The Illusion Banishing Array trembled as if the very fabric of its existence were being torn apart. The dark beasts Zhao Yin had summoned prowled around its edges, their immense yin energy battering the array's defenses.
With every roar, hiss, and growl, the translucent walls flickered, the fog inside the array thinning until fragments of the real world began to seep through.
The Soul Seizing Sect disciples, previously subdued and lifeless, stirred to consciousness. Their glazed eyes regained focus as the oppressive aura of the array lightened, though fear quickly replaced their initial relief. The sight of the three massive beasts pacing around them sent shivers down their spines.
"What… are those things?" one of the disciples gasped, his voice trembling.
"Summoned creatures," another whispered, his gaze locked on Zhao Yin, who stood unmoving amidst the chaos. "This cultivator… he's using a forbidden technique."
