Polar Star Monarch was indeed not afraid, he genuinely did not know how to respond to Gao Xuan.
In front of numerous cultivators from all over the world, he righteously declared that he would slay demons and eliminate evil, yet the earth-shattering strike was effortlessly shattered by Gao Xuan.
This was too humiliating.
Polar Star Monarch felt both ashamed and annoyed; as a wise being, his emotions were a hundred times more intense than those of ordinary cultivators. But he controlled himself well, not losing composure on the spot.
He exchanged a glance with Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, whose eyes were quite calm. Ten Suffering Bodhisattva used Divine Thought to communicate with Polar Star Monarch: "We have no retreat."
This statement awakened Polar Star Monarch.
Indeed, Gao Xuan could casually kill hundreds of Demon Emperors for cultivation. He and Ten Suffering Bodhisattva publicly accused Gao Xuan in front of the world's cultivators, thoroughly offending him.
