Heaven-Cleaving Desolate Ridge was an enormous mountain range, stretching for more than a hundred thousand miles.
The range was densely packed with countless perilous peaks and deep valleys. Its tallest peak rose more than thirty thousand meters high, while its deepest valley sank over ten thousand meters beneath the earth.
