If there were no accidents, even if Dao Venerable Lei Ting couldn't defeat Emperor Zhenwu, he was still confident in escaping from Emperor Zhenwu's grasp. Indeed, Emperor Zhenwu's combat power was terrifying, especially since the power of the Immortal Realm had arrived in these years, elevating his strength to a level Dao Venerable Lei Ting felt he couldn't reach.
But that was just combat strength.
If Dao Venerable Lei Ting truly intended to flee, he was confident that Emperor Zhenwu couldn't stop him, especially in a new, unfamiliar world.
As long as he could escape, then he would have time to consume Su Yu's Immortal Root Spirit Plant Dao body, and transform his own.
He was confident that if he could overcome that step and complete his transformation,
By that point, he would be fearless even against Emperor Zhenwu.
This was Dao Venerable Lei Ting's thought.
Opportunities come in an instant, and he didn't want to miss it.
