The Realm was dying now, and there was no stopping it...
The intensity of their battles didn't allow anyone to back out first, even while the world was crumbling right before their eyes.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ozul opened spatial rifts precisely in front of the 5 who were fighting. Blaze stayed beside him, also having noticed what was happening.
Mirroring these actions, the Lord of Shadows and the Heavenly Emperor also helped their subordinates retreat by opening the spatial rifts for them.
The Lord of Shadows had it the worst, as getting an army of thousands of cultivators to retreat so quickly into another Realm was easier said than done.
As cracks in the spatial reality began to spread, the natural laws of the Realm began to deviate.
Billions of lives watched with unmatched despair as reality collapsed over their heads.
