At the sight, Sushang's gaze sharpened. Without hesitation, she hurled out the ball of red thread hidden in her sleeve.
In an instant, the ball transformed into countless strands of lingering affection, spreading abruptly before the pillar of light like a net that blanketed the heavens.
The combined assault of the eight lords was checked for a fleeting instant before it annihilated the vast net of affection threads.
But that instant was enough.
The Heavenly Seal passages of the Immortal Garden, Chu Mo, and Heaven's Will Sect coalesced into vortices at almost the same moment.
As Chu Mo stepped into his passage, he glanced back.
The pillar of guiding light had finally stabilized, spanning heaven and earth. The eight-colored radiance had also reached it, mere hairsbreadths from severing it. But just then, a gigantic hand suddenly reached down from the depths of the heavens to which the pillar led.
The moment that enormous hand appeared, heaven and earth fell silent.
Clouds and mist wreathed its fingers, and the lines of its palm rose and fell like mountain ranges and rivers. Behind it, a majestic phantom ten thousand miles tall flickered in the heavens. With a single glance, Chu Mo felt every Divine Ability he possessed except the All Beings Aspect fall dormant.
Like subjects before their sovereign, all their supernatural power withdrew.
[Level 55; True Lord Changle]
"A Nascent Soul manifestation, a lord of a Dao Mansion?!"
Chu Mo's eyes flew wide. With no time to spare for anything else, he hurried through the vortex passage toward the Eternal Night Sea.
In that final instant, he saw only the enormous hand slowly curl its five fingers, gathering all the brilliant radiance of the eight lords' combined assault into its palm.
The Eternal Night Sea.
