A blazing cry burst from a fire phoenix, soaring into the nine heavens before transforming into a fierce sun.
A fissure split the ground beneath, dividing it in two, with countless people and beasts falling into the chasm, piling up in an ever-growing mass of bodies.
This eventually became the Sanguine Sea—a burial ground of countless immortals and beasts.
The piece of land that broke away became the Ten Thousand Floating Island.
Amalia saw a massive Pixiu—no, it was the legendary Nine Heaven Pixiu, leading its kin into battle against the immortals. In the end, they perished together.
The remaining Nine Heaven Pixiu tried to flee, only to be betrayed by former allies, suffering heavy losses and facing relentless pursuit.
Just as Amalia wanted to see more, she blinked and found herself back in that dark corridor.
There were no fire phoenixes, no waterfall, no immortals, and no Nine Heaven Pixiu.
