Back at Present, Luoyin, Old man Bao, and Kai Zhen watched in dismay as Yu Wang cast the Darkness Spell, and countless dark wraiths, as numerous as ants, descended from the skies and began to fly around.
The wind warped in their presence, and anything they touched instantly broke apart, fading away into particles which were absorbed by the blackened sky.
Even the demons were not spared, and the wraiths swirled around them, sucking them into the skies.
"Shield Yourselves!" Luoyin's warning thundered across the city, and the Immortals didn't hesitate to erect shields around themselves.
But these wraiths were simply too many and powerful, and after only a minute of onslaught, quite a few shields were broken throug, letting in a tide of wraiths.
Several swallows were instantly caught in the tide of the wraiths, and even two of the High Grand Immortals were swept away, their essences broken and sucked into the darkness.
Luoyin moved swiftly, flashing to as many swallows as he could see, while his clone dragon appeared and darted through the City, sweeping back the wraiths and giving the immortals a chance.
Soon the air was filled with a cacophony of roars, growls, and howls as Old man Bao's air dragon, Kai Zhen's kirin, and a host of other phantom creatures joined the fray, while the immortals themselves fended off the black wraiths as much as possible.
"Pathetic." Yu Wang's cold voice echoed around. "No matter how much a worm wriggles, it remains a worm beneath my feet!"
He raised a hand, and time seemed to stop as he said,
"End of Heaven."
The effect was instantaneous as the air constricted with more demonic aura, making it hard for even the older Immortals to breath.
Millions and millions of wraiths flew around in massive flocks, and one after the other, the enormous phantom creatures were eliminated into nothingness, causing the Immortals behind them to spit blood.
Helplessness weighed on Luoyin's brow as things took a severely worse turn, and the wraiths began to shatter the shields of the Immortals.
The Shadow deity sliced off an arm as the wraiths tried to encroach on her, and she leapt away just in time to avoid being consumed alive.
The Plague deity was not so lucky, and the wraiths swarmed around her, her aura vanishing in mere seconds.
A few other immortal auras faded away, and despite Luoyin still determinedly flashing around the city, several swallows faded before he could dream of reaching them.
Old man Bao's strength was waning, yet he used most of it to catch and shield Kai Zhen who was nearly swept away by the wraiths.
'Is this it...?' The Immortals wondered.
'Is this the end of all hope...?!'
An odd weight dropped within on Luoyin's chest.
He was unsure of the origin, but he somehow felt like this was all his fault!
Had he summoned everyone here to die?
And beyond that...
There was an odd certainty that he had unleashed Yu Wang in some way.
A Certainty that he was to blame for all this...
But as his thoughts spiralled, the black skies were suddenly split by a vast array of gold light, sending the dense clouds of wraiths flying apart.
