Chapter Summaries

After filtering out Death Aura, he strengthened his Spiritual Apertures and left the tower with his misgivings intact.

• Long Haochen sensed that the Tower of Eternity had lured Samikina into a clash, devoured power from his domain, and escaped the seven Demon Gods’ attack to avoid spending more energy than it had gained.
