The Void Competition was incredibly sacred.
However, sacred things were relative, and there were also exceptions.
Now, Zhou Bao had already defeated all of the practitioners of South China. Although the Human Emperor Yan Yuntian had not announced Zhou Bao's victory, even an idiot would have known who won.
The winner was decided at the end of the battle. The battle in the hollow arena was over, and so no one could attack Zhou Bao unless he issued another challenge. But it seemed this giant claw in the sky did not care at all for this rule, and it was clear that it wanted to kill Zhou Bao right away. Otherwise, it would not have broken open the hollow so noiselessly and come so suddenly for him.
