The outcome was that no matter how pitiful Zhou Tian appeared, utilizing the Demonic Slaying Weapon in his hands, he did not suffer an easy defeat. Thus, even if it was merely a matter of stubborn resistance, as long as Zhou Tian didn't fall, that powerful adversary had no way to defeat him.
As long as Zhou Tian did not face defeat in a short time, he could certainly afford to drag out the battle, waiting until he had digested the Territories he had annexed. By then, upon becoming an Emperor-level Monster, although it wasn't certain he would have the ability to confront the opponent, it was believed that at that time, at the very least, Zhou Tian would no longer be as powerless in the face of that powerful adversary's attacks as he was at present.
