Regarding this third calamity, Xu Taiping's left eye had seen only two scenes in all-
"Red Lightning falling ceaselessly from the sky."
"A blurred figure breaking into Mysterious Cloud Hall amid a sky full of blood rain."
At first glance, aside from the somewhat eerie "Red Lightning" and "blood rain," these two scenes differed little from what he had seen of the first two calamities.
But when Xu Taiping considered everything happening in the Imperial Capital at that moment and looked at the two scenes again, the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
First, the vision of "Red Lightning" had lasted almost from beginning to end.
The first time he saw it, he had noticed nothing unusual. Looking closely now, however, those repeated lightning strikes seemed like an hourglass, reminding him that something terrible was descending.
Something will definitely happen once the lightning ends.
That was Xu Taiping's deduction at that moment.
Next was the figure that had broken into Mysterious Cloud Hall amid the sky full of blood rain.
At first glance, this scene seemed merely to warn Xu Taiping that this person would be the enemy he faced in this calamity.
But when Xu Taiping looked again, he discovered something wrong.
His death had occurred almost the instant he saw this person.
There are only two possibilities: either I have no power whatsoever to fight back against this person, or, like the Yin God I encountered in the Wilderness, this person possesses an ability that means I cannot look directly at them.
His mind racing, Xu Taiping speculated inwardly.
Xu Taiping felt the first possibility was unlikely.
Fairy Lingyue had said that beings against whom he currently had no power to resist were constrained by the Great Dao and would not readily manifest before the world.
