As Chi Xue and the others grew more adept at combining the formations and restrictions of their Externalized Small Worlds, holding off the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers became easier and easier. In particular, they had increased the intensity of their attacks. So even when the Lord of the Universe deployed more modified Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, they still held them off, successfully creating an opportunity for Ling Tian's Clone and the others. And the latter did not disappoint: they had finally repaired half of the grand formation. Judging by the situation, only if the Lord of the Universe deployed several times as many modified Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, along with all the remaining Demon Soldiers, would he have a chance of stopping them. But at this point, it seemed unlikely that he could manage that.
Of course, even if the Lord of the Universe did just that and stopped Ling Tian's Clone and the others from repairing the grand formation, it would not matter much. During that time, Chi Xue and the others could take out even more Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, perhaps even all the Demon Soldiers. Erasing some of the Origin Power of the Creation Divine Tree and the power of the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation contained within them would undoubtedly deal a considerable blow to the Lord of the Universe.
