“Within the Stone Family, it seems that only Shi Pao Xiao, who has reached the peak of the ninth rank supreme intermediate stage, has the qualification to escape from the hands of the heavenly demons. Therefore, Shi Pao Xiao has gone missing. This means that in order to escape from the heavenly demon beasts, one must at least have a cultivation level of ninth rank intermediate, and it must be one’s ability to escape alone!”
“After Shi Pao Xiao went missing, he did not appear; logically speaking, upon such an occurrence, he should have rushed to the Ye Family or the Law Enforcers immediately. However, he did not; this indicates that he either fell into the hands of the heavenly demons or is heavily injured, struggling to escape by himself.”
“So, it can be said that even a ninth rank supreme must fight desperately to escape from the heavenly demons!”
Chu Yang took a deep breath and forced a smile: “If we calculate based on this model, if my brothers and I really confront the heavenly demons, let alone the hope of victory, how many chances do we even have to escape?”
The brothers remained silent.
Chu Yang directly stated that victory was hopeless, and even the chance of escape was extremely slim. This was no baseless claim; based on the information currently available, if the two sides truly met, it was likely that none of them, not even Chu Yang, the nine calamity sword master, would escape!
“To the eyes of mortals, the power of the otherworldly demons has reached a terrifying extreme, but I still feel that this so-called heavenly demon is somewhat weak, right?!”
Gu Duxing frowned, saying, “Since the heavenly demons can engage with the powerful beings of Heaven's Gate, it stands to reason that destroying the Nine Heavens Continent should be a piece of cake. Not to say it’s as easy as flipping a hand, but it’s close… Yet now they have only destroyed the Stone Family and allowed Shi Pao Xiao to escape. This level of strength cannot truly be invincible!”
“After all, this is the Nine Heavens Continent, not the Nine Heavens Pavilion. If the heavenly demons could come and go freely, this place would have long since ceased to exist.”
Mo Tianji remarked, “So, the heavenly demon that has come is definitely not an ordinary character. After arriving, it acted immediately and obliterated the Stone Family… allowing Shi Pao Xiao to escape… Should we understand it this way: this heavenly demon is very likely heavily injured? It may even have been knocked down? Or perhaps it bears injuries that are difficult to recover from? Hence the consequences?”
“If we deduce along this line of reasoning, its killing should not necessarily be to showcase its demon might, but rather to heal its wounds? Or something else?”
“Continuing with this line of thought, what level of strength should one possess to be able to injure it? The current injured heavenly demon, though its strength has diminished, how much of its full strength remains?”
Mo Tianji furrowed his brows, continuing to unravel the tangled threads, slowly sorting through the sequence of events: “If it has slaughtered many beings, can it recover its injuries here, and to what extent can it recuperate? Therefore, if we want to eliminate it, we can only seize the opportunity before it recovers and act quickly. But how can we kill such an enemy? Retreat will undoubtedly lead to death, and advancing may not guarantee survival. Thus, we are indeed in a dilemma.”
Chu Yang’s brows furrowed tighter.
Mo Tianji’s words gradually clarified the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Although it had not been confirmed, Chu Yang still believed: the reality was, more often than not, as Mo Tianji described!
Even if there were slight discrepancies, the overall direction was undoubtedly correct.
“To reach the upper three heavens and even the entire Nine Heavens, one must pass through the Nine Heavens Pavilion, as well as navigate through chaotic time and space currents,” Chu Yang stated. “Unless unexpected occurrences happen, even the heavenly demon king could not easily arrive here! Thus, the arrival of this heavenly demon was entirely accidental, but this accident poses a catastrophe for the entire Nine Heavens.”
