• Ye Qifeng reached the deepest room of the treasury and spotted a red-cloth-covered object atop a stone pillar.

Ye Qifeng took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family’s treasure vault and sent it into his Yin-Yang Space to destroy the Sea God’s Divine Sense within it. In the God Realm, the Sea God sensed the artifact’s disturbance in the Angel Temple and, fearing discovery, concealed himself in Angel Faith Power while the God of Kindness watched the temple.
