"Boom!"
The enormous cauldron crashed down, unleashing a heaven-shaking roar that carried across almost the entire Central Plains. Nearly everyone felt their ears jolt at the sound, their hearts trembling with fear. They stopped what they were doing and turned horrified gazes toward the Yao Clan, wondering what sort of astonishing battle had erupted there.
The blast's aftershocks instantly engulfed a million li beyond the Medicine Realm. Countless clans and sects that had lived and prospered within that area were annihilated without exception, swallowed and overturned by the violent shock wave. When immortals fought, mortals suffered-this was precisely what that meant. What did destroying you have to do with you?
Once the light and smoke filling the sky dispersed, the scene at the center of the explosion finally became clear. The enormous egg formed from the demonic statue that the Soul Clan Strongholds had jointly conjured was already shattered, and the sight within its broken shell was utterly gruesome.
The mid- and high-level Dou Sheng experts had fared relatively well. Aside from severe injuries and weakened auras, they had suffered no further losses. The remaining low-level Dou Sheng, however, had not been so fortunate.
Even with Nihility Devouring Flame protecting them, they had been unable to withstand that unparalleled eruption of energy. Its mere aftershocks had been enough to disintegrate their bodies and scatter their souls. Their casualties had already surpassed a staggering half of their number!
As for Nihility Devouring Flame at their center, being the strongest present, he had borne almost all of that torrent of energy. He had expended a tremendous amount of his origin energy to do so. Although his foundations remained intact, his condition was far from encouraging. His already illusory form flickered between light and darkness, wavering incessantly, and his aura was terribly weak.
