Chapter 887: Rescue
At the Sacred Flame Hall.
“Fourteen Heavenly Emperors from the Sacred Flame Hall had arrived, joined by another six who were either its allies or once nurtured within it.
This was due to the Eternal Oblivion Disaster. Many Heavenly Emperors across the incarnated continent were overwhelmed, each entangled in their own crises and unable to come to aid in time. If not for that, the number of Heavenly Emperors gathered at the Sacred Flame Hall would have been much higher.
Inside a massive Astral Gate, Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs were making their move. Ripples of spatial energy spread from them, flowing steadily into the depths of the gate.
If a Sacred Monarch who had also mastered the power of space were here, they would notice that behind this layer of space lay a passage, one that led to a vast world beyond.
But with the outbreak of the Eternal Oblivion Disaster, the once stable passage between the two worlds was now being eroded bit by bit.
The Heavenly Emperors were doing all they could to repair the corroded sections, repeating the process again and again, careful not to stir the lurking Eternal Oblivion Force. At the same time, they worked to keep the spatial channel functioning.
Yet to fix what the Eternal Oblivion Force had touched, right under its gaze, was no easy task. Even Heavenly Emperors couldn't avoid being tainted by it.
Mo Xuan, Vice Hall Master of the Sacred Flame Hall and also the Master of the Humanity Sanctum, bore clear signs of that corruption. The damage had already reached the point of no return.
With the amount of Eternal Oblivion Force clinging to him, even an ordinary Tyrant now had the power to drag him down, if they were willing to die with him.
Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs stood around the Astral Gate, their faces heavy with regret and sorrow.
"Mo Xuan, it's not that I won't help, but the Eternal Oblivion Force has latched on. I have no choice, I must retreat for now."
