In the eyes of the cultivators patrolling Shigu Flatland, the sun in the sky vanished almost instantaneously.
They saw black Qi erupt skyward from the center of the distant village, countless phantoms of Vengeful Ghosts howling as they circled and spread.
Any mortal touched by the black Qi turned to white bones in an instant, and bloodied, mangled evil ghosts crawled out of those bones, frantically lunging at the other living people.

Liu Ciming gazed at Jin Tianya atop White Bone Mountain, his resentment and fury building to their utmost.
Sweeping his Divine Sense over him, he could tell that the other man was doing nothing more than borrowing the Ink Treasure's power!

Spiritual power surged around him, and he no longer concealed his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.
Pale yellow lightning gradually gathered in his palm.

Within just a few breaths, he had fallen from the Foundation Establishment late stage to the Foundation Establishment middle stage!
He was even continuing to fall toward the Foundation Establishment early stage.
His realm was clearly still there, but it was like a painting: he could see it, yet could not use it.
