Lin Chuan watched speechlessly as everything around him gradually dissipated, while the black shadow rapidly shrank. Just when he thought everything would vanish into nothingness, the endless souls from before suddenly turned into dark dust and all merged into the sphere of light formed by the black shadow, which then instantly shot into the center of Lin Chuan's brow and disappeared.
