Boom!
The earth shook and the mountains trembled as yin qi and death qi gradually spread through Clear Harmony City.
Old Dai and Old Liu swallowed, their eyes filled with horror and dread. For a moment, they stood frozen, at a loss for what to do.
As close guards of the Wu Kingdom Imperial Family, they had been nurtured with its resources and attained considerable cultivation in the sha ingestion gang devoration path. Both were Seven-Turn Qi Refining Perfected Persons, each possessing two divine abilities.
In the mortal world, such cultivation was enough to make ordinary people worship them as immortals and kneel before them.
Yet even they could not comprehend what that colossal thing before them, wreathed in yin qi and death qi, actually was.
Qi Refining Perfected Persons had lifespans of only a hundred and twenty years. Without sufficiently profound blessings and fortune, it was difficult to break that limit. Thus, even those who had heard of the Nether Bureau and knew that its Nether Bureau Inspectors roamed Heaven and Earth in the Azure Firmament Dust-Dyed Realm generally knew them only by hearsay. Few had ever seen one in person.
The images of Nether Bureau Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Officials in Old Dai's and Old Liu's minds were little different from those held by ordinary people, all drawn from folk operas. Now that they had seen a Nether Bureau Ghost Soldier with their own eyes, it was so utterly unlike their imaginings that they could not recognize it.
For one thing, the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Officials of operas and legends were usually no taller than humans. How could they tower a hundred thousand feet high and shake the earth and mountains with every step?
"Wh... what is that thing?" Old Liu's face went white as he stammered.
