At that moment, above the firmament of "Xin Guang Tian," the layers of space within the enormous cracks spanning the sky rippled like glass mirrors.
Amid the interweaving light and shadows, a colossal phantom large enough to blot out the clouds slowly emerged. Its outline flickered in the wavering space, yet it already radiated a suffocating pressure.
The phantom floated amid the layers of turbulent space, its entire form illusory and ethereal, like a faded image stripped of every color.
Only its general outline could barely be made out. Even its edges constantly twisted and blurred within the ripples of space.
Even with Su Fan's eyes widened as he desperately tried to pierce the faintly glowing spatial barrier, he still could not see the phantom's true form.
He could only sense that terrifying aura far beyond the mortal realm slowly spreading down through the cracks.

A roar that shook heaven and earth suddenly came from the depths of the crack. The sound wave was like a solid hammer, slamming hard into Su Fan's chest.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The warm liquid slid down the corner of his mouth, while a buzzing filled his ears. Even his consciousness blurred briefly, and the scene before him swayed.
Before he could recover, a massive claw covered in dark scales suddenly reached out from the crack.
Cold light gleamed along the edges of the scales. Each one was the size of a millstone, reflecting a sinister sheen beneath the dim sky.
The claws at its fingertips were like curved steel blades. Simply hanging naturally, their razor-sharp tips caused the ground below to be pressed by invisible Demonic Power into five ravines several zhang deep.
Threads of black Demonic Energy still lingered in the ravines, scorching the vegetation around
