Lian observed with intense curiosity the man in front of him, who appeared to be only slightly older than himself. The aura surrounding this individual was wild and imperious, a presence that Lian hesitated to admit, but that resonated with a similarity to his own from distant times.
The most intriguing aspect was the man's cultivation. It was evident that he had recently reached the Realm of Spiritual Fusion. His mastery was still fluctuating, and the aura emanating from his divine soul escaped his control, echoing the vice leader's experience before his battle against the Bakunawa.
In a mortal world, it was considered impossible to break the barriers that separated mortality from the divine realm. However, the laws governing this continent were notably dissonant. Lian soon came to an inescapable conclusion: the demonic consciousness was linked to the Purplecloud clan, manipulating Qi to force the patriarch's evolution despite mortal restrictions.
