In the end, with Huai Shi's swift movement, the strange intelligent bracelet once again snapped shut around his wrist.
A crisp click.
In an instant, the Blood Sea rolled back.
The four living things twitched once, then began convulsing in pain, turning to stone at high speed and cracking apart.
They had never truly been alive, just false existences derived from the Element of Destructive. Once their life force was cut off, they could only wither and disperse like plants whose roots had been chopped off.
Huai Shi's face was deathly pale. The Divine Nature of the Great Priestess struggled desperately against its shackles, the gravity of the Ruins once again climbing, drawing the flesh spawned from the Eternal Beast back into the Casting Furnace.
At last, steel closed.
The gate shut tight again.
The bone forest collapsed into dust, the Blood Sea steamed away without a trace, and the Corpse Mountain turned into Ashes.
Only a foul stench lingered in the air.
The smell of rot.
