The World Beyond the Rift

(Here's the second update. First, thanks to reader Sui Feng丨Xiaoyao You for the tip. Some readers said Little Lolita was connected to the God of Light. Haha, you guessed wrong! How could Sixue write such a tired plot? This is a huge mystery. I bet none of you can guess the answer! Please support tomorrow's first subscription. Many thanks!)

An unprecedented black storm swept across the vast lava river.

The gale blew for three days and nights, forming a swiftly moving black storm belt three to four thousand kilometers long from east to west, four to five thousand kilometers wide from north to south, and nearly two thousand meters high.

The black wind belt spanned the river and cut through the endless Flame Forest. Nearly half the Flame Layer lay beneath its tyranny!

Wherever the storm passed, lava surged, waves of heat towered skyward, the earth cracked, and countless trees were torn out by the roots! Tens of thousands of living beings were driven from their homes.

Everything in its path looked like Hell. It was terrifying!

The immense winds swept up countless grains of sand, raising a wall that reduced visibility to almost zero wherever it passed.

Boom!

A wave nearly a hundred meters high crashed down, stirring even the lava dozens of meters below the surface!

The pitch-black crystal sphere, which had already retreated into deeper "water," had no choice but to dive farther. The Devil Garment's defenses were sturdy, but against such terrifying might of nature, going deeper into the lava was its only option!

Fortunately, the crystal-bodied creature could withstand tremendous heat and continue descending!

One hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

As the Black Crystal sphere sank, the storm around it gradually weakened, but everyone inside felt the heat mounting!
