Rumble—!
As if the war drums of heaven and earth had been struck with savage force, the entire land shook violently. Mountains split apart, and valleys collapsed.
The area where Jin An stood seemed to have been torn open from below by an invisible force. Amid the billowing dust, eerie green light shone through the cracks, as though the veins of the earth's core had been violently pierced through.
Immediately afterward, countless brilliant lights surged wildly from beneath the ground. Those radiant liquids, energy essences resembling the source of life itself, danced, rushed, and churned through the shattered rock layers, erupting with deafening roars.
The temperature in the air suddenly soared. Scorching heat and oppressive pressure gripped everyone's hearts like an invisible hand.
These liquids were no ordinary substance. They were condensed primordial energy compressed to the extreme by heaven and earth, each drop seemingly capable of destroying a small island.
Even the members of God's Knights watching from afar changed expression, a trace of fear appearing in their eyes—
That was not an amount of energy ordinary people could control.
"What kind of power is this..."
One of the elders muttered, his voice carrying an uncontrollable tremor.
Crash—
The ocean-like torrent of energy liquid abruptly gathered in the trembling space into a jade-green pillar of water that shot into the sky, as though it had pierced through the heavens from the abyss beneath the earth. Even the firmament trembled.
At the top of the water pillar, a figure slowly rose against the current, robes fluttering wildly.
It was Jin An.
He stood at the very peak of the water pillar, like a war god about to descend upon the mortal world.
The azure sky reflected in his eyes, yet it did nothing to ease the gravity in his expression.
