The Battle Was Still Ongoing

People often defined the battle in which Shen Daichihachi fell as the battle of the century, simply because four demigods had all taken part in it: Li Shutong, Shen Daichihachi, Li Bingxi, and Chen Yu.

Strictly speaking, Shadow had gone too. He simply had not wanted to fight demigods at the time, so he had not appeared on the battlefield.

That battle of the century had drawn extraordinary attention, with media outlets across the Federation reporting on it for an entire month.

Yet everyone who had truly participated understood that, in that northern battle, every demigod had held something back. No one had gone all out.

That battle had been more like a game of probing. None of them had fought a demigod in decades, so they had first needed to gauge each other's true strength.

But the battle outside Forbidden Zone No. 002 was one where no one could afford to hold back.

No, more accurately, Shadow alone had forced every demigod into a position where they could no longer leave themselves any room to spare.

If not for the life-substitution effect of Forbidden Items, three demigods would have fallen today. Shadow had crossed the boundary between mortals and gods alone, effortlessly killing two demigods. If news of this spread, the entire Federation would likely be shaken.

Before this, Shadow had only acted a handful of times. No one had expected him to be so overwhelmingly powerful!

There was a saying often passed around in the world of transcendents.

All Awakened were people burdened by curses and sorrow.

Without suffering something utterly heartbreaking, it was impossible to awaken. Thus, behind every Awakened was an experience of profound grief.

Return countdown: 01:23:21.
