Crackle—
Dark purple lightning swept across the sky, and the heavens abruptly turned gloomy.
The black mark between Dai Yao's brows suddenly erupted.
Black light swallowed everything. When Dai Yao opened his eyes again, the scene had changed once more, and he had returned to the assessment ground, standing atop the high platform.
He stared in astonishment at the ocean around him.
Unlike before, the golden ocean had changed color, turning a dense purple-black. Even the eight high platforms holding the god-level Spirit Bones had grown dim and lightless. Not far away, Bo Saixi was staring at everything around her in disbelief.

Dai Yao still wanted to say something, but at this moment
