"Saint Servant has fallen! Only two individuals remain, yet their exterior strength belies a hollowness within. How can they withstand the might of the Holy Emperor?"
"I told you, one should never defile the purity of Saint Rao. How dare Xu Xiaoshou bully her? And he even intends to kill... haha!"
From the depths of a pit came a weak voice, "Don't rejoice too soon... Eight, eight... why can't I get up?"
Rumble!
Above the Nine Heavens, the oppressive aura of the Holy Emperor loomed, though his true form remained unseen. Yet, mysterious sounds echoed incessantly.
This peculiar sound did not come from the supreme saint calamity, nor the rupture of space. It was as if an intangible presence, unseen by all, was in opposition.
The Eyes of Storm, momentarily halting the attack of the Finger of Annihilation, disappeared after the display of the Holy Emperor's aura.
Silence...
An eerie silence persisted for a full ten breaths.
