"Something is falling from the sky toward the Eternal Altar!"
"What is that?!"
This sudden, terrifying upheaval was seen clearly by everyone.
And not just those at the Eternal Altar and the Eternal Plateau.
Any life-form in this world with sufficiently keen perception could more or less sense the disturbance.
The world itself was trembling.
The players cried out in alarm.
In the distance, Li Miao and the others exchanged looks, their expressions turning exceptionally grave.
The Touching Kindling, including the Shepherd, reacted even faster.
"Stop that thing!"
"Don't let it fall into the Eternal Altar!"
Among the Touching Kindling, Daylight reacted the fastest.
He was incomparably decisive. The instant he saw the object falling toward the Eternal Altar, he transformed into daylight itself and shot into the sky at incredible speed, unleashing Day Punishment at full power.
The sky instantly blazed with searing daylight, so bright that everyone present was forced to shut their eyes.
That white streak touched the mysterious falling object in an instant.
But something astonishing soon happened.
The terrifying Day Punishment, powerful enough to shatter an entire continent, did not destroy or repel the mysterious object upon contact. It did not even stir the slightest ripple.
Daylight's Day Punishment vanished in an instant, leaving behind no trace whatsoever.
It was as though it had been completely devoured.
At this sight, the other Touching Kindling immediately turned grim.
The next moment, they shot into the air. Following Daylight, they each unleashed their own methods against the mysterious falling object.
Yet—
Whether it was the miraculous fluctuations released by the Shepherd with a raised hand, capable of restraining all things; Long Night's wide-range power of darkness; or Moon's gravitational force and Flourishing's roots—none of it worked.
Their attacks were swiftly devoured and annihilated.
"How is that possible—"
