In the depths of despair, a sudden change occurred. The Void-Locking Runes, supposedly impossible to erase without entering the spiritual register, began dissolving point by point, turning into wisps of spiritual smoke that quietly dispersed.
A faint trace of his sealed King Source Energy was released. The vast power that had sunk into the abyss upon his arrival in the Nether Realm returned to his King Sea. Though exceedingly faint and weak, the sensation was unmistakably real.

Xiao Chen wailed silently.
