A vast stretch of land outside of the Throne of Defiance had been cleared. It was easily over 500 square kilometers. The shifting nature of the 4th layer made it a slight variable but the minimum was that.
Extremely powerful formations, weavings, and essential support items were set up at the perimeter but the interior was bare. It had been cleared by the Harmonic Dragons for the very purpose it was now being put to.
The tournament continued but the Divine Sword Sect and other Sovereign Tiers had gathered to see something very rare.
A Divine Ascension!
All had hoped the tournament would allow them a chance to use the beneficial environment of the Throne of Defiance but the tournament had not ended and one of their number was there already!
Dea Arc was looking much younger. As he recovered his Qi, his body actually returned to his youth! It was a clear sign that his foundation was preparing to ascend!
