As the lord of this realm’s Water Veins, it was the most sensitive to the flow of Spiritual Qi.
In its perception, the fleeing rock giant ahead was no longer a mere divine vessel, but a terrifying, bottomless black hole!
As the outsider within the giant’s body breathed with mad abandon, the nature’s spiritual energy for dozens of miles around—and even the Origin Qi Mechanism generated by the collapse of the Cyan Nether Realm—was all being forcefully plundered, devoured whole.
"The Spiritual Qi... why is it constantly decreasing?!"
The Evil Flood Dragon let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with the fanaticism of a guardian of the Celestial Dao:
"Damned outsider bug! You’re stealing this realm’s foundation! You’re accelerating this world’s demise!!"
"Spit out everything you’ve devoured! If I let you become a true threat, what will become of this realm?!"
Its killing intent boiling over, the Evil Flood Dragon no longer held back.
"Decree—Water Prison Lock Realm!"
With an obscure, ancient draconic edict, the water vapor in the air instantly condensed.
Dozens of thick Lock Chains formed from Black Water, imbued with a venomous Law that corroded all things, tore through the void and sank viciously into the Lingma Mountain God’s legs and back.
The horrifying sound of corrosion made one’s scalp crawl. Much of the Mountain God’s rocky skin instantly dissolved, and its barely maintained sprint immediately devolved into a stagger.
At this rate of deterioration, the once-invincible Divine Body could last for just a few more minutes before it completely disintegrated into a pile of rubble.
Astonishingly, however, even with its legs pierced by the Black Water Lock Chains, the Mountain God did not stop.
Like a stone that felt no pain, it dragged its broken body onward, stubbornly charging toward the far west under the constant assault of sky-spanning void wind blades.
’Faster... a little faster...’
Atop the altar in the Underground Palace, the Land God, in his clay form, was drenched in sweat, his trembling hands manipulating the Array Core.
At this moment, Chu Bai was deep in Meditation, completely focused on that sliver of an opportunity for a breakthrough. Thus, the heavy burden of piloting the fleeing Divine Body fell entirely upon the shoulders of the Land God.
’The Lord Envoy is at a critical juncture. The Divine Body absolutely cannot stop!’
The Land God stared at the light screen, where a border of darkness was drawing ever closer.
As the chaotic void continued its consumption, the livable space within the Cyan Nether Realm was shrinking at an alarming rate.
Of the once-vast world, only this land in the far west had yet to completely collapse.
"There are people up ahead! A lot of them!"
In this hopeless, final land, hundreds of surviving Cultivators had gathered, cornered with nowhere left to run.
With their backs to the crumbling edge of the world, they faced the three terrifying pursuing Demon Gods, the light long since faded from their eyes.
"Is that... the Mountain God?"
"It can’t even save itself..."
Just as the crowd fell into despair, the thousand-foot-tall, wound-covered giant thundered into their midst.
"In!"
Following Chu Bai’s earlier example, the Land God manipulated the rock on the Divine Body’s chest to open a fissure, which then emitted a gentle suction.
Hundreds of Cultivators were instantly drawn into the Underground Palace.
"Don’t just stand there gawking! If you don’t want to die, start channeling your Spiritual Power!!"
The Land God’s sharp voice echoed within the Underground Palace.
This new injection of manpower caused the precarious Divine Body to light up with a faint glow, like the final flare of a dying candle.
The Land God wasn’t finished, however.
His gaze was fixed on the ruins ahead, locked onto a dark purple corpse as massive as a mountain.
It was the Sky-Suppressing Kite, which had been slain by the Purple Mansion Master with a single finger and had fallen from the highest heavens!
This bird-bodied Divine Spirit had mastered the Power of Space. Though it had fallen, its Divine Corpse still emanated unnerving spatial fluctuations.
’The Lord Envoy said before... that all things can be returned to the Origin...’
The Land God swallowed hard. He glanced back at Chu Bai, who was frantically devouring the Spiritual Mechanism, and a crazy idea flashed through his mind.
’I’ll risk it!’
As the Lingma Mountain God passed by the Divine Corpse, it abruptly bent down. Its intact left hand shot out, snatching the Sky-Suppressing Kite’s shattered neck as easily as if grabbing a chick.
Then, under the utterly horrified gazes of the three Divine Spirits outside, the rock on the Mountain God’s chest and abdomen thundered open, revealing an opening like the giant maw of a furnace. It then shoved the massive Divine Corpse right inside!
"What... What is it doing?!"
"It’s even going to eat a Divine Corpse?!"
The Beastkeeping Commissioner, watching from mid-air, was so shocked its cold, slitted pupils nearly popped out of their sockets.
’Devouring the Spiritual Power of the living was one thing. At least that was from a similar source.’
’But that’s the corpse of a Divine Spirit! It’s filled with frenzied Divine Dao Laws and Resentment. How does it dare?!’
「Inside the Underground Palace.」
BOOM—!!!
As the corpse of the Sky-Suppressing Kite was drawn into the "Melting Pool" at the Array’s core, the entire Underground Palace shook violently.
A blast of utterly wild spatial turbulence instantly erupted throughout the Underground Palace.
"You’re insane! Land God, you’ve gone mad!"
"It’s just a corpse! How can it be refined?!"
Xia Xing and the others cried out in terror.
But in the next moment, they all fell silent.
They saw Chu Bai, who sat at the center of the altar voraciously devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, slightly furrow his brow the moment the spatial turbulence erupted.
Then, the vortex from his Guiyuan Technique, spinning at its absolute limit, unceremoniously split off a current of suction that enveloped the Divine Corpse.
It was the domineering instinct of his Nourishing and Exquisite Fate Chart—all things were nourishment!
Be it Clear Spirit Qi, Muddy Evil Qi, or even the residual Law Fragments within the Divine Corpse...
’They are all sources of power. There is no difference...’
Watched by more than two thousand people, the Divine Corpse, which teemed with terrifying energy, began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And after devouring this Divine Power, the aura around Chu Bai surged explosively once again!
