In the Huaxia Corridor—one of the seven gateways between the Netherworld and the earthly realm—the guardians of the passage continued their blood-soaked struggle against the demons of the Netherworld. Days of relentless combat had left the guardians drained, with the toll of dead and wounded climbing on both sides.
Reinforcements for both the Netherworld demons and the guardians were summoned from the rear, plunging into the battle for control over the passage. The seven spatial gateways to Earth had become akin to seven meat grinders that indiscriminately pulled in more cultivators and Netherworld demons and slaughtered them without mercy.
On the secondary line of the battle within the spatial passage, Daoist Wang Lin, who had previously used a secret technique to sever himself in half to stealthily enter the earthly realm for investigation, was now lying exhausted. He had been fighting for two days and nights, to the point where he could no longer move a finger.
