As Ling Tian began using the Talent Devouring Secret Art to capture the Purgatory Nether Crows around him, Poqiong thought of another problem: what if the Lord of the Universe stopped letting the Purgatory Nether Crows approach Ling Tian?

Once he saw that Ling Tian could capture large numbers of Purgatory Nether Crows, he would naturally keep them away and have them cover other areas first. Only when it was time to attack Ling Tian would he send the Purgatory Nether Sea sweeping over him. That way, Ling Tian could capture only a limited number of Purgatory Nether Crows, and naturally wouldn't be able to buy much time.
"That could happen, and it's quite likely," Dan Bi said gravely. Then, as if she'd thought of something, her tone shifted. "But even if Ling Tian and the others can't capture the Purgatory Nether Crows around them, it won't matter much. According to Senior Creation's estimate, it'll take the Purgatory Nether Sea several hundred years, perhaps close to a thousand, to cover the entire universe.

"Ling Tian can also keep expanding his Small World. If he makes further progress in fusing Externalized Small Worlds, he'll have a better chance of defeating the Lord of the Universe when they face off later. At the very least, he'll be able to withstand
