Chapter 733: Lu Fan Did It!
With a sharp, unmistakable snap, the piercing white light, its origins a mystery, struck with lethal precision. It burst through the Chaos Emperor Lotus and, in an explosive instant, obliterated the All Life Empress Gu and turned it to ash!
A guttural cry tore through the air.
Beneath the Chaos Emperor Lotus, Lu Fan's face contorted in agony. Clutching his head, he snapped open his bloodshot eyes to glare at the sudden apparition of the Divine Imperial Son.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE! The Chaos Emperor Lotus trembled, and the freshly formed spiritual channels in the Stellar Spring of Life spiraled into chaos. With the death of the All Life Empress Gu, these connections were severed abruptly.
In the mortal realm, the pilgrim souls saw their visions of the blazing sun vanish. They grasped at thin air, their heads throbbing in pain as their spirits were violently yanked back into their bodies, leaving them dazed and confused.
From a distance, Yun Xiao and Divine Dawn witnessed the scene.
"This Divine Imperial Son isn't half bad, finding the critical point to break the system!" Yun Xiao remarked.
The incense offerings belonged to the imperial family, and Lu Fan had merely co-opted this system to devour the souls of all beings. The All Life Empress Gu was crucial as the catalyst.
The creature was inherently fragile; its destruction meant that without a new All Life Empress Gu, Lu Fan's diabolical scheme to harvest souls would be thwarted.
