The surging flood of the dark Celestial River crashed downward, gaining speed, while the two colossal flowers also slowly sank, and the terrifying gravity from Home's End Abyss grew ever stronger!
The crushing weight of the dark Celestial River, combined with the abyss's gravity, made Quinn Shepherd and the Dragon-Qilin unbearably heavy. They lost all balance and tumbled helplessly into the depths.
"Dragon-Sparrow Swallowing the Heavens!"
The blue sparrow on Quinn's shoulder suddenly let out a piercing cry. Her Primordial Spirit emerged, transforming behind her into a Dragon-Sparrow—half Vermilion Bird, half Azure Dragon—with the body and tail-feathers of a Vermilion Bird, but from those tail-feathers extended a long Azure-Dragon tail.
The Dragon-Sparrow spread its wings as if to fly, raised its head, and let out a sharp screech—its voice blending sparrow song and dragon roar—spewing forth blazing Sacred Flame.
Its dragon tail was impossibly long, almost joining with its head, forming a ring that enclosed everyone within.
With a whoosh, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame she breathed out ignited her Azure-Dragon tail. Soon, holy fire flowed through her entire body, forming a ring of flame that blocked the terrifying power of Home's End Abyss.
The Dragon-Sparrow bit its own tail, its body forming a ring, and at the center was a self-contained world—a safe little heavens.
It was the first time Quinn had ever seen Annie unleash her ultimate technique—so powerful it blocked both the backflow of the dark Celestial River and the gravity of Home's End Abyss.
This girl usually just grabs gods and demons from the Origin World for snacks, yet Quinn had almost never seen her fight. Most days, she just loves to wait on people—feeding them, straightening Quinn's robes, and smoothing out every wrinkle.
