章 672: Wormwood

A horn sounded from the end of the sky.

The people on the turbulent sea outside of the Ultimate could not help but look up at the violently changing heavens.

It was as if a huge brass horn had been sounded, but when they looked in the direction that the sound came from, they could see no one. It was even difficult to sense with their aetheric perception.

Something terrible began to rise slowly from the fissure.

It was a star.
