A pillar of fire shot into the sky, tearing through the heavens. It scorched the lake below dry, forming an incandescent red cord that connected heaven and earth.
It all happened in just a few seconds.
Everything within the Spatial Lock dissipated. Embers filled the sky, drifting down.
The power of the terrifying self-detonation faded.
As the aftershocks of the explosion slowly subsided, the sky was empty. The White Tiger Earth Venerable, Qin Yang, and the other experts from the Beast God Sect had all vanished.
"It's over..."
By the shore, the citizens raised their heads, searching for any sign of the Jianghai Arrow God, trying to find that familiar figure.
But...
There was nothing.
Not a single human shape remained in the sky, not even a trace of flesh and blood. Only white ash drifted down, slowly settling on the lakeside willows, the water's surface, and even on people's heads.
A wave of sorrow spread, passing from one spectator to another.
