The battle continued. The Great Demon Kings recovered from their initial panic and began fighting together.
Their goal was to hold the canyon, so after several failed charges, they gave up attacking Fang Yun and devoted themselves to a battle of attrition, buying time.
Fang Yun happened to need practice with his new powers, so he was in no hurry either.
After realizing that the Withering Force could not be used without limit, Fang Yun began rationing it.
Without an endless supply of Withering Force, more than half the pressure on the ten Great Demon Kings vanished.
The Wolf-Head Sacred Hammer hung high in the sky. Even without being activated, its radiating aura alone should have been enough to crush Fang Yun's War-Poem Soldiers, but its power was completely suppressed by the Starfire Armillary Mirror.
Although the Starfire Armillary Mirror was not a sacred treasure meant for slaughter, primarily served to traverse the stars, and needed to devour suns to unleash its might, its inherent rank was far above that of a Half-Sage Burial Treasure. It rendered the inactive Wolf-Head Sacred Hammer utterly useless, eliminating the greatest threat to Fang Yun.
As the battle continued, the ten Great Demon Kings felt the pressure increase again. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Fang Yun had improved.
Fang Yun's power had not increased, but his combat prowess was growing rapidly.
Wolf Cong King, who had already fallen to the Second Realm, asked, "Snake Illusion King, how long before you can use the Wolf-Head Sacred Hammer again?"
Snake Illusion King replied helplessly, "If I could rest quietly, twelve hours would suffice. But with this constant fighting, at least two days-and that assumes we have enough sacred qi."
"Two days? Isn't that just waiting to die?" Wolf Cong King looked furious.
