In the northwestern part of the Profound Spirit Continent lay a vast, boundless expanse of azure sea.
A tremendous explosion suddenly rang out high in the sky, and a massive Crimson Mushroom Cloud appeared overhead.
Two streaks of escape light appeared on the horizon, swiftly sweeping across the sky.
The two streaks of escape light were clearly a male and female cultivator. One was a thin, frail man in a green robe, his face pale and his clothes bearing obvious bloodstains.
