ROAR!
A low, grating roar suddenly swept through the canyon.
The roar was somewhat hoarse. It lacked the resonant power of a ferocious Desolate Beast, sounding more like a raspy old man who hadn't spoken in years. The sound was incredibly jarring.
"What's going on?"
The crowd, locked in a chaotic battle, all stopped their attacks. They stood frozen, looking at one another, and saw the same flicker of fear and trepidation in each other's eyes.
Everyone glanced around nervously.
The sky...
The ground...
The sound seemed to come from all directions at once, or perhaps it originated from within the canyon itself.
"What in the world was that?"
Hong Yu stood beneath the Enlightenment Fruit Tree, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The deep roar didn't last long, vanishing in an instant.
The combatants exchanged uncertain glances, then resumed their life-or-death struggle.
