Amidst the raging Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Evil Spirit King was suffering extreme and agonizing torment. Its ferocious and terrifying visage was twisted out of shape, and a series of shrill, miserable shrieks burst from its mouth, as if the entire world could hear its tragic plight. At the same time, a massive surge of dense, ink-like black vapor gushed endlessly from deep within the Evil Spirit King's colossal spiritual body, rolling outward like billowing black smoke.
Time dragged on slowly and mercilessly, every single minute and second a trial and torture for the Evil Spirit King. After about half an hour, the once unimaginably huge spiritual body of the Evil Spirit King began to shrink gradually, its form undergoing a miraculous transformation—ultimately condensing into a pitch-black bead that emitted an eerie glow.
Just then, the pitch-black bead suddenly trembled violently, followed immediately by a resentful and furious voice of a Ferocious Ghost emanating from within: "Brat, how dare you ruin a century of my cultivation! He who does not avenge this grudge is no gentleman. One day, I will surely return to settle this score with you!" However, before the words had even faded, the trembling of the bead stopped abruptly, returning to complete stillness without the slightest twitch. Even that spine-chilling voice of the Ferocious Ghost vanished without a trace.
