The sky was dark and murky.
Only upon closer inspection would one realize that it was not a mass of dark clouds, but a dense flock of birds.
Countless birds blended together, emitting faint wisps of pitch-black fog from between their wings.
Tons of fog ascended, transforming into vast black clouds that cloaked the seven suns of the Earth Immortal Realm, casting oppressive shadows over all beings.
Chirp chirp!
Amid the shrill cries of innumerable birds, one could also see chains dangling from their wings.
Following the chains, there were warships attached.
Some of these warships were entirely bone-white, with decks piled high with skull towers constructed from the heads of human cultivators.
Others shone with a metallic golden hue, their cold cannon muzzles encircled by rings of spirit marks, emitting a dangerous radiance.
The multitude of warships seemed like escort ships, collectively surrounding a massive shadow at the center.
That was a huge island, suspended in mid-air!
