High above the nine heavens, within the Nine Infants Divine Lord's Divine Domain, the consumption of spiritual energy was immense as well. In the past, when Heavenly Watchtower unfolded, spiritual radiance filled the sky. Now, all that unnecessary radiance had been swept away.
Several spatial rifts had even appeared, exposed in the void in a shocking sight.
They bore witness to the ferocity of the earlier battle.
Around him, within the Heavenly Watchtower Divine Domain, nine blood demons had manifested, each stationed atop one of the domain's nine demonic pillars.
The spiritual phantoms of these pillars had already become solid, with one end plunged into the void and the other rising to hold up the heavens.
Clearly, although the Nine Infants Divine Lord had not reached the Spirit Transformation middle stage, his Divine Domain and Heavenly Watchtower were already far ahead of those of Ye Jingcheng and the others.
The Nine Infants Divine Lord himself stood at the very rear, holding a pearl as he absorbed spiritual energy and employed various arts.
The ambient spiritual energy nearby naturally could not sustain a Spirit Transformation cultivator casting spells in such a manner.
Clearly, like Ye Jingcheng, the Nine Infants Divine Lord had stored a vast quantity of spirit stones in a Grotto-Heaven.
By activating them with a spell array to produce a torrent of spiritual energy, he could continue unleashing powerful secret arts.
This consumed a great many spirit stones, but an ancient immortal sect like Penglai naturally had no shortage of them. Likewise, Divine Lord Tiande's storage pouch and Grotto-Heaven had held plenty of fine treasures.
Otherwise, he could never have endured so long against Ye Jingcheng's Heaven-Reaching spirit treasure and Heavenly Watchtower.
