As they watched the object slowly float up from the Sea Emperor's hand, pulsing like a heart, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
When fully contracted, it resembled a complex black Rubik's Cube covered in mysterious patterns. But when it expanded, its volume increased severalfold. The black cube transformed into countless tiny blood-colored mist particles, with faint purple web-like strands connecting them, like tiny arcs of electricity.
"What is that?" Gu Ding could not help asking.

"Does this thing have any use for us?" Gu Ding asked expressionlessly. If it was useless, he wanted to destroy it.

"Gu Ding, take a few steps back," the Sea Emperor suddenly said.
Gu Ding froze for a moment, but he still did as told, taking several steps backward.
The black cube's pulsing frequency dropped accordingly.
"Gu Ding seems to be able to affect this
