• Star Sea Old Ancestor suspected the mirror was the legendary Void Treasure Mirror and unleashed another powerful Star Sea Dharma Seal against Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor.

The Star Sea Old Ancestor wounded the Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor, who escaped through the Void River, then fought the remaining demon and devil cultivators until they broke out of his formation. Afterward, he secured support for his alliance and negotiated with White Gold Old Dao Lord for treasure iron to advance the Sea Flood Dragon Banner.
