245: Chapter 245 First Battle in the Forbidden Zone, The Battle of the Reincarnation Sea

Dark Turmoil, Day 7.

Above the Sea of Reincarnation, the fourth of the six Supreme projections—the Lord of Reincarnation—has fully condensed.

It is a phantom sitting cross-legged on the reincarnation disk.

It is roughly 10,000 zhang tall.

Its entire body is pitch black.

Each breath causes the surface of the Sea of Reincarnation to drop by three feet.

Each time it opens its eyes, creatures within a thousand miles feel the call of Reincarnation.
