With a single Kun Sha Seal, Fang Zhen annihilated over ninety percent of the phantoms within the Soul Cloud.
He was even a little surprised by how effective it was.
But this didn't affect his reaction speed.
He swept his long spear, whipping up a wave of fire that engulfed the remaining phantoms and burned them to cinders.
In seven or eight seconds, all one hundred fifty-plus phantoms were successfully 'purified'.
At that moment, the Night Domain trapping the Gatekeeper dissipated. The Crystal Bone Crow flew out, and the Gatekeeper within reappeared.
The Gatekeeper looked around, a bit stunned.
'Where are the souls?'
'The phantoms?'
'Where did they go?'
The black orbs of light entwined around the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper also grew sparse and dim, then naturally vanished after a second or two.
Fang Zhen confirmed his judgment had been correct.
'So the Nether Shield really was on a timer.'
