When Dongfang Taiyi's gaze swept across their location.
"Ah-"
Their brief, urgent screams stopped abruptly.
That entire area, together with the Kings desperately trying to flee, was frozen and sealed by an invisible, mighty power, like insects trapped in amber.
Then they seemed to be silently swallowed by a black hole, vanishing without a trace, leaving not even the slightest sign behind.
