The vortex of primordial mana, along with various elemental energies, intensified around Kallus as the speed of his cultivation cycles increased with each passing moment. The ground trembled violently, yet within a five-meter radius around him, everything remained untouched—a zone of eerie stillness amidst the surrounding chaos.
Beyond this boundary, however, the land quaked uncontrollably. Tiny fissures and cracks formed as raw elemental forces surged in a wild frenzy. Fire blazed and was instantly extinguished by torrents of water, while jagged rocks erupted from the ground, only to be shattered by slicing gales. Golden light clashed with creeping shadows, and arcs of lightning streaked through the storm-ridden sky.
