War was coming.
Just four days after Lin Hui's inspection of Xia Si, the God herd and Black Cloud finally went to war.
「Above the Jade Sea.」
On three sides of Black Cloud—east, south, and west—countless shipping lanes had been shut down.
The sea surged, the sky's mist transformed into black clouds, and thunder rumbled, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Flashes of lightning momentarily illuminated the world, revealing the orderly formations of over a million Black Army soldiers gathered on three sides of Black Cloud.
They had not set out to battle, nor were there any fleets. All the Black Army soldiers stood dispersed upon three colossal, diamond-shaped blackstone platforms on the sea's surface.
The million-plus soldiers of the Black Army were packed together, resembling a massive swarm of black insects surrounding Black Cloud on three sides.
Everyone was silent, circulating the power within their bodies—be it Inner Strength, True Power, Void Power, or Mental Power.
