Chapter 836
Sacrificing a Demigod
Ten seconds pass in the blink of an eye.
The fluctuations of the laws surrounding Xiao Cang became increasingly violent, reaching the limit that he could bear.
The slender trunk trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment, and the spatial patterns on the leaves were dazzlingly bright, like burning blue sparks.
Dense spatial ripples spread outwards in layers, distorting the surrounding air into eerie arcs wherever they passed.
The primal power of the Illusory Heaven within its body surged wildly, flowing along the patterns, and every leaf shone with extreme brilliance.
next moment.
The immense fluctuations of the laws suddenly condensed, then erupted with a deafening roar—
The exclusive secret technique of the demigod level—hyperspace jump—has finally been officially activated at this moment!
"Crack-!"
A powerful, vast sound suddenly arose, not the roar of the sea, but the sound of millions of tiny white leaves of the small sea trembling and rubbing together in unison.
The sound of the tide swept through every corner of Mega World, drowning out the sacred hymns that filled the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a seemingly plain, pale green leaf drifted out from the top of Xiao Cang's trunk.
Yang Fan's eyes narrowed suddenly.
Despite being a high-ranking Venerable, he was unable to discern the true trajectory of this seemingly ordinary leaf.
The leaf seemed both so close, almost within reach, and yet also as if it were a distant expanse of space, billions of kilometers away.
The interplay of reality and illusion, elusive and unpredictable.
Even if one uses the laws of time to trace its aura, one can only sense a deep spatial ripple and cannot see its true nature at all.
But Yang Fan knew the answer without even asking—this must be the original world left behind by the demigod Huanluotian.
It is not an ordinary leaf, but a manifestation of the powerful spatial laws of the Illusory Heaven.
By the standards of rare materials commonly used in the original world, this primordial world's leaves have already far surpassed the peak level of level seven rare materials.
Even if they haven't truly reached the threshold of level eight extraordinary materials, they are not far off.
It should be noted that in the original world, level seven rare materials were already treasures that Venerable-level powerhouses fought over.
Materials of grade eight or above are no longer considered ordinary materials, but are instead called "divine materials".
As thoughts raced, the unexpected change occurred in the next second.
The emerald green light that had surged around Xiao Cang receded rapidly like a tide, and the lustrous sheen of the tree trunk dimmed somewhat.
The primordial world leaf floating in the air suddenly burst forth with dazzling azure light, and with a sway, it transformed into a clear azure stream of light, so fast that it broke through the shackles of time and space.
Wherever the streak of light passed, the space between heaven and earth was distorted in an unusually terrifying way.
The once clear and azure sky was torn apart by fine and deep dark marks, within which turbulent spatial currents surged.
Below, in the clear ocean, trillions upon trillions of tons of seawater vanished into thin air, leaving behind a trench over a thousand kilometers long and several kilometers wide on the surface.
"Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by countless thunderous roars, the surrounding seawater began to fill the gullies, and giant waves thousands of meters high appeared on the sea surface.
Almost at the same time.
The Time Ring space, which was bound by both the ancient god's soul and Mika's divine power, suddenly trembled violently.
The black energy that had been suppressed was now like a ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles, surging out wildly and condensing into a sky full of black mist that rolled and roared around the space, turning the entire airspace black.
A furious roar erupted from the chaotic space of the Time Ring: "Damn ants!"
Clearly, this high and mighty demigod has finally realized the impending deadly crisis.
He could feel his own domain of laws being pulled by the power of space, he could sense that the space of the Ring of Time was being forcibly dragged, and he could also feel the spatial origin aura that he was extremely wary of.
Even at this critical juncture of life and death, Saru still couldn't let go of his deep-rooted arrogance, and kept using contemptuous terms to refer to Yang Fan, Xiao Cang, and the others.
In the blink of an eye.
A mind-blowing change suddenly unfolded before Yang Fan and An Jiafeina's eyes.
Centered on the spatial domain where the Ring of Time is located, the space within a radius of one thousand kilometers is as if it has been gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and begins to collapse and cave inwards.
The once flat airspace became distorted and the light and shadow were compressed into a strange bright line, eventually condensing into a huge, funnel-shaped spatial vortex.
The funnel's upper opening was incredibly wide, covering the entire space where the Ring of Time was located, while its lower opening was slender and sharp, pointing directly into the depths of the void. Violent spatial turbulence roared and swirled within the funnel, emitting a piercing shriek.
From a distance, it looks like a giant beast lurking in the sky, opening its massive jaws to devour everything.
Even someone as strong as Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine after witnessing this scene.
