Yasashii Hito's laughter boomed across the cities.
It started softly, but at the end, it seemed more like clouds rumbling before a storm than a man laughing.
The Heavenly Emperor eyed him quietly, a bad premonition rising in his chest.
There was no way he could tell anyone why he wanted all his disciples and subordinates to walk the path of the Light element.
A secret he couldn't tell, even as the fate of all Realms rested on it.
The air around the Lord of Shadows grew darker and more oppressive.
It continued to grow until weaker cultivators even miles away began to suffocate from pressure.
To control these effects, the Emperor countered with his own aura.
Yet, the pressure steadily increased as black shadows began to revolve around the Lord of Shadows. They sucked in all colors from the world, leaving only white and black around.
"I am done playing around with you!" His scream tore through the violent storm brewing with him in its center.
