Hang Yu couldn't possibly leave without any preparation.
The Ant Engineering Team was an ambush force arranged in advance.
When the attention of the Spirit Realm natives was drawn to Hang Yu and his team, more than thirty 10th-level worker ants controlled by the Human-faced Ant Queen stealthily approached the altar. After a successful surprise attack, the altar's base shattered, causing it to collapse and the ritual to spiral out of control.
The spatial rift vanished.
The descent process halted.
The Flame Demon King howled in agony, its forming body cracking continuously, and large streams of scorching lava gushed out, inundating the altar and spreading to the surroundings, like a wax statue melting in extreme heat.
The High-level Enchanting Demon and High-level Void Spirit were flung away by the violent force when the ritual collapsed, suffering severe backlash; they would no longer pose a threat.
"No!"
The High-level Giant Demon roared in despair.
