Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh!!
Streams of escape light in every color, equally swift and panic-stricken, like exploding fireworks, shot madly toward every direction around Sea Suppressing Immortal City—even into the void above and below!
They tore through the fragile space, attempting to burrow into the gaps between dimensions, and some even directly activated blood-escape secret talismans kept for desperate times, ones that would damage their Dao foundations!
However.
Above the Cultivator Association headquarters, which had already become an absolute white wasteland...
that phantom light formed from dim particles of law condensed at a speed that defied all reason, surpassing the limits of understanding of these Half Venerable cultivators!
Before the first stream of escape light could fly beyond the outline of Sea Suppressing Immortal City's walls...
"Condense."
A calm voice, yet carrying supreme majesty, like a Dao utterance sounding directly upon the level of heaven-and-earth laws, rang out softly.
The dim motes of light filling the sky abruptly drew in their radiance, turning from illusory to solid in an instant!
A towering figure in a simple azure robe, black hair loose over his shoulders, with not a trace of Spirit Power leaking from his body and yet seemingly fused with the entire void of heaven and earth, stood suspended in thin air.
It was none other than Cheng Buzheng!
His face was somewhat pale, and the hem of his robe bore a few scorched marks.
His aura seemed to fluctuate slightly compared with his peak state, but his eyes, deep as a sea of stars, were now as cold as an abyss frozen for eternity.
Simply standing in the air, he seemed to make all the light in heaven and earth bend faintly toward him...
The invisible pressure even stopped the rubble and dust on the white wasteland below from rolling.
