After Su Yu left, Xie Yitian began to "clean up the battlefield" as instructed by Su Yu.
This so-called cleaning up the battlefield was actually... to completely wipe out the residual believers of Heavenly Punishment!
These madmen were notorious, their hands stained with blood, responsible for the destruction of numerous human settlements.
Leaving such characters behind would only bring disaster.
Now that Su Yu's ritual is complete and they are no longer needed, he left their cleanup to Xie Yitian.
Xie Yitian wanted to ascend to eight-star, requiring a sufficient number of flesh and blood carriers, and these believers of Heavenly Punishment were just right for the job.
None of these guys should think about surviving.
However, saying it's a complete wipeout, it's not actually that gory.
Xie Yitian activated his ability, fully unleashing the power of the Data Ghost, swiftly invading the brains of those believers of Heavenly Punishment.
