High above the mortal world. There, the azure high sky of the Azure Cloud Realm met the cold expanse of the sub-space void, the sky didn’t merely crack—it bloomed.
The jagged golden fissure that Envoy Bai Ming’s war galleons had torn open twenty miles above the Floating Mountain shuddered under the huge pressure of the reversed drain tube. The sharp, violent edges of the space-folding wound dissolved. It stretched outward in a rapid, seamless blossom of blazing bright light that stretched forty miles across the stratosphere.
The entire hemisphere was instantly bathed in a breathtaking, otherworldly dawn. It was neither the harsh, scorching glare of the solar total ruin cannon nor the cold, dim light of mortal dusk. It was a rainbow-bright, liquid radiance that shone with the combined colors of molten amber, deep royal jade, and vibrant sky sapphire.
Then, the discharge arrived.
ROAAAARRRRRR—!
The sound was not an explosion. It was the majestic, eternal roar of an infinite cosmic river breaching its locks.
Out of the forty-mile portal poured a huge, roaring clouded eye of pure, packed, liquid-crystal-clear sky qi!
It fell from the heavens at one million two hundred thousand cubic meters per second. A staggering, thundering column of liquid origin essence, miles wide and glistening like diamond syrup, plunged downward through the stratosphere with the terrifying driving force of an eternal Niagara of the gods.
