In September, Lanling City basked in gentle sunlight, while the autumn breeze whispered softly.
But on the September grasslands, some places had already begun to snow. The weather was bitterly cold, and the land was frozen solid.
A Nether River, like a giant python wandering out of the deepest hells, suddenly emerged from the void and entered this frozen, snowbound land.
The chilling aura carried by the Nether River was colder than the ice and snow. Wherever it passed, the snowflakes in the air turned into tens of millions of frost flowers, shattering and scattering one after another.
Rumble—
A ghostly white sphere of light fell like a meteor, smashing heavily into the snowfield. It gouged out a huge crater and sent snow surging skyward in countless heaps.
When the white light faded, the prayer wheel within was revealed. It was engraved with images of the Six Paths—the Natal Magical Treasure of Qilian Guanshi, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel.
Only, the Natal Magical Treasure was now covered in cracks, its aura wildly unstable, as though it might explode at any moment!
Inside the prayer wheel, Qilian Guanshi sat cross-legged, his chest smeared with blood.
The Demon Spear, Tian Youpeng, had struck the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel with one thrust, grievously damaging the Natal Magical Treasure. Yet to Qilian Guanshi, that was not actually the deadliest wound.
The deadliest things were the collapse of the Sacred Mountain and the grassland's National Fortune being devoured by the Great Blue Dynasty's National Fortune!
As the grassland's true ruler, Qilian Guanshi possessed the greatest authority over its National Fortune. Thus, when the National Fortune was devoured, he also suffered the fiercest backlash!
He had originally estimated that the devouring of the National Fortune would still need some time to complete.
