Bang!
Thunder erupted out of nowhere!
With a swing of the Black Rod, space shattered.
Xuandou's robes billowed, intense killing intent flashing across his brow. He charged into the wind, unleashing the utmost of his strength as he swept his arm out.

Soon, those spots of red rapidly expanded, becoming vividly