On the other hand, as the controller of the laws of space, he also gained a great deal from witnessing a higher level of powerful laws.
A few moments later.
A wisp of pale blue light, thinner than a hair, suddenly descended from the depths of the void and pierced the core of the "funnel" with unparalleled precision.
In that instant, the entire dark spatial funnel was completely bathed in a pale blue light.
Then, something even more unbelievable happened.
The enormous "funnel," stained with pale blue light threads, began to rapidly peel away from the world of Mega World in a way that was beyond everyone's comprehension.
That's right, it's stripping!
It wasn't destruction, nor was it relocation; rather, it was as if a piece of cloth had been forcibly cut from a complete piece of fabric, completely stripping this thousand-kilometer-wide airspace from the spatial map of the Mega World.
Such a heaven-defying feat is a world-shaking achievement that can only be barely accomplished with a semi-mystical technique of the "hyperspace jump" level.
As Yang Fan and An Jiafeina stared in disbelief, the "funnel" began to shrink rapidly.
However, this so-called "shrinkage" is not a true reduction in volume, but merely a strange visual change.
In reality, it is moving away from the world of Meijia at a speed that transcends time and space; it is the ultimate distance in terms of spatial scale, as if it is being pulled into another distant void dimension.
Just then.
The roar of the demigod Saru once again came from the funnel.
This time, the voice lacked its usual arrogance and rage, replaced only by overwhelming fear and despair: "Huan Luotian, weren't you already fallen?! How can you still possess the power to remain in this world..."
It was clear that the demigod Saru had recognized that the powerful spatial force, strong enough to suppress him, came from the World Tree, Huanluotian, who was once also a demigod.
He simply couldn't believe that even though Huanluotian had fallen decades ago, such immense primordial power still remained, enough to set up such a deadly trap.
But before he could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt halt.
The "funnel" had shrunk to the size of a pinhead, flickered slightly, and then disappeared from the sky above the Mega World.
The airspace that was originally occupied by the funnel is now just a blank void.
The blank space is devoid of light and shadow, air currents, and even the slightest spatial fluctuation, like an invisible scar on the sky.
It stands out starkly against the surrounding illusory waves and dazzling bands of light, appearing particularly eerie and glaring.
Xiao Cang gently shook the drooping leaves, her voice tinged with undisguised weariness: "The deeper space there was forcibly torn apart by the power of hyperspace jump, leaving a spatial scar. "But don't worry, it will slowly heal over time. According to the time flow of the Mika world, it will be completely healed in about two years."
"Will the spatial scars harm the Mika world?" Anjafina's eyes were full of worry.
As a venerable being who possesses the power of precognition, she could immediately see the terror of the spatial scars.
Any creature that gets close, regardless of its strength, will be swallowed up by the spatial turbulence remaining in the scar, and eventually turn into eternal nothingness.
Xiao Cang explained, "The scars will generate very strong winds that will affect the climate of the entire Miga world in the short term. However, the Miga people have lived underwater for generations, and the deep sea provides a barrier, so these strong winds will not have a significant impact on you."
Anjafina breathed a sigh of relief.
She bowed slightly to Xiao Cang, her tone respectful and sincere: "Mr. Xiao Cang, thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Cang replied, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."
Its tone lowered again: "When I activated the power of the Mother Tree just now, I sensed the demigod Saru, who also participated in the siege of the Mother Tree back then."
It paused, then added, "In the battle where the mother tree fell, the enemy deployed a total of four demigod-level powerhouses."
Yang Fan sighed and said in an extremely serious tone, "We will definitely settle accounts with these demigods one by one, and we will not let any of them go. Demigod Saru is just the beginning."
Xiao Cang gave a firm "Mmm": "I believe you!"
It witnessed firsthand how Yang Fan calmly laid out his plans, gradually pushing the demigod Saru to the brink of despair, so it had no reason not to believe these words.
Yang Fan nodded slightly: "Let's go! Let's send the demigod Saru off on his final journey."
He then turned to look at Anjafina: "I've stayed in the Miga Civilization for so long, and now that the crisis has temporarily subsided, I think it's time for me to leave."
Saru, who was sent away by hyperspace jump, has not completely perished. He must rush over immediately and finish off Saru.
The High Priest bowed solemnly to Yang Fan: "Your Majesty, from this day forward, the people of Meijia will forever await your summons!"
Yang Fan smiled and didn't say anything more.
The person and the tree quickly blurred and became transparent, accompanied by a subtle spatial fluctuation, before completely disappearing from the sky above the Mega World.
