Clouds Gather from All Directions

In the Southern Wilderness, an unseen spiritual resonance was gathering.

"The Celestial Phenomenon Realm... I wonder what mysteries it holds."

In the void, Jiang Chen raised his head. Clouds and mist churned above him, forming a sea of clouds where the Mist Flood Dragon's true dragon body lay coiled. As time passed, the Mist Flood Dragon's preparations reached their limit. All it lacked was an opportunity to break through.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, two pairs of eyes silently watched the Southern Wilderness.
