The iron hooves responded with a sound and turned to fly towards the spatial rift. The Witch Demon and Chasing Wind did not speak; they both knew the Dragon King was right. Although Zhao Hai was injured in battle today, it was indeed troublesome for a divine-level skeleton, but Zhao Hai had too many methods. They couldn't be sure if he had a quick recovery method. If Zhao Hai had a quick recovery method, combined with his strength and his helpers, then the troubles for the Dragon King and his group would be enormous.
From the perspective of the Dragon King and his group, nothing was more important than building a city. Therefore, to safely construct the city, they had to ensure that their strength could overpower Zhao Hai. In fact, the people of the demon realm had previously discussed a strategy to attack Zhao Hai in rotation. A divine-level expert couldn't stay on the Ark Continent for too long, but there were many divine-level experts in the demon realm. They planned to let these divine-level experts appear in rotation on the Ark Continent to launch attacks, believing that such assaults would not be able to be defended against for long.
The Dragon King and his companions were somewhat famous divine-level experts in the demon realm, so they were sent to oversee the Demon Abyss in the first wave, believing that there wouldn't be any problems. However, they underestimated Zhao Hai and his spatial abilities. They did not expect that Zhao Hai could produce three divine-level experts in such a short time, and most importantly, they did not realize that Zhao Hai could comprehend a domain, and such a powerful domain at that.
Because they underestimated Zhao Hai, this time his attack caused them significant losses, and the Dragon King realized that the strength they had at hand was insufficient to ensure their safety in constructing the city. Thus, he had no choice but to send Iron Hoof back to the demon realm for reinforcements. Seeking help in the demon clan was indeed a very shameful matter, but the Dragon King did it because he understood how important this city was for the demon clan.
At this moment, Zhao Hai was healing his injuries in the spatial realm. After so many battles, it was the first time Zhao Hai was injured; he had to admit that these several divine-level experts indeed possessed considerable skills in battle.
Although Zhao Hai could crystallize his body, this time, due to the use of a domain, the injuries were more of a psychological impact on Zhao Hai. The crystallization of his body could not block the attacks from the Dragon King and the others.
This was also due to Zhao Hai's lack of proficiency in using his domain. He could have integrated his otherworldly techniques into his domain. Unfortunately, Zhao Hai had not done so yet, as it was not an easy task to apply his otherworldly techniques to his domain. However, once successful, the power of Zhao Hai's domain would become extraordinarily strong.
Having sustained such a heavy injury for the first time after numerous battles, Zhao Hai was not worried. In the spatial realm, he had countless methods to heal himself. Not to mention, both Spatial Water and the Blood Pool had very strong healing effects.
Zhao Hai also discovered another place in the space with excellent healing effects, the hot springs, which also possessed remarkable healing abilities, rivaling Spatial Water and the Blood Pool. Although Zhao Hai's injuries seemed severe, they were actually merely impacts on his spiritual energy. Such injuries were quite troublesome for others, but for Zhao Hai, they were not really a problem.
Although there were no good methods in the space to heal psychological injuries, Zhao Hai remembered that there was an expert in spiritual energy by his side, Berry. The succubus clan relied on spiritual energy for combat, and the title of the top spiritual energy-using race in the demon clan was not given for no reason. Therefore, Berry had profound insights into healing spiritual injuries, and she also had a special cultivation method aimed at treating such injuries. Upon learning about Zhao Hai's wounds, she directly used her spiritual energy to heal him and then shared various methods of using spiritual energy for combat and healing.
