Black clouds pressed down over the abyss, thunder rolling like an angry tide.
Dust swirled across all of Yuyuan. Even beneath the torrential rain, it was steeped in the desolation unique to ruins left in the wake of a great battle.
All things withered and decayed. An air of death and desolation slowly spread.
The Xun Mu, snapped in two, resembled a collapsed mountain range. Its former terrifying aura had vanished; it seemed no more than an ordinary dead tree, save for its immense size, abandoned in the wilderness to the wind and rain.
