Chapter 878: Price
Li Pin had used a mysterious force to somehow alter Xuan Huang's structure and was now holding him like a limp object in his hand.
While that was happening, Divine Emperor Xi was activating the Starstream River, and Zhu Zhao had unleashed the black sun to clash with the Eternal Swordlight. At the sight of this, both Divine Emperors froze on the spot. Their inner spirit fluctuations stalled for a beat.
Even the peak-level Intelligent Lifeform, renowned for maintaining absolute rationality and always making the best decisions, seemed to glitch for a moment.
The Grand Celestial Constellation Cycle Formation visibly slowed down. The only reason it didn't stop entirely was that the formation itself had its own momentum keeping it going.
The two Divine Emperors and the Intelligent Lifeform stared at the palm-sized Xuan Huang in Li Pin's hand, now looking like a tiny crow. At that moment, their understanding of the world collapsed completely. "How... is this possible...?"
Zhu Zhao, in particular, trembled uncontrollably. After all, he was on the opposing side.
A deep, indescribable terror gripped his heart, as if he were falling into a bottomless pit of darkness and the unknown. "What kind of power... is this?"
That creeping fear, of the situation slipping beyond control, of descending into chaos, rushed into his heart like a flood, trying to devour his mind and reason.
Li Pin's voice echoed across the Grand Celestial Constellation Cycle Formation. "Cultivation is indeed a personal journey. That, I can agree with. But trampling everything else for your own path? I don't like that."
In the next instant, Xuan Huang, still held in his grip, felt an all-penetrating force surge through his body like an unstoppable flood.
That crushing pressure shattered all resistance. Already panicked from his transformed state, the Divine Emperor let out a terrified cry.
But the sound that escaped him... was hoarse and sharp.
