It was all thanks to Xu Yi feeding them without regard for the cost. He had even rewarded the little wolfdog with several cyan cores. Though the little wolfdog had yet to advance, its intelligence had grown considerably. It understood his intentions perfectly and immediately set to work, leading a band of super-engineers.
Xu Yi fought the enemy in the sky to buy the little wolfdog and the others time.
As for gathering his sword lights into a shield at the end and taking that blow head-on, he had been counting on the combined force of Xie Yuehai, Divine Lord Huan Zhen, and You Yue Divine Lord to smash him into the ground.

He had been right to have the little wolfdog lead the mutated beasts in digging tunnels. That move could not have been more correct.
In a situation like this, even if he ordered the little wolfdog to lead the beast tide in an attack, the three Third Realm Human Immortal powerhouses, each wielding a White Grade Divine Weapon, would still have been more than capable of beheading him with ease amid the chaos.
