Chapter 764: Chapter 754: Strength Promotion

The strength of the Cicada Ancestor and Maya Mi was immense, and even with the efficiency of the Sanctuary, absorbing it was quite time-consuming.

After continuously absorbing for an hour, Wen Wen only felt a noticeable weakening in their strength; draining them completely would be a lengthy task.

If it weren’t for a series of fortuitous coincidences, it would have been impossible to have two Catastrophe-Level Experts at Wen Wen’s mercy to absorb their energy.

So no matter what they said, Wen Wen would not let them go.

A duck that comes to your mouth, even if it wants to fly, has to leave its meat behind!

After Wen Wen had been absorbing for half a day, the Cicada Ancestor fell into a deep sleep; while it was sleeping, the speed at which Wen Wen absorbed its energy would slow down, an unavoidable situation.

During the time that Maya Mi and the Cicada Ancestor were trapped within the massive energy shield, the mutated creatures and cicadas lost control and began to wreak havoc indiscriminately.

This put both the Demon Hunters and the people of Glory Church in a state of constant busyness.

However, this kind of busyness was much more manageable than before; these creatures were troublesome, but they would no longer increase in number, and they scattered like headless flies, making the cleanup much easier than before.

After several days of relentless battle, these monsters had been largely exterminated, and some had died on their own due to a lack of energy supply.

The Demon Hunters did not let their guard down as the culprits behind the incident, those two Catastrophe-Level monsters, were still alive and well, and there could be another disaster when they awoke.

Charlie had been guarding outside the shield all this time, attempting dozens of methods to break in without success, but he continued to stand guard nonetheless.

Glory Church had paid a huge price to transform the Cicada Ancestor into a Creature of Light, so how could they just ignore it?

Two thousand years— who knows how Glory Church managed to get through them?

And although the Cross was reclaimed, the seven nails that fell from it were also valuable, not to be neglected and left unattended.

Xun Ying had left only a sword here so that he could be aware of the situation at any time, and then he returned to Xihong City to recuperate. Since emerging from Ghost City, he had been operating at overcapacity.

Now was the perfect time to cultivate and gather strength; otherwise, there could be trouble when the true body of the Capital Feng Ghost God awoke.

Wu Liugen disappeared right after the battle that day, his whereabouts unknown to everyone.

However, two days before, a treasury of Glory Church’s headquarters was raided and left empty.

That treasury contained treasures from other churches that Glory Church had ’collected’ over thousands of years.

And then, after that, the Capital Hunter Association and the Buddhism in the south of the Capital signed a friendly mutual aid agreement.

The Capital Association provided many convenient measures for Buddhism, and in return, Buddhism reciprocated with many strange and historically significant religious treasures...

Oh, and Buddhism also placed an order with the Hunters Association.

The order was for a series of "Buddha Says" munitions, and a Bodhisattva wielding a Gatling gun quietly appeared in a Buddhist monastery in the south of the Capital...

...

Boom!

Black energy condensed into a whirlwind around Wen Wen’s body, spinning faster and faster before finally returning into Wen Wen’s body.

Wen Wen had ascended to the Upper Order Realm!

It was already the sixth day since Wen Wen had started absorbing the energies of two Catastrophe-Level beings. The constant flow of massive amounts of energy through his body purified his inner strength non-stop and made his body increasingly tough, until he finally broke through the barrier of strength and entered a new realm.

Maya Mi was completely drained by Wen Wen yesterday and turned into a small baby that kept crying with snot running down, having one black and one white wing.

As strength slipped away, the sequelae from when Maya Mi lost two pieces of its brain began to show; not only had its power diminished, but it also became mentally deficient...

Yes, genuinely mentally deficient.

However, its body was, after all, once of Catastrophe-Level, so if it really came to fighting, this little imbecile was still quite strong. It could easily tear apart a Mid-Tier Superhuman by hand, and an Upper-Tier might not be able to beat him unless they knew the little guy’s background.

Wen Wen felt sorry for him, so he didn’t drain him to a ’Primitive State’.

As for the Cicada Ancestor...

The Cicada Ancestor, being on a higher level than the average Catastrophe-Level being, had so far only lost two wings, still retaining its Catastrophe-Level strength.

But as the Sanctuary continued its absorption, the Cicada Ancestor estimated that it could only hold on for a few more days.

By the time Maya Mi was drained, the Catastrophe Zone of the Sanctuary had already opened up, but Wen Wen had not found the time to go back and check it out.

Now that Maya Mi had regressed to such an extent and could no longer restrain them, the Cicada Ancestor would have been freed from its current state long ago had Wen Wen not maintained the status of absorbing energy.

Two more days passed, and the Cicada Ancestor’s seventh and eighth wings began to turn ethereal, signaling their impending disappearance. Once they were gone, the Cicada Ancestor’s power would fall from the Catastrophe Level.

Just then, Wen Wen suddenly stopped, drew the Blood River Sword, and cut several cubic meters of flesh from the Cicada Ancestor, spilling several large buckets of blood.

He then inserted the Blood River Sword into the Cicada Ancestor’s body to let it absorb the Cicada Ancestor’s flesh and blood as much as possible.

Wen Wen roughly estimated that in an hour at most, the Cicada Ancestor would regain some mobility; therefore, Wen Wen had to prepare everything within half an hour.

He immediately flew out from the body of the Cicada Ancestor, landing on a gigantic nail. Chains were released from his hands, and then the huge nail slowly shrank, being put away into the Sanctuary by Wen Wen.

Charlie, who was outside, almost popped his eyes out at this sight.

He had been heartbroken when he saw the Cicada Ancestor lose two wings, and now this guy inside intended to take all of those nails as well...

This was bullying, definitely bullying!

Wen Wen was like a busy little bee, moving from one nail to the next, until he had collected all seven nails into the Sanctuary.

The seven nails held great power, and Wen Wen planned to hand them over to Red Beard to be remade into new Throwing Spears.

Nails that could seal the Cicada Ancestor, if stuck into an ordinary enemy’s body, would surely have a wonderful effect.

After all seven nails were collected, the part of the sea that was previously immobilized returned to normal. Fish in the water floated up to the surface one by one, and the sea was littered with fish corpses everywhere.

Such a long period of containment and the clash of Catastrophe-Level forces had nearly wiped out all life in this sector of the sea, probably making it hard for nearby fishermen to catch fish in the future.

The Cicada Ancestor, previously lying on the sea’s surface, now had half of its body sinking into the sea bed.

Sea water entered its body through the wound at its tail, causing the Cicada Ancestor to shiver once again.

After being killed by the Thousand-Year Kill, then wounded by a dark arrow, and now having saltwater poured into its wounds—it was truly a most pitiable fate.
