The Tongtian Demon City stood as a crucial stronghold of the demon sect, located along a vital strategic route. Natural barriers of towering sheer cliffs protected it, having repelled countless enemies and blocking many on this path.
The city's lord, the Tongtian Demon Sovereign, was a prominent figure within the Arrogant Blood Gate sect, his status second only to the sect's Grand Elders. Even the Grand Elders could not easily command his position, which reflected how extraordinary his standing was.
With such status came immense power. As a late-stage Xuanxian (Profound Immortal) cultivator, the Tongtian Demon Sovereign wielded many profound mystical artifacts and had defeated countless righteous adversaries, even slaying several fellow late-stage Xuanxian.
In this battle, however, he faced only a mid-stage Xuanxian female cultivator — a stark imbalance in strength.
