The gray, deathly silent skies of Douluo World were suffocatingly oppressive.
All living beings across the world knelt with their heads bowed. The servility instilled into countless beings by the gods over hundreds of millions of years had seeped into their bones; before the Outer Darkness, they did not even have the courage to look up. Only at the peak of the sea of clouds did Li Xuan stand tall in white robes, neither kneeling nor bowing, fearless and unyielding, facing alone the Dark Envoy that stood above all gods.
The stark contrast struck fiercely at the hearts of every original powerhouse.
They had long grown accustomed to obeying those above them, to living humbly in desperate survival, to being penned and slaughtered. Never had they imagined that someone in this world could face the darkness head-on, straighten his back, and resist the supreme beings of the heavens.
The blood-red Sky Screen flooded wildly with comments as shock swept through the entire world.
[Everyone else has knelt themselves into the ground, while the boss alone remains standing!] [This is the one who truly shattered every lie of Douluo World!] [The gods cultivated servility for ages, yet they could not tame the one transcendent being.] [The Dark Envoy crushes all gods, but today it has finally met its match.] [For the first time in hundreds of millions of years of darkness in Douluo World, someone dares to confront it head-on.]
In the void at the heart of the continent, the black-clad Dark Envoy slowly turned its head.
Its hollow, pitch-black eyes locked onto the white figure in the clouds. For the first time, the dark aura that had lain dormant for endless years surged violently.
It had traveled through countless planes and seen countless living beings raised as livestock.
