The power of Chan Zu and Mai Yamai was immense, and even with the efficiency of the containment facility, absorbing it took considerable time.
For an entire hour, Wen Wen only felt a noticeable weakening of their strength. To completely drain them would be a protracted endeavor.
Without a confluence of rare opportunities, it would be impossible for two Calamity-level powerhouses to be at Wen Wen's disposal for energy absorption.
Therefore, no matter what they said, Wen Wen would not let them go.
A duck already in hand, even if it tried to fly away, its meat would be kept!
After half a day of absorption, Chan Zu fell into a deep sleep. In this state, Wen Wen's energy absorption speed would slow down, but there was no alternative.
During the period when Mai Yamai and Chan Zu were trapped within the massive energy shield, the mutated creatures and cicada insects lost their control and began to wreak havoc indiscriminately.
This kept the demon hunters and the Glory Church personnel exceptionally busy.
However, this busyness was far more relaxed than before. These creatures were troublesome, but their numbers were no longer increasing, and they flitted about like headless flies. Clearing them up was much easier than before.
After several days of continuous battle, these monsters were mostly annihilated. Some also perished on their own due to the loss of energy supply.
The demon hunters did not lower their guard, as the culprits behind this incident, those two Calamity-level monsters, were still alive. When they awakened, they might instigate another disaster.
Charlie had been stationed outside the shield, trying dozens of methods to break in without success, but he remained steadfastly outside. Su Dan Novel Network.
The Glory Church had paid a tremendous price to transform Chan Zu into a creature of light; how could they abandon Chan Zu?
Two thousand years – who knew how the Glory Church had endured those two millennia?
Furthermore, although the cross had been recovered, the seven nails that fell from it were also valuable items that could not be left unattended.
Xun Ying merely left a sword here, allowing him to monitor the situation at any time, and then returned to Xihong City to recuperate. Ever since emerging from the Ghost City, he had been operating under immense strain.
This was the opportune moment to conserve his strength, lest the true body of Feng Guishen awaken and cause further trouble.
Wu Liu Gen disappeared after the great battle that day, his whereabouts unknown to anyone.
However, two days prior, a treasure vault at the headquarters of the Glory Church was ransacked.
That treasure vault contained treasures from other churches that the Glory Church had 'collected' over millennia.
Following that, the Huafu Hunter Association and the Buddhist sects in southern Huafu signed a friendly mutual assistance agreement.
The Huafu Association provided the Buddhist sects with numerous conveniences, and in return, the Buddhist sects offered many rare and peculiar items imbued with historical and religious significance.
Oh, right, the Buddhist sects also placed a substantial order with the Hunter Association.
The order was for armaments from the "Buddha Says" series, and a Bodhisattva wielding a Gatling gun had also quietly appeared in the Buddhist temples of southern Huafu.
...
Boom!
Black energy condensed into a vortex around Wen Wen's body. The vortex spun faster and faster, eventually returning into Wen Wen's form.
Wen Wen himself had already ascended to the Superior Sequence realm!
It was now the sixth day since Wen Wen began absorbing the energy of the two Calamity-level beings. The continuous flow of immense energy through his body had purified his internal energy, making his physique increasingly resilient, ultimately breaking through the power barrier and reaching a new realm.
Mai Yamai had been completely drained by Wen Wen the previous day, transforming into a crying infant with one black and one white wing, constantly sniveling.
As its power drained away, the aftereffects of Mai Yamai losing two chunks of its brain became apparent. Now, not only was its strength greatly diminished, but it was also mentally impaired.
Indeed, mentally impaired in the truest sense of the word.
However, its body was still a Calamity-level physique. If a real fight were to break out, this little paraplegic would still be quite formidable. It could easily tear apart a Mid-Sequence psionic user, and even a Superior Sequence might not be able to defeat it if they were unaware of its true capabilities.
Wen Wen, feeling pity for it, did not directly absorb it into its 'primal state.'
As for Chan Zu...
Chan Zu truly lived up to its status as a being a level higher than ordinary Calamity-level entities. To date, only two of its wings had been drained, and it still maintained its Calamity-level strength.
But with the continuous absorption by the containment facility, Chan Zu would likely only be able to sustain itself for a few more days.
When Mai Yamai was drained, the Calamity Zone of the containment facility had already opened, but Wen Wen had not yet had the time to check on it.
Now that Mai Yamai had degenerated to such an extent, it could no longer restrain Chan Zu. If Wen Wen hadn't maintained the state of energy absorption, Chan Zu would have already broken free from its current predicament.
Two more days passed, and the seventh and eighth wings of Chan Zu also began to appear ethereal, signifying their imminent disappearance. Once they vanished, Chan Zu's strength would descend from the Calamity level.
At this moment, Wen Wen suddenly stopped, then drew the Blood River Sword, cutting off several cubic meters of flesh from Chan Zu's body and collecting several large vats of blood.
Subsequently, he inserted the Blood River Sword into Chan Zu's body, allowing it to absorb Chan Zu's flesh and blood to its fullest.
Wen Wen made a quick estimation: Chan Zu would regain some degree of mobility in at most another hour, so Wen Wen had to prepare everything within half an hour.
He immediately flew out of Chan Zu's body and landed on a giant spike. Chains were released from his hands, and the massive iron spike gradually shrank, being stored by Wen Wen into the containment facility.
Charlie, outside, stared in disbelief.
He had been heartbroken to see Chan Zu lose two wings earlier, and now this fellow inside wanted to take the nails as well.
This was bullying; it was definitely bullying!
Wen Wen, like a diligent little bee, collected one nail and then moved to another, until all seven nails were stored in the containment facility.
These seven nails possessed immense power. Wen Wen planned to hand them over to Red Beard, asking him to disguise them and fashion them into new javelins.
Nails capable of sealing Chan Zu would surely have a marvelous effect if impaled into ordinary enemies.
After all seven nails were collected, the sea surface that had been held still returned to normal. Fish in the water began to float to the surface, and the sea was covered with fish carcasses.
This prolonged period of封禁 and the clash of Calamity-level powers had nearly annihilated the marine life in this area. Fishermen in the vicinity would likely find it difficult to catch fish in the future.
And Chan Zu, which had been lying on the sea surface, consequently sank halfway into the seabed due to the impact.
Seawater entered its body through the wound at its tail, causing Chan Zu to tremble again.
After the Millennium Kill, then being shot by a hidden arrow, and now having saltwater poured into its wounds, it was truly wretched.
