C864 The Strength of a Great Demon(last Part)

This alone was enough for Lin Cheng to conclude that the devil had yet to recover to its peak. Not only was it not at its peak, but it was still far away from its peak.

This suited the style of those sects, and also the cowardly nature of those people who were afraid of death.

However, since the devil had yet to recover to its peak, why did those sects and those self-proclaimed rulers of Dongzhou not suppress it, but think that they were retreating?

It was true that that devil was able to cultivate a large number of Expert of Divine Ability Stages. However, in front of a powerful being, a Divine Ability Stage cultivator... It was not worth mentioning at all. Perhaps, the remaining power of the intense battle between two powerful beings... And, this was a mighty figure that had concealed his aura.

If it was Lin Cheng who was fighting the mighty being from the Myriad Sword Sect whose name he didn't know, even those mighty beings who had concealed their aura wouldn't dare to approach him, let alone the Divine Ability Stage cultivator.

Therefore, Lin Cheng concluded that what those sects and mighty beings feared wasn't the Divine Ability Stage cultivator from the Celestial Devil Sect, but the devil.

In that case, the devil must be an existence that could threaten them.

Therefore, from the looks of it, that devil's strength must be enough to force those major powers to be unable to conceal their aura. Once they exchanged blows, they would definitely have to go all out. This might not even be enough. However, it had yet to reach the Supreme Being Realm.

Therefore, according to Lin Cheng's deduction, the current devil should be between a supreme being and a supreme being, which meant that it had the combat strength of a Half-step Sovereign.

This was the only way that those mighty beings could stop the Great Devil once, because they had realized the strength of the Great Devil and knew that they were no match for it.

However, the devil's strength hadn't reached the supreme being realm yet. By relying on the Mountain-protecting Great Array of the sect, as well as the foundation accumulated over the past thousands of years, they were able to resist the great devil. At least, he should be able to resist it in a short period of time.

Therefore, those sects didn't flee from Dongzhou in a hurry.

From this, it could be seen that the threat of the Great Devil to these sects wasn't as big as Lin Cheng had imagined. At least, it wouldn't be as big in a short period of time.

If it was said that the devil could recover to its peak state in a short period of time... Those sects wouldn't be able to live in peace. They were afraid that they would be in a state of panic a long time ago. In fact, they had even started to flee Dongzhou. Why would they have the time to attack him?

As for the Prefecture Boundary that was sealed by the Cultivation Realm in the other provinces, it might be an insurmountable danger to ordinary people. It could even be said to be a dead end, but for the sects in the Cultivation Realm, it was a dead end. That was not the case.

If the powerful experts of those sects, especially those almighty experts, were really chased by a ferocious devil behind them... At that time, they would not consider whether or not a great war would break out in Cultivation Realm. They would definitely pass through Prefecture Boundary at all costs. No matter who the person blocking their path was, they wouldn't stop.

At that time, if the Cultivation Realm of the other provinces were still sealing off Prefecture Boundary, the experts of Dongzhou would definitely go crazy and fight with all their might.

They were afraid of death when facing a great devil. They didn't have the courage to do so. However, if they were to face the cultivator of the Nine-prefecture Continent, it would be completely different. At this moment, they would become incomparably ferocious, fearless of death. They could even treat the disciples of the sect as their men of sacrifice, charging towards the Prefecture Boundary one after another.

Therefore, from this, Lin Cheng had a vague and clear judgment about that devil. It was very likely that the devil was between the peak of the almighty realm and the Half-step Sovereign. Of course... It could also be the realm of the Almighties, or at least this realm. Otherwise, when he was still in Devil-suppressing Cliff, those experts from the other sects would have already suppressed him. They wouldn't have waited until today.

Not to mention, when the Great Devil escaped from the Devil-suppressing Cliff, many experts from the Dongzhou had even fought with the Great Devil.

Of course, the highest realm of the devil was the Half-step Sovereign. This could be seen from the reactions of the major powers in the Dongzhou, especially the major powers.

To Lin Cheng, he was more inclined to believe that the devil might not have reached the Half-step Sovereign. At least, when he escaped from Devil-suppressing Cliff, the devil should not have reached the Half-step Sovereign yet. Otherwise, no matter how much the devil claimed that it wasn't an enemy of the Cultivation Realm. At least, the people of those sects wouldn't dare to come out and do anything.

Not only that, in the eyes of those sects and those powerful beings, not only had that devil not yet reached the Supreme Being Realm, it might not even have an obvious increase in strength in a short period of time. If it wasn't for that, that devil would have been staying in Boundless Forest for a very long time. How could those sects still not leave?

