Time continued to flow amid the clashes.
Absolute Heart Emperor had failed to take him down at once. She muttered, "This demonic intent of yours doesn't resemble the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts either. How peculiar."
She did not know that Sikong Jing's Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow was fundamentally centered on the power of the Nine Heavens Magic Beasts.
No one knew how long the battle had lasted when suddenly... hmm?
Absolute Heart Emperor abruptly turned her head and looked toward the Burial Emperor Battlefield...
"The Yin Spirit Evil Qi hasn't come to sweep me away yet, but those dozen or so sword clans from before—and that Mountain Clan—have arrived."
"Honestly, what a nuisance. I'll take down those sword clans first, then."
With that, Absolute Heart Emperor abruptly cut off her clash with the Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow and the others. With a turn, she vanished.
The Vast Cosmos Sword Clan's will was far too strong...
If they joined the Spirit Seal Realm's Army-Slaying Formation, she would never be able to take them down. She could only settle for the next best thing.
At the same time, the Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow spoke from within the Heaven-Swallowing Tiger King's Spirit Platform...
"Elder Shan Qiansu has arrived, along with Feather Transformation Emperor and the others..."

The Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow had likewise sensed the arrival of Shan Qiansu, Feather Transformation Emperor, and the others. He immediately stirred the Army-Slaying Formation and chased after her.
But he quickly added, "There's no time. Follow me... Nine Heavens Sword Form!"
