Meanwhile, those waiting anxiously in the far northern sea region, including various factions and medical cultivators, tried their best to reduce their absorption of the contaminated spiritual energy.
But before they could receive any instructions from Yingzhou Celestial Isle, they too fell ill.
At the same time, the infection spread to a sea region spanning one hundred thousand miles around the original outbreak area.
Another seven days later, all life within that hundred thousand mile region was completely wiped out.
In total, within about a month after the gray pillar of light dissipated, two waves of outbreaks had already occurred.
They resulted in the complete extinction of all living beings except plants within a region of one hundred and ten thousand miles.
Only then did the Emperor Yingzhou finally take notice and assign his officials to handle the matter.
Unfortunately, it was already half a month too late and the consequences were severe.
