Chapter 2620: Chapter 829_2
At that time, Zhou Tian’s attacks didn’t seem particularly eye-catching, but when those attacks kept coming towards him, the Space God King did not dare to be careless while defending. Although it couldn’t be said that he went all out, in truth, he had already put some effort into blocking those attacks.
"Truly formidable!"
The Space God King had long been prepared for Zhou Tian’s performance. Although it was the first time he faced Zhou Tian’s attacks in full bloom, he had witnessed the power of the Divine Emperor Artifact before. Therefore, once Zhou Tian became the Time God King, the Space God King anticipated the day he would be attacked by Zhou Tian like this. Thus, even though the performance of Zhou Tian and the Undead God King in the Treasure Space was strong, everything actually did not exceed his expectations.
Conversely, although the Undead God King was the one receiving empowerment, after feeling the change in his own strength, he was rather surprised at that time.
While the reputation of the Divine Emperor Artifact was very prominent, very few deities had truly witnessed its power. Obviously, the Undead God King had not seen the power of the Divine Emperor Artifact either. So when he personally experienced the effect of the Divine Emperor Artifact empowering him, he inevitably felt a wave of surprise.
The Divine Emperor Artifact was much stronger than he had imagined. Originally, although the Undead God King had heard some news related to the Divine Emperor Artifact in Zhou Tian’s possession, the information he obtained was not much. Thus, even though he knew the Divine Emperor Artifact could enhance his strength, after truly feeling his strength change within the Treasure Space, the Undead God King still couldn’t help but be surprised.
Though his cultivation level didn’t double, the Undead God King felt as if his strength had increased several times while fighting in the Treasure Space. And in that situation at the time, even without Zhou Tian’s help, the Undead God King had the confidence to face the Space God King alone.
Sensing the powerful effect of the Divine Emperor Artifact, even with the temperament of the Undead God King, he couldn’t help but develop greed at that moment. After all, the power of the Divine Emperor Artifact wasn’t something typical deities could resist, able to enhance a Divine King’s combat power severalfold. Having such strength meant any Divine King could achieve an extremely high status.
However, the greed of the Undead God King was fleeting, and soon after the thought emerged, he dismissed it entirely.
The Undead God King was well aware that before Zhou Tian became a Divine King, upon learning he had a Divine Emperor Artifact, he might have had some hope of snatching it. But now that Zhou Tian had become the Time God King, the Undead God King knew his chances of acquiring the Divine Emperor Artifact were exceedingly slim.
It could even be said, if he dared to take any action in that regard, he would inevitably face a fatal end under Zhou Tian’s counterattack.
Aware of the situation at the time, the Undead God King knew not to take any rash actions.
The Undead God King understood well that he didn’t have the qualification to compete with Zhou Tian for the Divine Emperor Artifact. Not only was Zhou Tian’s current strength already above his, but given the power of the Divine Emperor Artifact, it was destined that Zhou Tian’s strength in the Treasure Space would be several times stronger than other deities of the same level. Even if he could feel his strength had increased significantly, once he clashed with Zhou Tian, he would have to face Zhou Tian, who had become so much stronger. As long as he remained calm and thought about it, the Undead God King knew that he stood no chance of winning.
Although the Undead God King developed greed, he hadn’t lost his rationality, so after calming down, he quickly assessed the gap between himself and Zhou Tian. Even reluctantly, he realized that he was incapable of overpowering Zhou Tian.
Thus, after having such thoughts, the Undead God King dismissed the trace of greed that had just emerged in his heart.
However, despite completely suppressing his greed for the Divine Emperor Artifact at the time, due to past experiences, the Undead God King’s gaze towards Zhou Tian had noticeably changed.
Zhou Tian’s current strength was already above the Undead God King’s, and in such circumstances, with the help of the Divine Emperor Artifact, it seemed unlikely that the gap between him and Zhou Tian could be shortened.
Without a doubt, once he perceived all that, even if he felt somewhat uncomfortable, the Undead God King clearly recognized that Zhou Tian now had a higher status than him.
As it became clear that he couldn’t possibly defeat Zhou Tian, the Undead God King knew it was time to adjust his relationship with Zhou Tian.
