When that cracking sound rang out, it reverberated through the entire Dao Lord Domain Heaven and Earth.
Liu Dongqing's three-thousand-li Dao Lord Domain Heaven and Earth had already covered, encroached upon, and permeated more than forty percent of Hechu's twelve-hundred-li domain. It was about to reach fifty percent.
