"Breaking the Void?"
"That was what they called Eighth Tier?"
"It was rather apt."
Jiang Qiao stood by the roadside, looking toward several old men spinning in place outside the distant town. Scattered at his feet were some old grave soil, several pieces of flesh, and more than a dozen cracked coffin nails.
