Some of Chi Xue's people had yet to break through to the sixth quasi-sage stage as God Devouring Bodies. After fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts that had originally been at the peak of the fifth quasi-sage stage, they would surely break through to the sixth. That would quickly bolster the strength of their alliance as a whole. Most God Devouring Bodies who reached the sixth stage after fusing with powerful Ancient Divine Beasts could kill Heavenly Slaves at the peak of the sixth stage. In other words, once they broke through, they would be able to unleash their true strength.
For that reason alone, letting the God Devouring Bodies break through to the sixth quasi-sage stage first was better than having those super experts capture sixth-stage quasi-sage demon dragons. Even if the latter grew much stronger than God Devouring Bodies like Shi Lin after fusing with powerful Ancient Divine Beasts, that was useless in the short term. Those super experts wouldn't dare attack the Heavenly Slaves right away, so they would still be limited to the peak of the fifth quasi-sage stage.
What's more, having a few more super experts in their ranks who could unleash their true strength without restraint would undoubtedly make dealing with the demon dragons easier. That was exactly why Chi Xue and the others planned to capture some demon dragons at the peak of the fifth quasi-sage stage first. It was why they had chosen to target dragons of that level.
Although demon dragons had strong defenses and movement techniques, and could even control the Circulatory Universe, that dragon was only at the peak of the fifth quasi-sage stage. Chi Xue and the others were far higher in cultivation, and more than a dozen experts, along with their other elite fighters, attacked as well. It
