Flowing Cinnabar Realm Battles Roaming Void Sea

Under the night sky, the mountains crumbled.

The forest clearing that had been fairly tranquil moments ago was now a scene of utter devastation.

The lingering demonic aura tangled in the night wind, scattering the heavy clouds and revealing a somewhat desolate night sky.

More than a dozen demons panted heavily, their thunderous breaths echoing through the woods.

It was hard to imagine that even under such circumstances, they could have been driven into such a sorry state—and had even lost two Roaming Void Sea cultivators.

Fortunately, the gains had been quite gratifying.

Gong Qiulan, who had reached the perfection of the Roaming Void Sea realm, had finally begun to show signs of fatigue.

That slender figure leaned against a shattered cliff face, her plain robes drenched scarlet as she rested quietly against the cold stone.

She gazed silently ahead.

The heavy night was so unshakable... as though it had severed this jade-faced fairy's last path to survival.

Perhaps Gong Qiulan could defeat any one of these demons alone, and even against three or five joining forces, she would not fall behind.

But once they joined hands and launched a siege without regard for the cost... even one at the perfection of the Roaming Void Sea realm would find little hope of turning the tables.

Looking at the dozen or so demons advancing step by step, she suddenly revealed a helpless smile.

"What a pity..."

A breakthrough at the brink of battle was, in the end, something found only in legends.

The path of cultivation had always been one step at a time, every step requiring relentless tempering.

To force her way past the threshold that had trapped her for years and set foot in the Myriad Phenomena Heaven realm in such a certain-death predicament was truly a fool's dream.
