The small sun in the void caused by Yuan's sacrifice did not fade until many moments later, and when it finally did, Yuan and Angela were nowhere to be seen, as if they'd been erased from existence.

After a long moment of silence, someone finally broke the silence and muttered in a dazed voice, "S-Soul… Soul Rupture… the Divine Paragon detonated his soul just to defeat that monster…"
Soul Rupture functioned similarly to Dantian Destruction, a forbidden technique in which a cultivator destroyed their own Dantian—the very source of their cultivation—to unleash immense destructive power. Naturally, such a drastic measure was only taken in the most desperate life-or-death situations.
When a cultivator used Dantian Destruction, their cultivation would perish entirely. However, there remained a slim chance that they could survive and eventually rebuild their Dantian.
