High in the stormy heavens, Bead Number One and Bead Number Two locked together in an apocalyptic gravitational dance.
Driven by Ancestor Nu Xing and Ancestor Du Gu’s dark origin fire, the two three-hundred-mile neutron stars began spinning around each other at ninety percent the speed of light.
The twin beads were not merely dead celestial matter.
Bead Number One had been forged from sixty trillion tons of collapsed adamantine, soaked in the blood of ten thousand enslaved sects.
Bead Number Two was encrusted with millions of toxic derivative runes that devoured light, heat, and spiritual qi.
As they spun, the sheer rotational velocity warped dimensional space into a terrifying, screaming black-hole buzzsaw.
Void rifts tore open across the sky, spitting jagged streams of dark-matter lightning.
The sound alone shattered stone towers ten miles away, vibrating with high-frequency sonic fury that cracked mountain peaks and boiled atmospheric moisture into steam.
