Soul Magic
Within the darkness of the planes of creation, they stood across from one another.
The All-Seeing Eye and its holder watched in silence as the Emperor's remaining soul fragments worked tirelessly to finish the magic circle and bound Hao Xuan within.
Nothing needed to be said, they were well past the point of discussion.
Outside the chamber, the raging storm had grown big enough to cover nearly half of the planet's surface. It had almost eaten its way to the under-world where everyone was still engaged in mortal combat.
It was coming straight for the chamber and everyone inside it.
But the Emperor already knew that. A little over a minute later he finished the last set of runes that slid down and settled in place around Hao Xuan, completing the magic circle and sealing it from all sides.
