Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1790 (Raw 1802): First Arrival in the Ash Gray Sea

Yan Zhe’s cultivation was deep and unfathomable, at least late-stage Starry Sky Stage. However, Xiao Chen could not tell if it was small perfection late-stage, great perfection late-stage, or peak late-stage; he could not sense it at all.

This was a terrifying enemy, someone who could destroy the Black Cutlass in mere moments.
