Accompanying the Azure Emperor's voice was a powerful aura of destruction. He supported the unconscious Yun Qi with one hand while gathering spirit energy in the other to grasp at the void. The dissipating Yin energy around him seemed to be forcibly trapped in that instant, and his hand pierced through it to seize a fragment of shadowy nothingness.
The shadow possessed a blurred form, its eyes glowing with an eerie green fire, now wide with terror. It struggled desperately to escape, even amplifying its own Yin energy until the surrounding trees and leaves were coated in a layer of frost. Yet it could not break free from the Azure Emperor's grasp.
"Who... who are you?"
