"Was that crimson patch Slaughter's power?" Zhang Yang asked absentmindedly.
He had guessed that Slaughter would come.
He had not expected Slaughter to truly come.
Slaughter was among the strongest beneath the End Realm's five supreme beings.
The strength of such a powerhouse could not be overstated, no matter how wildly one imagined it.
"That is his Great Dao power!" Shadow said gravely. "Not just you all—even I would be attacked if he discovered me here.
As I am now, I cannot possibly be his opponent.
Once you fail to hold out, I will most likely perish alongside the First Realm.
Of course, I am ultimately an avatar of the main body. Perhaps once the main body arrives, it will gather me anew.
But you may not be so fortunate."
Zhang Yang said nothing. He was considering these matters.
Shadow continued, "If the First Realm had not yet been named before, Slaughter might not necessarily have struck at this world.
But once the name First Realm appeared, he would certainly destroy this world.
At the same time, the Great Dao Treasure Mirror appeared here, and so did I. The Karmic Cause and Effect of certain Dao arts from the End Realm is here as well... These countless strands of cause and effect cannot be avoided.
You can no longer evade them.
You must find a way to face Slaughter together. Otherwise, every one of you will perish."
Shadow's expression was incomparably solemn, making it clear that she was absolutely not joking.
Zhang Yang could think of all these issues as well.
Since the First Realm had taken advantage of the End Realm and grown rapidly stronger, it had no choice but to face this karmic reckoning.
But Slaughter's strength had already surpassed all reason. How could they deal with him?
