Ashy's eyes slowly opened as dark shadows flickered within them.
The little bird looked around in confusion at first.
Then realization came.
The heavens above.
The pressure.
The tribulation.
Ashy stood up.
Her feathers rustled.
She looked toward Lin Mu.
The man smiled.
"You finally woke up."
Ashy chirped softly.
It had been a very long time.
The twins finally arrived.
They emerged from the darkness and immediately coiled nearby.
Little Shrubby sat beside Lin Mu in cat form.
Everyone had gathered.
The heavens continued changing as the crimson clouds churned and Lin Mu observed carefully. He hoped this would be ordinary. Fire tribulations alone were already dangerous. Variants could become nightmares.
Especially for beasts that were not immortal yet.
Then…
The clouds moved and a vortex formed. Heat exploded outward and the first bolt descended.
Except… It was not lightning.
Lin Mu's eyes widened.
A spear.
A gigantic spear of fire fell from the heavens!
BOOM!
