Fortunately, the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, Six Paths Sword Sect, and the others did not continue their assault at this time, allowing the Divine Sect's four-layer barrier to catch its breath.

The four great sects retreated in four different directions.
"Scatter! Don't let them wipe us out in one fell swoop!"
Those powerful figures of the Life-and-Death Tribulation realm brushed past the hundreds of millions of citizens within Taiji Peak Lake.

Nine dragons coexisted. This was already the barrier's strongest state.
