The blue pulse of light between Lin Zhaoyue and the Saberfang faded but the world itself suddenly shuddered.
A deep vibration rolled through the streets of Coldwind City, like the rumble of an awakening mountain.
Fang Yuan's eyes snapped upward as a distortion formed in the sky.
A vast shadow churned behind it, eclipsing the sunlight itself and that's when it happened.
BOOM.
A colossal form arrived into existence.
The shockwave shattered roofs and sent cracks racing across the broken roads. Dust exploded upward in a storm.
Lin Zhaoyue stumbled back, eyes wide while the Saberfang let out a terrified whimper and shrank behind her.
When the dust finally settled, a titanic tortoise the size of a mountain was brought to view.
Its moss-covered shell resembled a craggy cliff face, waterfalls cascading down its sides.
Its head lowered slowly, glowing eyes the color of storms.
The ground trembled with every breath the Beast Emperor took.
