"Did that last man fall into darkness?" Ji Hao gazed farther into the distance.
Everything was pitch-black as ink, with no end in sight, as though he had passed beyond the edge of the universe.
There was no vitality here, nor any circulating essence qi. Death qi hung heavy, as though this were a kingdom of death.
Ji Hao made his move. A stream of light swept across the sky. He wanted to look toward the far end of these ruins, but an immense force soon descended between heaven and earth, blasting toward his techniques and Dao.
Ahead, Order Divine Chains crisscrossed like iron chains, sinister and flashing with dark light as they pierced toward him at tremendous speed.
Ji Hao stood motionless. His armor blazed with divine radiance, and the runes of the Three Thousand Great Daos evolved into a scene of primordial chaos.
Clang!
All the Order Divine Chains pulled taut, like divine spears wreathed in dark light and icy menace, piercing through heaven and earth. They were terrifying beyond measure.
Yet now, they could not penetrate the three inches of space surrounding Ji Hao.
Boundless and limitless, without beginning or end!
Light rose around Ji Hao, shielding him within. Immunity to All Techniques-not even the myriad realms could reach him!
Crack!
A foot from Ji Hao's body, all the divine chains snapped inch by inch, shattering into motes of light before blazing fiercely and being ground into nothingness.
Ji Hao stepped forward, walking through the ruins. In the distance stood crimson mountains towering into the heavens, alongside enormous rivers flowing with blood-red water. Undying across countless ages, they flowed silently, sending chills down his spine.
Statues stood along the roadside, all covered in dust. They looked very much like the divine likenesses of celestial generals and gods
