Mighty Lord

Chapter 1438: Chapter 537_2

Since Pan Shi could barely preserve his own life at that time, he naturally wouldn’t have had the ability to counterattack those living beings. Consequently, though there was no trouble in the short term, without the ability to fight back, it was unlikely that Pan Shi could consistently ensure his safety from the enemies’ hands.

Therefore, based on the situation at that time, unless Zhou Tian took action to help, even if there was no trouble currently, it was likely that if time dragged on, Pan Shi would inevitably die at the hands of those living beings.

Was Zhou Tian capable of saving Pan Shi at this moment?

If that formidable opponent hadn’t existed, given Zhou Tian’s ability, he would have protected Pan Shi. No matter how powerful those living beings were, it would have been difficult for them to gain any advantage over him.

But the current problem was that, because of the presence of that formidable opponent, Zhou Tian was already finding it quite difficult to handle even the enemies in front of him. In that situation, it was undoubtedly very hard for him to protect Pan Shi.

It could almost be said that, unable to protect even himself, Zhou Tian simply couldn’t spare any effort to help Pan Shi. Accordingly, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Tian might have been able to hold on for a while against the attacks of those living beings, but it was estimated that Pan Shi wouldn’t last long before dying at their hands.

If Pan Shi were to die at the hands of those living beings, with this ally gone, Zhou Tian, standing alone, might presently seem capable of self-preservation against those living beings’ attacks, but considering the strength of his current opponents, it was questionable whether Zhou Tian could endure their encirclement to the end.

Completely unable to save Pan Shi, yet the ally must be saved—it put Zhou Tian in a difficult dilemma given the situation.

Left with no choice, as the battle evolved to its current state, Zhou Tian could only resort to utilizing some abilities that he hadn’t used initially.

To be honest, judging from the battle situation back then, it was clear that both Zhou Tian and Pan Shi were in a desperate situation. Without any changes, based on the circumstances then, they were doomed.

Regrettably, the living beings this time were up against Zhou Tian and Pan Shi, and neither of them was simple to deal with. Although the cultivation rules in the Main Plane lacked the unique conditions of the current world, in other respects, the environment of the current world was far inferior to that of the Main Plane.

Thus, both Zhou Tian and Pan Shi, who could be considered significant figures in the Main Plane, were not lacking in various tactics. Additionally, the living beings of the current world were unfamiliar with some tactics from the Main Plane. In that case, if Zhou Tian and Pan Shi were to use some trump card abilities, the living beings might genuinely have no capacity to respond.

Initially, they preserved those abilities as trump cards for unforeseen circumstances, which was why Zhou Tian and others hadn’t used them. Now, finding themselves in such an unfavorable situation, it was naturally time for Zhou Tian to utilize those abilities. And based on Zhou Tian’s capability, once he deployed those abilities, those living beings would naturally suffer a disadvantage.

If Pan Shi were to use his trump card at the moment, his ability might likely be similar to those of the living beings. After all, both Pan Shi and the living beings cultivated the same type of strength, and under such identical systems, Pan Shi’s ability wouldn’t be ineffective, but its lethal power over those living beings would definitely be limited.

And because of insufficient foundation, Zhou Tian was bound to have some differences in tactics compared to Pan Shi.

Speaking of the old power system, Zhou Tian’s weakness was there. Although Zhou Tian had already started cultivating, according to the situation then, theoretically, if Zhou Tian were to use the old power system’s strength to confront those living beings, it was unlikely to have a good result.

In fact, though the time ability was beginning to play an increasingly significant role in Zhou Tian’s hands, at least up to this moment, Zhou Tian’s time ability wasn’t powerful enough to be considered as a trump card. The ability Zhou Tian could truly rely on as a trump card would either be tactics from the new power system of the Main Plane or definitely alchemy products created by his subordinates.

In fact, according to the situation at the time, the tactic Zhou Tian used against those living beings was indeed alchemy products. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Although the Monster System abilities of the Main Plane could also pose some threat to those living beings, really speaking, Zhou Tian, now a Human Emperor, already possessed the most potent strength of the Monster Power System. Since Zhou Tian was constrained and helpless against those enemies, implementing more tactics would be pointless.

Instead, the alchemy products in Zhou Tian’s hands, although generally less effective than Zhou Tian’s own abilities, became undoubtedly more potent than Zhou Tian’s capabilities when he was seriously injured. After all, alchemy products do not require Zhou Tian to be in any particular state to function; as long as their inherent power is sufficient, they could always significantly affect any situation.
