Although he had been injured by Heaven-Tilting, Land-Sinking, the Lord of the Universe naturally knew that Ling Tian had held back. At the very least, he knew Ling Tian could work with the Eastern Emperor Bell to use secret arts like Space Shatter, and that even without revealing its true form, the Eastern Emperor Bell could withstand an attack like this. What was more, the method Ling Tian had used just now was even more powerful, especially in terms of potential. So he was quite satisfied with Ling Tian and deemed him to have passed this test.
"It was only because you showed mercy, senior." Ling Tian said, letting out a small sigh of relief. At the same time, he didn't forget to recover as quickly as he could. Thanks to his powerful regenerative ability, he soon returned to his peak condition.
"Next, my attack is called Ten Directions Annihilation. It's performed with my Natal Dan Artifact, the Ten Directions Battle Banner. You may use your own Natal Dan Artifact to defend against it." The Lord of the Universe spoke solemnly. As he said this, the Ten Directions Battle Banner, which had originally been in the Demon God Forbidden Ground, instantly appeared in the universe and trapped Ling Tian within it.
The Ten Directions Battle Banner seemed to have merged with the Circulatory Universe, bringing the entire universe to a standstill. Ling Tian felt an even more overwhelming pressure. Even though he had already gained control over part of the Circulatory Universe, it was nearly too much for him to bear. Fortunately, the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared and protected him at its center. Its humming chimes resisted the terrifying might radiating from the Ten Directions Battle Banner, easing the pressure on him somewhat.
But soon, Ling Tian's expression turned grave.
