The defensive battle at the Taibai Mountain fortress was still at a deadlock.
Having lost the Wood Centipede and the Yang Flame Cicada—Spirit Plant Demon Beasts each comparable to half a Grandmaster—the Divine Wood Guard found it difficult to assault the walls from their disadvantageous position, especially with a Grandmaster on the defense. After Li Daoran and the others consumed their pills and temporarily recovered their fighting strength, the attackers left behind numerous bodies, which were dragged behind the walls and incinerated in the Magma Cauldron.
