Seeing Off the Star Lords, Then the Demon Tide Arrives

Half a day later, above the ruins of a palace complex, Zhao Sheng wore a grave expression. His eyes shone like starlight, and with a sweep of both hands, hundreds of chains of lightning appeared out of thin air before him.

Incomparably intricate three-dimensional patterns surfaced along the lightning chains, emanating intense power of the lightning laws.

The chains intertwined into a vast net, at the center of which stood an enormous figure a hundred zhang tall.
