When they saw Spirit Martial Emperor about to self-destruct his Divine Soul, the remaining Great Emperors were so shocked they could hardly think. A Great Emperor of the Sixth Layer Realm self-destructing, especially within the Slaughter Domain, left them with no chance to escape.
Spirit Martial Emperor intended to drag them all down with him, and curses erupted throughout the Slaughter Domain.
Nevertheless, Spirit Martial Emperor did not abandon his plan to self-destruct his Divine Soul because of their curses. He wanted them all as his funeral entourage.
As Spirit Martial Emperor self-destructed his Divine Soul, a terrifying force surged out of his body, seemingly ready to engulf the entire Slaughter Domain. But unexpectedly, after this force exploded, it was quickly countered and forced back to the point where Spirit Martial Emperor self-destructed.
Although Spirit Martial Emperor self-destructed, he didn't harm anyone within the Slaughter Domain, not even the Great Emperors.
