Leaping down into the pit, the rapid plummet they had expected never came.
The Light inside the pit converged into a radiant pillar, brimming with a holy aura. Enveloped within it, Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu descended at a steady, even pace, as if held aloft by an invisible hand.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the narrow shaft suddenly opened up. A massive subterranean space revealed itself, causing Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu to widen their eyes in awe.
They saw a dragon.
Or rather, the skeleton of a dragon, nearly a hundred meters long.
The enormous skeletal remains lay prone within the underground pit. Around the bleached white bones, countless glowing, pearl-white motes of Light surged and swirled. Drifting down from the opening high above, the two had a bird's-eye view of the breathtaking scene below.
"Is this... the God of Light?" Ji Xiaoyu murmured softly. "The god... was actually a dragon?"
