The Spirit Realm lay empty, the Great Void boundless.
The Great Sun and the Bright Moon hung side by side, their shared radiance enveloping the entire Radiant Splendor Heaven Domain. Clear Sky Great Dao Venerable stood above the Immortal Palace, the Black Cauldron suspended over his head, facing the Sun Venerable from afar.
The other five Great Dao Venerables of Radiant Splendor Heaven each held a position, their expressions grave. On the other side, the Mahayana cultivators of Fuli Heaven had also stopped fighting. Sword Qi and lightning gradually dissipated, and the immortal radiance filling the sky faded away.
The Great Dao Venerables on both sides gazed at one another across the endless Great Void, tacitly ceasing hostilities. Brightlight Blessed Land had already fallen into Fuli's hands. There was no point in fighting on.
Clear Sky Great Dao Venerable's face was dark as water. He withdrew his gaze from Brightlight Blessed Land, glanced at the two distant figures that shone like the sun and moon, and spoke coldly:
"I will remember what happened today."
He flicked his sleeve and retrieved the Black Cauldron. "There will come a day when we settle this."
The Sun Venerable gave a derisive laugh at his words. Without another word, her figure gradually faded. The other six venerables did the same, and even the Bright Moon vanished with them.

A short while later, Clear Sky Great Dao Venerable returned to the seat of honor inside the Immortal Palace. After a long silence, he swept his gaze over the others and said heavily, "Brightlight Blessed Land is lost. What are your thoughts?"
