Uwaaaah—
The next instant, panicked screams erupted one after another.
They came from the onlookers who had been watching from a distance.
Everyone had become like startled birds — they lost all ability to remain airborne and tumbled from the sky, crashing wretchedly to the ground.
It was the pressure — the pressure of that black-robed figure.
With the
With a mere thought, he could dominate everything.
"I never imagined that you lot would end up like this today."
Looking at the crowd sprawled across the ground, the black-robed man let out a chilling laugh.
As for the crowd, it naturally included its share of people with backbone. These individuals had already steeled themselves for death, embracing a fearless resolve. One after another, they cursed and denounced him — some even hurled the foulest abuses, hoping to spite the black-robed man one final time before they perished.
But there were also many who, faced with death, were so terrified that they soiled themselves. Some wept and wailed while begging for mercy.
Yet the more they did so, the heavier the black-roled man's laughter became.
"Begging is useless. You wretched, lowly beasts — today, all of you… will become lost souls in this place," the black-robed man said coldly.
The moment those words left his mouth, the pleas for mercy truly diminished significantly. People realized that there was no hope for them whatsoever.
In that moment, even the air itself was saturated with the stench of despair.
"In my view, that may not necessarily be true."
However, just when everyone had resigned themselves to their deaths, an unexpected, booming voice shattered the silence from within that clearing.
The sound of it stunned everyone present.
There were only three people in that clearing — the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief, Tantai Yinjian, and the black-robed man.
But that voice had clearly not been uttered by any of the three.
"That voice — could it be?"
"Don't tell me…"
At the same time, many in the crowd recognized the owner of that voice.
Yet they were almost unwilling to believe it, because they hadn't truly hoped for that person to appear here.
"Stop lurking in the shadows. Show yourself!"
Unlike the crowd's speculation, the black-robed man simply struck out directly.
Owwww—
With a single sweep of his enormous sleeve, visible martial power surged forth in violent, rolling waves — its momentum terrifying, its presence horrifying.
In the blink of an eye, that overwhelming martial power coalesced into a colossal beast that hovered above the void.
The beast stood a thousand meters tall and stretched ten thousand meters long. Once formed, it roared repeatedly and hurtled toward the direction from which the voice had come.
Hummm—
However, before the awe-inspiring martial beast had flown very far, it suddenly froze in place. It then dissolved into a massive cloud of mist that scattered in every direction.
"This!!!"
The crowd was baffled, unable to understand why such a powerful martial beast had suddenly disintegrated and vanished into nothing.
But the black-robed man, on the other hand, had grown somewhat panicked.
"Who are you — how could you possibly command the power of this place?"
He had already realized that the other party's ability to effortlessly destroy his martial beast did not come from their own strength. It came from… the power of the
"If I hadn't mastered this power, do you really think I'd have dared to challenge the Clan Chief of the
