Through a small opening in the Netherworld's spatial barrier, a man poked his head out and took a look around.

So Liu Zhi decided to destroy it.
In an instant, Liu Zhi made up his mind.
Beneath the Dark Sky Curtain, Liu Zhi drew his sword in a flash. A simple Z appeared at the tip of the Thunder God's Destroyer Fang.
