"These two individuals are the most supreme existences right below the Supreme," the Supreme of the Dao Realm said. "Who wins and who loses is not even certain for the Supreme. What Sword Immortal needs to do is give it his all. If he is defeated by Laozi, it will be a great blow to All Heavens."
The other Supremes knew this as well.
This battle, though seemingly simple, actually concerned the destiny of All Heavens and had to be approached with caution!
Many gazes in the Vast Wilderness were fixed upon that particular platform.
"Fellow Daoist Laozi has been concealing his brilliance and is extremely powerful. If it were not for some of us taking shortcuts, Fellow Daoist Laozi would have likely attained Dao ahead of us," Houtu said.
"Sword Immortal of the Heavens is also not weak. He is only a step away from becoming a Supreme, but achieving Dao in the Vast Wilderness is much more difficult than in the Heavens," Nu Wa stated, standing beside Houtu.
