Queen Xue clicked her teeth, her tone tinged with a biting chill as she spoke. "I knew it would be too much to reach Great Success in this art. Even worse, I can tell it will be years before we can advance another layer. Haah... damn it. Never before have I felt my cultivation to be so slow..."
"Mn." Queen Pao nodded slowly; her voice heavy with resignation. "If we can't find some way to kill them, then there will be no righteous path. Demons will reign over our planet."
The Dragon Monarch struggled to maintain his composure, the weight of their predicament bearing down upon him like an invisible mountain. Yet even in the face of such overwhelming pressure, he forced his tone to remain steady, a bastion of calm amidst the tempest of uncertainty.
