Loggerheads
The Third Heaven had been in an odd state for the past several years. As the opening of Heaven's Path approached, the tension only seemed to slowly grow and the era of peace that had come before it was slowly being chipped away at, piece by piece.
Among these groups, the usual suspects were at loggerheads.
The Sentient Sword Sect and the Demonic Flame Sect were first two. Both were True Three Star Sect behemoths were dozens of Fragmented Sky Gods, over ten False Sky Gods, a mighty True Sky God overseeing their territories.
For as long as the people of the Third Heaven could remember, these two behemoths had been practically mortal enemies, one claiming to be righteous and the other claiming them to be hypocrites. This was a war seemingly without end precisely because of the strength of both parties, but in recent years, it had been fairly quiet.
