Xu Nian stood, a colossal stone gate floating eerily behind him.
The gate towered into the clouds, stretching a full three thousand li in height.
With the emergence of this stone gate, a deathly aura slowly enveloped Xu Nian.
On either side of the giant gate stood two massive stone statues.
They were anomalies, yet they exuded a lifelike, tangible quality.
"Buzz!"
With the appearance of the stone gate,
An ashen power surged forth from the sword in Xu Nian's hand.
This power, upon its emergence, filled the entire hall with a thick, deathly presence.
"Shatter for me!"
Xu Nian bellowed, his sword slashing directly at the incoming purple sword light.
"Boom!"
The purple sword light collided with Xu Nian's blade,
Producing a thunderous sound that shook the heavens.
The once-mighty blade
Vanished into thin air under Xu Nian's sword.
"What kind of power is this?" The crowd around suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
They knew this ashen power
