Shen Haoran walked slowly across the charred, uneven earth of the battlefield, his footsteps light yet intentional.
Around him, the air was a thick slurry of sulfur, iron, and the lingering heat of the Gold Incinerating Supreme Flame.
He moved with a detached serenity, his golden eyes scanning the horizon not for threats, but for the deeper patterns of the conflict.
But at that moment, the sky above him seemed to fracture as a massive hammer, easily the size of a carriage and seems to be forged from heavy, dark meteoric iron, suddenly descended from the sky with the force of a mountain.
The sonic boom of its descent pulverized the loose gravel seconds before the weapon itself could make contact.
However, Haoran didn't even lift a finger.
His body simply instinctively activated the Unbreakable Diamond Sacred Technique.
