An hour had passed since Zhao Hai erased his traces and fled.
The rumbling at the bottom of the ten-thousand-mile sinkhole had fallen completely silent.
The hundred-zhang-wide opening in the azure restriction closed inward, becoming a seamless curtain of light once more and sealing the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine shut.
