"We did it!"
Jiang Mian's eyes lit up in the hotel room.
That eighth-tier being could hold such a vast stretch of sea in place, covering the entire activity zone and the outer sea defense line. It was truly astonishing.
Even high-tier Awakened needed to focus when manipulating large amounts of elemental energy,
and with the added need to watch for the movements of the World-Overturning Torrent, it surely couldn't keep an eye on its surroundings as well.

A Third-tier core really wasn't enough to travel through a domain like that.
So inside the bubble, Jiang Mian had placed a Fourth-tier water-element core as a power source.
Thanks to the Mist in the seawater and the priority of her ability, the journey went exceptionally smoothly. She shot straight into the Inverted Sea in one go.
