Mighty Lord

Chapter 1517: Chapter 557

Zhou Tian probably didn’t realize just how much pressure he was putting on those living beings!

Since ancient times, not many, but not few living beings have ascended from this world, and those who have ascended rarely return. Even if they do return, their cultivation levels are usually abandoned, and in such a state, as soon as they enter this world, no matter what preparations they made or how formidable they once were, they are extremely weak.

This is precisely why, for the living beings in this world, although it is not their rule to kill all returnees, if they encounter them early on, even living beings with average strength could easily chase and kill those who could have once instantly killed them.

However, a change occurred with Zhou Tian; although his strength was still reduced, he retained much of his strength upon his return. For this reason, the unprepared living beings didn’t send more potent members to kill Zhou Tian.

Later, the abilities Zhou Tian demonstrated gave those living beings a headache. Even now, those living beings still do not have enough confidence to say they can find Zhou Tian’s true body, and without breaking his abilities, even if they sent their mightiest members, they wouldn’t find his true body. If Zhou Tian intended to flee, they would never be able to stop him.

How could those living beings feel secure without being able to kill Zhou Tian? After all, Zhou Tian’s potential and strength were evident, and if they let him grow again, his threat would increase. If Zhou Tian had left quietly, it would have been alright, but it was bad news for those living beings if he wanted to establish roots in this world.

Although the living beings that ruled this world were well-established and the rulers had long reached an understanding among themselves, reducing internal conflicts, they would unite to face any external threats to their safety.

However, no matter what preparations those living beings had made, they were not destined to become Ascenders, their strength might be formidable, but their cultivation levels were definitely not at the Ascension level.

Even if the rules of cultivation were strong enough to allow those ruling this world to possess strength comparable to, or even surpassing, Ascenders, the cultivation level limit still restricted their strength. Perhaps they would only be wary and not truly fear a regular Ascender, but someone like Zhou Tian, who was supported by two power systems and might regain some of his strength, would likely become an opponent they could not defeat.

If Zhou Tian truly regained that kind of strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for him, if he wished, to not only shake the foundation of those living beings but potentially replace them.

Thus, even if some Ascenders who had regained their strength were to turn a blind eye, giving Zhou Tian any chance to recover his strength was out of the question. Initially, because they could not find Zhou Tian, those living beings wanted to fight him desperately but couldn’t find him. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

However, now that Zhou Tian had willingly sought trouble with the Human Emperor, once those living beings confirmed his location, they would undoubtedly take action.

Whether they helped the Human Emperor, considering him a potential ally, or sought to restrain Zhou Tian’s growth, about an hour or two after Zhou Tian attacked the Human Emperor and severely wounded him—but still failed to kill him—living beings started appearing nearby.

"So fast, what a nuisance!"

Had they given him more time, Zhou Tian was confident he could kill the Human Emperor, needing just a few more hours to seal him. But clearly, from the current situation, Zhou Tian knew those living beings would not give him that time.

Now that those living beings had appeared near the Battlefield, it indicated that they intended to intervene in this battle. Based on those living beings’ strength, Zhou Tian quickly assessed the situation and realized that although he had successfully severely wounded the Human Emperor, with those living beings’ protection, he likely had no chance to kill the Human Emperor.

When he reached this conclusion, Zhou Tian felt extremely unhappy, seeing victory right before his eyes, only for it to slip away due to the intervention of those living beings. How could such a shift from hope to disappointment possibly be acceptable to Zhou Tian?
