The dark chamber was not dim; on the contrary, it was filled with deep purple fluoresce, and the source of this glow was a huge, elliptical egg at the site where the divine statue used to be, throbbing like a heart.
The purple and red overlapping egg was protected by pairs of gray arms, young and old, male and female, belonging to the sacrificed beings. Hand linked to heart, their souls had been devoured, becoming part of the egg.
At the first opportunity, Lu Jin's body threw itself into the egg, where thousands of hands 'gently' embraced him, then... slowly began to absorb him.
Terrifying demonic Qi steamed upward, even forming a curtain of deep purple, enshrouding the egg within it.
"Boom!"
An Jing, who had just entered the dark chamber, immediately fired a Chongming Sword Box, but the egg reacted swiftly, gray arms acting as a shield against the flying sword. Even though it suffered some damage, it was clear that this sort of attack was not enough to kill it.
