The next instant—
The searing pillar of light fired from the Mortal Domain plunged straight into the deep sea, striking the Heavenly Dao Strange hiding there with perfect accuracy.
Eight thousand meters beneath the sea.
This was a depth humans could scarcely reach.

"P.S.: Purple-grade city defense structures are the highest grade available to continental landmasses."
"Red grade denotes 'continent-level' strategic weapons."
"The cost of activation is immense. At full power, it can easily destroy
