After Chi Xue and the other God Devouring Bodies, along with Wu Ling and the others, had all arrived to provide support, the two sides fell into a stalemate. This meant that Chi Xue's side could no longer destroy Ling Tian's Teleportation Formations, while Feng Lingzi and the others could no longer set up new ones. However, Venerable Sword Saint was leading Po Di and the others in suppressing Ling Tian, then seizing opportunities to destroy his Teleportation Formations. They were doing so with fairly good efficiency, and the number of Ling Tian's formations continued to dwindle. This greatly encouraged Shi Meng and the others. In their minds, they still had a chance to destroy every last one of Ling Tian's Teleportation Formations. If they succeeded, Venerable Sword Saint would naturally be able to kill Ling Tian.
