At the same time.
Below, on Star Sea Island.
The several million cultivators jointly operating that colossal array all witnessed Demon Gu Dao Lord being slain.
For a time, the cultivators were ecstatic.
The Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul of the array they had jointly set up had taken part in this matter. Indirectly, they too could be said to have contributed.
"I never thought that a Qi Refining cultivator like me would get to participate in a battle to slaughter a Spirit Transformation cultivator. I can brag about this grand feat for the rest of my life! Hahahaha..."
"..."
Yet some sharp-eyed cultivators noticed the unusual movements of Icy Cold Empress Lord from the Northernmost Cultivation World in the sky.
"Why has that Empress Lord been crying out in pain this whole time?"
"..."
Questions continued to arise.
At this moment, Ling Pengyun looked at the Mutated Soul Chasing Gu Worm that had been severed into two and vaguely guessed the reason.
Several years ago, he had crossed hands with Demon Abyss Old Demon, the personal disciple under Demon Gu Dao Lord, once or twice.
That Nascent Soul Completion Demon Abyss Old Demon had also possessed a Life Severing Soul Chasing Gu Worm. Its cultivation had likewise reached the Nascent Soul Completion Realm, though it had not comprehended Transformation God Dao Intent.
However, that Gu worm's curse was especially strange. When it unleashed a cursed divine-soul attack, there was simply no way to detect it, and it was extremely difficult to block... Yet those struck suffered the same fate as Icy Cold Empress Lord—their divine souls collapsed on their own...
However, Icy Cold Empress Lord was in even greater danger. Even if others used divine-soul defensive techniques to help her, it would be difficult for them to do so.
