The other Divine God Beasts scattered instantly, searching high and low for Su He. Old Huo Dou chomped down, but just like the Tengu before, the Divine God Pearl was illusory and he couldn't bite it.
Suddenly, Old Huo Dou started, sensing that something was amiss; one would only experience this kind of situation when inside the confines of the Void Forbidden Divine Pearl's restrictions, but it was outside!
Although his mind was filled with doubts, his body had already reacted. His form flashed as he swiftly retreated, but he crashed into the encapsulating barrier.
The Void Forbidden Divine Pearl trembled and split into two, each emanating a binding force. Like a gourd they linked front and back, trapping both it and the Old Tengu separately.
There were two Void Forbidden Divine Pearls!!
The two pearls, neither fully real nor completely illusory, merged together—one to restrain the Tengu and the other lying in wait for their rescue.
No wonder there was no sneak attack!
