A sigh slipped from Yun Qing's throat, and his wrist jolted.
The power of fortune from the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, the power of the embryonic Chaos World domain, and the power of the great Dao of emperor Lingxiao Dao all converged on the spear's edge. The shaft hummed like a dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry, as though answering its master's state of mind.
Perhaps Gu Princess had not noticed, or perhaps she had noticed but refused to admit it.
The closer a Heavenly Demon came to twisted madness, the stronger they became; the reverse brought their downfall.
