Volume 4: Super-Tier Awakening & The Ancient Capital Calamity
Magical tempest gales roared through the ancient, cavernous expanse of the grand hall. Shockwaves laden with destructive fury continued to batter the rune-inscribed walls, leaving behind spiderweb cracks that spread with dizzying speed across the surfaces. The slender fracture on the crystal coffin now spiderwebbed outward in every direction, plunging the vast hall into a suffocating silence—a dead calm so profound one could distinctly hear the frantic hammering of their own heart and the sluggish bead of cold sweat rolling down their brow.
The heaven-shaking backlash from the Eight-Element Super-Tier Divine Sword, compounded with the chaotic remnants of the life-and-death clash, had inadvertently breached the thousand-year protective seal beneath the jade platform. Originally, this coffin was reinforced by layers of spatial and temporal barriers designed to keep the sovereign’s physical body in a state of eternal, deathless stasis. But the sheer magnitude of foreign energy had shattered that fragile equilibrium.
CRACK... SHATTER!
A thunderous explosion resounded across the chamber, tearing through the suffocating stillness. The transparent crystal lid shattered instantly into thousands of gleaming crystalline shards, scattering like a falling cascade of stars across the white jade dais with crisp, chiming echoes that reverberated against the soaring vaulted ceiling. Ethereal crystal dust drifted through the air, refracting enchanting magical glows into an awe-inspiring, bone-chilling spectacle.
