The barrage of attacks made Lu Chen's soul flicker. His chest heaved violently, and the blood vessels in his eyes nearly pierced his crystalline blue irises.
He stared fixedly at the center of the explosion, both hands raised as though holding up the heavens, and roared ferociously:
"Your disciple, Lu Chen, asks you, Teacher... to die!!"
"Forbidden Annihilation!!"
A deep fissure abruptly tore through the pitch-black dome of the sky. Beyond it lay an endless sea churning with rich purple.
The people had no idea what it was, but the instant the Ten Kings and the others saw the fissure, their eyes nearly split with horror.

Purple. Everywhere, purple. It filled everyone's vision until they could see nothing else. Even sound was extinguished.

Lu Chen laughed maniacally, but as he laughed, his eyes grew wet, and tears slipped down unbidden.
"I killed Teacher..."
Ecstasy, sorrow, terror, guilt, relief... it was hard to imagine so many emotions appearing on a single face at once.
No one could understand what Lu Chen felt at that moment-the wrenching conflict of having to kill his own beloved teacher to save
