The current Heavenly Demon Palace Lord had fallen into precisely this awkward predicament.
When he had first entered the martial path, he had lacked sufficient talent or opportunity to enter the Dao through the Vast Desolation Divine Fist. Unable to soar to the heavens in a single step, he could only follow the orthodox Heavenly Demon path. Later, when his cultivation rose and his realm deepened, he turned back to deduce and cultivate the Vast Desolation Divine Fist, only to find that changing his foundation was already exceedingly difficult.
He could not possibly abandon the Heavenly Demon Great Dao he had cultivated for years and leave it untended, then turn to cultivate the Space-Time Great Dao and place the Vast Desolation Divine Fist wholly above his own martial path. That was absolutely not something a wise man would do.
Of course, there were exceptions to everything.
On the surface, the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord was using the first form of the Vast Desolation Divine Fist, the Fist That Bears the Dao, to disturb the Great Dao of Time within the Time Sand, thereby drawing out the Time Blade and then comprehending the Great Dao of Time.
But viewed from the other side, was he not also using the Time Dao Fruit carried within the Time Blade to enhance his understanding and cultivation of the Vast Desolation Divine Fist? Besides, the two had always complemented one another.
Although Zhu Shisan did not know much, he vaguely guessed that in this confrontation with the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord, he had ultimately come out inferior and allowed the other party to gain an enormous advantage.
But matters had already reached this point. There was no taking it back; he could only seize as many resources as possible in the actions to come.
