The 2,741st Epoch: Lord of the Human Dao

Guangchengzi was the first to climb the stone steps before Yuxu Palace.

Ji Fa and the Nine-Tailed Fox followed. With every step, the gray demonic energy around them grew denser.

The demonic energy did not attack, but it could corrode the primordial spirit and erode laws.
