It indeed was so.
In order to achieve the greatest possible balance of benefits from all sides, the Xuanwu Sect took things slowly, gradually gathering what was needed for the blood sacrifice.
But now, the fall of the Seven Star Taoist Lord hastened everything.
And once expedited, things gradually spiraled out of control...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky began to rain down blood-red lightning.
This lightning, falling on mountains, caused them to wither and shrink.
When it hit the sea, it turned the vast ocean into a pond of stagnant water.
Many were summoned and resettled in the area surrounding the main peak of the Xuanwu Realm.
They thought they had been employed for their significant strength as affiliated cultivators of the sect.
But after this wave of frenzied red lightning,
they all turned into ash, their cultivation and spiritual charm seized by an invisible force.
"Not enough! It's still not enough!"
"Polluted Evil World!"
