Po Di and the others were eliminated one after another. In the end, even the Jade Devouring Sky Python, the Heaven-Devouring Hou, and Shi Lin, along with the other God Devouring Bodies, were eliminated. After Chi Xue also chose to give up, only Venerable Sword Saint remained. He knew that by now he had no chance of killing Ling Tian and Xiao Shi. Continuing would not only waste time but could also leave him seriously injured, which would greatly hinder his plans. With that in mind, Venerable Sword Saint decisively chose to give up as well.
Venerable Sword Saint's decision to stop doing the task undoubtedly meant that Ling Tian and Xiao Shi had completed the task assigned to them by the Lord of the Universe.
As soon as Venerable Sword Saint gave up, Po Qiong's voice rang out in Ling Tian and the others' minds. "Haha, Venerable Sword Saint gave up the task outright. That means you've completed it! Wonderful, just wonderful! You no longer need to worry about being killed by Venerable Sword Saint. After this, the gap between his strength and yours will only grow smaller. He can't do anything to you now, much less in the future."
Indeed, Venerable Sword Saint's Bloodline Power had begun to decline, so his cultivation would scarcely improve from here on. Ling Tian and the others, on the other hand, would continue to grow stronger. Even if Venerable Sword Saint's Bloodline Power had not begun to decline, he still could not match Ling Tian and Xiao Shi's rate of improvement. In other words, the gap between Venerable Sword Saint's cultivation and theirs would keep shrinking. He could not deal with Ling Tian and Xiao Shi now, much less in the future.
No wonder Po Qiong was so excited at the thought.
