Although Little Devourer knew that even if they broke through to the Twenty-sixth Heaven of Near-Saint, they would still have little chance of snatching the Creation Divine Tree from the Sacred Heart Sect—and might not even be able to protect themselves—he still wanted to try. After all, only by trying could they learn how strong the Sacred Heart Sect was. Then they could devise a strategy to counter them and stand a better chance of defeating them and taking the Creation Divine Tree from their hands.
Besides, Little Devourer was worried that Hua Min'er and the others would be in even greater danger if they waited too long, so he was growing somewhat impatient.
Naturally sensing Little Devourer's worry, Ling Tian reassured him. "Don't worry. Though we'll have little chance of taking the Creation Divine Tree after we break through to the Twenty-sixth Heaven of Near-Saint, we should be able to defeat the Sacred Heart Sect cultivators before we break through to the Twenty-seventh Heaven of Near-Saint, barring any surprises. In other words, we should be able to seize the Creation Divine Tree before then. And reaching the Twenty-seventh Heaven of Near-Saint won't take us too long. At this rate, it'll only be a hundred thousand years or so."
"A hundred thousand years may seem like a long time to ordinary people, but to us, it'll pass in the blink of an eye, so we don't need to be too anxious," Ling Tian added. After a brief pause, he continued, "Especially since we both know our friends and family are all hiding in the Realm Stone. The Lord of the Universe needs them alive to control us, and most importantly, we both know he obtained a portion of the Creation Divine Tree's Origin Power. So there's no need to worry
