Shen Mo stopped condensing Soul Generals and returned the Soul Refining Flag to his Universe Bag.
The narrow stone passage limited the numerous Heavenly Demons as much as it hindered the Soul Generals. To combat Heavenly Demon Wan Wu, dozens of middle-stage Class II Soul Generals would need to swarm it simultaneously to be effective.

"Kid, why are you so stubborn?"
"Hand over the woman behind you. I, Wan Wu, keep my word and will spare your life!"
The figure of Heavenly Demon Wan Wu entered Shen Mo's vision. It advanced step by step, its demonic might blazing intensely!
Its only response was a single Shangqing Sword Qi.
"It seems you're determined to be a pair of ill-fated lovers. Fine, I, Wan Wu, will grant your wish!" it sneered. "Once I devour you both, I believe I can advance to the Spirit Sea Realm..."
