The blazing beam carried terrifying power, its radiance illuminating the entire coastline. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cannon fire thundered.
Countless crimson Golden Light Pillars shot skyward from the Feng Qiya Continent. Its anti-aircraft batteries were trying to intercept the sudden attack.
However...
The Golden Light Pillar was too fast.
The crimson beams had no chance to intercept it and were left far behind. Even the occasional shot that anticipated its trajectory burned away under the power radiating from the Golden Light Pillar before it could get close.
Until...
The blazing beam penetrated deep into the Feng Qiya Continent and struck somewhere in the mountains.
Even from hundreds of kilometers away, flames could clearly be seen surging into the sky, followed by an enormous mushroom cloud. Several breaths later...
A deafening explosion rolled in from the horizon, and even the ground trembled faintly.
Nobody knew where the attack had come from, yet everyone knew where it had come from.
The group leader of the Mortal Domain Shadow Pavilion stationed on the Feng Qiya Continent stared at the distant mushroom cloud in shock. Dagger in hand, he watched the soldiers guarding the eerie stones nearby, his eyes flickering with vigilance.
It looked like war was about to break out.
He had yet to receive specific orders.
He could not act rashly.
Once they received an official declaration of war or permission to retaliate at will, it would be their turn to act.
As people of the Mortal Domain, they stood guard here. Without question, their tiny force was nowhere near enough. They would surely die.
His excitement made his body begin to tremble.
As for the soldiers opposite them...
The soldiers the Feng Qiya Continent had dispatched to guard the five billion eerie stones were also staring blankly at the distant mushroom cloud.
