The dimensional interior ended.
The pitch black simply ceased to be the relevant surrounding and was replaced by the upper atmospheric layer of the Allheaven Expanse, the ambient light, the astral rivers, the floating island formations, all of it arriving at once.
Lin Yi landed.
His feet found an island surface and his body organized itself around the contact point in the same instant, the combat readiness that had been building during the token's interior time expressing itself immediately as a physical stance. Feet separated to shoulder width. Left knee slightly bent to distribute weight away from the compromised thigh. Celestial Lord Blade in his right hand, drawn during the transition, present and active before the landing was complete.
He looked forward.
