Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 1388 - 1062 An Unexpected Turn _2

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1062: An Unexpected Turn _2 Chapter 1388: Chapter 1062: An Unexpected Turn _2 The number of Peak Divine Realms in the Netherworld jumped to twenty-two, exciting and invigorating the existing Peak Divine Realms of the Netherworld.

However, at the same time, the price they paid was the eradication of again over six hundred thousand of the Netherworld’s lower Divine Realms.

By now, one-fifth plus more of the Netherworld’s five million-strong army had been annihilated, with heavy losses among the middle and upper Divine Realms.

“Is it truly worth it…?” the mood of the Tri-Eyed Emperor grew increasingly heavy.

The loss of lower Divine Realms with a six-pattern Godhood talent grew more and more numerous.

Was it really worth it to just gain a few of the most ordinary Peak Divine Realms that had refined Godhood?

He was well aware of the actual combat strength of those Peak Divine Realms that had refined Godhood.

On the surface, they were Peak Divine Realms, and their Netherworld’s number of Peak Divine Realms had reached twenty-two, which seemed very impressive.

But in a real fight against a powerful Peak Divine Realm, two of them combined might not necessarily be able to defeat their opponent.

However, in their recent battles, it had always been a group of a dozen or twenty Peak Divine Realms together, killing a single opponent, even some incredibly formidable Peak Divine Realms were quickly slain by them.

So much so that many of the Peak Divine Realms among them really believed that the Peak Divine Realms of the Spirit World’s Acquired Divine Race Empire were easy to handle, truly believing that the Peak Divine Realms of the Spirit World’s Acquired Divine Race Empire were nothing special.

This was not a good sign.

“In this war, we have only obtained eleven supreme Godhood, added eleven Peak Divine Realms, yet we have lost over one million one hundred thousand lower Divine Realms… Even if our number of Peak Divine Realms reaches fifty, we may not necessarily be stronger than the combined might of the opponent’s twenty Peak Divine Realms unless we fight in the Netherworld, where the opponent’s strength is suppressed by the laws of the Netherworld…” murmured the Tri-Eyed Emperor silently.

Just to increase by eleven Peak Divine Realms, the Netherworld lost over one million lower Divine Realms. If they were to add thirty more, how many of their Netherworld’s lower Divine Realms would remain?

True, the eradication of their Netherworld’s lower Divine Realms meant that as long as their souls returned to the Reincarnation Land of the Netherworld, they could retrieve them and turn them into lower Divine Realms again with inferior Godhood, or even use intermediate, superior, and supreme Godhood to make them into more formidable Divine Realms.

But that required them to have enough corresponding Godhood.

Now, the majority falling were their Netherworld’s lower Divine Realms. The fall of the Divine Realms from the Spirit World’s Acquired Divine Race Empire was insignificant, and the Godhood they obtained was also extremely scarce. How then could they cultivate new Divine Realms?

Likewise, even if they did manage to cultivate new Divine Realms, their combat potential, potential in general, and so on would all fall far short compared to before.

“Perhaps, we could try splitting up?” An idea flickered in the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s mind.

Originally, with only a dozen or so Peak Divine Realms, it was not so good for them to split up… But now, with twenty-two Peak Divine Realms, even if they split into two groups, each group would have eleven.

In such a case, even if they encountered a very strong Peak Divine Realm, eleven Peak Divine Realms joining forces, they could escape quickly if they couldn’t slay the opponent.

If split into two groups, two groups acting together, their efficiency would likely double. Now, it was a contest of who could wear down the other more, and thus, the effect of one plus one might be far greater than two, much like a snowball effect—a truly significant meaning.

“And besides, it’s not necessary to split into two equal groups. My Divine Eye Ability is exceptionally supportive. The side I’m with might only need another five or six Peak Divine Realms to handle most other Peak Divine Realms. Thus, the other group could have around fifteen Peak Divine Realms…” The Tri-Eyed Emperor’s eyes sparkled faintly as he mused to himself.

Fifteen Peak Divine Realms together could possibly quickly slay even the most formidable Peak Divine Realm.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

“Emperor, we’ve found another target…” Just as the Tri-Eyed Emperor was considering making such a decision, a Ghost Practitioner among the Peak Divine Realms turned to him and quickly spoke.

