"I doubt your traps can last for long!"
After all, none of the Ancient Powerful Beings were weaklings; although during combat with Zhou Tian, it was rare for these beings to gain any advantage. However, this doesn't imply that they were frail. Such a situation only arose because Zhou Tian was stronger than his opponents.
Putting aside combat ability for the moment, just in terms of Experience, these Ancient Powerful Beings might even surpass Zhou Tian.
Thus, when Zhou Tian's previously laid Traps earned him Merit, those Ancient Powerful Beings first felt Unhappy, and then when they launched their second wave of attacks, they had already discerned the Weakness in Zhou Tian's Deployment.
Indeed, though the Traps laid out by Zhou Tian seemed effective in weakening the attacks of these Ancient Powerful Beings, as long as these Traps were in place, Zhou Tian truly didn't need to worry about their assaults anymore.
