The stone statue continued to crack.
Its aura grew stronger and stronger.
Gradually.
Under the impact of that aura, space shattered and vanished inch by inch.
Qin Shujian stood with his hands behind his back. The space within a hundred feet of him remained perfectly calm, undisturbed in the slightest.
"Roar!"
An earth-shaking roar erupted from within the stone statue.
The chains binding the stone statue trembled wildly, striving to stop this terrifying being from breaking free of his seal.
Soon.
All the stone fell away, revealing what lay within the statue.
A beam of light from his eyes.
It pierced through the waters of the Death Sea and shot straight into the sky.
Thunder cracked across the clear sky, resounding throughout the Great Thousand World.
Every True Immortal of the Myriad Races instinctively looked up toward the Death Sea, their eyes filled with irrepressible horror.
"The being in the Death Sea has awakened!"
They understood.
The source of this disturbance was the terrifying being sealed within the Death Sea, who had fully awakened from his slumber.
No!
It was more than a simple awakening!
More likely, the seal had shattered completely.
Otherwise, there was no explaining why this disturbance was countless times greater than any before it.
And yet—
Though the True Immortals of the Myriad Races were horrified, they did not panic.
The Great Thousand World of today was no longer the Great Thousand World of the past.
With the Heavenly Emperor presiding over it, even if the being deep within the Death Sea broke free, he could still be subdued.
A Dao Fruit powerhouse!
Before this, none had ever emerged.
It could be said.
Qin Shujian's advancement had completely shattered the ceiling of cultivation in this era, taking him to an unprecedented realm.
A powerhouse like him.
