"Boom, boom, boom!"
The powerful beating of his heart, resonating alongside the swaying ginkgo leaves, surged fiercely in Zhou Xuan's mind.

Zhou Xuan saw the Heavenly Dome burn crimson, the earth glow as if heated iron, and the scorching heavens and earth, after gifting immense energy to his heart, grew even hotter from its pounding cadence.
The colossal hand emerging from the ocean—the Great Heavenly King—it seemed to have realized the monstrous might radiating from the Jing Country Guardian,
and it sought retreat,
to withdraw back into its own realm, severing all ties with Jing Country.
