Lower-level ruins.
Amid the dense Yanhuang Underworld Essence sludge lay one bubble-like "cavern paradise" after another.
The social gathering previously held by some geniuses from the Ten Desolate Star Furnaces had, in fact, taken place in one such cavern paradise.
Over the years, more and more Eightfold Gods geniuses had opened up territory within the cavern paradises of these lower-level ruins, building residences, palaces, and protective formations, gradually turning the entire lower-level ruins into a fortress belonging to them.
Given enough time, these lower-level ruins would become their territory!
In the ten years since Li Tianming's return, the more than three hundred thousand Eightfold Gods had never ceased their land-grabbing. They had brought countless formation embryos here and unleashed them, even using the Yanhuang Underworld Essence to erect stellar guardian formations.
Among them, the greatest number of formations had naturally been established around the entrance to the Ancient Eternal Sands in the lower-level ruins.
That's right!
The entrance to the Ancient Eternal Sands within these lower-level ruins had already been occupied by the Eightfold Gods.
They had set down countless formations nearby while stationing more than a hundred thousand Eightfold Gods geniuses here, constructing a heavily defended fortress.
If any disciples of the Ancient Eternal Sands came in again, even merely to investigate, they would be slaughtered in the chaos.
This meant that this public area had completely ceased to have anything to do with the Ancient Eternal Sands.
With a hundred thousand genius Eonic Gods guarding it, not even a fly could get through.
These hundred thousand genius Eonic Gods from the various Star Furnaces took turns standing watch, keeping their eyes fixed on the entrance to the Ancient Eternal Sands at all times.
And this year, the ones responsible for the rotation were the Warring Heaven God Clan
