The cultivators who were still harboring doubts and thought that Tang Zhen was bluffing had finally given up.
Tang Zhen had already used his strength to prove that he was undeniably the Overlord of space. There was simply no cultivator who could compete with him.
If they overestimated themselves and tried to provoke him, they would have to pay the price with their lives.
With such a living example, no matter how unwilling the other cultivators were, they had no choice but to give up.
The cultivators at the top of the rankings followed the example of others and chose to "spin a cocoon around themselves" to withdraw from the competition.
The cocoon of light was an absolute defense. Once Tang Zhen launched an attack, the cultivators would have sufficient time to respond.
This was the persistence after the retreat. He retained the right to fight back at any time.
