Even the eyes of Linghai Zhiwang and the other Prefects ached somewhat. They needed several moments to adapt to the light before they could look at the darkness in the courtyard.
The point of light in the darkness had grown much larger, now deserving to be called a ball of light. However, it was still difficult to clearly make out, as if the darkness had masked it with a thin layer of gauze.
A figure appeared in the ball of light. One could faintly see that it was naked and that a pair of white wings was growing from its back.
The blinding light came from this figure, spreading out in all directions.
Light and darkness were two absolute contradictory strengths, but strangely, this light did not harm the darkness.
On the contrary, the darkness seemed to be taking strength from this light, allowing it to thicken until it almost seemed to be real.
The strong winds coming down from the sky caused the darkness to roil, making it look like the inky sea right before a hurricane.
