Boom!!!
With a deafening blast, the spatial rift was ruthlessly torn open, a black crack seeming to swallow the entire sky.
Violent energy waves swept through the surroundings, shaking the air like a raging storm.
Accompanied by a tearing crack, a massive black maw within the rift slowly writhed, emanating an incomparably terrifying aura.
That bottomless, abyss-like mouth opened inch by inch, as though it intended to devour heaven and earth whole.
Black mist surged from the rift like thick black water, rapidly filling the surrounding space.
The air was saturated with a rotten stench, as if the life force of every living thing had vanished in an instant.
That power was heavy and suffocating, making even breathing extraordinarily difficult.
The sky instantly dimmed. Light gradually faded, and even the stars at the horizon seemed to be swallowed, leaving only a black vortex spinning without end.
The distant mountains and earth seemed to sense the threat of this power, trembling faintly. Some fragile buildings even began to collapse.
"What... is that?"
A trembling voice rang out, as though the pulse of the entire world had been seized by that massive black mouth.
A pair of indifferent eyes emerged from within the giant maw, like the eyes of an evil deity.
Those eyes were vacant, seemingly devoid of any emotion. Their gaze swept straight across heaven and earth, as if every living being in their sight was nothing more than a swarm of insignificant ants, utterly meaningless.
Under that gaze, even the atmosphere became oppressive and heavy, as though every inch of air had frozen solid. Time itself seemed to stop in that instant.
Everything around them became incomparably small. Those eyes were like a king in the darkness, looking down upon all things and ruling this world.
