The Source-Devouring Progenitor's attention had remained fixed on Locke.
Compared to Mechanical God Emperor Saine and the Limitless Golden Emperor, the Destruction Rule Locke wielded clearly held greater interest for this ancient existence.
The bright yellow tides pouring from the six main Source-Devouring Channels gradually ceased spreading across the surrounding battlefield.
They began converging toward the starry sky where Locke stood.
Countless bright yellow rule-veins intertwined, eventually forming a Source-Devouring Vortex whose boundaries were nearly impossible to see.

The Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion near the Source-Devouring Vortex also felt an irresistible pulling force.
Large numbers of destruction warships were forced to retreat.