Anjafina stood silently in mid-air, watching Yang Fan and Xiao Cang's figures disappear completely.
She turned to look at her disciple Lin Yuejia, who was still unconscious beside her, and finally sighed with regret.
She had secretly planned to have something happen between Mika and His Majesty the Savior, but unfortunately His Majesty left too quickly.
-
The original world.
The hidden realm of the sunken sand abyss.
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
A series of thunderous booms resounded, and the Gobi Desert trembled slightly.
A super sandstorm, powerful enough to affect the entire Lost Sand Abyss Secret Realm, is at its peak of devastation.
The sandstorm, which blotted out the sky, was like a raging beast, and the howling wind was like the wailing of ghosts, plunging the entire secret realm into chaos and rage.
Just as Xiao Cang activated his demigod power to perform a hyperspace jump.
The already violent and raging secret realm suddenly erupted with even more earth-shattering phenomena.
"Om-!"
A deep and resonant hum came from the deepest part of the secret realm.
The Gobi Desert, which was originally flat and without any undulations and covered with black stone carvings, began to tremble violently.
The ground is rising and sinking at a visible speed, with cracks spreading wildly like a spider web.
"Click! Click! Click!"
A series of crisp, ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out as the fissures in the earth continued to expand, and countless illusory blood snakes, glowing with an eerie crimson light, surged wildly out of the fissures.
They seemed completely unaffected by the super sandstorm, swarming into the sky like a raging torrent of blood, sweeping away the murderous aura.
In just a few breaths.
Hundreds of millions of blood snakes gathered in the sky above the secret realm, intertwining and entwining each other, eventually forming a super-giant archway with a diameter of two hundred kilometers.
Countless twisted and pained faces slowly emerged. Some of these faces were ferocious, some were desperate, and some were howling. They were all the souls of powerful beings who had fallen in the abyss of despair.
Within a radius of thousands of kilometers, the sandstorm that blotted out the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and mysteriously disappeared into thin air.
The originally hazy, yellowish sky was gradually enveloped by a soft yet heavy layer of hazy yellow light, like a frozen dusk, enveloping the blood-red archway.
This is the colossal divine weapon—Twilight Gate—that Yang Fan gathered together from numerous Venerables of various world groups to build deep within the secret realm.
He had previously tested opening the Twilight Gate once in the Sands of Death, and by merely activating a sliver of its power, he easily crushed and killed the Arbitrator of the Shadow Temple, Sallit.
From the very beginning, this Twilight Gate was a deadly trap specifically designed for the demigod Saru.
This moment.
The Heavenly Gate at Dusk has opened to its full power!
Soon, the airspace in the very center of the Heavenly Gate began to distort in an extremely bizarre way.
The stable space was forcibly torn apart, and a pitch-black inverted "funnel" quickly appeared and solidified in the center of the Heavenly Gate.
Only the power of hyperspace jump at the demigod level can forcefully penetrate the barrier of the secret realm and accurately send a demigod powerhouse into the secret realm.
The next moment, a roar filled with extreme rage, yet tinged with disbelief, boomed from the dark "funnel": "Despicable ants!"
As a veteran demigod, Saru instantly understood the true nature of the Abyss of Despair the moment he stepped into the secret realm.
He could clearly sense the aura of the fallen ancient gods permeating the air, and he could also perceive a terrifying will awakening, coveting him.
He finally realized that he had not been simply transferred, but had fallen into a deadly trap set by ants.
at the same time.
In the void above the Heavenly Gate at dusk, a tall and imposing figure slowly emerged.
Yang Fan looked up and uttered words that sounded like thunder: "'Eye', I have delivered the offering to you as agreed."
Above the sky, a blinding black light suddenly flashed, and an enormous black eyeball appeared out of thin air in the void directly above the Heavenly Gate.
This eyeball is hundreds of kilometers in diameter, completely black like an abyss, with no whites, only a single, vertically elongated scarlet pupil.
The eyeballs were tightly enveloped by a thick, asphalt-like black mist, within which countless tiny black tentacles could be vaguely seen slowly wriggling.
Each wriggling movement of the tentacles caused a slight tremor in the surrounding space, which looked extremely terrifying.
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of Saru, slowly spread from his eyeballs.
This is the concrete form of the consciousness descending from the Abyss of Despair—the Eye of the Abyss.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Yang Fan had actually found a way to communicate with the consciousness of the secret realm, and even made a pact with this mysterious and unpredictable Eye of the Secret Realm, with the demigod Saru as a sacrifice. (End of Chapter)
