Rumble!
The heavens collapsed, and endless darkness poured into Heavenly River City.
At that moment, the entire Heavenly River City fell silent. Countless experts stood frozen in place, their eyes vacant.
No one even paid attention to the fall of more than a dozen Abyss Immortal Emperors just moments ago. Instead, they stared blankly at the suddenly collapsing sky and the Heavenly River Lord, whose aura had instantly become incomparably weakened, while the arrogant, delighted laughter of the Heavenly Demon Emperor rang in their ears.
"How could this happen..."
At the Lin Family, Lin Hai and the others stared vacantly at the sky, their minds utterly numb.
As they swept their gazes around in confusion, five of the nine great families... had actually defected outright?
Lin Hai could not understand. He was on the verge of madness. What was the point?
What benefit was there in pledging themselves to the Abyss? Had they gone mad?
It was not just the Lin Family. The Zhang Family, Wang Family, and Li Family, also among the nine great families, wore equally bewildered and helpless expressions... They blankly watched the collapsing heavens, the Soul-Sealing Pillars rapidly losing their luster, and the shattering Nine Dragons Soul-Sealing Array...
It was as though everyone had lost something immensely important. Their hearts felt hollow and empty.
"It's over!"
Someone suddenly let out a bitter laugh.
It was filled with despair.
The furious voice of the Heavenly River Lord still echoed in their ears. Clearly, the destruction of the Nine Dragons Soul-Sealing Array had dealt this demigod of Heavenly River Prefecture an enormous backlash and grave injuries as well... Without the enhancement of the Nine Dragons Soul-Sealing Array, and with the Heavenly Demon Emperor as a formidable foe...
No matter how one looked at it, the future was bleak
