The enormous Heavenly Stele descended like a towering mountain, crashing down with unstoppable force. Within the Ancient Forbidden Land, blood-red lightning slashed across the skies, torrents of crimson rain poured down, and countless corpses of gods and demons plummeted from above.
"Bang!"
The portal in the heavenly dome dimmed under the impact, on the verge of vanishing. From within came an earth-shattering roar of rage.
At that very moment, a massive black claw, as colossal as a mountain, emerged viciously, clawing outward to clash directly with the Heavenly Stele.
Meanwhile, the sacrificial altar below radiated dazzling light. The mysterious runes arranged around it gleamed like stars, collectively resisting the Heavenly Stele's descent.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The black claw, akin to an apocalyptic talon of the Devil, was pitch-black throughout, covered in fine scales, exuding a sinister gleam and imbued with unimaginable divine power.
