One might say that the sudden anomaly occurred within Ye Zhen's body.
At the moment the Illusion Serpent King breathed its last, the Mirage Dragon Pearl, which had been lying in Ye Zhen's chest as inert as a dead thing, suddenly throbbed and burst into brilliant light.
An immensely strong suction force surged out from the first spatial layer of the Mirage Dragon Pearl. As soon as this force emerged, the essence, qi, spirit, and the overwhelming blood qi of the freshly deceased Illusion Serpent King, visibly streamed into Ye Zhen's body like a torrent of blood.
At that time, Ye Zhen's body, or rather the Mirage Dragon Pearl, acted like a black hole, frantically devouring all the power of the just-deceased Illusion Serpent King.
