Chapter 958: Intense Battle
Zhao Hai understood Dingxing's intention. Dingxing was reminding the elders of the otherworldly divine race, making them realize that if Zhao Hai killed them, dealing with the three of them would be even easier.
Checks and balances are generally a tactic used by those in power; almost every ruler employs them. A ruler who cannot utilize checks and balances can never be a successful one.
As the Elder Supreme of the Central Continent, Dingxing was very familiar with such tactics and naturally used them adeptly.
Sure enough, after Dingxing spoke, the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race looked at Zhao Hai with unusual expressions. It was evident that they understood Dingxing's words. Otherwise, they wouldn't have distanced themselves from Zhao Hai upon seeing him.
Seeing the expressions of the elders of the otherworldly divine race, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile gently. He turned to Dingxing and said, "You don't need to worry about this, Elder Dingxing. I've already explained my reasons to the clan leaders of the three major other races. If I eliminate you, I can leave the God Realm, and I have my own reasons for having to leave."
Zhao Hai's words directly countered Dingxing's warnings, and the hearts of the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race lightened. Zhao Hai glanced at them and said solemnly, "Three Elders, if we miss this opportunity to deal with them, we might never have another chance. I have my reasons for needing to leave; it won't be long before I must depart from the God Realm. At that time, you three will have to face the nine great elders alone."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the faces of the three Elder Supremes changed. To be honest, what Zhao Hai said struck at their greatest weakness.
Whether Zhao Hai posed a threat to them was uncertain, as he was currently their ally. However, if Zhao Hai really left, the entire divine race would be theirs, and the divine race had always been their enemy. After tens of thousands of years of hostility, their hatred had long since seeped into their bones. If they didn't take this opportunity to eliminate Zhao Hai, when he truly departed, they would be left to face the elders of the otherworldly divine race alone.
Dingxing realized the situation was dire after hearing Zhao Hai's words. He squinted his eyes and shouted, "Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Dingxing Disk with all his strength.
The Dingxing Disk floating above his head suddenly began to move. It spun rapidly, and with a turn of his head, white light shot out from the Dingxing Disk. Zhao Hai felt the shadows in front of him shift dramatically, and he found himself back in that starry sky.
Zhao Hai did not panic. He glanced around and saw that it was indeed the starry sky he had encountered before. The constellations in the distance floated quietly, but to Zhao Hai's surprise, it seemed that there were several more constellations in the Dingxing Disk.
Glancing at those constellations, he immediately understood that they belonged to the battle suits of the three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race: the Aries battle suit, the Libra battle suit, and the Virgo holy garment.
However, Zhao Hai couldn't shake the feeling that those three constellations appeared rather gray, and the battle suits linked to them seemed to be struggling.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Dingxing, I knew you would resort to this tactic, but it won't work on me this time. Have you forgotten? I've broken through this before."
After speaking, Zhao Hai made a gesture with his hand, and the Dao Lotus appeared, heading straight for the position of the sun in the Dingxing Disk. This time, Zhao Hai exerted all his strength, and with the power of the Dao Lotus, there was a loud boom, and the illusion of the starry sky completely vanished.
Although the starry sky illusion disappeared, Zhao Hai realized that the situation was not too good. The three Elder Supremes of the otherworldly divine race seemed to have been immobilized by Dingxing using the Dingxing Disk. They stood there motionless, though their bodies trembled slightly.
