The Ocean Rift Seal Lands remained silent as always.
Endless black-gray tides surged across the heavens.
Ancient ruined continents drifted slowly through the darkness.
Occasionally—
massive shadows moved beneath the Grandmist ocean.
Each movement carried pressure capable of suffocating worlds.
Yet amidst this forbidden land—
Situ continued cultivating.
Boom.
Gray-black aura surrounded his body continuously.
The surrounding Grandmist Qi no longer attacked him as violently as before.
Instead—
tiny strands flowed slowly around him like curious serpents.
His flesh had already transformed drastically.
Every bone within his body carried faint gray markings.
His blood no longer shone crimson entirely.
Traces of black-gray radiance mixed within it now.
Even his heartbeat had changed.
Heavy.
Slow.
Ancient.
Like the beating of a primordial creature sleeping within endless chaos.
Boom.
The Nine-Colored Deer watched from afar silently.
