The void fractured.
The universe shook.
Endless radiant clouds spilled down like curtains hanging from the heavens, displaying their splendor amid the world-destroying upheaval.
Then.
The colossal body, hundreds of trillions of feet tall, began shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At last.
A man dressed in black robes appeared before Qin Shujian.
The spear also descended, hovering silently beside the Black-Robed Man.

Only Qin Shujian beside him could give him the same feeling.
In the void.
The two men gazed at each other in silence.
After a long while.
Qin Shujian spoke calmly. "Qin Shujian, Heavenly Emperor of the Great Thousand World's Celestial Court!"
"Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!"
The Black-Robed Man, also known as Luo Hou, spoke just as calmly.
After speaking.
A faint ripple seemed to stir in Luo Hou's eyes, which resembled dark abysses.
"I never expected this era to produce someone as powerful as you. That is something of a surprise!"
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian did not answer. He merely searched his memories for information about Luo Hou.
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!?
In truth.
He had never heard that name in his memories.
Qin Shujian had met most of the Dao Fruit cultivators from previous eras. Even those he had never met were names he could learn from other Dao Fruit cultivators.
But.
The name Luo Hou
