The surging Snow Tide crashed into the cemetery!
Gu Shen braced himself before the Golden Gate and spread his arms. He felt an endless, boundless pressure roaring toward him!
Even Song Ci, the "Apostle of Light," could not withstand this terrifying crushing force despite giving it his all. Gu Shen's array patterns were likewise struggling to hold on. Thousands of streaks of flowing light surged and gathered before him, only to be shattered again and again...

The rolling snow crashed against the cemetery's invisible spiritual barrier, rebounded from its limits, and piled ever higher.
Within an invisible domain
