Between heaven and earth, eight golden pillars flashed without pause, representing the eight arenas.
Zhang Yang had no time to wonder what would happen on the arenas. He had only just led a group of disciples and subordinates to the third golden pillar when the God-Refining Array slowly began to open.
As for the demons who had originally guarded the golden pillars, they surged inside the moment the arena began. This world was now left with only Zhang Yang and his people.
As streak after streak of golden light refracted, more and more golden pillars began to appear between heaven and earth. At first, there were only a dozen or so, but in the blink of an eye, they had become hundreds, then thousands.
The golden light radiating from the pillars illuminated the entire world. Amid that radiance, endless purple flames poured down from above the Heavenly Palace like a raging sea tide.
The temperature of the entire world shot straight up by tens of thousands of degrees.
"That Cangdong fellow is trying to refine this already incomplete world! But is it worth it? If he had made these arrangements back then, then his being killed is suspicious."
Hidden aboard the Boat of Death, Zhang Yang muttered with deep suspicion.
The God-Refining Array was indeed powerful. Even with the strength of a demigod, one could not last half an hour inside it before being refined.
"Master, considering this matter alongside all the information we have now, it does indeed seem fishy. When we fought those invaders in the Azure Nether Realm, we also heard Cangdong's name. He was practically notorious. It seemed that Cangdong had done something in the Fourth Sequence that had enraged both gods and men."
Zhao Baiyi stood behind Zhang Yang, his eyes flickering as he spoke.
