Fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck... you!
That full-throated shout rang out across the desert that had long since become ruins, its echoes reverberating through the sands.
The enormous Sky-Piercing Giant Pillar seemed to be awakened by Ouyang's shout.
Vast clouds of sand and dust rose throughout the desert, and the mummies covering the pillar as densely as fish scales began to sway slightly.
As though responding to Ouyang's full-throated shout.
Ouyang gazed at the towering pillar before him with a smile in his eyes, but in his ears rang the bold declaration Li Taibai had once made when Ouyang traveled back to the Elder Ancient Era to witness him slay the Immortals.
"I, Li Taibai, am willing to become Heaven and Earth’s Spine, to hold up Heaven and Earth for All Living Beings Under Heaven!"
Was this Sky-Piercing Giant Pillar probably that "backbone"?
He had witnessed the entire course of Li Taibai's Immortal-Slaying. As Li Taibai slew every Immortal under heaven, Ouyang had watched quietly from the sidelines.
When the Immortals folded the sky, intending to smash Heaven and Earth together, Li Taibai had willingly become Heaven and Earth’s Spine, holding up this world for all its living beings.
The Sky-Piercing Giant Pillar Li Taibai had transformed into had flashed between Heaven and Earth for only an instant, but Ouyang had seen it.
That pillar looked far too much like the Sky-Piercing Giant Pillar before him!
If all of this was the work of Heaven and Earth’s Spine, which Li Taibai had become, then everything made sense.
Between Heaven and Earth, aside from those Immortals of the Elder Ancient Era, Li Taibai really was the only one capable of such a feat!
Behind Ouyang, Hui Zhi stared at his back in astonishment, not knowing why Ouyang had suddenly shouted that name.
