When he exited the treasure space, Zhou Tian distinctly sensed a powerful intent to fight enveloping the entire battlefield. Although its aura hadn't fully manifested, just from the battle intent, Zhou Tian could already sense the decision of that Divine King.
So, if nothing unexpected happened at that time, that Divine King was probably already determined to attack Zhou Tian's side.
However, although Zhou Tian did not expect the opponent's action to be so swift, when he discovered that the Divine King had taken action, he wasn't surprised by the opponent's reaction. Or to put it directly, although the Divine King's response was somewhat sudden at that time, it was not something unacceptable.
Zhou Tian didn't know what that Divine King originally thought, but regardless of his initial plan, after seeing Zhou Tian's series of performances, anyone with a bit of intelligence would have felt the threat Zhou Tian posed to his plan.
