As the secret realm opened, an endless wave of tribulation energy began to leak out, forcing countless cultivators to retreat in fear. However, some were not quick enough and were touched by the power of the tribulation energy, suffering horrific injuries.
Behind the retreating tide of cultivators, the pitch-black tribulation energy relentlessly pursued them. Those caught in its grasp let out harrowing screams, their voices echoing through the Southern River Stone Forest, chilling the hearts of all who heard them.
"Ahhh!!!"
The terrifying sounds reverberated throughout the area, filling the atmosphere with a sense of dread and despair. Those touched by the tribulation energy found black veins crawling across their bodies like eerie, cursed totems, infused with the power of destruction at the highest level. Their immortal bodies began to corrode and disintegrate.
