Annihilation!

Chu Yuan had not used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in a long time;

He had not originally intended to self-destruct the resentful souls...

To him, the self-destruction of those eerie Sovereigns was merely a powerful attack;

But each of them represented a "slot."

Imprisoned within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, they were not considered dead and still occupied the rank of Sovereign. For every one he captured, there would be one fewer Sovereign among the eerie beings;

But once they self-destructed, the Eerie Supreme could bestow the "rank of Sovereign" upon other eerie beings once more...

In such a short time, much of her foundation had already been annihilated, leaving her aura weak and frail.

If the resentful souls self-destructed, then so be it. He could simply capture more in the future;

It spread toward the depths of the distant starry sky...

Until it reached a certain boundary, where an invisible barrier seemed to intercept it!

The soul storm crashed against it. Though Chu Yuan could not see it... he could sense cracks appearing in that invisible barrier!

Yet although cracks had formed, it was
