He knew that the real challenge was just beginning.
With a low rumble, the second puppet slowly emerged from the void, its figure more robust, surrounded by a denser spiritual power. Clearly, this was the strength of the legendary Fourth Heaven.
Staring at this puppet, which was almost comparable to a small mountain, an unprecedented pressure surged in Tian Kong's heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil within, but the pressure from the Fourth Heaven was as heavy as a mountain, impossible to ignore.
"Come on, let me see how terrifying the power of the Fourth Heaven really is," Tian Kong whispered.
Then, even though he knew he might lose, he understood that evasion was not his style. Only by confronting the challenge head-on could he surpass himself and reach a higher realm.
