Lin Heng looked in the direction Hua Qi was pointing, and was startled at once.
On the distant skyline...
The horizon of the entire Northern Domain seemed to have sunk by a notch.

It was not a Heavenly Dao phenomenon, nor was it some spiritual light taking form.
It was simply a plain, ordinary human eye, only incomparably huge, embedded in the edge of the sky.
