It had been two years since the legendary Battle of Devils and Angels—a name given by both mortals and cultivators alike. It was a battle that shook the very foundation of this world, a battle that people would tell their children and grandchildren for generations.
Yet, at its core, it was a battle between Mathilda and the Ancient Devil.
When the Ancient Devil was summoned by Emperor Chang Shengzun, the world trembled in fear. Cultivators believed their end had come, and mortals could do nothing but pray for salvation. For an entire hour, the Ancient Devil threw everything it had at Mathilda's unbreakable defenses.
Fire, lightning, dark curses, and chaotic destruction rained down from the heavens—all in vain.
The flying boat remained untouched. The barriers never wavered.
It was not a battle. It was a humiliation.
And when the hour finally ran out, and the Ancient Devil felt its form fading, it could do nothing but scream in rage.
