The Eight Heavenly Thunders rang out one after another. Their rumbling echoed across heaven and earth, shaking the mountains and rivers, as if they might overturn the firmament.
After the Nine Heavenly Thunders resounded, all of heaven and earth fell into an instant void-like silence, so quiet it was as if nothing else existed.
Before long, Spirit Rain began to fall from the sky, pouring down like a curtain and covering the entire world.
Golden light appeared within Ye Jing, keeping the torrential rain of spiritual energy at bay.
"What is this..."
Ye Jing murmured, a strange glimmer in his eyes. The rain of spiritual energy seemed unusual, somehow different from the Spirit Rain inside the Perfect Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard of Ye Manor.
He held out his palm, and several drops of Spirit Rain fell into it. Bringing his hand before his eyes, Ye Jing used his Innate Divine Ability, "All Things Understood," to examine the mystery of the rain.
The Spirit Rain grew larger and larger in Ye Jing's eyes. He saw its structure with perfect clarity—even the paths traced by the particles of spiritual energy within each drop.
"Pure and Spotless, as clear as emptiness itself. There isn't a trace of impurity in this Spirit Rain!"
"Could this... could this actually be the legendary Innate Spiritual Energy?"
A storm surged through Ye Jing's heart. He was utterly astonished, and deep confusion showed in his eyes.
Ancient Texts recorded that, at the beginning of a Heaven and Earth Cataclysm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually increased. Only when the cataclysm reached its peak would an astonishing tide of spiritual energy appear.
He had never expected the Sixth Heaven and Earth Cataclysm to unleash such a mighty spectacle when it had only just begun!
