I looked out at the front yard and thought about my past life.

Were these so-called Emperors all taken down one by one in my previous life? Since Baekdo is at its strongest when united, the current martial world revolves around the Murim Alliance. But when the Emperors fight among themselves or compete with Im Sobaek, Baekdo isn’t all that formidable.

When emotional fights turn into battles of pride, the Emperors don’t support each other either.

Back when I was known as the Mad Demon, Baekdo was being defeated piecemeal, yet Im Sobaek led the Murim Alliance and put up a good fight.

Then—?

How this Emperor’s Martial Tournament ends might determine whether Baekdo preserves its strength or breaks into pieces.

In truth, if these people were the kind to easily swallow their pride, they wouldn’t have been called Emperors to begin with.
