That was right. Even if the God Devouring Body near-sage attacked Ling Tian and the others, they still had ways to deal with him. For instance, they could use a ripe Phoenix Soul Fruit as a bargaining chip. Otherwise, both sides could simply perish together. The near-sage would surely have to take that into consideration.
As long as they could buy a little more time—enough for Feng Lingzi and the Young Leader to break through to Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Peak or even the near-sage level, or for Ling Tian to reach Quasi-Saint Ninth Order High-grade or even Peak—then they would still have a chance to defeat the near-sage. Ling Tian's cultivation breakthroughs would greatly expand the scale of his Small World. In fact, his Small World was already growing, which meant he could affect and control a wider expanse of the surrounding universe. After merging with the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation, the attacks he could unleash would be far more powerful.
It made sense. Ling Tian's attacks were already strong enough to threaten Feng Lingzi and the Young Leader, and even kill them. Yet his cultivation was only barely at Quasi-Saint Ninth Order. If he broke through to Quasi-Saint Ninth Order High-grade or even Peak, then controlling the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation could pose a major threat to a near-sage. That would be possible even if the God Devouring Body near-sage was skilled in the Teleportation Secret Technique. Ling Tian knew that technique too, and he and the other Mo Family members had also mastered the Time Secret Technique. If they all used it together, they could hold the near-sage in place for an instant—more than enough time for Ling Tian to badly wound him, or even kill him.
It was precisely because they had thought
