According to Chi Xue and the others' estimates, by now, the Purgatory Nether Sea formed by the Purgatory Nether Crows pouring into the God Realm should have completely shrouded the Lord of the Universe's universe. Yet the Purgatory Nether Crows were still streaming into the God Realm, leaving them deeply puzzled. After analyzing the situation, they came up with two possibilities: either Ling Tian was capturing the Purgatory Nether Crows, or the Lord of the Universe was concealing his strength and his universe was far larger than they had previously seen.
Neither possibility was good news for Chi Xue and the others. They understood that if Ling Tian was capturing the Purgatory Nether Crows, he couldn't use the Eastern Emperor Bell's inner space to cultivate and improve his strength.
Ling Tian's increase in strength mattered most to them, because he would be their main force in resisting the Lord of the Universe's attacks in the future. That would be true even if their friends and family could support him in battle. His strength was crucial, and only if he grew as strong as possible would they have a better chance of holding off the Lord of the Universe.
But if capturing the Purgatory Nether Crows kept Ling Tian from cultivating in the Eastern Emperor Bell's inner space, then forcing the Lord of the Universe to keep delaying would have little meaning.
The other possibility worried Chi Xue and the others even more. Everyone knew that the size of a cultivator's Small World directly affected their strength. If the Lord of the Universe's universe was far larger than they had previously seen, that meant he was much stronger than they had estimated. Defeating him in the future would undoubtedly be even harder.
The others had thought of this too, and their
