After the battle at Mount Kunlun ended, the Moon Lord vanished from everyone's sight.
The Divine Domain battle, which had lasted several hours, had nearly destroyed vast stretches of mountains deep within Mount Kunlun.
The Moon Lord had left wounded, and Xuanyuan Wudi was badly injured as well.
The Kunlun Rift remained temporarily suppressed by the space-time rule, but after the clash between two Divine Domain powerhouses, the seal that had held for over a century was severely damaged.
Huaxia quickly mobilized large numbers of transcendents to the outskirts of Mount Kunlun to repair the formations that were still usable and lay new seals.
Xuanyuan Wudi remained near the rift, using the space-time rule to slow its expansion.
But as major Abyssal Rifts in Greenland, the Ganges, East Africa, the Amazon, and elsewhere opened one after another, the global Abyss resonance grew ever stronger.
The pressure on Mount Kunlun increased every day.
After his injury, the space-time rule Xuanyuan Wudi could maintain was also far weaker than at his peak.
Over a month later, deep within Mount Kunlun.
Black Abyss energy was already pouring incessantly from between the mountains. Vast stretches of newly laid formations went dark one after another, and the tremors from underground had barely stopped.
Xuanyuan Wudi stood above the rift, his face much paler than it had been a month earlier.
The forces Huaxia had committed to Mount Kunlun during this time were already immense, but by now, sending more people in had become meaningless.
He watched the constantly widening fissure below, fell silent for a moment, then turned to the Huaxia transcendents stationed in the distance. "Everyone, withdraw from Mount Kunlun's core area. Move the outer defense line farther back. We can't suppress this place anymore. Staying will only increase casualties."
No one urged him
