Before long, Xue Lian's figure had gradually vanished into the distance.
As for Six Desires True Monarch, he had long since disappeared without a trace.
Not long after the two departed, the gray mist shrouding this stretch of void suddenly contracted.
Then, like an inflated balloon, it rapidly expanded.
The area it reached grew ever wider.
Fortunately, this was the void, where living creatures could not survive. Otherwise, none would have escaped being drawn into it.
The reason for this change naturally lay in the presence of Shendu, Lusheng, and Tianjue.
If the three of them escaped this place after being tainted by the void heavenly tribulation, their Void Refinement Tribulations would arrive in an instant.
But now, the three were in precisely the same state as Fang Xiao, all having fallen into the state of heaven-and-earth annihilation. How could they possibly escape?
Thus, their Void Refinement Tribulations would not come for the time being.
However, this drew in a massive amount of tribulation power, which merged into the Chaos Annihilation Great Tribulation.
This was the reason the Chaos Annihilation Great Tribulation continued to expand.
Of course, even if the three survived the Chaos Annihilation Great Tribulation, awakened, and fled, they would still have to face their own Void Refinement Tribulations.
Therefore, this was a certain-death situation. The three no longer had the slightest chance of survival.
Fang Xiao's situation, however, was not such a dead end.

Thus, no matter how many people were thrown into the Chaos Annihilation Great Tribulation, no matter how much tribulation power was drawn into it, it would only be reflected in the range covered by the tribulation.
It could no longer have any effect whatsoever on Fang
