By now, he had devoured the flesh and blood of seven divine creatures. He could wield those seven divine powers.
If he devoured the Crownless King next, he would then go and challenge the King of Blood Riders. Defeat her, humiliate her, consume her. He would surely ascend to demigod status!
Just now, while facing the cyan blade light, he had been very nervous and scared. He was afraid that his strength wouldn't be enough to swallow that wild strike, afraid that his body couldn't accommodate such fierce power.
But fortunately… he managed to swallow it.
Then… there was nothing to fear! From the intelligence, it was known that was Li Ba's strongest attack, and it consumed a significant amount of divinity, not something that could be used many times.
Even if Li Ba struck a few more times, he could swallow them. How much divinity could Li Ba still have?
He had already gained the upper hand!
