A stone pillar pierced through heaven and earth, seeming to hold up the firmament and keep it from falling.
Amid the swirling clouds, the pits and rough stone texture on the pillar's surface flickered in and out of view. Clearly, this was a colossal pillar over a million meters in diameter.
Anyone who saw it would have only one thought rise in their heart... the Sky-Supporting Cudgel.
In truth, this stone pillar had indeed come from the true Sky-Supporting Cudgel of the Southern Border... Marquis Shen.
Some time ago, the former "Yin Dao" returned from elsewhere. After charging into the Southern Border, he swept through all before him, with no one able to stop him.
