Chapter 143

Azmodeus remembered how much Pan Nu struggled to dismount the wolf, attributing it to her strength being constrained to the Mortal Realm by the Astral Plane's Laws.
Which was all to say that the rest of the participants were likely no different when it came to their power reductions.
And then there was Azmodeus, the Unparalleled Crimson Devil Lord…
It looks like I'm likely the only one among all those taking the Astral Leap who started off above the Mortal Realm.
This thought of his was indeed correct, as not a single other participant possessed the necessary combat power to ascend past the Mortal Realm after the power reduction.
