The skies and the land suddenly fell into darkness.
Black smoke endlessly shot in all directions. Pillars of black smoke appeared like pitch-black tendrils which slowly extended outward. They would drop toward areas several hundred kilometers away.
The giant black crane was Lu Sheng's reincarnation spirit which he had gained insight into through his experience of nearly 100 years.
The reincarnation spirit was the true form of a cultivator's soul after gaining insight into the reincarnation heart.
Lu Sheng had once thought that his soul's true form would be the Eight-Headed Devil Art. However, the instant he gained complete insight, he understood that his soul's true form was constantly changing throughout his Arrivals while he assimilated his own selves through the Other Worlds.
These changes depended on the nature of his heart's image.
