Boom!
Boundless light blazed forth...
A towering figure clad in a starry Dharma robe stepped out from the all-encompassing Rosy Cloud.
At that very moment!
Fine, dense buzzing surged closer like a tide. An aura of primordial desolation swept over them, and the terrifying pressure made even the air congeal.
At the same time.
Deep within a spatial interstice somewhere, a mysterious figure revealed a trace of understanding in his eyes.
"Just as expected!
How could those old monsters truly have made no preparations at all?"
"It seems the Spirit Transformation fellow cultivators outside the Secret Realm have all prepared quite a few similar measures."
That was right.
This was Gongzhi Yang.
The "Teleportation Talisman" he had mentioned earlier had clearly been nothing more than a smokescreen.
In truth, in that instant, he had secretly used [Spatial Dharma Escape], slipping into the spatial interstice and hiding to one side as he quietly watched.
Likewise, the words with which he had warned True Lord Lei Zhong and his martial brother earlier had been genuine!
He had "incidentally" wanted to see whether the trump cards in the hands of these two Martial Brothers were truly as he had guessed.
Of course.
Even if he had guessed wrong, it would not matter.
After all, Martial Brother True Lord Lei Zhong had harbored no good intentions toward him before. If he died, he would not be worth mourning.
Yet his guess had indeed been correct.
At that thought, Gongzhi Yang, hidden within the spatial interstice, looked through the spatial barrier at that "blood-red cloud mass," though the corner of his eye remained fixed on the figure who had emerged from the Rosy Cloud.
"Perfect. Let's see what Venerable Tianzhao is really made of."
Gongzhi Yang thought expectantly.
Then he too began to wait quietly.
