 **Divine Energy** | -
A stream of dark-red energy surged out from their body and began to spread out with the energy encompassed everyone before continuing to expand past them, filling the entire region of space around them with a dark-red color. It looked like the color of a dying star, and it gave off a feeling of worry, fear, and despair. This was the same power when the droplets had been shot into the Fifth Mainland. If death energy gave off a feeling of oddness and eminence, then this energy gave a feeling of oppression and despair as it tried to completely replace stellular energy.

### Phenomena

Phenomena were things that only existed in legends. It was rumored that geniuses with powerful innate gifts were able to produce phenomena when they broke through to the Explorer realm. These people were the favored children of the universe, and they were smiled upon by the heavens themselves. They were people with the potential to gaze right into the very essence of the universe. Since recorded history, there were extremely few individuals in the universe who had produced such phenomena during their breakthroughs, and it was possible that not even all of the Human Domain’s Ten Arbiters had produced phenomena when they broke through in the past.

A phenomenon was a symbol, one that signified that a cultivator was entering another level altogether.
