Intentionally Showing Weakness

The Natural Barrier between the Demon Race and the Land of Chaos was terrifying beyond measure. Its natural ice wall was like a divine weapon of ice, its chill freezing heaven and earth. Even Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators dared not force their way through. Only several Demon Immortals working together could open a passage, which showed just how formidable the Natural Barrier was.

During a sparring match with Lian Yue on a planet blanketed in ice and snow, Ling Tian had learned that she possessed a strange ability: she could borrow the power of heaven and earth to unleash a Phenomenal Domain. The more powerful that force, the more terrifying her domain became. Even Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators were deeply wary of this Natural Barrier. If Lian Yue could borrow its power, then stopping their pursuers for a while might not be impossible.

From the moment he first laid eyes on the Natural Barrier, to later having Tian Xin bring Hu Yao and Lian Yue close to it under the pretext of "protecting" them, Ling Tian's keen planning was plain to see.

"Tsk, tsk. I can't say how strong Ling Tian is in battle, but I've seen for myself how terrifying his intelligence and schemes are." Even Tian Xin, whose eyes were usually as placid as still water, now showed a glimmer of admiration. "It seems Ling Tian's tactical cunning is every bit as good as Shi Ao's. No wonder Shi Ao, who has always thought himself above everyone else, takes him seriously."

"Pah! How could Shi Ao compare to Brother Tian?" Lian Yue scoffed. "From the Mysterious Spirit Bee Race's territory all the way here, Brother Tian has been leading him around by the nose."

"Heh, you little girl." Tian Xin smiled, as lovely as a blooming ice lotus.
