The Nine Heavens Thunder Pool Poured Over Qingzhou; Five Qi Returned to the Origin to Forge a Golden Core!
BOOM!!!
When those ink-black heavenly Dao tribulation clouds fully formed above Qingzhou, all light vanished from the heavens and earth across Great Zhou's Southwest in an instant.
It was noon, yet Qingzhou's territory, spanning millions of miles, abruptly plunged into a darkness purer than the deepest eternal night.
