Atop Lonely Peak, the golden light faded away.
The Emperor Might that had descended from the heavens slowly subsided. The mountains and rivers of the Secret Realm, which had trembled for ten months, grew still once more. Only the vast lingering resonance of the emperor's path remained in the air, pressing the world into silence.
Li Yun sat cross-legged in the courtyard, eyes gently closed, savoring the terrifying reserves of power within him.
