Chapter 1600: Racing against time!
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: Hitesh_
Cantecie’s soul’s screeching echoed in Zi Yao’s and Shi Yan’s head, but they decided to ignore it.
Cantecie’s soul altar floated like a big bobbing cloud, eventually sucked into that black hole and disappearing completely.
At this moment, Shi Yan’s eyes brightened as he focused on that jet black vortex. Wisps of soul energy moved like swift ropes, thrusting around the black hole.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The black hole emitted a howling wind like a massive, chewing mouth. As Cantecie cultivated the Wind Power Upanishad, her soul altar had the form of a tornado bringing up loud hissing sounds.
The black hole revolved crazily, swallowing Cantecie’s soul altar. Afterward, the suction force weakened significantly.
‘It’s time!’
The galaxy in Shi Yan’s eyes brightened as the Skyfall Star River in his hand shivered! The brilliant, diamond-like stars spun around, turning into space spears that carried a thick life energy. Together, they darted majestically toward the black hole.
“ROAR!”
Shi Yan roared while storming forward like the most savage demonic ancestor, his fingernails sharp as cold sabers.
Crack! Crack!
Space energy congregated into a massive space saber in his hand, looking like a saw. The cold, sharp space lances twisted the void as though they wanted to break this world.
The heartbeat thumped like drumbeats; listening carefully, it sounded like roaring dragons or rolling, grumbling noises of thousands of horses running together. His bearing was enough to swallow the entire world!
In this moment, Shi Yan’s Star, Space, and Life Power Upanishads were urged together. The energy in his Absolute Beginning blood and body burst out at the same time as if he wasn’t afraid of death, and he hit the black hole immediately. As the black hole had weakened and the diamonds were barring it, Shi Yan threw out a punch.
His punch came like an avalanche with a thick life energy, shooting starlight and a space splitting power!
Rumble! BOOM!
After his punch reached the black hole, it shook hard and the suction force disappeared!
Facing the sky and grinning, Shi Yan looked like a giant monster who depended on physical strength alone. The Absolute Beginning blood boiled in his body, burning his vitality as he was using his top powers of the Space, Star, and Life to attack the black hole.
Meanwhile, Zi Yao didn’t miss a beat either.
At the moment Shi Yan moved, her seven-colored jade-like snake body suddenly diverged into twelve jets of light, like twelve meteors crossing the eternal universe, shelling the black hole.
An earth-shaking energy emitted from the black hole. At this moment, the void here twisted visibly as if the space couldn’t take it anymore.
Pfffft!
The black hole looked like a pressed rubber ball that had already been deformed; it couldn’t endure such a powerful attack. After a strange noise, the black hole shattered into billions of shadows, scattering in different directions.
Each black shadow had Devour’s aura, dark and sinister.
“Muahahahaha!”
Billions of shadows sneered coldly and maliciously. As Shi Yan and Zi Yao felt strange, a shadow entered the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin not far from them.
After the black hole dispersed, the shadows shot out disorderedly. However, right now, they seemed to find their resting place as they crazily stormed toward the Power Upanishad Origin, jumping into it one by one.
“I’ve risked my life to endure that attack. It hurts, but I finally have the chance to get into the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin. With your clone’s power, how can you resist me? After I’ve fused with the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin, I will eat your clone to reunite my Devouring power Upanishad. In this world, in this vast sea of stars, who can defeat me then?”
Devour’s dark laughter came from the shadows as they swarmed toward the Power Upanishad Origin like a murder of crows.
The black hole took them all in.
Shi Yan paled, and Zi Yao screamed in fear, “Not good! He’s tricked us! It’s gonna be very bad!”
Devour urged all of his power to create the black hole that could swallow and absorb all creatures, pulling Cantecie’s soul altar. Shi Yan had assumed that after Devour had swallowed Cantecie, he must need time to refine her energy, which would leave his body defenseless for a while.
Shi Yan and Zi Yao understood this disadvantage of the Devouring power Upanishad. They thought that they had gotten this chance to hit him hard while he was refining Cantecie.
And they actually did that.
Unfortunately, after taking in Cantecie’s soul altar, Devour had just pretended to refine her. He didn’t use the Devouring power Upanishad to take her energy in hurriedly.
Quite the contrary, he had gathered all of his strength, waiting for Shi Yan and Zi Yao to attack him. He endured that attack and seized the chance while the other two didn’t notice the Power Upanishad Origin to divide his soul into millions of wisps using the Soul Control power Upanishad. Then, all of his soul clones dashed toward the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin at their fastest speed.
