Courage Worthy of Praise, Strength Far Too Weak

A rich voice drifted over slowly, carrying a power that soothed the soul and quietly dispelling the heaviness in the scene.

"It's Mr. Shen!"

All the spirit beasts' spirits lifted, and they all looked toward the sound.

From beyond the Nine Heavens, a hazy silhouette came striding through the sky, chasing the stars and moon, with ten million li reduced to mere inches.

A Five-Colored Rainbow drooped from the clouds, gently wrapping around the Jade Rabbit girl. Then, with a flash of flowing light, it vanished into the distant clouds.

The sight left the remaining spirit beasts both delighted and filled with irrepressible envy.

"Jade Rabbit's luck is far too good... She actually won Mr. Shen's favor and even got him to personally take her back to Qilin Cliff to watch the battle."

The spirit deer gazed longingly, its round face filled with yearning.

"All right. Since Primordial Chaos Dao Lord has come in person, all we need to do is wait patiently."

The immortal crane rubbed his head and chuckled. "With Dao Lord in charge, I believe every difficulty will be easily overcome."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded, their faces brimming with confidence.

Atop Qilin Cliff, the winds and clouds suddenly changed.

The square, which had originally been shrouded in Immortal Qi, was now enveloped in a murderous silence. Even the clouds on the horizon had frozen as hard as iron.

The nine elders stood in separate positions, steady as deep pools and lofty as mountains, like nine Dao statues that had existed since time immemorial.

Their auras intertwined. With every glance and movement, they faintly stirred the laws of the universe, weaving a vast net across the void.

Yet the most eye-catching figure was still the tall silhouette at the very front.
