The cultivators gained control back over their qi. They then quickly jumped back, putting distance between them.
But just as this happened, the dark domain on the ground started spreading, following them. From it, many eyes opened up; it then shot shadow spears toward them.
BOOM!!!
In defense, many of the cultivators used their secret techniques and domains to block, but the shadows didn't stop there.
They grew in size, targeting every cultivator that still stayed on the stage.
Those below the golden core were easily pierced. Their bodies then shriveled away at high speed, leaving behind only their clothes.
The spike that hit the strong cultivator also started to contort and grow in size.
It began transforming into a humanoid shadow that looked exactly the same as the cultivator they faced.
"You wretched creature," one of the cultivators yelled. He blasted out, creating a huge flame in the form of a tiger.