Currently, all clones of his had entered the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin, and he could reunite his real body there.
Devour was the ancestor of evil power Upanishads, and he was born with the seals of Devouring and the eight evil powers. He had cultivated this Power Upanishad for billions of years and studied it to the utmost level. At his realm and power, he wouldn’t worry when he got into the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin and vied for it with Shi Yan’s clone.
“If Devour gets the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin and swallows your clone, he will have the ultimate Devouring power Upanishad. In this world, I’m afraid not many people can defeat him then.” Zi Yao pulled a stern face. “If Desolate has to face him without a Power Upanishad Origin, I’m not sure even he can win. And I, as I spent time to watch out here, haven’t found my suitable Power Upanishad Origin yet. I know I can’t defeat him. It’s...getting very dangerous!”
Shi Yan’s eyes were dark and ruthless. While Zi Yao was talking, his Absolute Beginning body shrank, returning to his human form.
He had to force himself to stay mindful. After a while, his eyes brightened up. “It’s not that we don’t have a chance! After receiving our hit, his soul and power were hurt. My soul clone got into the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin first, so it as the upper hand now. I think it’s not sure that we will be completely defeated.”
Taking a deep breath, he shouted, “I don’t need you to help me here. You should go find your suitable Power Upanishad Origin. My real body won’t stay here for a long time. My soul clone will try its best to cope with him. Although we can’t win, I will try to slow his fusion process. My real body will come to the sea of life over there, and I will take the Life Power Upanishad Origin. When I get it, and even if the clone fails, I’ll be strong enough to fight him once!”
As they couldn’t do anything here, their situation wouldn’t be good if they both continued to linger.
They would be better splitting up and making themselves stronger before Devour could obtain the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin. If they got the suitable Power Upanishad Origin, even if Devour succeeded to kill Shi Yan’s clone, Shi Yan still had a chance to overturn the situation.
It was their wisest decision!
Zi Yao wasn’t dumb. Listening to Shi Yan, she nodded and left resolutely, not lingering for even a second.
Shi Yan got a hold of himself and connected with the clone, finding that the latter was still running toward the source of endless evil darkness inside the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin. Devour hadn’t caught him yet. However, at this moment, so many evil auras and sinister ideas from the inner worlds of countless creatures in the territories still rolled toward his clone.
This clone of his was drowned in fierce energy, and it was getting stronger after each second!
It was not that his clone couldn’t battle Devour for even a second!
Pondering for a while, Shi Yan’s real body decided to leave toward the sea of life at his max speed. He decided to divide into two flows to take action.
Zi Yao and Shi Yan had left, but his clone stayed inside the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin, falling into the perpetual darkness. While falling, the clone’s acupuncture points opened, connecting to different territories to gather all the evilness into his body.
His clone soul followed his wish, urging the Devouring power Upanishad, frantically and taking in everything.
He could feel his clone, his soul, his soul altar, and the eight evil powers showing their strengths!
The Devouring Power Upanishad Origin was like an endless black hole that could connect all territories in this cosmos to the source of evil. After Shi Yan had gotten in there, he was rolled with the flow inside a tunnel. From that moment, the evil thoughts of countless creatures had begun to cover him, hitting his soul and body deeply.
However, after he was pulled deeper into the tunnel, all the evil energies and negative emotions disappeared wherever he passed.
He had absorbed them into his body and soul.
This tunnel seemed not to have an end, and he had just traveled a short distance. However, there was no energy left to be absorbed in the areas he had already passed...
The ink-black shadows had come and congregated into one entity at the entrance of the tunnel: it was Devour. As soon as he got in, he tried his best to urge the Devouring Power Upanishad and swallow all the negative emotions and evil thoughts of creatures in other territories. It was how he strengthened himself, entering the core of evilness.
However, he was dumbstruck as he found not even a single beam of energy he could absorb in this entrance.
Devour wasn’t dumb, and he even had pieces of vague memory about this place. He hovered for a while and he got the reason shortly after.
“NOOOO!”
Devour screamed ear-piercingly, thrusting deeper through the dark tunnel as fast as he could.
He understood that every second he lingered here, Shi Yan’s clone was taking more energy to become stronger. The further Shi Yan got in this tunnel, the more energy he could take from the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin, and would be tougher to cope with.
If he let Shi Yan get to the deepest area inside the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin—the core of evil—to refine the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin, everything would be too late!
Devour had to move as fast as he could!
