It wasn't until they retreated a sufficient distance that everyone finally regained their composure. Only then did they clearly see the figure in the sky.
It was an old man with white hair and beard.
He looked extremely old, his face full of wrinkles, yet showing no signs of decline. His yellow-brown wide-sleeved robe fluttered in the wind, emanating a terrifying pressure of the True Immortal Realm.
It was Emperor Xiu!
Emperor Xiu held a massive wooden staff in his hand, firmly resisting the blade light.
This wooden staff was known as [Unburnt Wooden Cane], crafted from a side branch that was struck during his ascension to the True Immortal Realm by a Heavenly Tribulation.
The originally enormous side branch was reduced to less than one-third after the tribulation lightning. The part tempered by the lightning fire was exceptionally hard, so he refined it simply and used it as a weapon.
