Ten days later.
Outside Heaven Dou City, Falling Star Valley lay shrouded in serene mist. It had long been a vital stronghold where the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Pontiff Elders cultivated in seclusion and guarded the capital region.
The wind was still and the trees quiet. Dozens of imperial guards stood watch outside while ten imperial Pontiff Elders attended to their duties, their auras steady. None had expected annihilation to descend so suddenly.
