Chapter 875: Fall
When the Demon God's life essence appeared, the fighting inside and outside the Celestial Northern Prison’s fortress gradually subsided. Everyone understood that the battle that determined everything was now in the Celestial Cosmic Ring. The outcome there would shape the future of the human world, and any life-or-death struggle outside no longer held meaning.
Though the captives in the fortress had finally regained their freedom, Moth's potent toxins still lingered in their bodies, leaving them limp and powerless.
Chu Liang pulled out his Poison-Expulsion Whip and struck Du Wuhen three times with sharp, precise lashes, forcing out the poisonous qi. Then, he turned to the other prison guards.
The guards all grimaced bitterly. They had heard of Chu Liang's famous "Whip of Wondrous Rejuvenation," but they were used to being the ones whipping and did not expect that they would suffer such a fate.
Just as Chu Liang was about to help the others detoxify, the glowing ring that had vanished suddenly reappeared. It trembled violently in midair, then expanded a thousandfold in an instant, stretching the entire Celestial Northern Prison to the brink of collapse.
A torrent of spiritual energy burst out from the glowing ring. The aftereffects of the shockwave were enough to hurl everyone present in all directions.
"Even the Celestial Cosmic Ring can't contain this battle?" the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner murmured in awe while hovering in midair.
This spectacle occurred because the spiritual energy inside had erupted with overwhelming force. Even a legendary artifact like the Celestial Cosmic Ring had struggled to contain it, causing part of its power to leak out.
If even the overflowing energy outside was this overwhelming, no one dared to imagine what was taking place inside the Celestial Cosmic Ring.
The cause of the eruption was the massive explosion on the General's Supreme Constellation Disc.
The blinding, world-devouring light finally faded within the Celestial Cosmic Ring. The General's Supreme Constellation Disc had already crashed down, no longer floating in the sky. All the generals positioned on it had collapsed, lying unconscious. None of them had been able to withstand the terrifying shockwave from the explosion.
