Chapter 2228
- Looking up, the entire Mystic Mountains stretched between heaven and earth like a primordial world behemoth that had slept for countless eons, its towering spine piercing the clouds and completely blocking out the light of the sky.
- There was no birdsong or insect chatter here, no rustling of wind through leaves. Even the sound of air flowing had been utterly devoured. Deathly silence was the only theme of this world.
- When silence reached its extreme, it became terror. No external sound reached the ears. One could only clearly hear one's own heartbeat, the flow of blood, even the faint tremor of soul essence within the body. It was as if an invisible hand covered the entire world, causing even time itself to stagnate and rot.
