Summary: “A Great Divide”

• Bai Meng pursues them, using overwhelming physical strength and the World-Destroying Mill to suppress both experts. His brutal, straightforward combat style reminds observers of the legendary Li Xuancang.
• Two additional Late-stage Cave Heaven Realm experts emerge from the Abyss. Su Xinghai attacks them alone, using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to consume surrounding matter, Demonic Beasts, and even enemy attacks to strengthen himself.
