On the outskirts of Baichuan City.
Tang Xian lay in the snow, breathing heavily, struggling strenuously to survive.
Logically, his life recovery ability should have quickly returned him to his peak condition, but it hadn't. He was indeed recovering, but constrained by that bizarre formation, Tang Xian's abilities were temporarily sealed.
The Undying Xuan Bird hid within the Netherworld, greedily consuming souls.
Its injuries were far more severe than Tang Xian's.
Hiding inside Cleveland—the giant turtle—then stepping into the human world through a transport rift had been an excruciating ordeal.
Because it couldn't transform into a human, the size of the portable transport rift was too small for it to pass through.
At the critical moment, the Undying Xuan Bird grew ruthless, allowing Cleveland's gastric acid to dissolve and corrode its wings, finally managing to enter the transport rift.
Now both the Xuan Bird and Tang Xian could be said to be gravely injured.
