Seizing

High above the heavens.

The "White Star" formed from vast righteous qi had already been tottering amid the spectacle of Grotto-Heavens falling and gods, immortals, Buddhas, and devils all being cast down into the mortal world.

Now, the destruction of the web of Causality dealt it another terrifying blow!
