Several days later.
Inside the grand hall of Cloud Sea Immortal City.
Cultivators gathered like clouds.
"In this battle against the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race, we human cultivators won a sweeping victory."
"We killed five Fifth-Tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Race members, more than fifty Fourth Order members, and over a thousand below the Fourth Order."
"On the human cultivators' side, one Soul Transformation cultivator died in battle, along with ten Nascent Soul cultivators and over two hundred other cultivators, while more than three hundred were injured."
"Cloud Sea Immortal City will grant the highest standard of rewards to these dead and injured human cultivators."
"Furthermore, we destroyed the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race's ancestral artifact, the Sixth-Tier high-grade Blood Eye, removing a major hidden danger for our Human race."
"Otherwise, had the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race successfully condensed their altar, it would have posed an enormous crisis for Cloud Sea Immortal City."
"Overall, this was the greatest victory since we began exploring the Youyun Star Domain."
City Lord Chen's gaze swept across the crowd. His expression was solemn, yet it carried a trace of delight.
After this battle, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race had suffered a severe blow to their vitality. It would be much easier to eradicate them completely next.
"Now, I will distribute rewards according to merit."
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, City Lord Chen spoke again.
The human cultivators had suffered considerable casualties this time, and the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat heavy.
But if Zhou Ling had not broken through the Blood Altar in time, it would have been an enormous crisis for Cloud Sea Immortal City.
"The foremost merit this time belongs to Zhou Ling."
"He killed a Fifth-Tier middle-stage commander of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race and destroyed the Blood Altar, allowing us to achieve this great victory."
