The battles began almost immediately. Heaven and Earth didn't need to voice more orders, and the old rulers were ready to fight anyway.
The improved cultivators surpassed the platoons of magical beasts in terms of raw power, and their bodies could also match their superior physical prowess.
However, the old rulers had worked with King Elbas to perfect the threat that the modified magical beasts had on Heaven and Earth's assets. Those creatures had an innate advantage against beings tainted by the white light, so the clash appeared even.
Still, the sheer number of improved cultivators made the many platoons of magical beasts pale in comparison. Heaven and Earth had so many assets that some had to remain behind due to a lack of space.
The improved cultivators unleashed their full power right away. Countless abilities carrying Heaven and Earth's radiance shot forward without even bothering to aim for specific targets.
