After being hunted by experts from several elite teams, Chi Xue and the others had seen just how powerful some of the stronger factions in the God Realm were. There were many such factions, and each could field tens of thousands, even over a hundred thousand, Ninth Order experts. They had no confidence they could compete with them for the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree, especially since they would have to face the joint attacks of multiple factions after seizing it.
Of course, they still had a chance. For instance, if the major factions in the God Realm suffered heavy losses, or if their own strength increased substantially, they might be able to compete for the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree. If they made their move, they might even have a good chance of taking it.
"Heh, it's not impossible for the major factions in the God Realm to suffer heavy losses." Shi Lin let out a strange laugh. "There are quite a few factions in the God Realm whose strength far surpasses Ling Tian and the others. But dealing with them won't be easy. Over the years, Ling Tian and his people have steadily occupied the northern region of the God Realm and established many bases and temporary strongholds. Anyone who wants to seize the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree will have to get past them, and Ling Tian's group can use those bases to kill a great many cultivators. Especially since Ling Tian has mastered a technique that counters the Teleportation Secret Technique."
Before anyone could speak, he continued, "What's more, Ling Tian and his people have the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation. Heh, if nothing unexpected happens, the formation Ling Tian controls now is much more powerful than before. And as time goes on, it'll only grow stronger."
"Exactly.
