Thud.
“......”
For a moment, the entire battlefield froze. Even the martial masters of Taemo Mountain Fortress, who had been spreading a net of lightning-blue internal energy to reinforce their formation, suddenly halted in place.
An overwhelming silence swept across the land, and from the bottom of the hill, the voice of Cheongsu Jin-in, who had been sharpening his sword aura, echoed in disbelief.
"Was he executed...?"
It was none other than the head of Cheongseong Sect who openly displayed both shock and relief. And he had every reason to.
At this very moment, all across Hangzhou, vast fields had withered, and narrow streams had dried up. Ordinary citizens, witnessing these strange phenomena, had begun seeking the protection of government shrines, famous temples, and Daoist sanctuaries, praying for peace in the city.

Those well-versed in the ways of Jianghu knew the cause of it all. The experts here needed no further explanation.
Each time the Dark Heaven Emperor cast a single technique, the grand gardens of entire estates would be reduced to barren wastelands.
Even uncultivated plains and low mountains were no exception. His massive spell formations devoured the natural energies of the land itself.
