At the summit of the Sun God Tree in the Primordial Treasure Realm.
Golden solar flames surged like waves, illuminating the surrounding world in dazzling splendor.
Ye Xuan stood atop the crown of the tree, holding half of the World Mountain in his hand.
The section of mountain was grayish brown and looked no bigger than a palm, yet it was unimaginably heavy.

"Rumble!"
