The void shuddered. An invisible, intangible force of immense size appeared out of nowhere and slowly rippled across the surroundings. In an instant, the sky turned pitch-black and the earth seemed to stand still. Only the streak of purple lightning that pierced heaven and earth shone proudly, its deep violet arcs flashing without pause.
Above, dark clouds churned and bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky. A purple bolt instantly coalesced into a giant mass of thunder more than ten feet across. It rolled slowly as streaks of purple lightning slithered into it like snakes. The rumbling thunder boomed from within, low and resonant, making even the earth tremble.
Boom!
A thunderous crash, like the creation of heaven and earth, rang through the world. Thunderclouds surged and shook; heaven and earth shattered. Wild winds rose, magma churned, and the entire strange world seemed to quake violently! This was an ocean of lightning. Bolts poured down in surging torrents, thunder that could shatter everything, blazing with dazzling intensity until all heaven and earth were awash in purple.
The thunder nearly burst people's eardrums and shattered their souls. It stretched from heaven to earth, vast and boundless, like the Milky Way pouring down from the highest heavens, as if countless stars were crashing from above. The void itself was blasted apart, left in ruins, but it was soon swallowed up, for the lightning blazed ever brighter, its blinding radiance filling every inch of space.
Purple lightning surged like a tide. This was a world of lightning that could destroy all things, filling hearts with dread and making their hair stand on end. The black Platform of Investiture stood proudly amid the raging lightning, constantly absorbing its pure energy. At the same time, countless wisps of black qi drifted from the Platform of Investiture.
