Divine Obsession; Are You Devouring Jashin?

Eight hundred li to the southeast.

The scenery here was completely different from the area of the Land of the Gods they had just passed through.

The mist was no longer grayish-purple, but an eerie dark red, as though diluted blood filled the air.

The ground seemed to be made of some sort of dark-red crystal, crunching crisply beneath their feet.
