Li Tianjue didn't know how to store the divine source, so he could only scoop it into his palm.
The divine source grew larger and larger, soon surpassing Li Tianjue's size, like a large ball of clear water. With a thought, the divine source began to condense according to his will, rapidly shrinking but becoming more solid, as if the mass in his palm was the entire ocean.
It wasn't just Li Tianjue; Su Luo, Chu Tianshu, and others felt the same.
Just by being near the divine source, they gained unimaginable benefits, the most obvious being a rapid increase in their cultivation. Even though the divine source was still in their palms and not absorbed into their bodies, they all broke through simultaneously.
The five of them continued to collect the divine source. After a while, they had only collected a tenth of it.
Suddenly, the golden-armored divine being turned its head, glared, and swung a saber at Su Luo and the others.
A rolling hurricane howled towards them…
Seeing that the situation was not good, Emperor Haotian quickly struck the golden-armored divine being with a fierce punch.
A giant fist phantom descended from the sky, smashing down like a mountain onto the golden-armored divine being's head. Its massive body instantly sank, its legs sinking into the void, a portion disappearing into thin air.
Boom!
Emperor Haotian struck again, and the golden-armored divine being sank further, its knees and below vanishing.
"You disregard the rules, kill!"
Rolling sound waves emanated from the golden-armored divine being's mouth. Seeing Su Luo and the others snatching the divine source, a murderous intent flashed in its eyes. It stood in place and swung its giant Guan Dao forward. The void was instantly torn open by a massive gash, a black crescent moon like the scythe of death striking towards them.
"Quick, dodge!" Su Luo cried out in alarm.
This was Emperor Chaos's ultimate move, 'World Annihilation Slash.' Even a single hit would result in both body and soul being annihilated. Even if this golden-armored divine being only had thirty percent of Emperor Chaos's cultivation, it was not something they could withstand.
The five grabbed the divine source and scattered. The ethereal blue droplets in their hands did not completely separate from the main body of the divine source, but were stretched into five thin threads like maltose, growing longer and longer, yet still connected.
Chu Tianshu exclaimed in shock, "This is bad, it won't break!"
Lu Jixing quickly used his long sword to cut, but it still couldn't be severed. His spiritual power was directly dissolved in the divine source, leaving him helpless. The farther he ran with the divine source droplet, the longer the connected threads became, resembling a ball of yarn.
What exactly was this divine source?
If it couldn't be broken, would they have to run with such long threads of divine source?
As the massive black crescent moon approached, the space it passed through vibrated, as if on the verge of collapse. Su Luo shouted, "Forget the rest, break out! Quickly!"
The group disregarded the remaining divine source, clutching the divine source in their hands and rushing into the void corridor.
Five ethereal blue threads floated behind them, trailing long blue streaks of light. Then, the oppressive aura struck. The black crescent moon slashed across the entrance of the corridor, followed by rumbling sounds of collapse. Cracks in space appeared, and the entire void hall shook violently, gradually collapsing.
Hundred-Eyed Celestial Lord lay on the ground, terrified. It was over!
He couldn't move and cried out loudly, "Help, and me—"
Su Luo and the others had no time to concern themselves with him. They only glanced back at Emperor Haotian who was still entangled with the golden-armored divine being before all of them plunged into the void corridor.
Hundred-Eyed Celestial Lord felt immense hatred. He would die so indignantly!
If not for these people from Qingxu Heaven impersonating his subordinates, how could he have been tricked into such a fate? Hatred, he hated them!
Demon Lord, you must avenge me—!
With a final scream, Hundred-Eyed Celestial Lord watched as the black crescent moon swept over his body. The dark shadow spread from his toes to his thighs, all turning into nothingness, along with his body, neck, and head.
The moment his divine consciousness disappeared, he felt a trace of relief. This way of dying was not painful at all.
Su Luo and the other four ran desperately towards the entrance of the corridor. The space behind them continuously collapsed and disappeared, leaving only a black void. She looked back and realized with alarm that the collapse was happening too fast. In a few more seconds, it would engulf them.
From afar, the void hall was reduced to a small lump the size of a fist. Emperor Haotian was still entangled with the golden-armored divine being, and the astonishing sounds of battle continued to echo. Su Luo shouted, "Quick, come out, Great Emperor!"
"Ah, this is killing me, oh dear—!"
Chu Tianshu exclaimed, feeling his flying hair being devoured by an invisible force. His heart raced, and he sped up by another three points, as if his behind was on fire, finally saving his hair.
Lu Jixing was falling behind, his hemline constantly being swallowed by the void, his back exposed. Seeing that his entire body was about to be sucked in, Su Luo suddenly turned back. At this instant, she unleashed the God Conferring Technique, sealing the entire corridor space behind them.
In an instant, she felt her life force rapidly draining, but the collapse froze for a second. At the same time, Li Tianjue flicked his finger, shooting out a floral chain that wrapped around Lu Jixing's waist and pulled forcefully, finally yanking him out in time.
The group finally escaped into the hall, gasping for breath.
Each of them held a ball of ethereal blue divine source in their hands. The unbreakable blue threads were finally gone. Although only palm-sized, they still shimmered with a blue light, as if integrating all things in the universe.
However, no matter what, these balls of divine source could not be placed into storage rings, possessing a repelling force of their own.
"Huff huff, we finally escaped, that was close…" Wen Daier ran, panting, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
The entrance to the corridor kept vibrating, and the black spatial power spread throughout the entire hall like a spiderweb.
Thump thump thump… The hall continuously contracted and expanded, like a beating heart. Each pulse made them feel incredibly uncomfortable, their heads splitting, as if they were about to explode.
The entire hall began to shake, precarious and on the verge of collapse. Rubble continuously fell, as if it could not hold on much longer.
Li Tianjue said solemnly, "Leave here quickly, the hall is about to collapse!"
Chu Tianshu glanced back at the dark corridor entrance. Emperor Haotian still hadn't come out. Su Luo knew there was no time to delay and quickly said, "Let's go out first! Great Emperor—hurry out, it's too late!"
She shouted loudly and turned to flee. Just as she turned, she finally saw a white figure emerge from the corridor entrance. It was Shang Xie Shaoqing… No, Emperor Haotian was still controlling his body, his hair flying wildly. Then, the entrance behind him disappeared, leaving only darkness.
"So close, so close, finally shook him off!" Emperor Haotian looked relieved.
Boom boom boom…
The hall also began to collapse rapidly, and the dark void spread. Emperor Haotian saw that the situation was not good and swept forward. He couldn't muster enough speed and almost fell. Li Tianjue waved his hand, and a flower-shaped chain wrapped around his waist. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, he, along with Su Luo and the others, fled outwards, their speed accelerating to the extreme.
The five of them tightly clutched the divine source in their hands, letting Li Tianjue carry them in a mad escape. They stepped on pieces of white stone, continuously leaping away from the shore divine bridge. The darkness behind them followed like a shadow, and large pieces of white stone also plummeted into the abyss, the collapse spreading throughout the entire ruin.
How terrifying!
Is this the power to destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth?
