The clouds parted.
A Bronze Pillar came crashing down from the sky, slamming into the ground.
It swayed slightly, then quickly stood upright!
The orange cat couldn't help stopping and gazing into the distant sky.
A skeleton was nailed to the Bronze Pillar, its arms tightly bound with black chains.
The skeleton had only an upper body. Its lower half was long gone.
Two dim gray flames burned in its eye sockets. It cried out, "All things shall fall into obscurity, and I am the master of all obscurity."
Boom--
Ash-gray mist poured from the Bronze Pillar, spreading in every direction.
Figures began to appear within the mist.
The envoys of the Obscurity Sequence!
The orange cat didn't watch any longer.
It quietly took two steps back, turned around, and continued racing toward the depths of the Land of Eternal Chaos.
--There were already two Bronze Pillars that had descended into the Land of Eternal Chaos.
Next...
More Sequence Lords would certainly descend.
And the orange cat's strength was limited. It simply couldn't take part in a battle like this.
The only thing it could do was--
Hurry to the Sea of Weapons and see if it could find the cultivators' next inheritance.
That was the path to becoming stronger for cultivators!
The orange cat raced through the wind, occasionally letting out a soft meow.
Every so often, it would vanish from where it stood and appear tens of thousands of miles away.
It was close.
It was drawing nearer and nearer to the Sea of Weapons!
Suddenly, a bloodied man appeared ahead.
The moment he appeared, he dropped to one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dozens of horrifying wounds covered his body.
"Listen. I may not be able to see you, but I know you're nearby."
