Western Heaven Realm, Xihe Domain, Spirit Cloud Kingdom...
Sunlit City ruins.
"Finally caught up..." Ever since receiving news of the Heaven Realm's campaign, Tian Zhu, Dragon Emperor, and Nether Emperor had been racing onward without rest. At last, they reached this sole spacetime rift through which they could secretly return to the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Back when they had first entered the Heaven Realm, with their strength, they could never have completed continuous teleportations across such an immense distance. But after walking through countless paths of life and death, Qi Duo had made astonishing progress. Though they still fell short of Yue Yang, they had improved by a thousand miles each day, shedding their old selves and ascending into an entirely new realm they had once never dared imagine!
With wills as hard as steel and relentless, mad teleportation,
before exhaustion could make them collapse for good,
they successfully reached their destination.
Heavenly Prison King Gao Peng was quietly waiting for them alongside a group of old men who had been imprisoned in the Heaven Realm until Yue Yang broke through the prison, allowing them to see daylight again.
In truth, during the initial discussions, Heavenly Prison King Gao Peng and the others had not wanted Tian Zhu, Dragon Emperor, Nether Emperor, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai, Xue Tanlang, Heavenly Net Prince, and the rest of the 'younger generation' to take part in the life-or-death battle for the Heaven-Piercing Tower. They could not see the future and did not know who would emerge victorious. How powerful was the Heaven Realm army? They felt that if every young junior were thrown into battle only to be wiped out in a single clash, leaving none alive, it would be better to hide away a handful of outstanding descendants and leave the Heaven-Piercing Tower seeds
