Li Wen's figure abruptly solidified, the ancient long blade in his hand angled toward the ground. At its tip, a nearly imperceptible glint of light lingered in the air for several breaths before slowly dissipating.
The hard bluestone ground beneath his feet had, at some point, become covered in a dense, spiderweb-like network of cracks. The edge of each fissure was smooth as a mirror, sliced in an instant by an invisible Blade Intent.
Within a hundred-meter radius, the tips of every blade of grass and every leaf on every branch had bizarrely drooped downward, as if in worship.
Li Wen slowly sheathed his blade and let out a long breath. The terrifying pressure that had permeated the valley dispersed along with it.
With a mere thought, a translucent personal information panel unfolded before his eyes:
