It's precisely because of the absolute confidence in their side that, after suffering a small loss at the hands of Zhou Tian, those forces were not deterred. Instead, while Zhou Tian's attack continued, those forces, after a brief negotiation, initiated new actions.
In that situation, although it seemed for a moment that Zhou Tian had gained the upper hand, both Zhou Tian and those forces were well aware that, in terms of sheer power, Zhou Tian could not possibly be their opponent. So under those circumstances, while they paid attention to Zhou Tian's defense, they certainly felt no fear.
Thus, although Zhou Tian's attack had some effect, those deities soon made new moves after realizing the situation.
