An Understated Dominance Chapter 2699

Chapter 2699

Houtu lay motionless on the cold jade floor, her body sealed within a pale golden cocoon of light—like a moth forever trapped in amber.

Her flawless, enchanting face was frozen between disbelief and fury, eyes wide and trembling as the last traces of consciousness flickered behind them. Even as her divine strength faded, she could not stop staring at the figure standing in the distance—the man in white, leaning heavily on his sword, swaying but unbroken.

How… how could this be?

She was Houtu—the embodiment of earth itself. Within the walls of this celestial palace, she was the immovable mountain, the unshakable core of stability.

He was drained, battered, his True Energy nearly gone. And yet… she was the one defeated.

Regret and venomous resentment crawled through her mind like a nest of poisonous insects. But the sealing power was absolute—an invisible shackle that bound her body and suppressed every last flicker of divine will. Not even a whisper of her spirit could escape.
