Deep in Chaos, the horns of war among the Demon Gods finally sounded.
At first, there were only scattered clashes of energy. From so far away, they could feel no more than faint tremors. But as more and more top-tier Demon Gods joined the battle, that destructive force began to grow exponentially.
That day, Lin Yue was attempting a second short-range teleport when a deafening boom came from outside the cave, as if all of Chaos had been torn apart. The mysterious iron ground beneath his feet immediately shook violently. The Innate Mysterious Iron protective layer on the rock walls groaned, and fine cracks spread across it like a spiderweb.
"Not good!" Lin Yue's heart tightened. He hurried to steady himself, only to find that the silver-gold vortex in his dantian had grown chaotic from the violent shaking. The energy that had once circulated smoothly suddenly stalled, and even showed signs of flowing backward. Gritting his teeth, he forcibly circulated his cultivation technique to suppress it, preventing the vortex from collapsing.
RUMBLE—!
Another deafening boom rang out, closer this time, as if it had erupted just outside the cave. The cave abode shook even more violently. Stone fragments fell from the ceiling, and the light membrane of the Triple Concealment Array rippled violently, on the verge of collapsing. Lin Yue watched helplessly as the cracks in the mysterious iron protective layer widened. Through them, he could even see the Chaos Airflow churning wildly outside.

Lin Yue looked up and saw Su Qingyan standing at the edge of the barrier, her hands forming seals. Streams of scorching flame energy surged from her palms and flowed into the cracks
