A high altitude a thousand miles from the city.
Nearly ten Legendary Level creatures were caught in an intense battle, each displaying their magical powers, making the heavens and earth change color.
Suddenly, a blinding sunburst of light erupted, scorching the land within a hundred miles to ash.
In the ashes, a World Tree wrapped in copious amounts of black qi stood tall and unyielding, unaffected by the scorching sunlight.
It was the black qi that protected the World Tree.
The black qi absorbed the sunlight, saving the World Tree from the torment of incineration.
Boom—!
Suddenly, the earth violently shook.
The ground cracked open with dozens of fissures, oozing strands of chillingly cold death qi.
The next second!
From within the cracks, massive numbers of grotesque shadows crawled out, forming a vast legion of the dead that rushed towards Qin Chuan and the other city defenders.
