This was indeed the true thought in Tao Tie's mind...
Though the Earth Talisman is good, he couldn't let Hu Haoran go now to directly chase after the Earth Talisman.
Back in the Kyushu Black Prison, he had originally grown to the Eleventh Stage but was severely injured by a Twelfth Stage Star Alliance Wanderer, forcing him to use the secret technique of the Gluttonous Ogre Battle Clan to rebirth in a new body, dropping his power to the Higher Eighth Stage.
This feeling of falling from heaven to hell was truly unpleasant.
Nobody knew how much hardship Tao Tie endured after leaving the Kyushu Black Prison, wandering here.
Even so, his strength only recovered to the Higher Ninth Stage.
Although the Gluttonous Ogre Battle Clan possesses this unique technique of devouring to evolve, the targets of devouring can only be those weaker than oneself, otherwise, there might be backlash, with unpredictable consequences.
