It had been delayed for so many years.
The World-Devouring Whale had never stopped its work.
It had gnawed a huge gap between the Cultivation Realm and the Lower Realm, and the boundary between them now had only a few final points of connection left.
—These points of connection were the Immortal Sects that the Cultivators used to anchor the two worlds.
It wasn't that the World-Devouring Whale didn't want to chew through these anchor points.
But doing so would attract the attention of the Cultivation Realm. If the Immortal Palace found out that the Lower Realm was about to break away, there was no telling what kind of insane things those bastards might do.
Therefore, it was up to Li Chang'an to exert one last burst of strength to completely sever the connection between the Immortal Sects and the Cultivation Realm.
