Before they could decide their next move, Qin Huai acted. Holding the black dragon pearl, now the size of a boulder, he hurled it upwards.
Soundlessly, darkness shot into the sky, positioning itself before the phoenix demons. A dark wave unfurled, and from the pearl emerged the still Scythe of Hell. This energy halo whizzed through the air, dotted with black flames, a stark contrast to the red phoenix fire. In moments, numerous phoenix clan members fell, their cries echoing as lifeless bodies rained from the sky.
Witnessing this, the other five royal clans were taken aback. Those who once held power in Great You exchanged anxious glances, hesitating to confront him.
"Even ancient kings couldn't match him. Can we?" someone whispered.
However, no one was in the mood to see who had said such disgraceful words. They recalled a similar occurrence at the King Bone Holy Altar and now here, in Pingwang's secret realm.
