The ocean trembled.
Endless waves rose toward the heavens before crashing back down with earth-shaking force.
Dark clouds gathered from every direction.
Lightning slithered through the sky like countless dragons.
The entire region had become a forbidden land.
Even the surviving enslaved beasts fled desperately.
Instinct warned them that something terrifying was about to appear.
Something far beyond their level.
Situ stood quietly upon the crimson ocean.
Around him floated the corpses of the eight Eighth Rank Great Dao Empyreans he had slain.
The blood of powerful creatures dyed the sea red.
The Sacred Flesh fragrance drifting from his body seemed strangely out of place amidst such slaughter.
The Five Animals Dao Marks beneath his skin moved slowly.
The Bear breathed.
The Tiger prowled.
The Crane stretched its wings.
The Deer walked elegantly.
The Monkey scratched its head.
Unlike the chaotic heavens around him, Situ remained calm.
Very calm.
