An Lin opened his eyes and was immediately struck by a strong sense of feebleness.
His legs almost gave out from under him.
"I… I became a mortal?"
He was astonished to find that he had no strength in his body, and he couldn't even detect the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth.
An Lin looked around at his surroundings to discover that he was situated on a huge, floating stone amid a vast expanse of grey murkiness. Beneath this floating stone were countless sharp sabers all pointing upward.
"What is this place? Wasn't I transcending a tribulation? How did I end up here?
"Is this a dream? Or an illusionary realm?
"Maybe I was knocked out by the lightning, and this is just a hallucination?"
An Lin muttered to himself before drawing his Evil-Slaying Sword and slashing down upon his arm.
Splat!
Blood splattered into the air.
Blood splattered all over An Lin's face.
