At this critical juncture, Daochen and Nüwa joining forces was bad news for everyone present!
Among the seven destined Sages,
Nüwa had attained Sagehood through merit, and there was no question that her combat strength ranked last.
But neither Jieyin nor Zhunti possessed a Xiantian Supreme Treasure. Their spiritual treasures were, at best, Supreme Xiantian Spiritual Treasures.

But could he simply give up?
Absolutely not!
