At the thought, Pei Ling immediately noticed the scene around him changing once more. The darkness receded like a tide, the nine pillars vanished like smoke, the blood-red coffin faded, and the crisscrossing chains quietly disappeared... Cold, silent starlight surged toward him like a raging sea, filling his entire field of vision in an instant.
He had entered an endless starry sky!

Her Scarlet Palace Attire reflected in her bright, phoenix-like eyes, and her bearing was innate and imposing.

Pei Ling remained calm, but sighed inwardly.
The one before him was not only the Heavenly Tribulation, but also the one sealed away in the Eternal Night Desert of the Panyai Realm in the future!
