After the initial fierce clash, the battle in the void temporarily subsided. Upper Firmament Heaven retreated into the inner ring of its formation, relying on the formation's solidity and hiding within without emerging.
Celestial Xia, meanwhile, continuously refined the ritual implements used for various offensive formations, reinforced the formations it had established in Upper Firmament Heaven, and steadily urged more Clear Vault Aura up from the rear, preparing for the next offensive. Until they had true certainty, they would not launch an attack.
