Chapter 66: The Immortal God
Before anyone could react, the black energy surged again. This time it turned on the remaining yin corpses, splitting into countless blade-like tendrils that sliced through them and devoured them whole. In just a few breaths, every yin corpse shriveled and vanished before the onlookers’ eyes.
They had no chance to escape. Screams rose and fell, far more pitiful than when Xu Qingfeng and the elders had struck them. Terror and disbelief were still frozen on their rotting faces as their flesh and souls were consumed to nothing.
“G-God… why…” Some tried to speak, but they would never hear an answer.
It all happened so fast—barely a handful of heartbeats—and every yin corpse inside was gone.
“Not good!” Xu Qingfeng’s face changed instantly. “That thing inside is devouring their souls to awaken ahead of time!”
The group paled. Whatever it was, it could be nothing good.
“Quickly! We must suppress it now!” Xu Qingfeng shouted. Without hesitation, he pulled out several violet talismans and hurled them forward. The other elders reacted at once, weaving hand signs and chanting spells.
But they were too late.
With a deafening boom, a massive surge of black energy shot skyward. The entire ancestral shrine collapsed at once. Darkness poured upward like a storm, blotting out the sun and plunging the world into shadow. Day turned to night in the blink of an eye. In less than half an incense stick’s time, everything lay under an eerie twilight.
