Most of the cultivators pursuing Hua Min'er were running low on vitality. Some could die of old age at any moment, and they had little confidence in their own strength. At the very least, none of them was sure they could withstand the final tribulation and break free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints. That was why they had attacked Hua Min'er: if they captured her, they could trade her to Ling Tian for a Phoenix Soul Fruit, or even the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree.
They were also using these threats to intimidate Po Di and the others. Since they were going to die anyway, they had nothing to lose by taking a gamble. They hoped to force Po Di and the others to leave—and abandon Hua Min'er in the process.
But Po Di noticed something just then. He chuckled and bluntly told them that they could still have a chance to survive, and perhaps even break free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints, without obtaining a Phoenix Soul Fruit or the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree.
The leader of the pursuers brightened at this. "We can do all that without a Phoenix Soul Fruit? That can't be possible."
As he spoke, his hand continued moving behind his back. Clearly, he was still giving orders to his men. After receiving them, the pursuers kept moving. Having surrounded the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and the Buddha Kingdom World, they began setting up another formation. Strangely, as they formed their seals, the formation melded into the void. It didn't cause the God Realm to shake and collapse into nothingness before dispersing.
Po Di and the others saw this, of course, but they weren't particularly worried. They didn't believe any formation could be stronger than the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination
