Aksai's body convulsed violently.
The destruction of his Spirit Cores sent an overwhelming backlash through his cultivation foundation.
The Core Formation power he had painstakingly accumulated began collapsing, and the spiritual foundation supporting his Lord-level cultivation rapidly disintegrated.
His aura plummeted.
From mid-stage Lord, he fell through the successive thresholds of the Core Formation realm, losing the cultivation he had spent so many years accumulating.
By the time the collapse finally stopped, Aksai's cultivation had regressed to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
He was no longer a Lord.
His Core Formation foundation had been completely ruined.
Yet Kanis wasn't satisfied with merely destroying Aksai's Spirit Cores. He still had to ensure that the spirit farmer couldn't pose any threat in the future.
Kanis withdrew his Natal Sword from Aksai's Dantian and turned its miniature blade toward the latter's cultivation channels.
