The immortals and gods filling the sky were left hanging in midair by the Huan Emperor, yet they remained relatively silent. For a long time, no one spoke.
Below them, across the sea, the rout of the Canada-U.S. Allied Forces intensified after the Purgatory Ancestor's fall and with Old Immortal Nanhua's fate unknown. Canada's warships, the fastest vessels, were the China Faction's primary targets. With their Emperor Grade and Imperial Grade flagships all destroyed and more than half their King Grade warships lost, the Canadian Allied Forces were flies without heads, a heap of loose sand. The United States Coalition Army was naturally far less mobile than the Canadian Allied Forces, but it recalled every unit to its bases and withdrew with its strongest forces at the greatest possible speed, sparing the China Faction considerable trouble.
After a long silence, Lady Nandou solemnly surveyed the brutal battle below for a while, then addressed the immortals and gods who flickered in and out of sight. "Fellow Daoists! The Huan Emperor's identity has essentially been confirmed. Leaving aside the consequences of opposing him and his personal cultivation and strength, we do not belong to this world, after all. Of all affairs in a minor world, the struggle for dominion carries the strongest entanglements of karma. Once stained by them, they are difficult to shake off, and the troubles that follow are endless. I urge you all to think thrice before acting!"
"Hmph!" The Corpse God snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Since our predecessors established the Eternal Covenant, they must have had their reasons! Let us first set aside whether the Huan Emperor's cultivation has reached the True Immortal realm. In the earlier battle, he did indeed use only the power of the great formation and his army. That is the Imperial Dao.
