That speck of brilliance was an Innate True Spirit, transformed from the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, the fundamental essence of every life form.
As karmic force dissipated and their souls shattered, everything in these evil spirits disappeared like smoke in thin air, not even leaving them a chance for reincarnation.
The remaining Innate True Spirit, during the chanting of the Sutra of Salvation, ascended to the heavens and vanished into the celestial void.
But these evil spirits were completely absolved by the Sutra of Salvation, and their Innate True Spirits returned to Heaven and Earth.
Whoooosh...
The moment when the spirits returned to Heaven and Earth, the Soul Subduing Banner suddenly emanated dazzling ghostly light, which spread in all directions and reflected in the void as slow-flowing Underworld Rivers.
