The Battle Was Decided!

"Retreat!"

A quarter of an hour was nearly up, yet the battle remained deadlocked. Demon Xuan Cheng, who had been pressing forward aggressively, suddenly let out a low shout.

His long spear swept across, then stabbed fiercely into the night sky. In an instant, space shattered, and a vast black hole surged into being overhead.

Dark clouds billowed as the power of heaven and earth converged around the black void. The chaotic Space Storm was instantly suppressed, and a stable Spatial Portal took shape.

Xuan Cheng withdrew, showing no hesitation as he flashed before the Spatial Portal. Yet before he could enter it, a sword blade came from the void and barred his path.

And at this moment, it was not only Demon Xuan Cheng.

The instant the Spatial Portal appeared, the demons who had already been wavering hesitated no longer. Every one of them flashed toward it, plainly presenting the sight of birds scattering when disaster struck, each fleeing for his own life!

"Azure Lotus Sword Array!"

At that very instant, accompanied by a soft chant, the sword blade stretched before the Spatial Portal—originally a solid blade—suddenly rippled and flickered.

Then, a flash of icy sword light burst forth. Like a crescent moon, it swept across before the Spatial Portal, directly forcing back the demons flying toward it.

Yet that crescent sword light did not dissipate. Instead, it split into countless tiny arcs of sword light, each of which seemed to undergo a change in form.

The sword lights, originally shaped like crescents, slowly transformed into petal shapes. One crescent moon scattered apart, and ten thousand petals descended.

Under the night sky, petals rained down, scattering across the heavens.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

The Spatial Portal was dark and deep, while petals drifted down from the sky.
