"At last, everyone was here."
A faint sigh suddenly drifted out from the void in the Ninth Heaven, echoing through the boundless Stellar Sea...
"Li Qingshan! Li Qingshan is coming out to fight!"
In an instant, countless prying gazes turned toward the pitch-black void. Even Yi Xing and Heaven's Mandate secretly let out a breath, unable to stop themselves from glancing back.
However,
There was nothing!
After that sigh, not the slightest movement came from the dark void. Nor did the imagined Galaxy Giant appear!
"Th-this..."
Yi Xing and Heaven's Mandate looked at each other, their expressions shifting several times. Just as they were about to speak, they seemed to sense something and abruptly fell silent.
At the same time,
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't he supposed to make a move? Where is he?"
"Does Li Qingshan think tossing out one sentence can scare all the Divine Lords away... huh?!!!"
In every corner of the Stellar Sea, the watchers seemed to sense something as well. Like Yi Xing and Heaven's Mandate outside the void in the Ninth Heaven—
They slowly raised their heads and looked toward the Supreme Sky Dome, then...
Every eye flew wide open.
Nothing. There was nothing at all!
A moment ago, cracks had torn savagely across the Supreme Sky Dome. Nine terrifying figures, their Divine Might soaring to the heavens, had occupied it. Their Divine Might was like a prison, pressing the light from billions upon billions of stars into darkness and nearly shattering the souls of all living beings.
They were incarnations of rules, Eternal rulers, imprints that not even the will of the Universe could easily erase.
The next moment—
They... vanished.
There was no warning, no aftermath of an energy eruption, no trace of space being torn apart, and no dying wail of struggle.
