They planned to settle everything in one decisive battle. This time, Ling Tian and the others had mobilized nearly sixty percent of the major powers' forces: dozens, nearly a hundred, high-level God-grade Stone People, along with hundreds of thousands to a million Near-God experts. Their strength was unmatched. Under the cover of the high-level God-grade Stone People, everyone formed an Arrow Formation and unleashed powerful Impact Arrows—Explosive Impact Arrows. Beneath that rain of energy arrows, the pursuing God-grade Stone People were killed at a tremendous pace.
In just a few short years, Ling Tian and the others had slain every God-grade Stone Person pursuing them.
With no God-grade Stone People left on their heels, Ling Tian and the others could finally relax. They left the cleanup to Lu Yuan and the others, then settled in to drink and celebrate. After all, they had gone twenty thousand years without enjoying a proper drink.
As Ling Tian and the others drank and celebrated, Xiao Shi could only watch, drooling with envy. After all, he had already "sworn" to focus on comprehending the various Law Powers and stop slacking off.
Seeing Xiao Shi's covetous expression, everyone found it hilarious. In the end, Hua Min'er and the others couldn't bear to watch and allowed him to make an exception. Only then did he tuck in, devouring food with such gusto that everyone burst out laughing.
"Brother Ling, it's been so long now. That little God Devouring Body must have reached the Near-God level, right?" Tan Tai Chang Feng asked as he drank. His face was full of confusion. "By rights, Chi Xue should have devoured and refined him by now, greatly increasing his strength. He ought to have made some kind of move after that. Why has there been no sign of him lately?"
