In the far north, the Snow Monarch was also paying attention to this battle. What should he do? "After today's battle, no Spirit Master will dare to hunt spirit beasts for cultivation." Xue Qiling's voice resounded throughout the entire continent. The statue that had stood in front of Shrek Academy for ten thousand years was shattered with a single stomp of his foot.

They've provoked a great calamity." This was the consensus of all humans and soul beasts. The divine might was vast and mighty, and all souls submitted. However, Thule was not destroyed. Only the screams of the gods resounded throughout the continent. The divine blood fell from the sky above Thule, forming a gorgeous sunset in Thule.
