Golden markings lit up one after another across the Rift-Splitting Silverwing Beast's belly.
Silver flames poured from its wound. They gave off no heat, yet even light was sliced into scattered flecks wherever they passed. The flames burned the essence it had amassed over 260,000 years, turning every silver feather transparent.
The deep pit beneath Bai Jin's feet suddenly vanished.
Earth, bedrock, and the giant beast were shifted a thousand meters into the sky, then swapped places with the clouds overhead. The forest for miles around was cut into blocks of every size. Ancient trees lay sideways in the sky, and rain poured upward from all directions.
Tang San had barely found his footing when the ground behind him reared up.
The Titan Giant Ape shielded Xiao Wu with one hand and drove the other into the earth. Its Gravity Domain spread outward, forcing the surrounding soil and stone back into place.
"It's destroying every coordinate!" Tang San's Purple Demon Eye raced. "If this keeps up, the entire area will be dragged into the spatial turbulence!"
"Little San, take Xiao Wu back," Bai Jin said, looking up.
"I can help."
"Of course you can." Bai Jin smiled. "So help me look after her. I won't have time to fish anyone out of the turbulence later."
Tang San was about to speak again when Qian Renxue dropped from a tree beside him.
"Listen to him."
Blood still seeped from the wound behind her shoulder, but her grip on the Angel Holy Sword was steady. A golden domain opened into a circle of light, sheltering Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.
"What about you?" Tang San asked.
"I'll light his way."
Bai Jin looked up at her. "That sounded rather touching."
"Shut up and focus."
"So fierce."
