"Is this what you called the lost paradise?"
Ahead, lightning surged and layers of mist and the force of curses interwove, rendering the area a blur of mystery and danger.
A few miles away lay a vast garden, its scope broad and indistinct.
But it was certain that the Heavenly River originated there and was also the source of the curse.
Beside Han Zhong stood a Lei Pi, immense in size, its body glistening with purple scales, emanating a strong blood essence. It resembled a tiger with an ox's tail, and its roar was like that of a barking dog.
It looked as amazed as if it had seen a ghost, for it had truly laid eyes on the lost paradise.
The Lei Pi's heart felt furry with fear; its kind had lived in the Heavenly End Secret Realm generation after generation, growing up hearing legends about the Heavenly River and the source of the curse, the lost paradise.
