After those bright yellow rule eyes fully opened, all sound near the largest Source-Devouring Channel in Clear River Time-Space seemed to vanish in an instant.
It was not that the battlefield had truly fallen silent.
Countless Source-Devouring Beasts and legions from every side were still locked in fierce battle.
On the other side of the Destruction Gate, dark golden tides continued to surge.
But the rule pressure cast across time and space by the Source-Devouring Progenitor had already robbed all nearby low- and mid-level creatures of their normal perception of the outside world.