“Fine, let’s slay one more Peak Divine Realm, increase our number by one, and then proceed with this plan!” The Tri-Eyed Emperor paused internally, sighed softly, and thought to himself.

For each additional Peak Divine Realm on their side, the safety margin for them splitting into two groups increased.

Their target this time was a Peak Divine Realm from the Spirit World’s Acquired Divine Race Empire.

“Boom!”

Several breaths later, the twenty-two Peak Divine Realms of the Netherworld appeared again in the vast Spirit World, quickly heading toward the target location.

In less than a breath’s time, they arrived at the place.

“Kill!”

The instant they saw their opponent, the Tri-Eyed Emperor shouted loudly.

“Boom!”

Unable to withstand even a single round, their opponent’s body was blasted apart by them.

Following that, in just a breath’s time, a Peak Divine Realm had been completely eradicated by them. Everything went so smoothly.

The entourage of the Tri-Eyed Emperor, which included Peak Divine Realm Ghost Practitioners, encountered no surprises. Such events had been carried out numerous times before; for twenty-two Peak Divine Realm forces to join hands against a single Peak Divine Realm, it would be truly abnormal if the enemy could last more than two breaths.

“Gather resources! Withdraw!”

Without further ado, the Tri-Eyed Emperor commanded in a low shout.

In the Peak Divine Realm, whether in the Netherworld or the vast world of Spirits, represents the pinnacle of strength and possesses extreme speed. Moreover, with twenty-two Peak Divine Realm beings acting together, they gathered all the Divine Realm cultivation resources from this space in less than a breath’s time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

They began their withdrawal.

This process, too, was carried out with practiced ease and coordination.

“Hm?”

However, just as they had arrived at a nearby passage connecting the Spirit World and the Netherworld, which they had inspected earlier, several of their faces changed dramatically.

This passage had been destroyed.

On the other side of this passage, a large number of Divine Realm Ghost Practitioners were guarding. Moreover, the Netherworld was firmly under their control, so it was certain that this act was not perpetrated by forces from the Netherworld but from the Spirit World.

Furthermore, the destruction had been carried out so swiftly that the Divine Realm Ghost Practitioners on the Netherworld side had no time to send them information.

Moreover, this event had transpired in the span of a few breaths.

“Change location!”

Realizing that there must be enemies nearby, the Tri-Eyed Emperor did not bother to look further, nor did he have time to investigate; he immediately shouted a command.

Whether there were enemies present or not, and regardless of their strength, any further investigation was now meaningless for them.

Even if the enemies were not strong and could be eliminated instantly, killing them would just be a waste of time since the passage here was already destroyed, and they could not enter the Netherworld from this side anymore.

The correct course of action now was to rush to the next passage and leave from there.

Yet, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had an ominous feeling.

This wasn’t the first time they had encountered such a situation, but it was indeed the first since the war began.

He had long sensed that the enemy’s approach to them in this war was highly unexpected, suggesting ulterior motives.

Regrettably, the many smooth operations prior had led to complacency in their hearts.

Subconsciously, he also convinced himself that perhaps the enemy simply wanted to engage in a war of attrition with them.

Because… there were far too few high-level Divine Realm warriors in the Netherworld… He was too eager for the high-level Divine Realm warriors in the Netherworld to increase in strength…

“Damn it! I hope it’s not like this!” At this moment, the Tri-Eyed Emperor was weighed down with heavy feelings.

If all twenty-two of them, as Peak Divine Realm beings together, fell into an enemy trap and were completely annihilated, the cost would be too great.

“Had I known, I would have divided our team into two squads before this operation…” lamented the Tri-Eyed Emperor with a hint of pain in his heart.

A single misstep, a single thought could change everything. If only he had decided earlier, even if his group of Peak Divine Realm beings were wiped out, it would not result in the extinction of all the Peak Divine Realm warriors from the Netherworld.

“Perhaps, I also thought that, in case of an emergency, twenty-two Peak Divine Realm beings together would possess even greater strength…” pondered the Tri-Eyed Emperor with slight bitterness.

Every decision has its pros and cons; there were some things he had considered. Yet, carried by hope against odds… Such wishful thinking often leads to contradictory actions. Now, they were faced with precisely this dilemma.
