That was right. Although Chi Xue and the others might not manage to eliminate all the Demon Soldiers and modified Nine Nether Soldiers before the Grand Formation was destroyed, they might not need to kill every last one to make the Lord of the Universe give up on further probing. After all, he couldn't simply stand by and watch all his Demon Soldiers and Nine Nether Soldiers get killed. He would surely still need them to hold Chi Xue and the others back, especially when he launched the final battle.
In other words, the more Demon Soldiers and modified Nine Nether Soldiers Chi Xue and the others killed, the more likely they were to force the Lord of the Universe to end his probing attacks early. They would also have a better chance of forcing him to delay things once more. Having considered this, Chi Xue and the others unanimously decided that from then on, they could use Space Shatter somewhat more often—though they meant unleashing the secret technique at full power. After all, only at full power could it kill large numbers of Demon Soldiers and Nine Nether Soldiers.
"Of course, that comes with a condition: we can't exhaust ourselves too much. At the very least, we can't let it show that we've suffered a significant drain." As the Nine Nether Soldiers and Demon Soldiers drew closer, Ling Tian's Clone gave them one final reminder. Seeing everyone nod, he continued, "There's another point, and it's the most important one: we must ensure our own safety. That's even more important than killing large numbers of Demon Soldiers and Nine Nether Soldiers. Only then can we keep the Lord of the Universe guessing about our strength and depth, and only then will he refrain from acting rashly."
That was right. As
