*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!* watching the bombardment of various attacks targeting the center of the magic array network Duo Tian, Yuzao Qian, and Akatuosi monitors Ji Di Tian's condition in silence.

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!* though the attacks may be fierce all three of them can't help but formed a frown on their faces as they continue to look on and the reason for this is because-

[As expected...]

[If only it was so easy.]

"..."

*...!!!!!!!!* a ferocious gale of wind erupts from the center of the ashen infernos and the might of it readily distorts the network of magic array's structural formation as both phantom bodies and weapon spirits alike are pushed back by the force!

[...]

Despite the harshness of the attacks that he had endured Ji Di Tian's wounds are already on the verge of closing while his body emanates with an air that is vastly different from before.

[...]

Clenching his fist a hint of confusion can be detected in Ji Di Tian's eyes and towards this-

"Oh? What an interesting turn of events."

Muttering these words with a smile of mischief Duo Tian's purple eyes gave off an odd shine whereas Yuzao Qian and Akatuosi's frown deepens.

(Ah I see.)

A smile of satisfaction appears on Ji Di Tian's face as he looks to the celestial bodies that represents Duo Tian's First Heaven.

[Do you intend to hide those three till the very end?]

Seeing how much the celestial bodies has reduced in size after the intense bombardment Ji Di Tian raises this question to Duo Tian.

(Should he choose to maintain Ji Rong Kingdom it would all just be for nothing when none of these ghosts of the past are able to fatally wound me, hence if there is a time to call upon one of the three monarch level phantoms it would have to be now.)

"Why? Are you that afraid of me using them for a surprise attack when you least expect it?"

Despite having the same thought as Ji Di Tian Duo Tian continues to maintain the image of him having a grand scheme in mind for his hidden cards.

(Well truthfully speaking without letting one of those three out it would be impossible to drive him back. *Sigh* I suppose I can't be stingy then.)

With Ji Di Tian having experienced a minor breakthrough Duo Tian is even more convinced that he needed to sacrifice the incomplete First Heaven if he wishes the force the former to withdraw.

[...]

This is something that Ji Di Tian is very much aware of hence he chooses to remain silent against Duo Tian's provocation.

"You may have experienced a bit of a breakthrough just now but..."

The more money a gambler tosses into the game the more difficult it is for them to take a step back without winning something back.

Having tapping into the remnants of his original strength at the cost of damaging his own body while also making a minor breakthrough just a few moment ago Ji Di Tian's mindset at this time is probably akin to such a gambler.

"That's no reason to get arrogant."

Raising his left hand a small droplet of liquid appears on top of Duo Tian's palm.

The color of this liquid is a vivid red and it also gave off a golden shine.

Towards the sight of this droplet-

[You refined my creations have you?]

Recognizing the air that emanates from the droplet of blood to be his own Ji Di Tian can immediately guess what Duo Tian had done during his imprisonment.

"And what of it? Since you wish to see one of my strongest cards so badly you naturally must pay a price for it."

In order for one of the monarch level phantom bodies to demonstrate more strength this droplet of blood is absolutely necessary.

Had that not been the case Duo Tian would have just kept it for a future project.

Tossing the droplet of blood behind himself it splatters onto the celestial bodies that represents the First Heaven and-

*...!!!* immediately the flames that are burning the celestial bodies surges in temperature!

In less than the time it takes for the eyes to blink the celestial bodies melt completely and following this the myriad number of structures that made up Ji Rong Kingdom erupts into flames!

One by one the phantom bodies that are numerous in numbers are pulled upon by an invisible force and dragged towards the blazing kingdom.

*...!!!!!* it is also in that instance that Ji Di Tian senses two of the three monarch level phantom bodies' presence vanishing from his range of detection while the one that remains explosively rose in power!

[...]

As his pupils shrink Ji Di Tian can't help but throw Duo Tian a questioning look.

The air this phantom is giving off wasn't Li Jiu Tian's but is instead one of the airs that he isn't familiar with.

In other words-

[You choose to rely on one of the foreign monarchs?]

"Foreigner? No."

Shaking his head Duo Tian can't help but recall an old conversation that he had with Li Jiu Tian in the past where a similar question had been brought up and towards that question he-

"To me, to their sisters, she and Xīsīfēilìyǎ (希斯菲利亚) aren't outsiders. Above all there's nothing wrong with a man relying on his wife is there?"
