Western Quadrant:
Di Tian opened his eyes. In a moment, his eyes saw every corner of the battlefield; with his power, only a few individuals could hide from him, and only two people or groups could do it if he went all out.
'Wang Wei has been making a lot of moves,' he thought. He was not surprised by this fact; it could be said he anticipated this outcome. Wang Wei's nature and Dao indicated he would manipulate people from the shadows for his benefit.
So, Di Tian's fundamental tactic for this battle took this into account.
'He is a Dao Overlord, so I won't be able to outwit him–even with my experience,' he analyzed. Since he knew and admitted this fact, Di Tian knew it would be pointless to act the same way as Wang Wei.
'The purpose of his manipulation is to give him small advantages, advantages that can give him a slight edge or reverse the situation at the last minute.'
If two people have similar strengths, the small advantages are enough to give one person the advantage.
'It's pointless to try to compete with him in the area of intelligence and cunningness,' continued Di Tian. 'So, there are two ways to deal with the situation: always be on the lookout for his small advantages; with enough precautions, they will become useless.
'Second, closely observe his actions and intervene when necessary to prevent him from gaining too much advantage.'
His gaze focused on the Central Quadrant, the battlefield between Mo Xingyun and Wang Ju. A terrifying power blocked his vision; he knew he could not see what was inside unless he mobilized all his power. And even then, it might not succeed.
'Mo Xingyun…the Heaven-Devouring Emperor.'
Di Tian was not surprised by the latter's presence. All his failures during his Nine Extremity Foundation involved one Eternal Emperor or another. So, he was not surprised when the Heaven-Devouring Emperor showed up in the form of body possession.
In some ways, he has karmic connections to all the Myriad Emperor World's Eternal Emperors since the Ancient Emperor Era.
Di Tian did not dwell long on the subject before focusing on the Eastern Quadrant, where Wang Wei's group is located. And once again, he discovered the same power obstructed his vision.
He wondered whether Wang Wei and Huo Fenghuang would enter an alliance. Di Tian worried his enemy would acquire another supreme general. An alliance of this magnitude is enough to shift the balance of the war in Wang Wei's favor.
'What exactly are they discussing? Should I be more forceful and try every means to break the blockage?' His mind worked faster than any quantum computer analyzing the situation.
Di Tian did not know their conversation was not technically something he could not know. However, Wang Wei actively blocked him for a reason. He had already planted the seed in Di Tian's mind not to kill him since he would be useful as a subordinate to help him gather merit.
His idea of reverting the environment to innate is a great idea to gather a large amount of merit. So, Wang Wei did not want to reveal such information and reduce his value.
Although Di Tian will immediately know once he leaves the battlefield, Wang Wei only cares about the present. If Di Tian knew about this idea, he might think Wang Wei's value had diminished and decided to eradicate him.
After all, it's an extremely dangerous thing to keep a Dao Overlord as a subordinate or slave–especially one that used to be the enemy.
So, Wang Wei did not want Di Tian's mindset to change by the tiniest amount and affect his battle strategy for this battle.
Di Tian continued his observation of the Eastern Quadrant. Although he did not know Wang Wei's objective, he knew the latter's actions had a deeper meaning behind them. So, he analyzed a few possibilities and prepared for them.
Then, he focused on analyzing Wang Wei's power based on the blocking methods he used in these locations.
'How did he break the limit and reach Ten Supremacy? Did he have another Limit Breaker? Did Empress Wu give him one?'
After seeing Wang Wei at the entrance of the battlefield, he knew the latter was the same as him and achieved Ten Supremacy; to be precise, he confirmed his suspicions after hearing about the Divine Thunder Punishment that appeared above the Dao Opening Sect a while ago.
Regardless, he wondered how he did it.
'His aura is slightly different from mine, so he must have used another method.'
Di Tian secretly sighed; he was awed and jealous–he wished for anything else in the world to be a Dao Overlord.
He took a moment to remove all these distracting thoughts, ensuring his mind was at its peak.
'It doesn't matter whether he has achieved Ten Supremacy since I have a major advantage over–Nine Pillar's inheritance.'
The Empyrean Nine Pillar was obsessed with the Ten Supremacy Foundation and spent countless Yuan Epochs researching it. As such, although he never achieved it, he created many ideas and theories regarding that level.
