Mo Wen and Evil Xuan ascended into the upper layers of space, leaving the battlefield below.
Space folded and twisted as Mo Wen made the first move.
"Cage of the Demon."
A massive demonic exoskeleton materialized instantly, forged from condensed black-red Qi.
It wrapped around Evil Xuan's body from every direction, rib-like bars snapping shut as crushing force bore down not just on flesh, but directly on soul and spirit.
The pressure was suffocating.
Evil Xuan's body cracked against the invisible weight.
Then.
Crimson mist exploded outward from his pores as his hands formed precise seals.
"Technique Number 101 – Qi Dissipation."
It was a technique of the spirit series, which Yu Xuan used to block the beast tide in the hidden realm.
Then red mist blazed.
For a brief instant, it manifested outward, flooding the upper layer of space like a living domain.
And immediately Qi faltered.
Spiritual energy collapsed.
