Mighty Lord

Chapter 1227: Chapter 480 Leading the Way_2

Although Zhou Tian did not actually die at the hands of those demigods, he had taken note of their actions. Without the power to seek retribution, Zhou Tian could act as if nothing had happened, but once he was capable of retaliating, he did not mind teaching those demigods a lesson.

To seek vengeance, if Zhou Tian did not take revenge on his enemies when he had the capacity, he would probably feel that his thoughts were not flowing properly! After all, from any perspective, Zhou Tian’s strength was firmly above those demigods by more than just a notch. With his current strength, combined with the help from his subordinate bosses, it was almost certain to confront those demigods who had troubled him before. Thus, since there was no danger, Zhou Tian would certainly take revenge on his former enemies.

As such, following Zhou Tian’s command, right after he and a few subordinate bosses were teleported to the Ancient Ruins Space where he had previously faced obstacles, they immediately invaded the interior of that Ancient Ruins Space.

Given the strength of Zhou Tian and his group, the living beings inhabiting that Ancient Ruins Space were naturally unable to withstand their attack. Consequently, in a short time under their assault, Zhou Tian had seized control of most of the territory in that Ancient Ruins Space.

With Zhou Tian’s actions, the ruler of that Ancient Ruins Space naturally responded at that time. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Just like last time, existences at the demigod level had little interest in managing affairs. Generally, they cultivated in their dwellings, and only faced the issue if the Ancient Ruins Space was in danger of falling into enemy hands. That was when they would come out to resolve the problem.

Similar to the last time, Zhou Tian initially encountered no obstacles when he began his conquest of the Ancient Ruins Space. Only when the Ancient Ruins Space was on the verge of falling did the demigod ruling that space make their move.

This time was basically similar to the last; initially, Zhou Tian swiftly took over most of the territory in that Ancient Ruins Space without any trouble. However, just as he was about to completely secure the territory, the demigod of that Ancient Ruins Space could not help but step forward.

Although based on the existence of a demigod, their interest in worldly power had diminished, they were concerned about the resources they required.

Like the deities in myths that do not actually exist, the Law of Conservation of Energy applies in every world. One can imagine that if a living being engaged in the mere act of breathing air daily like those deities, even if it was the legendary Immortal Energy, the energy from that breath would hardly suffice to elevate a being to a significant height! Speaking of energy, aren’t Magic Elements also a form of energy? Even if not as potent as Immortal Energy, it’s still an energy source, but no one has ever heard of a mage who could sustain without food by just meditating! At most, it can be said that once a being’s strength reaches a certain standard, food intake would then become more about quality than quantity.

Not to mention, wherever one seeks a breakthrough in any world, inevitably, some special Heavenly treasures are essential. Thus, not considering the current Epoch, demigods in earlier Epochs not only thought about breakthroughs, but even the maintenance of their vitality consumed a significant amount of energy. In that situation, it’s obvious that without ruling over a territory, ordinary demigods would find it hard to sustain the consumption needed for their own requirements.

Thus, even if indifferent to power, those demigods could not overlook the importance of the territories they ruled. Without an appropriate territory to sustain the daily consumption of resources, even if their strength did not weaken, without the support of those resources, the demigods could hardly continue their existence for much longer.

Given that situation, seizing the territories of those demigods was akin to cutting their flesh. Hence, unless they acknowledged defeat, those demigods would under no circumstances simply watch their territories be taken.

If it were some other powerful beings who discovered they had suddenly lost so much territory, they would likely assess the enemy’s strength before responding accordingly.

But demigods were different.

With deities generally not descending to the Lower Realm, the Human Emperor was the peak existence. And before Zhou Tian became the Human Emperor, in fact, such beings did not exist in the current world. Thus, based on the circumstances of that time, the demigods were the strongest category of beings. As a demigod, the owner of the Ancient Ruins Space that Zhou Tian was attacking felt undoubtedly that they could not possibly be defeated by this suddenly emerged enemy.

As a result, with absolute confidence in their own strength, upon discovering Zhou Tian and his forces, they almost immediately emerged from their dwellings to engage in battle.