It was obvious that they had used some kind of method or evidence to determine that the devil wouldn't recover so quickly. As for the evidence of those sects, Lin Cheng had no idea.

However, there was one thing that Lin Cheng was sure of. At least, those powerful experts had a certain amount of confidence in their judgment. If not, perhaps the devil was only between a supreme expert and a Half-step Sovereign when he left Devil-suppressing Cliff. If a period of time passed, the devil would recover very quickly. In an instant, he broke through to the Half-step Sovereign Stage, and even reached the Supreme Being Realm. How could those almighty experts dare to leave the sect?

Furthermore, how could those almighty experts and the higher ups of those sects continue to stay in the Dongzhou?

With their style of doing things and cowardly behavior, they would have long gone to Prefecture Boundary to fight with the experts of the other provinces!

One should know that those who came to attack Lin Cheng this time... The rest were... They were all half-step mighty experts, except for the one who appeared later in the Myriad Sword Sect, who was still at his peak. Almost no one dared to unleash their full power. If that wasn't the case... Those mighty experts wouldn't have been forced to retreat by Lin Cheng so easily.

However, even after coming to this conclusion, Lin Cheng still didn't feel too relaxed in his heart. After all, this was only his judgment. He could only say that the possibility of this was very high. However, he couldn't guarantee it completely, because all of his judgment was based on the reactions of those sects and those experts.

If those sects and superpowers were overly confident and optimistic, they would greatly underestimate the recovery speed of that great demon. Or rather, there was a problem with the judgment of those superpowers. Lin Cheng had come to a conclusion based on their actions and reactions. Naturally, there was a problem.

This was one of the reasons why Lin Cheng was worried. Apart from that, Lin Cheng also had another doubt, or rather, he was worried about something else.0

Boundless Forest!

Why did that devil settle down in Boundless Forest instead of somewhere else in Dongzhou?

One should know that Dongzhou was extremely huge, and could be said to be boundlessly vast. There were countless secret realms left behind by the Ancient Times alone. As for those heavenly paradises... There were even more holy lands for cultivation. Not to mention Lin Cheng, perhaps even the higher ups and the higher ups of the sects couldn't explain it clearly. Every sect might have a holy land for cultivation that no one else knew about, and there might be many places in the Dongzhou that no one else had discovered...

Then, why did that devil choose to go to Boundless Forest?

In Lin Cheng's opinion, there were only two possibilities. First, there was something or luck that the devil needed in Boundless Forest. It was heading to Boundless Forest. It was to find that thing. This was the thing that Lin Cheng had just heard about the devil's whereabouts in Boundless Forest. This thought immediately flashed across his mind.

If Lin Cheng was the devil, then it would be the best choice. Without a doubt, it would be to go to the other provinces and rescue the suppressed devil. When the Nine Great Devils joined forces, how many people in Nine-prefecture Continent would be able to stop them?

Currently, the Nine-prefecture Continent didn't have as many supreme beings as the Ancient Times, so it was naturally impossible for them to fight those devils. Under the circumstances where no one could suppress those devils, they were invincible in the Nine-prefecture Continent.

However, that great devil didn't do so, which gave the second possibility... Perhaps the great devil didn't know that it was suppressing its own kind in the other provinces, or perhaps... The devil had gone to Boundless Forest to save the other devils.

However, no matter which possibility it was, Lin Cheng had no idea. In his point of view, it was very likely that those major powers didn't know about it either. Perhaps some major powers or some people had such doubts in their hearts. But... No one would dare to go and investigate.

This was another factor that made Lin Cheng uneasy. At the same time, he was also extremely curious and even doubtful.

What was that devil looking for?

Or more directly, what was the purpose of the devil heading to Boundless Forest?

Lin Cheng had once speculated that he had never thoroughly investigated the Boundless Forest before. Because at that time, he was just a tiny Cultivating Warrior, even if it was a Core Sea Stage cultivator. At that time, the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivator was still in the Boundless Forest. Therefore, after obtaining the Blue Fire, he only wanted to escape as soon as possible.

However, the Boundless Forbidden Land in the Boundless Forest had left the deepest impression on him. At the bottom, there was a cold pond. It was Lin Cheng's Blue Fire. It was obtained from the cold pond, but the cold pond was extremely cold. Even the elder of the Dongzhou College, Shui Hui, who was once a cultivator, did not dare to easily investigate and come into contact with it. She could only use those students as sacrificial warriors.

Lin Cheng had long suspected that there might be something in the cold pond, but he didn't know what it was. What he suspected now was whether the great devil was heading towards the cold pond.
