From an elevated area not far away, Akira watched the bizarre scene unfold. He observed the thick trail of blood leaving the bodies and heading toward the orb.
It became clear to him that the orb was designed to absorb blood created through demonic cultivation. Despite the elders from Sky Heaven Piercing Sect being within the orb's radius, they were able to escape unharmed, not due to their tenacity or agility, but because of the nature of the purple orb.
As the purple orb absorbed the blood of a thousand cultivators, its color deepened to the point where it was almost unrecognizable as purple.
In a swift and effortless move, the Great Elder of the Snake Devouring Sect annihilated a thousand disciples.
Akira watched as the Great Elder with bloodshot eyes consumed the orb.
Soon after, the Great Elder's body contorted and his eyes rolled back, a sign of the immense power he had gained his body couldn't contain.
