Chapter 2996 - 2996: White Light and Shadow

Seeing the situation, Su Yang and Qi'er both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was clear that the Human Emperor hadn't been possessed by the Black Shadow yet, which was the best news.

"Father!" Qi'er cried out urgently and flew over quickly to assist the Human Emperor in combating the five individuals.

The Confuser also hurriedly joined, teaming up with the Human Emperor to fight against the five individuals.

Su Yang, however, didn't rush over; he was more focused on observing the five individuals.

These five individuals were clearly the Strongest, with very powerful abilities.

After being possessed by the Black Shadow, they lost their sanity and fought with people like beasts.

Although the Human Emperor and his group were formidable, their situation was awkward.

Firstly, they couldn't kill the five individuals.

They had suffered before—once these five were killed or seriously injured, the Black Shadow would quickly attach to someone else, turning them into the same state.

Thus, they had to try to preserve the lives of these five individuals to prevent others from experiencing the same fate.

Yet, these five seemed to be in a desperate state, attacking madly like beasts, while the group couldn't fight back and could only defensively withstand their assaults.

Not only that, if it was just a matter of defense, that would be one thing—ten or so people resisting five attackers wouldn't be too difficult.

The key issue was that they also had to prevent these five from escaping, which made the situation awkward.

Even with about ten people, having to restrain opponents without severely injuring them forced them into an unavoidable direct confrontation, with only passive resistance.

In this way, even if their strength was considerable, they were bound to suffer losses.

So, the Human Emperor and his group's current predicament was indeed very awkward.

They couldn't let the five escape or severely injure them, leaving them in a defenseless situation. Honestly, if this battle continued like this, they would inevitably suffer losses.

Fortunately, Su Yang and the others arrived in time; otherwise, how long the Human Emperor and his group could hold out was uncertain.

Qi'er and the Confuser joining the fray improved the battlefield situation slightly.

The Human Emperor's pressure eased considerably, and upon seeing Qi'er approach, he was pleased: "Qi'er, Su Alliance Leader, how did you come here?"

Qi'er explained to the Human Emperor about their arrival.

Upon hearing it, the Human Emperor was shocked: "You said those overlapping spaces were to seal these things?"

"I thought so too, we encountered many of those overlapping spaces along the way."

"But we were quite lucky, constantly pursuing these things without entering that overlapping space."

"Otherwise, we might have gotten stuck in those overlapping spaces unable to get out!"

Qi'er nodded, and honestly, without Su Yang leading the way, they couldn't have navigated through those overlapping spaces. They were very dangerous indeed.

"Human Emperor, did you see how these people ended up like this?" asked Su Yang.

The Human Emperor nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes. This situation resembles those Soul Eaters cultivated by the Guardian God."

Su Yang and Qi'er exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.

Indeed, even the Human Emperor thought the same.

Before, Su Yang and the others had speculated, and now the Human Emperor's firsthand confirmation settled the matter completely.

"When the Taoist Venerable encountered an accident, I kept following up."

"At that time, I stopped the Taoist Venerable but saw someone flying in this direction."

"I suspected this person had some clues, so I kept pursuing."

"However, I didn't catch up to this person and unexpectedly found someone similar to the Taoist Venerable who had also lost sanity."

"We initially restrained this person, but as we continued searching, we encountered the second, third, fourth one."

"When it came to the fifth, I saw firsthand what happened."

"A white shadow entered the body of one Strongest, causing them to lose sanity."

"Like the Soul Eaters released by the Guardian God earlier, I believe this white shadow can devour souls and make people lose their sanity completely for their use!"

The Human Emperor explained.

Su Yang was taken aback: "White shadow?"

"Wasn't it black?"

The Human Emperor shook his head: "It was white, not black."

"Otherwise, I would have thought these shadows were just more powerful Soul Eaters."

"Because the colors were different, I suspect they might not be the same thing!"

Su Yang, Qi'er, and the Confuser exchanged uncertain glances, the Soul Eaters and Demons they spoke of were all black.

Could it be that they were not the same thing?

Or perhaps they were the same, just different colors? As their strength increased, the color changed?

Su Yang felt puzzled; this situation was indeed unexpected for him.

"Su Alliance Leader, we should first subdue these five individuals!" the Human Emperor said, "These five have completely lost sanity."

"I saw firsthand one Strongest slaughter all life on their planet."

"They should have been the first to recover their strength, and before the others on their planet could recover, they all were killed."

"These five must never be allowed to escape, or just one escaping would spell catastrophe for places with life!"

Su Yang nodded slowly, knowing how dangerous these people were, and certainly wouldn't let them escape.

"Let's seal them first and then discuss!"

Su Yang shouted, joining and leading the battle against the five.

With Su Yang's involvement, the pressure on others eased greatly.

Su Yang alone could restrain all five.

The Human Emperor, alongside others, arranged a powerful Array nearby to individually seal the five.

Just like how they dealt with the Taoist Venerable before, sealing them separately to prevent struggling in unison.

Finally, after some effort, everyone managed to seal the five completely.

These five were roaring and struggling within the seals, angrily shouting but unable to break free.

This Array was set up personally by the Human Emperor, reinforced by over ten Strongest. Even someone as strong as Su Yang would need effort to break through the Array, let alone these five!

The strength of these five was somewhat inferior to the Human Emperor; how could they escape the Array?
