Yong Baili was glad he had moved away in time. If he were struck by the main lightning pillar, he was sure he wouldn't have an intact body anymore. He, however, could not escape the lightning snakes that spread from the point of impact. His defensive art protected him. He wasn't wounded, but the lightning energy paralyzed his body.
The others near him were not as fortunate. Only Spirit Stage soldiers were unscathed, but they were similarly paralyzed like Yong Baili. Mystic stage soldiers who survived mostly suffered various degrees of burns on their bodies.
The Lightning Calamity took out many Echos' soldiers, but the real loss was their Yuanxu Cannons. The First Demon Army placed twenty-three Yuanxu Cannons on the mountains. Eight cannons were destroyed or buried under the rubble after the devastation.
