In his spirit form, Hongye flew higher and higher. Infinite Tsukuyomi could not affect him in this state.
Following an inexplicable pull, he willingly came to an unknown place.
Mist shrouded his surroundings, but Qi Yuan soon saw many spirits.
They included humans and Demon Beasts from the Nine Provinces Alliance.
Some of the spirits actually recognized Qi Yuan and exclaimed in shock, "What? Even you died, King Qi??"
Hongye looked at the spirit who had spoken. He seemed to be the Guardian of Central Province who had died at the Ten-Tails' hands earlier!
The Guardian's spirit suddenly burst into tears, his expression vivid.
"It's over. Everything is over!"
If even King Qi had died, everyone would probably end up here.
Hongye could not be bothered to explain.
He passed countless spirits, then walked deeper into the mist.
At the same time, he felt his thoughts begin to grow numb, and even his memories became somewhat hazy.
The spirits he encountered along the way were no longer clearheaded like the Guardian of Central Province had been.
Instead, they were dazed and muddled!
The farther in they go, the more their memories and awareness are worn away?
Hongye endured the discomfort and continued deeper into the mist.
But he soon stopped, his gaze reaching ahead.
An enormous, empty gateway came into view.
An endless stream of spirits lined up to enter the empty gateway, as though it led to hell and reincarnation.
Most spirits who reached this place were dazed, as though they had already drunk Meng Po's soup and lost all their memories.
But that was not the important part. They were all bound by enormous chains.
A dozen or so monsters with black bodies and long-nosed masks stood on either side of the spirits.
Chains wound around their bodies
