Chapter 1586: The Three Levels At The Top (1/2)

The Peac.o.c.k Bright Monarch had never seen an Immortal Emperor before but she could imagine their wondrous strength. Just think about it, these were the existences who won after battling the entire nine worlds. They were matchless during their own generation.

Matriarch Yu’s strength was indeed enough to walk proudly across the nine worlds. The monarch eventually calmed down and said: “Then what about Senior Yu?” She glanced back at the pub after saying this.

Li Qiye said that Zhengfeng was much stronger than Matriarch Yu.

“Zhengfeng.” Li Qiye said: “If we were to separate the levels, he is considered an Emperor Contender.”

“Emperor Contender? What's the differentiation?” She was puzzled.

“You think there are only Emperor a.s.sailants around? Ordinary people can only make contact with this level. The truth is that the real powerful beings at the top can be divided into three levels. They consist of top G.o.dkings and Emperor Candidates in the following order: a.s.sailant, Contender, Rival.”  He chuckled after clarifying.

The world only talked about a.s.sailants. In the eyes of cultivators, a.s.sailants were the strongest below Immortal Emperors.

This wasn’t the case. People at this level understood that there were dividers with great disparities.

Because of this, the existences further cla.s.sified themselves into the three levels.

“What’s a contender?” She asked.

Whenever people talked about Emperor a.s.sailants, they were full of reverence. In fact, being exposed to characters of this level alone was already amazing and worthy of pride. On the other hand, she rarely heard about contenders so she had no understanding of this concept.

“Very simple, if you can last one thousand moves against an emperor using the power of the Heaven’s Will, then you’re a contender. Of course, there’s another standard. If you can survive against a true Imperial Ma.s.sacre, then you’re also a contender regardless of whether you used your own power or relied on a treasure.” Li Qiye said flatly.

If an emperor was already invincible? Just how powerful would they be with the Heaven’s Will? She wasn’t aware of the latter but knew just how impressive it was to last one thousand moves under these conditions.

“It still counts when you use a treasure to survive the true ma.s.sacre?” She had to ask.

“It’s not that easy. You think you don’t need strength just because of some treasures?” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “You think the Heaven’s Will is a joke? If you’re not strong enough, the treasures won’t do. Even if the treasures can survive the blow, just the impact and shockwave alone could render you to a mist of blood. Only top existences could actually resist this.”

“Excuse my short-sightedness.” The monarch felt that she had underestimated the power of the Heaven’s Will.

“It’s not surprising because you haven’t seen the Heaven’s Will yet. Even if you do, you won’t think much of it, not until it truly erupts. That’s when you’ll come to realize how frightening it is. It’s the condensation of the energy and essence of an entire generation!” Li Qiye smiled and said.

She finally had a clear concept about an Emperor Contender.
