Chapter 781 The Pressure Intensified

In the palace, the City Lord of Bliss and Li Xiaotian flew towards the depths of the palace, one after the other. Along the way, Li Xiaotian seized the opportunity to refine the crystal eye, a mid-tier Saint Soldier. This was something that could immediately increase his combat power.

Moreover, the function of the crystal eye was sealing, which perfectly compensated for his weakness. With this, coupled with his Devouring Great Dao, he was confident he could instantly kill all existences below the mid-tier.

Even if he encountered a strong opponent like Huntu again, he would have the confidence to annihilate them within a few moves.

"That wisp of Great Dao power appears every time, but no one has obtained it yet. Therefore, this time, even if I defeat all my opponents, I might not be able to achieve my goal," the City Lord of Bliss suddenly transmitted to Li Xiaotian, his tone laced with worry.

"Why? Does that wisp of Great Dao power possess the will of its previous owner?" Li Xiaotian asked, having pondered this matter before.

The Great Dao power had existed in the blood lake for countless years. The palace opened once every hundred years. Logically, it should have been obtained by someone long ago, but it still remained here. This was somewhat abnormal.

"It has no will. If it did, no one would dare to snatch it. However, it is the Great Dao power of a high-tier expert, and it will retaliate autonomously. It possesses the strength of an invincible Rank Six. Even if ordinary people encounter it, it is difficult to suppress it," the City Lord of Bliss explained, then continued.

"However, I am well-prepared and have means to suppress it."

"But, I must go all out. At that time, I might not have the energy to deal with others, so Motian, the pressure you face will likely be no less than mine."

Li Xiaotian opened his mouth upon hearing this. The two had already discussed that the City Lord of Bliss would seize the Great Dao power, while Li Xiaotian would block others.

But the City Lord had not informed him that the Great Dao power would retaliate, equivalent to an invincible Rank Six expert.

This meant that the City Lord of Bliss would have to focus all his efforts on suppressing the Great Dao power, while Li Xiaotian would have to deal with all other opponents.

Two invincible mid-tiers and four invincible low-tiers. Li Xiaotian felt a pang of fear. He should be able to handle it, right?

Unfortunately, he couldn't reveal his devouring power. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel any pressure from these opponents.

Two figures flashed in Li Xiaotian's mind: Tian Mie of the Dragon-human race, peak Rank Four, but likely Rank Five, and the old man of the Human race, Gui Lie, mid-Rank Four.

His main targets were these two. As for the other invincible low-tiers, he didn't need to pay attention to them for the time being.

"I'll go for it!" Li Xiaotian gritted his teeth, for the sake of his Indestructible Body.

Moreover, Tian Mie's strength was not weak. Logically, it should be enough to put him under pressure, but what if? If Gui Lie was added, he would definitely achieve his Indestructible Body.

Of course, the pressure was sufficient, and the danger was also extremely high. With just a slight mistake, he would be exposed.

"But you don't have to worry. If it's impossible, I will give up the Great Dao power. At that time, I will provide support and help you break through," the City Lord of Bliss suddenly said.

This left Li Xiaotian somewhat perplexed. This was an opportunity to break through to a high-tier, and the other party was willing to give it up?

He looked at the City Lord of Bliss's retreating back, a complex glint in his eyes. What kind of existence was the organization of the Demigod race? He and the City Lord of Bliss had only just met. The City Lord had first helped him kill Huntu, and then given him a mid-tier Saint Soldier. This level of care was too thorough.

It made him feel a little embarrassed to deceive the other party.

Of course, this feeling was merely a fleeting thought. He certainly wouldn't reveal his identity to the City Lord of Bliss. Doing so would be pure madness.

"Boom boom boom!"

A burst of combat sounds suddenly came. Li Xiaotian immediately regained his senses, his eyes shining with brilliance. They had arrived!

Ahead was a large hall. A blood-red figure was being besieged by Tian Mie and a few others. Terrifying auras permeated the surroundings.

That blood-red figure was the Great Dao power of the high-tier expert.

"Kill!" The City Lord of Bliss directly joined the fray, unleashing a punch towards the Great Dao power.

To seize the Great Dao power, two steps were needed: first, shatter its body, and then suppress and subdue it.

Therefore, everyone was currently besieging it, and their interactions appeared peaceful.

Li Xiaotian also joined the battle. However, his expression turned somewhat grim as soon as he made his move.

Apart from himself and the City Lord of Bliss, there were four other people in the field. The number was smaller than before, implying that two low-tier experts had either left or perished.

But the critical point was that among these four, there were three mid-tier experts, with one more besides Tian Mie and Gui Lie.

The pressure had increased even further.
