Just as the runes' glow on the Restriction Cage engulfed the Demonic Source Stone, the lingering divine senses' transmitted strength began to slowly wane, and the likes of Elder Cheng retracted their power as well. Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief. At this point, the task was essentially accomplished!
The Restriction Cage was specially made; once the Demonic Source Stone was inside, without the Spirit Realm People's imprint to open it, no one would be able to remove the Demonic Source Stone from the cage.
A pale, slender hand seemed to extend from the horizon, as a wild surge of energy assaulted the group. A whip-like flexible sword, seemingly extending infinitely, suddenly entwined the Demonic Source Stone. Just as the flexible sword prepared to yank out the stone, Elder Cheng reacted swiftly. He erupted in rage, accumulating a coil of magical power in his hands before sweeping it toward Beiting Huang.
