Although, in the hearts of Shi Ling and the others, the grand formation Ling Tian had set up could prevent him from being weakened by having his Origin Power forcibly plundered, Shi Wei and the others could control their formation to absorb Divine Yuan Power from the outside world, making it grow more and more powerful. It might take a long time, but in the end, they would surely be able to crush Ling Tian's Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and Buddha Kingdom World. Ling Tian, trapped inside the formations, would naturally be in dire straits—and might even perish.
Most importantly, Ling Tian's earlier attacks had failed to break through the grand formation Shi Wei and the others had set up. As the formation outside grew stronger and stronger, destroying it would only become more difficult. And if Ling Tian couldn't break through it, he naturally couldn't escape; he would still be facing death.
In short, Shi Ling and the others believed Ling Tian was trapped. He would surely give in and agree to their terms, especially since they had already made concessions.
What puzzled and astounded Shi Ling and the others, however, was that Ling Tian flatly refused. What's more, he spoke in an even tone, without the slightest hint of worry.
"You—you really think we wouldn't dare kill you?!" Shi Lei said coldly. Then, as a thought occurred to him, his tone shifted and he sneered. "Could it be that you're planning to burn your Origin Bloodline Power and take us down with you? Heh, maybe you're strong, and burning your Origin Bloodline Power would make you far stronger than us. But you know we have the God Devouring Body, and we left Phantom Clones long ago. The moment you burn your Origin Bloodline Power, we'll withdraw.
