Two days later.
In the central region of Panguang, on an open grassland between the Faceless Sword Sect and the Suyue Sect.
The plains were covered with ice and snow, the former grasslands long since turned into withered black ash, and the sky still sprinkled dark snowflakes. Deformed monsters, thoroughly made hideous, crawled, tumbled, and fought on the ground.
The once peaceful Panguang had turned into such a purgatorial wasteland overnight, demonstrating just how powerful the pollution from the Evil Soil was.
Li Chengyi walked silently across this land with all the Sealing Spheres in tow.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do you see? This is the evil result of our battles... If it weren't for my aim to stop you from destroying the world, I would never have wished to wield such a malevolent power... Now that the earth is contaminated, the greatest responsibility lies with you."
Li Chengyi sighed inwardly.
