Takamagahara was a subspace.
It could also be regarded as a typical Eastern-style plane, with a round sky and square earth.

Dim purple light flowed through the gaps, while scarlet lightning coiled around the horns.
As its majestic dragon eyes swept across the sea of clouds and the earth below—
A soul-crushing pressure
