Soon, the golden runes that encircled them began to fly and make their way towards the competitors' field. They intertwined with each other like golden rivers floating and shuffling among the Spiritual Emperors.

As they remained in place, they began to feel strange. Some heard a strange buzz in their ears, a few of them experienced blurred images flashing before their eyes, and the rest felt the spiritual power within them disappear in an instant.

These runes were impacting each Spiritual Emperor on the field differently.

A few of the Spiritual Emperors were able to detect and hear certain mantras a few moments later. However, most of them were incomplete. None of them dared to try and chant them out loud for fear of worsening their situation.

During the process of comprehension, it was easy to spiral into madness. He needed to stop it once he detected its early signs in any of the competitors. Otherwise, there would be unimaginable consequences.

Soon, more and more Spiritual Emperors from both the middle-level and the low-level began to take their shot at the comprehension task.
