At the very least, he could have forced them to use some of their trump cards or abandon the grand formation. Yet the Lord of the Universe's true body had never appeared. That was enough for Chi Xue and the others to conclude that his true body was restrained and could not leave the Demon God Forbidden Ground.
At that thought, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But then they recalled what Ling Tian had said, and their expressions grew somewhat grave again. A possibility had occurred to them: if the Lord of the Universe's true body didn't act next, he would surely use some other means to test them, and those means could pose a considerable threat.
