They watched as the Chaos Star Domain Allied Army, the Three Kings and Eight Generals, Gu Chenfeng, and the others all retreated into the barrier.
Mingluo's face darkened. He swept his blood-red halberd wildly, unleashing streaks of crimson light that slammed into the barrier.
Whoooosh...!
The barrier's light surged like towering waves, but swiftly absorbed Mingluo's attacks.
He unleashed several powerful attacks in succession, even striking it with domain power, all to no avail.
"Mingluo, don't waste your strength. This Blood Huan Heaven-Pole Formation is quite profound, and it draws its energy from three top-grade blood crystal ore veins.
Under the rules of this realm, even a Sub-Saint cannot break through it."
Dark Owl, the Darkborn Clan's Sub-Saint, spoke up to dissuade him.
Though unwilling to accept it, Mingluo could only stop.
Among the four, Yan Jin, who had been suppressed by Yin Hongluan and suffered multiple saber wounds, was also rather angry.
"Those fellows from the Chaos Star Domain are nothing but turtles hiding in their shells. If not for this barrier, we would certainly have won this battle."
At that moment, Yan Yu soothed them.
"Why be so impatient? We already anticipated this move. This battle was merely a preliminary test of their strength.
We still have ample time. Everything will proceed according to the original plan.
Have the army withdraw to a safe distance first. Tomorrow, we attack as usual."
At her words, Mingluo and the others exchanged flickering glances and nodded in agreement.
In the end, the Heavenly Saint City army also sounded the gong to withdraw for the time being.
Meanwhile, inside the allied command headquarters in Mountain-Slaying City.
Gu Chenfeng, the Three Kings, and the Eight Generals had gathered.
The battle had taken a considerable toll on them all, and some were still wounded.
