Gu's eyes flashed with a hint of gravity.
Yet before even one ten-millionth of an instant had passed, Zi Qin's indifferent gaze had already crossed the surging purple qi and landed on him.
Rumble!
Heaven and earth fell utterly silent. Before his eyes, it seemed that nothing remained but utter nothingness—even "nothingness" itself had become an exceedingly empty concept.
Matter, laws, and even the Dao ceased to exist, as though everything had returned to the primordial chaos before the beginning of all things.
Crack!
A streak of bright light, representing "creation," swept across this empty, utterly insubstantial "primordial chaos."
