Complete darkness engulfed Sha Xing and Xian Yue’s worlds. Even the divine blaze of the Heavenly Wolf and the beautiful radiance of the Purple Pylon were devoured by the impossibly thick and anomalous darkness completely. They weren’t worried, though. If this darkness only muted their five senses, then the most it could do was astonish them for an instant—0

The next moment, an involuntary shudder coursed through their souls. The soul aura they had projected beyond their physical bodies, and the soul strings that seamlessly linked them together, were suddenly under attack, as if countless pitch-black, demonic blades and saws were tearing and sawing at them. By the time terrific soul pain and fear gripped them, before they could even react to the sudden attack, the link between them had already been violently severed.0

Buzzing echoed throughout their soul seas before everything plummeted into borderless darkness. If Sha Xing or Xian Yue had experienced the “Original Abyss That Severs The Night” without the other, assuming that it was the first time they ever encountered this technique, and assuming that they were completely caught off guard, then it still wouldn’t be a crippling blow. At worst, they would lose their five senses for several breaths, and their minds would turn blank for several instants. In a straight fight, the technique would cost them dearly, but it would not kill them.0

In this state, if they were to lose their link in a completely unexpected and instantaneous fashion… then the soul collapse...0
