Lightning flashed as tribulation clouds loomed dark.
Supreme Demon Lord, Demon Lord Ji Ge, Song Yuan, and Cao True Person stood above the grotto-heaven, each holding one direction. Vast clear radiance, drawn forth by the four Void Domain experts, gradually canceled out the power of the heavenly lightning.
Looking down, the grotto-heaven's boundary walls continuously reverted into "Primordial Scarlet Script," then condensed into "Heaven-and-Earth Talismans," before the "talismans" finally transformed into the true forms of all natural things.
