With Ling Tian and Xiao Shi's strength, it would be easy for them to kill Shi Lin, Po Di, and the others. That would still be true even if those people took Phoenix Soul Fruits, underwent nirvana rebirth, and then cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique. After all, their cultivation levels were far below Chi Xue and Po Tian's, and even after taking Phoenix Soul Fruits and cultivating the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, they might not reach Xiao Shi and Ling Tian's level. Their strength would fall even further short. Ling Tian and the others had been able to kill Po Di and the rest across cultivation levels long ago, and Ling Tian might even be able to set up the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation in that space.
That made sense. Once the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation was set up, not just Po Di and Shi Lin, but even Chi Xue and Po Tian might be killed—especially if Ling Tian and Xiao Shi joined forces.
However, the Lord of the Universe most likely wouldn't want to see things turn out that way. So, during the next mission, he might deliberately protect Po Di and the others. In other words, they could only be eliminated, not killed, just like in all those previous missions.
At that, everyone nodded. Fairy Lei Ying said, "That's true. Po Di and the others still have some value, especially Shi Lin and the other God Devouring Bodies. At the very least, they still have a chance to become candidate seeds, so the Lord of the Universe won't let Ling Tian and Xiao Shi kill them easily—especially when you have such a good chance of doing so. That makes it even less likely. So the Lord of the Universe will deliberately protect them,
