Today's fourth update: Chapter 3484! 4/4!
But that attack had taken place in the Beast Domain adjacent to the Phoenix Domain. To the Phoenix Lord's incarnation stationed at the Nine Heavens Phoenix Tree, it had been practically within arm's reach.
Yet by the time the Phoenix Lord's incarnation tore through space and arrived, the battlefield had been reduced to a deathly silent ruin, with only the lingering aftermath of destructive energy yet to dissipate.
