Mighty Lord

Chapter 1565: Chapter 569

The world in which Zhou Tian found himself was governed by certain rules, stipulating that once a living being’s cultivation level reached a certain standard, they would unavoidably ascend and leave this world, regardless of their willingness.

Even with Zhou Tian’s current strength, once his cultivation was sufficient, he too couldn’t resist the pull of the world’s force and was forced to choose ascension. And under these circumstances, it is believed that there were creatures stronger than Zhou Tian before him, but those with formidable foundations inevitably had to leave this world upon reaching the limit of their cultivation.

Hence, if Zhou Tian were in the state before ascension, even though he practiced the Time Rule, finding living beings stronger than him in the current world would not be many, but not impossible.

However, just like now, after Zhou Tian had increased his strength by several notches using his method, and astonishingly thwarted the ascension process, Zhou Tian’s threat level had soared drastically at that moment.

Given the rules of the current world, it is almost certain that no living being in this world could match Zhou Tian. And under these circumstances, those beings who kept him here are essentially digging their own graves by trapping so many living beings together with him inside a barrier without the ability to defeat Zhou Tian.

Of course, there was no need for Zhou Tian to show mercy to his enemies, not to mention that at this moment, they were intent on wiping him out completely. Even if their purpose for keeping him wasn’t as such, given such an opportunity, Zhou Tian would definitely not pass up the chance to kill his enemies.

Therefore, once Zhou Tian quickly grasped his current predicament, he didn’t hesitate and launched an attack on the living beings within the barrier without a second thought.

Zhou Tian didn’t know how long that barrier could last; after all, it was strong enough to prevent living beings from ascending. But Zhou Tian’s cultivation level was much stronger than that of ordinary ascenders, and hence the gravitational force he felt was certainly stronger. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Thus, even if the barrier could indefinitely contain ordinary ascenders, when exerted upon Zhou Tian, it was estimated that it couldn’t maintain its integrity for very long. And if Zhou Tian couldn’t eliminate his opponents before the barrier shattered, he would likely lose this perfect opportunity.

And so, with Zhou Tian’s power at that time, as soon as he truly began his attack on those living beings within the barrier, he immediately inflicted massive casualties. Under the relentless assault by Zhou Tian’s formidable power, those living beings couldn’t even think about killing Zhou Tian, they lacked even the ability to resist.

Thereupon, upon realizing he could not ascend, Zhou Tian immediately stepped towards those living beings. Just as they thought they had Zhou Tian cornered and rushed to kill him, they often collapsed to the ground inexplicably before even reaching him.

"Bang bang bang..."

A continuous succession of sounds echoed, quickening the heartbeats of the living beings as they fell one after another. Originally thinking they had trapped Zhou Tian, the enemy, they now found themselves in a cage, helplessly awaiting death as Zhou Tian’s power far exceeded theirs.

The living beings, unwilling to die without a fight, of course would not just stand idly by as Zhou Tian struck them down. But the problem was, with Zhou Tian having no intention of sparing them and their strength falling short of his, they seemed destined to only watch helplessly as he killed their companions.

As a result, group after group of living beings continuously fell at Zhou Tian’s hands. With his relentless onslaught, it didn’t take long for all of them to be annihilated.

"Heaven aids me!"

It can certainly be considered an unexpected fortune; Zhou Tian had already prepared himself for the worst after seeing the formidable array set against him. However, to his surprise, those beings had dug their own graves. And in that context, taking back the clone bodies might have caused some waste, but in comparison to Zhou Tian’s gains, it was still a significant profit.

Regardless of the waste Zhou Tian might have caused at that moment, considering the spoils of war from this battle, even if he lost all his cultivation at present, by devouring the tens of thousands of living beings who had encircled him, there would be no problem for him to completely recover his strength.

Not to mention, for Zhou Tian at that time, eliminating those living beings meant gains far beyond a mere increase in strength.
