As three ninth-tier World Beasts attacked from different directions, he summoned the Divine Kingdom in the Palm and prepared to grind them down with the Life-and-Death Furnace.

• The World Beasts fled as the bronze Primordial Origin Gate began to open, and Chen Fan sensed its origin aura stirring his Miniature Universe.
