Mighty Lord

Chapter 1158: Chapter 457 New Ideas_2

The combat held no surprises, and it’s not as if the emperor-level BOSS of the Monster had not already called up his elite forces to attack Zhou Tian’s territory. Even if the emperor-level BOSS had been in his own territory at the time, given Zhou Tian’s current strength, the resistance of the emperor-level BOSS would have likely been ineffective.

Thus, given the strength of Zhou Tian and his Beastman army attacking an emperor-level power that lacked its BOSS, there naturally wouldn’t be any unexpected outcomes.

As a result, Zhou Tian hardly had to take action a few times before, in the span of just a few days, an emperor-level force fell into his hands. However, just as Zhou Tian seized the territory and was about to leave, the emperor-level BOSS of that time unexpectedly returned.

Whether he rushed back as soon as he received the news or not, given the strength of that emperor-level BOSS, his return from Zhou Tian’s territory in such a short time was quite fast. Regardless of how fast the emperor-level BOSS was at the time, by the situation at hand, his return was already too late.

When the emperor-level BOSS returned to his territory, he naturally discovered that his territory had already been taken by Zhou Tian. Upon discovering this, the emperor-level BOSS was, of course, greatly shocked and immediately prepared to reclaim his lost territory.

The emperor-level BOSS knew it would be very difficult to reclaim his lost land from Zhou Tian’s Beastman army. It was likely he wouldn’t even manage to reclaim his territory before he would suffer a fall in realm due to the loss of it. However, even though the emperor-level BOSS knew reclaiming his territory would be challenging, given the situation at the time, he still had no choice but to attempt it.

At the emperor-level BOSS stage, because of changes in their power system, even utilizing the Stele’s Power could no longer guarantee their strength wouldn’t decrease. Therefore, to maintain his strength, the emperor-level BOSS must not lose his territory.

It was precisely because of the importance of the territory to the emperor-level BOSS that when he returned to his land, even though he knew he couldn’t reclaim all his lost land before falling in realm, he still made that move. It wasn’t that he had much confidence in himself, he simply didn’t want to give up at that moment.

However...

Regardless of whether the mindset of the emperor-level BOSS could make a difference, given the situation in his territory at that time, the efforts of the emperor-level BOSS were destined to be fruitless.

Had Zhou Tian already left at that time, then when the emperor-level BOSS stepped in to reclaim his territory, it’s not to say that he certainly would have succeeded, but his efforts might still have some effect. However, his return was a bit too early, and Zhou Tian had not gone far at that time. Thus, given Zhou Tian’s strength, the efforts of the emperor-level BOSS were naturally also destined to be fruitless.

As a result, just as the emperor-level BOSS issued the appropriate commands and began to reclaim his territory with his monster forces, Zhou Tian had already received the relevant news.

Upon receiving that news, Zhou Tian immediately took action without a second thought.

If Zhou Tian had already gone far, he probably would have been too lazy to bother with the opponent. A monster destined to fall in realm, who could still pose a certain threat at that moment, wouldn’t cause Zhou Tian much concern in the future given its inevitable decline. Therefore, there was no need for Zhou Tian to go out of his way to deal with him.

However, since Zhou Tian had not yet left, the actions of the emperor-level BOSS were akin to walking into the line of fire. Regardless of his strength not being too strong, even if the emperor-level BOSS’s strength was top-tier at his level, given Zhou Tian’s current strength, he didn’t mind crushing the "ants" beside him.

Indeed, although Zhou Tian seemed weak when facing that goddess, making it appear as if his strength as the Human Emperor was feeble. However, Zhou Tian was facing a Deity, whose realm was at least equal to his own, and more likely, above him.

While Zhou Tian was just a newly ascended Human Emperor, it was not surprising that he was defeated by the goddess in combat. But while Zhou Tian was no match for the goddess, if he wanted to deal with those emperor-level BOSSes, it would indeed be as simple as crushing ants for him.

The disparity in strength between Zhou Tian and those emperor-level BOSSes was almost as large as his gap with the goddess, but now Zhou Tian had no such constraints like a goddess, and the emperor-level BOSSes did not have an Immortal Body. The only reason these emperor-level BOSSes were a threat to Zhou Tian was because they coveted Zhou Tian’s territory and had not engaged in a hard fight with him. Now, as soon as an emperor-level BOSS appeared near Zhou Tian, given Zhou Tian’s strength, he didn’t mind easily killing off that emperor-level BOSS. freēwebnovel.com

Therefore, right after hearing about the emperor-level BOSS, Zhou Tian did not hesitate and immediately sought out the opponent. At that time, the emperor-level BOSS did not know Zhou Tian was still close by. Now, as Zhou Tian suddenly came knocking, the emperor-level BOSS’s face suddenly changed, and he prepared to flee at that moment.
