Chapter 265: Heaven’s Might (3)

CRACK-K-K-K-K!

A sound like the shattering of a continental-sized mirror echoed across the sky.

The Nine Heavens Ward—the ancient seal created by the founding gods of the Nine Provinces, designed exclusively for binding the demonic Hollow Beyond—was caught in the crossfire of the Heavenly Dao's localized wrath. The seal, which Emperor Tianxu had noted was already beginning to weaken, could not withstand the sheer escalation of Heaven Might directed at Lin Yuan.

The ancient ward began to crack further. Massive, jagged black fissures tore open in the sky above Sky Jade City, resembling bleeding wounds in the firmament.

Instantly, a horrifying, suffocating miasma poured through the cracks.

It was a demonic aura, putrid and heavy, carrying the exact same sickly, rotting scent as the Blood Asura Dao that the vengeful assassin Xie Chen had unleashed earlier.
