Chapter 1007: Inspection Complete, Yan’er Recovers

Ever since Qin Xiao provided the Divine Wood Fruit, the Demon Race had been largely suppressed in the subsequent battles.

Over a month had passed. In the Western Domain, the territory controlled by the Demon Race shrank with each engagement, and the spreading Demonic Qi began to contract inward under the efforts of the Immortal Realm’s Formation Masters.

Although the territories reclaimed by the Immortal Clan in the Western Domain still held considerable Demonic Qi, its concentration had dropped significantly.

The Eastern Domain fared better still. Its invaders had suffered losses and held only a third of their former territory: one-thirtieth of the whole Eastern Domain.
