Crack!
Terrible sounds of breaking or twisting metals emanated from Li Jun's body after ending the transformation. His face became pale, and his crimson hair appeared duller with less vitality.
Li Jun did not waste time popping a few pills into his mouth, alleviating his symptoms.
"The repercussions were harsher than I thought," he muttered. If not for entering the Primordial Dragon Realm, his body would have collapsed after using such tremendous power beyond his limit.
'If I had the Asura Clan's bloodline in my possession, I could elevate this technique to a higher level and reduce the side effects,' he sighed with regret.
After stabilizing his situation, he glanced at the other battlefields, checking out the situation of the others.
'I was worried about Tie Gang. However, his ruthless approach seemed to have worked.'
He checked everybody else, including his wife.
'This little girl,' he smiled wryly before checking on the most important person.
'Wang Ju is almost ready. I must prepare to proceed with the next step.'
Li Jun sat cross-legged in the void, entering a deep state of meditation to accelerate his healing.
Western Quadrant:
Di Tian watched Di Jiaying's act of cowardness and betrayal. His expression did not change but hidden deep in his eyes was anger and the sense he had expected this.
He glanced at the other battles.
'None of this would have happened if my Sleepers were intact.'
His Sleepers contained countless talented individuals with unique souls after countless baptisms through Samsara. With his training, they would be the perfect generals, willing to sacrifice anything for him.
Di Tian controlled his emotions as he returned to a calm state:
'My original plan was to use these people to set up a formation that gave me a boost in the fight with Wang Wei,' contemplated Di Tian, who knew things would not proceed as he wished with Di Jiaying's departure.
'There is a chance Wang Wei's plan is similar. So, should I kill them before our battle?'
However, as soon as these ideas entered his mind, he removed them as he sensed a gaze locking him, ready to react to the slightest movement.
'Forget it. I need to prepare in case of an overwhelming defeat.'
Eastern Quadrant:
Wang Wei watched the result of Li Jun's battle, and a smile appeared on his handsome and charming face. Many people of his generation paid little to no attention to the importance of a great general–even to the end.
And many people started paying attention to such an advantage after Li Jun began to display his talent. However, he started cultivating his team before he started cultivating.
He knew the role a potent general could play in such a battle and prepared very early. One of the reasons he destroyed Di Tian's Sleepers was to prevent the latter from cultivating generals on the level of Li Jun and the others.
'One of the best decisions I made was to eliminate the threat of the Sleepers,' thought Wang Wei. His act allowed him to acquire the most powerful information-gathering force in the Myriad Emperor World.
Simultaneously, he also removed Di Tian's right arm and left leg. Di Jiaying's betrayal is the result of Di Tian rushing to create generals without a solid foundation of trust and loyalty.
'For someone like me, such a group of loose sands is nothing but a major flaw,' thought Wang Wei as he observed the battle–focusing on the weak link, Tie Gang.
Although a little worried, he believed in his men's capability.
'Soon, the culmination of all my years of hard work will come to fruition. And once the plan succeeds, my chances of winning will increase between one to ten percent.'
Earth Dimension:
Cai Song was looking at the Terracotta Warrior before her with fascination. The thing resembled a statue, with only the destruction in the surroundings as an indication of its destructive capabilities.
Sadly, it was matched with the worst opponent possible. Cai Song's talent for puppetry was unparalleled. And after acquiring Chen Chen's soul, she gained new knowledge, talent, and world view about puppetry.
So, in a very short period, she found a way to shut down this weapon of destruction.
'This puppet has almost broken the boundary between inanimate objects and sentient beings; it can almost be considered a new life form,' thought Cai Song with shining eyes.
'The material is something I've never seen or heard about before. Is it from another World Community? But how is that possible? The Human Emperor was from this world.
