Yun Yi used his breakthrough to lure foreign Celestial Beings into the violent backlash of spiritual energy vortices, while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu set out to raid their nearby bases. Yun Yi completed his breakthrough in under ten minutes, and as enemies rushed to kill him, seven powerful auras—including a Saint Ascension expert—erupted around him.
