A brief tranquility finally returned to the battlefield. The surrounding air felt heavily suppressed, quiet enough to unsettle the mind. The residual aura of the black flames still lingered in the air, and the heavy fluctuations of spiritual qi distorted the scenery all around. Chen Haotian stood in the center of the ruins, the surrounding light seeming to shine because of him. The spiritual qi within his body was still surging, and his sword blade emitted a faint, low hum.
Although he had successfully defeated the powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Society in this battle, it did not allow him to lower his guard in the slightest. Facing such a formidable opponent, Chen Haotian knew that things were far from over; the truth hidden behind the scenes was likely far more complex than he had imagined. The conspiracy of the Heavenly Dao Society seemed to have only just begun.
Chen Haotian took a deep breath, slowly regulating the qi within his body. Although this battle had exacted a heavy toll from him, not a trace of fatigue showed on his countenance. Every battle made him more mature and stronger. This duel with the powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Society served as a profound reminder that the path of immortal cultivation is never smooth.
