As Ling Tian and Chi Xue had suspected, another group of Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Ancient Divine Beasts had broken into the God Realm.

That would make them an even greater threat to Ling Tian and the others.
Ling Tian and the others could save quite a few Ninth Order Ancient Divine Beasts and have them cultivate the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash to greatly increase their strength. But even so, that was worlds apart from the gains the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators would make by fusing with them.

By contrast, after fusing with a Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Ancient Divine Beast, an Outer Realm Demon Race cultivator could advance by at least two minor realms. Some might even reach the same realm as Feng Ying and Feng Lingzi. The Ancient Divine Beasts who cultivated the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash simply could not compare.
