Six Desires Heaven.
The white Grotto-Heaven slowly shattered, its fissures opening onto the boundless Void.
Xu Xuan lowered his eyes to the battlefield below and activated the supervisory power of [Righteous Punishment], instantly grasping the situation.
To the south.
A black tide surged and heaved. Sword Intent took the shape of Flood Dragons, darting out to collide fiercely with white light laden with killing intent, neither side yielding. Chou Xi fought there, holding off the Demon Manifestations of Killing Desire and Knowledge Desire alone.
"As expected of Vast Water... boundless and vast, heavy as mountains."
Among the Five Virtues, this path possessed exceptionally powerful combat prowess.
Every drop of vast water was immensely heavy, its force unmatched. It could also raise waves and stir billows, swelling into surging tides that often shattered opponents' bones and broke their Dharma Bodies.
To the north, a different scene unfolded. Thunderfire and demonic clouds intertwined and shifted, crashing against bloody light and water transformation.
Liu Xingfang and Wu Xiuming had taken action, suppressing the newly manifested demons of Pleasure and Desire and Greed Desire, firmly holding the upper hand.
Both Demon Manifestations were at the Purple Mansion Middle Stage, their nature and life muddled, their auras impure. Clearly, they were things molded through sinister arts, not living people. Now that the support of water transformation had vanished, both demons were near death, about to be slain by thunderbolts.
Xu Xuan's gaze passed over them, however, settling on the figure at the very center of the battlefield.
Deliverance.
This man stood foremost among the demons and had once enjoyed a reputation equal to Northern Yin's. His cultivation was formidable, and his ability to flee for his life was rarer still. He had actually withstood the combined attacks of Rong Zhen, Guan Quan, and Wei Shuang.
