In the desolate Kugu Ridge, sporadic wisps of smoke drifted about.
The battle had ended, but the lingering embers and heat seemed to take an unknown amount of time to completely dissipate.
Deep underground beneath the large pit, Lu Yu stood before the space rift connecting to the Netherworld.
He glanced around, dropped an Array Plate of the Little Forest Array to conceal the area, then summoned the power of annihilation within his right hand, covering his body surface.
A dim gray light enveloped Lu Yu's body, transforming him into a blurry gray silhouette, resembling a shadow in a patch of dim light.
The "cloak" formed by the power of annihilation did not touch Lu Yu's skin, yet he still felt a tingling sensation.
It was his body resisting the erosion from the power of annihilation.
Apart from Lu Yu's right hand, other parts of his body that contacted the power of annihilation would inevitably suffer erosion, with cells decaying and losing vitality.
