The two men dashed out of the corrupted Golden Tree, and immediately upon emerging, Mo Fei noticed that the corruption was not limited to the interior of the Golden Tree alone.
At this moment, the once spectacular golden trunk of the Golden Tree had transformed into a bizarre mix of half-black and half-gold. Gold and black continuously clashed and intertwined, as if the Holy Light and the Power of Shadows were vying for control of this massive tree.
Ultimately, however, shadows prevailed. The dazzling light once cast by the Golden Tree had now turned into dark shadows. The enormous shadow enveloped the entire city of Lordaeron. The tree's golden leaves had transformed into pitch-black, decaying foliage, descending from the skies like a rain of black rot, shrouding the city of Lordaeron in an eerie black fog.
