Just as matters within the Demonic Flame Space had temporarily come to an end, an earth-shaking battle in the Pill Tower also drew to a close.
"Cough, cough." The Pill Tower Ancestor's face was slightly pale, and beside him stood Gu Yuan, whose expression was equally grim.
Only Zhu Kun was in somewhat better condition, though there was still a bone-deep wound on his left arm.
For Zhu Kun, whose true form was an Ancient Void Dragon, to suffer such severe injuries, one could imagine just how intense the battle had been.

The other two could only lie on the temporary beds, their faces filled with utter despair.
Yan Jin and Lei Ying had never imagined that the gap between them and Soul Heaven Emperor would be this vast.
