Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Countless fragments flew and scattered, each still writhing wildly, yet never able to come together again.

"Ahhh—"

A mournful wail echoed throughout the land.

They were defeated in an instant, utterly and completely.

"I never expected the demonic bow would be of such help to you!"

The scattered remains shrieked high in the sky, but did not scatter and flee.

Instead, driven by a desperate madness, they swarmed towards Qi Zhimu like a pack of hyenas smelling blood.

"But the Demon Bow is too stingy! It only gave you its power once!"

"So what if my body is destroyed?"

"My body cannot be restored, but yours can! Since you destroyed me, then repay me with your body! Hahaha!"

All the fragments of the remains broke through space and distance, pouring into Qi Zhimu's body.

Qi Zhimu did not dodge.

Or rather, he never intended to hide, allowing those things to penetrate his body and erode and assimilate every cell.

Soon, he could no longer make out a human shape.

The body began to twist and swell, with rough bark growing on its surface, and many deformed organs that had been plundered from some unknown monster.

His aura vanished quickly, replaced by a fleeting, nauseatingly rich presence.

Qi Zhimu thus transformed into a completely unrecognizable, hybrid monster.

"Hahaha! Can you feel it?"

Suddenly, an arrogant voice emanated from the monster's throat, carrying the smugness of a victor.

"You are me now! I am you, we can never be separated!"

"Without the qualifications of a commander, what makes you think you can resist my will?! Become my vessel!"

Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, the monster's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.

"Resist?"

Qi Zhimu's voice echoed softly from the depths of his consciousness.

"I never intended to defy your will in the first place..."

The laughter abruptly stopped, and a strange unease welled up inside me.

"What do you mean?"

Qi Zhimu's voice grew weaker and weaker, yet it carried a chilling eeriness that sent shivers down Shuhu's spine.

"You are me, and I am you. If I die, you will die too."

Upon hearing this, he immediately understood Qi Zhimu's plan.

"Even I couldn't kill you quickly, but now that you're in my hands, I'll make your body regenerate infinitely. You'll have a hard time dying even if you want to!"

"Then, I'll imprison and seal away the rest of your consciousness... Hmm?"

Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.

He felt a familiar force surging from the depths of his consciousness, forcibly isolating the will that did not belong to this body, desperately guarding the last shred of clarity, and resisting His erosion.

"Without the qualifications of a commander, all your struggles are in vain! My power is beyond your imagination!"

The life-or-death struggle of gradual erosion has begun.

Before long, a golden light streaked across the sky.

Teng Xiao finally arrived and looked around at the desolate star riddled with holes.

Upon seeing the terrifying, bizarre monster standing amidst the ruins, he was initially taken aback, then gripped the greatsword in his hand tightly.

His appearance had changed drastically, but he would never mistake that nauseating smell for his own.

Although it's unclear why the Emperor's Bow Master is also casting his gaze here, but now...

Teng Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Shh, prepare to die!"

"Hehehe... Teng Xiao, if you were at your peak right now, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you, but unfortunately..."

He glanced behind him and saw that the God's light had dimmed to the point of almost going out, and couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

However, He was not at ease in dealing with Teng Xiao's offensive.

This stems from the fact that I haven't completely taken control of Qi Zhimu's body yet. At this point, putting aside our hostile stance, I actually admire him quite a bit.

A mere mortal, yet he has driven the Envoy of Abundance to such a state; he is something to be proud of throughout the entire galaxy.

Even though Shuhu was in poor condition at this moment, Teng Xiao's attacks were unlikely to have much effect on him.

Compared to Cangcheng a thousand years ago, it has suddenly become much more troublesome.

Each time it returns from death, this damned giant tree grows stronger.

In the past, Teng Xiao was able to kill Shu Hu several times, but now that Shu Hu appeared in Luofu, his attacks have been futile.

He had no other way out.

Even at the cost of their lives, they must leave it behind and wait for the arrival of the other celestial ships as reinforcements.

Half a system time has passed.

Teng Xiao blocked a sudden, heavy blow, the terrifying force causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, rendering him unable to maintain his divine status any longer.

He suddenly gave a cold laugh, and just as he was about to seize the opportunity to kill, a dozen strange ships appeared out of thin air.

A powerful dragon circled above the fleet, unleashing a burst of dragon breath from its mouth.

Caught off guard, he took a sudden and unexpected blow, but his injuries healed rapidly. He looked up at the sky.

"The Azure-Holding Dragon Lord, the Heavenly Wind Lord?"

Tianfengjun stared intently at Shuhu, his expression suddenly changing.

"How can you have the aura of Jianmu's blessing within you?!"

Upon hearing this, Teng Xiao's expression also turned ugly.

How could Jianmu have been so suddenly defiled?

When...

"This is all thanks to Qi Zhimu; he brought me the power of the Jianmu tree." Suddenly, a strange laugh rang out.

He is close to succeeding.

Qi Zhimu is no longer able to communicate with Him, and in a few minutes, this body will completely belong to Him.

Although it cannot compare to the shattered original body, it can be rebuilt sooner or later with some time.

He has no shortage of time.

Suddenly, his left arm transformed into a branch, upon which Qi Zhimu's face materialized.

"While revenge may be presumptuous, I admit that he is a worthy opponent."

Upon seeing that face, both Teng Xiao and Tianfeng Jun clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth.

The hero who dedicated most of his life to the Immortal Ship was suddenly swallowed up...

"Where is my old friend General Yaoqing? Why didn't he come? Oh right, Shafeng is dead. The current general seems to be called... Never mind, it's not important."

Suddenly, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, appearing calm and composed.

Only after possessing Qi Zhimu's body did I realize just how much of the Jianmu's power this guy had seized.

To put it bluntly, even if Rahu devoured all the abundant blessings gathered by the people of Cangcheng, it would still be difficult to reach even one-tenth of the power of Jianmu.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to waste so much time with Qi Zhimu.

Once this body is completely under control, even if the Marshal of the Immortal Ship arrives in person, he will not be able to keep Him.

"Come on, keep attacking me in vain!"

"You deserve to die!!!"

Teng Xiao roared and attacked Tian Fengjun in an instant.

A cold smile crept into his heart. Attacking this body would only accelerate the dissolution of Qi Zhimu's consciousness, allowing Him to succeed even faster.

That's why He didn't kill Teng Xiao immediately...

Gradually, the fastest reinforcement fleets from each of the immortal ships arrived one after another, joining this fierce siege.

However, the more the war progressed, the uglier everyone's faces became.

Suddenly, this bastard showed no signs of weakness; instead, he fought with increasing ferocity, and any attack that landed on his body was unlikely to cause any real damage.

The battle raged on for a long time, and news of reinforcements arrived from the rear.

The main force that Luo Fu could still mobilize, led by four of the five elite warriors of Yun Shang, was about to arrive.

However, at that moment, the monster surrounded by everyone suddenly unleashed an extremely terrifying aura, blasting everyone around it away.

"Hahaha, it's done! I am the fleeting moment, I am eternity!!"
