In an instant, Yun Che’s consciousness was completely engulfed by those four words.

It was as if he saw four beams of sword light, cleaving through time and space from the primordial dawn to reach him. They silently and imperceptibly—but also flawlessly—severed his soul sea from his body and carried it into a boundless voice constructed entirely of sword intent.
