great Imperial Clans are most worried about.
The topic of a full-scale war has come up.
The other Saint Emperor fell silent.
Finally, it was the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor who raised his eyes, swept across the entire arena, and broke the silence with his words.
" The Fire Separation Saint Emperor is right."
"Since Ao Zhantian has already represented the Ascenders in expressing their determination to protect Lin Heng and Battle Heaven Pavilion."
"Then there's no need for us to break ties with them at this time."
"There are still two years left until our agreement with Lin Heng is fulfilled."
"At that time, all we need to do is defeat Lin Heng head-on in the Third Heaven and kill him."
"Without Lin Heng, Battle Heaven Pavilion is like a piece of easy prey. Why should we worry about not being able to make up for our losses?"
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's decision was also supported by the other seven Saint Emperor.
After all, if Lin Heng is defeated head-on, then the Ascenders has nothing to say.
Two years is but a blink of an eye for them.
Two years?
How much more can Lin Heng grow?
Even if you give him a time-manipulating artifact a million times faster, it would still only take two million years.
At best, it can be raised to the Heavenly Firmament Realm.
But with this level of strength, the Eight Great Imperial Clans are still confident they can annihilate them.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans were having a meeting.
Sun Yuan also returned to the Battle Heaven Pavilion with his spoils.
Sun Yuan handed over all the resources to Situ Jiannan.
Subsequently, the senior members of the Battle Heaven Pavilion also gathered in the main hall.
This time, Lin Heng attended with only a wisp of his attention.
He himself is still in seclusion and has not come in person.
The members of the Battle Heaven Pavilion sat inside the main hall.
After sharing the joy of today's victory in the Fourth Heaven.
Lin Heng then spoke.
"This resounding victory is just the beginning."
"Our true battle against the Eight Great Imperial Clans is coming soon."
Everyone turned to look at Lin Heng.
Sun Yuan and the others all knew that Lin Heng was referring to the battle for establishing a foothold in the Third Heaven two years later.
The Battle Heaven Pavilion understood that the Eight Great Imperial Clans ' constant forbearance was definitely for the day when they could ascend to the Third Heaven.
Liu Ling'er then asked:
" Heng'er, are you confident that you can reach the Third Heaven in two years?"
Liu Ling'er was very worried about the Battle Heaven Pavilion's leapfrog development, going directly from the Seventh Heaven to the Third Heaven.
Especially after hearing Sun Yuan talk about the combat power of the Eight Great Imperial Clans of the Fourth Heaven.
Each of the Fourth Heaven has powerful beings who are no weaker than the Heavenly Firmament.
What about the Third Heaven?
Without a doubt.
At that time, Lin Heng will face enemies who are at least at the Heavenly Firmament Realm.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans were fighting against the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
They might even send out experts who surpass the Third Heaven.
How could Liu Ling'er not be worried?
In response to Liu Ling'er's question, Lin Heng smiled slightly and gave her a reassuring look.
"Mother, please rest assured, I have confidence."
"Three years later, when the Battle Heaven Pavilion steps into the Third Heaven..."
"I will show everyone in the Third Heaven how I'm going to sweep through them."
"The rise of our Battle Heaven Pavilion is unstoppable!"
