Chapter 1012: Chapter 408 Against Demigods_3
Regardless of the reason, when those beings detonated the magic-guidance tool, the forces that Zhou Tian wanted to ambush in the Ancient Ruins Space probably stood no chance. In light of this situation, Zhou Tian immediately abandoned his more cunning ideas and instead prepared to forcefully seize the enemy’s territory.
Zhou Tian didn’t treat the matter as important because he had already conquered many Ancient Ruins Spaces over the last period, making him feel quite relaxed about taking over another such space. For this reason, even when his presence was discovered by the enemy, Zhou Tian didn’t take it seriously at all.
As a result, Zhou Tian kept advancing deeper into the Ancient Ruins Space, attacking continuously upon encountering the beings there. Initially, Zhou Tian’s attacks were indeed without any accidents. With his Emperor-level Boss strength, all the beings who encountered him met an inevitable death.
However, after Zhou Tian had killed countless beings in the Ancient Ruins Space, one day he suddenly felt a powerful aura. Upon sensing that aura, Zhou Tian’s expression instantly changed.
"Demigod?" Zhou Tian hadn’t expected that his actions, which had never posed a problem before, would confront such a powerful being upon deciding to strike at this Ancient Ruins Space. So, when Zhou Tian sensed that aura, he unavoidably felt somewhat wary.
Although Zhou Tian’s strength as an Emperor-level Boss was already firmly established by then, and he could even be considered a mid-tier individual among Emperor-level Bosses, he still felt somewhat uneasy about fighting this sudden enemy. Regardless of the current level of his strength, the fact that he had not been an Emperor-level Boss for long made it quite abrupt for him to engage in combat with this enemy.
In the Main Plane, Zhou Tian had only fought with two Emperor-level Bosses and one demigod. Through those few battles, Zhou Tian gained a rough understanding of his own strength. However, speaking seriously, Zhou Tian still lacked experience fighting against peers of similar strength.
Nevertheless, although Zhou Tian felt wary of this enemy’s strength and unprepared for the battle, if he really needed to fight, he wouldn’t be afraid. Even upon feeling the approach of that demigod-level power, Zhou Tian did not hesitate to unleash his own aura.
If battle was inevitable, Zhou Tian would not shy away. Knowing that there was such a strong being in the Ancient Ruins Space, he didn’t mind a confrontation. If the opponent’s strength was great, losing to him wouldn’t be shameful. But if the opponent’s strength was average, Zhou Tian wouldn’t mind showing him a thing or two about his own capabilities.
As soon as Zhou Tian released his aura, the powerful being indeed felt its effect. After pinpointing Zhou Tian’s position, that powerful being immediately flew towards him.
Unlike the beings under his command who directly attacked Zhou Tian, this Ancient Ruins Space being, knowing the existence of an Emperor-level Boss, was clearly aware of the formidable combat power represented. Thus, after seeing Zhou Tian, a peer in rank, the demigod didn’t dare to act rashly.
"You are a newly upgraded monster from the Main Plane, aren’t you? Hadn’t we reached an agreement with you? How dare you come into my space? Retreat quickly, and I’ll consider this matter never happened," said the demigod. Although he couldn’t hide the anger on his face, upon appearing within Zhou Tian’s line of sight, he didn’t immediately launch an attack but instead spoke words that Zhou Tian found utterly incomprehensible.
Listening to the demigod, it seemed as if the original monsters of the Emperor-level from the Main Plane had some kind of agreement with these Ancient Ruins Space demigods. Zhou Tian’s current actions seemingly violated that agreement.
However, while Zhou Tian did not know whether the words spoken were true, he clearly did not take them seriously. As he saw it, he wasn’t a part of those agreements, and even if such an agreement had existed, passing up benefits would be truly regrettable.
Now that Zhou Tian heard the demigod’s words, retreating would mean not just backing out from this Ancient Ruins Space, but entirely abandoning his initial plans. If other Ancient Ruins Space demigods could pressure him to retreat using similar tactics, then where among the numerous Ancient Ruins Spaces wouldn’t have a demigod present? If Zhou Tian was persuaded by such words, he might as well give up his original plans completely.
But how could Zhou Tian possibly afford to give up his plans? Thus, though retreating would have avoided the conflict, unwilling to abandon his expansion strategy, Zhou Tian ultimately decided to ignore the threat of the demigod and engage in an all-out confrontation. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
After all, although Zhou Tian’s strength had been on the rise, the territories he could annex were now limited to these Ancient Ruins Spaces. If he gave up annexing these, he would then have to target the Overseas Continents of the Main Plane. (To be continued. If you like this work, I invite you to vote for it on qidian.com.
