A crimson glow enveloped the entire sky, scattering through the clouds and leaving mottled, eerie shadows on everyone.
A sharp sound, like bones being crushed, came from underground, and the mountains within a radius of tens of thousands of miles began to collapse.
In the distance, mountains began to collapse like melting candles. Zu'an was shocked and quickly teleported over to pick up the Goddess of Wushan from the other side.
The two had just flown away when the mountain collapsed completely. What surged from the mountain was not scorching magma, but a sea of undead glowing with a ghostly green light.
Countless translucent ghostly hands pierced the ground, their fingertips burning with eerie blue phosphorescent flames. Each hand had a twisted, ferocious expression, as if it wanted to drag down any living being it could touch, making them feel the same pain as itself.
Zu An's expression changed. He had seen similar scenes before, such as the vengeful spirits in the River of Oblivion. He never expected to see something with similar power here.
He hurriedly reminded everyone: "Be careful not to let those vengeful spirits touch your body, or your soul will be easily corrupted."
The others present naturally knew how dangerous it was, and either dodged or used their supernatural powers to refine the approaching vengeful spirits. However, many creatures further away were not so lucky.
Many were captured by the vengeful spirits that emerged from the cracked earth. At first, they tried to resist, but they quickly lost their strength and were dragged into the midst of the vengeful spirits. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they transformed into vengeful spirits and went together to find new victims.
Seemingly sensing Zu'an's worries, the Goddess of Wushan in her arms comforted him, "Don't worry, Wushan was personally refined by the Crimson Emperor. Chang'e won't be affected by these things there."
Upon hearing this, Zu'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was no wonder he found Wushan so magical before; it turned out to be the work of the Red Emperor.
The Goddess of Wushan glanced at Xihe beside her, and their eyes met. Both women couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The Goddess of Wushan and Zuan were just friends, but now she was being held in his arms.
Xihe and Zuan have already developed a very intimate relationship, but she is Dijun's wife and cannot openly have intimate behavior with Zuan.
Just as the two women were feeling awkward, a huge buzzing sound came, and huge pillars slowly rose from the ground, stretching across the sky and earth. Each pillar was covered with skinless, blood-red muscles that kept writhing, as if some mysterious ancient creature was about to awaken.
Zuan counted them and there were a total of one hundred and eight, which seemed to correspond to the positions of the stars in the heavens.
Seeing this, Zhulong was both shocked and furious: "Dijun, how many living beings did you slaughter to create such an evil pillar of flesh and blood!"
Di Jun remained calm: "They were destined for this calamity; I was merely following the will of Heaven."
"You, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, have committed such heinous acts, and you still claim to be the Mandate of Heaven? You have no shame whatsoever!" Gonggong cursed as he fought Donghuang Taiyi. "Taiyi, has he gone mad? Are you going mad too? Are you joining him in this nonsense!"
Donghuang Taiyi did not answer him; instead, his attacks became increasingly fierce.
Suddenly, countless fleshy growths emerged from those pillars, resembling thousands of writhing blood snakes.
But everyone present knew that what it was was not flesh and blood, but a monster formed purely from resentment.
They were like octopus tentacles, grabbing and frantically devouring any living thing they touched.
Wherever Zuan's divine sense reached, he found that the entire world seemed to have turned into purgatory.
The Candle Dragon's eyes shot out two bright beams of light, and wherever they passed, the fleshy tentacles turned to ashes.
Gonggong also unleashed a series of water dragons, roaring as he tore apart the fleshy tentacles. The others also launched counterattacks, but there were simply too many fleshy tentacles. Destroying one would only result in ten more growing back, making it impossible to destroy them all.
Then another strange thing happened. Countless cracks appeared in the ground, like a skin torn open by the claws of a giant beast. A series of chilling laughs rang out, and countless ghostly faces flew out, opening their mouths to bite any living creature they saw.
Wu Yang, one of the Six Enlightened Witches, was severely injured in his battle with Di Jun and was unable to dodge in time. He was drained of his life force and left with only a skin.
The other five witches were filled with grief and indignation, but unfortunately, they were powerless to save them.
Even Wu Yang was affected, so ordinary creatures were even less able to resist and were quickly drained dry, leaving only thin skin.
The skins also began to flutter and gradually transformed into ghostly faces, shouting "Just like me, just like me!" as they searched for new victims.
Burning fireballs began to fall from the sky. Upon closer inspection, the fireballs contained the heads of living beings—those who had been killed by the ten suns that had descended from the sky.
In the distance, rivers surged upwards, and aquatic creatures turned into skeletons at a visible speed.
Blood-red light filled the entire world.
The blood-red clouds in the sky began to converge into ten vortexes, and a sun slowly formed at the center of each vortex, as if ten suns were rising in the sky again.
No, they were less like the sun and more like terrifying vertical pupils that had opened.
At almost the same time, all living beings in the world heard the wailing of billions of ghosts.
"Quickly destroy those vertical pupils, otherwise once this Ten-Day Annihilation Array is completed, all living beings in the world will be refined by it!" Xihe shouted hurriedly.
Zhulong and Gonggong had already taken action, bombarding the vertical pupils in the sky.
However, a huge bell-shaped shadow blocked their attack.
Zhulong was furious: "Taiyi, Dijun has committed such a heinous crime, are you going to join him?"
Donghuang Taiyi smiled slightly and said, "Although my elder brother's methods were a bit extreme, he did it for the sake of our demon race, so it is understandable."
