Spirit Emperor

The moment Yuan's cultivation entered Spirit Emperor, his aura surged so much that the immortals thought he'd skipped several levels in his breakthrough.

"This bastard had a breakthrough in the middle of a battle! What a fucking monster!"

"Wait… does that mean he was actually only a Spirit King…?"

The realization that Yuan, merely a Spirit King, possessed the prowess to fight them struck quickly. Their faces filled with terror as the full implications of his power dawned on them.

"W-we cannot let him live, or he'll become an immense threat to humanity later!"

"Kill him! Use everything you've got!"

The immortals frantically attacked Yuan, viewing him as a looming calamity destined to destroy humanity in the future.

Meanwhile, seeing Yuan breakthrough snapped Bai Ning out of her daze, and she suddenly approached the battlefield.

"Stop!" she shouted, her voice filled with commanding authority.

"Who the hell are you?!"
