Elsewhere, while the battle raged in King Battle Land, something stirred in the Sky Tomb. After absorbing a great deal of energy, Tian Chen's Golden Body shuddered. He reached out and clenched his hand, feeling that familiar power return. He had recovered to Break Eight. Beside him, the Heavenly Dog slowly opened its eyes as well.

Although the Emperors are all still around, their former residences and other places still hold plenty of opportunities. We might even find something that takes us a step further. After all, Lu Hao has already reached Level 9. How can old fossils like us justify still being stuck at Break Eight?"
The Heavenly Dog spoke to Tian Chen beside it. Lu Hao had broadened their horizons, after all, so its current goal was Level 9. After that, it would find a way to become an Emperor.

Tian Chen spoke with a melancholy expression. Though he had regained his former strength, more problems kept coming one after another. "Well, we can't just refuse to break through, can we?
