Apotheosis

This time, the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and the others in the chaos didn't join Zen in his journey to the Jade Pure Realm.

Including Zen himself, there were a total of forty humans.

The second they stepped into the Jade Pure Realm, thirty three of them died on the spot. Only seven remained.

Everyone was shocked, but they couldn't say they were surprised.

"Well... Is this one of the techniques of the Snake Spirit King?" the Snake Goddess asked sadly.

"Yes, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said it was called the Space Devouring Technique," Zen answered in a low voice.

Just then, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord's soul floated out from Zen's head. "This is the theurgy of a Holy Item named the Space Guiding Stone," he explained. "The Snake Spirit King has been prepared."

"Has the Snake Spirit King been hiding here all the time?" Fuxi asked, whipping his head alertly.

The surrounding environment was as quiet as ever. No one could sense the auras of Treacherous Beings.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord shook his head. "He doesn't even need to be here. With the Limited Omnipotent Stone, he monitors everything that goes on in the Jade Pure Realm, including our current conversation."

"Is the Limited Omnipotent Stone really so powerful?" Fuxi's eyes widened in disbelief.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord huffed, "I already mentioned this before we set out. You weren't listening carefully!"

He had found out about some of the Snake Spirit King's methods through Elder Xue. In addition, he had been lurking in the Jade Pure Realm for so many years, so it was only natural he learned about some of the Snake Spirit King's theurgies, but he didn't know them all.

"Before we had set out, I knew that this trip would be riddled with danger, but I didn't expect that we would have to suffer such heavy losses," the Primeval Lord of Heaven said with a pained expression.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was much calmer. "Since their souls are kept in the Civilization Artifact, they would be onlookers like me now."

If the chaos was truly destroyed, or even downgraded, all the creatures in the chaos would be killed. The humans here had lived for a long time, so it didn't really make any difference if they died sooner or later.

Despite that fact, everyone still wallowed in despair. Just then, Eastern Emperor Taiyi noticed something stirring in the distance. "What's going on over there?"

When everyone turned to look, they

upon arrival, most of them would drop dead.

Zen silently approached the invisible wall and reached out his finger.

As his finger approached the space wall, something strange happened. It should've touched the space wall, but he couldn't feel anything. Stranger still was the fact that half of his finger seemed to squeeze into the space then abruptly disappear.

When he withdrew his hand, it quickly returned to its original state.

"I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to break the space wall," the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said as he watched Zen poke at the wall.

As he was speaking, Zen had already launched himself right into the space wall, crashing into it. Then, his body seemed to distort, as though he was being squeezed along the edge of the wall. However, he felt no pain, nor was he injured in any way.

"This distance is enough. Break the wall."

Zen's voice came from the edge of the wall.

This wall built by the Space Guiding Stone was indeed very ingenious. Zen found that it had used most of the power in the space-time quadrant, but as the owner of the ancestry-level bloodline, he could still easily find a method to get around it.

Zen suddenly twisted his body like a snake, and at the same time, the invisible space wall began to twist like the rippling water.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Deafening sounds of glass being shattered rang, and the space wall twisted a few times before crumbling into countless pieces.

The invisible barrier had disappeared, but the scenery in the distance did not change at all. But since it had taken them some time, the Monkey Spirit King was long gone by now.
