Under the radiance of the Nine-Colored Divine Radiance, the evil energy within Zhongli Wu gradually receded, layer by layer, like silk being drawn from a cocoon.
Each layer of darkness dissolved with a muffled explosion inside him, as though something were being stripped from his body.
He could even feel his life draining away at terrifying speed.
In that instant, all color left Zhongli Wu's lips. His eyes sank deep into their sockets, and his skin turned deathly pale.
But he had no intention of surrendering without a fight. He roared, resisting the Nine-Colored Divine Radiance with all his might.
He thrust both hands upward. The joints of his ten fingers creaked like ten bowstrings forcibly stretched to their limits.
A piercing scream of agony echoed throughout the entire Empire.
Across the Empire, hundreds of millions of Fallen Ones seemed to awaken from their slumber.
Those figures who had been sitting motionless all shuddered at once. Their eyelids snapped open, revealing hollow, crazed eyes.
Those eyes looked as though they had been dredged from the deepest depths of the abyss. Not a trace of clarity remained in their pupils, only darkness and fanaticism.
They raved, thrashed, and roared without cease. Their howls rose from every corner of the Empire, staining the entire sky with the chaos of an approaching apocalypse.
Some of the Fallen Ones with higher cultivation flew into the sky, seeking to live or die alongside their Holy Spirit Emperor.
But before they even touched the Nine-Colored Divine Radiance, they turned to drifting ash, unable to let out so much as a scream...
At that moment, the entire upper echelon of the Holy Spirit Empire came out in force.
There were Offering Elders, Holy Sons, Holy Daughters, and even elders.
