The Golden Bell trembled, and a deep, resonant peal rang out. In the eyes of Huoyun Cave's Holy Lord, tangible ripples of sound spread through the skies above Huoyun Cave. The phantoms upon the bell seemed to come alive, breaking free from its surface and charging into Huoyun Cave's mountain gate to assault the mountain-protecting formation.
"Not good..."
Huoyun Cave's Holy Lord's expression changed drastically. The mountain-protecting formation, which had activated its own defenses, shattered in an instant.
The next moment, the ripples of sound filling the heavens transformed into a surging sea of lightning, rolling across the earth like a flood. Everything in its path was pulverized and reduced to ashes.
Boom!
The Great Dao around Huoyun Cave's Holy Lord hummed in contention as chains of order emerged, trying to withstand the sea of lightning blanketing the sky. But the Dao power protecting his body was pierced through in an instant, and two phantoms passed straight through his body.
Pop!
After a sound like a bubble bursting, he vanished into ash on the spot, swept away in the rolling flood in all directions, leaving nothing behind.
Rumble...
Huoyun Cave became a living hell. Many people turned to flying ash before they could even scream. Terrifying phantoms swept across the land alongside purple lightning, harvesting lives everywhere.
A few breaths later, Nanheng Continent's foremost Sacred Sect was gone, erased from heaven and earth. All that remained was a massive pit wreathed in curling green smoke and radiating terrifying heat.
The phantoms filling the sky flew back and reappeared upon the Golden Bell. The Myriad Spirits Bell pulsed, capturing the imprints of all those it had slain, before soaring into the void and disappearing.
