A life-and-death battle unfolded within the space of the Glazed Glass Tower Department, yet the Great Inspirational King, being a ruler of a region himself as a Demon King, spared no expense in using his mana. Suddenly, huge waves appeared out of thin air, altering the environment and creating a lake within the space.
Regrettably, the space remained chaotic, and the water he summoned only dwindled with time. The Demon King dove into the water, but the Beast of Calamity, not skilled in swimming, could only quietly guard the perimeter.
The mysterious forces within the space constantly eroded their powers, preventing either side from entangling too deeply. As time passed, both sides lowered their flags and ceased drumming, silently protecting their own territories.
Several days later, thousands of miles north of the Tongtian River, in a forest, a young Daoist priest with delicate features staggered out of the thicket, looking around before letting out a sigh of relief.
