Chapter 860: Chapter 855 Unusual Part 1

"Do you want to go, or should I go!?"

Shangqiu the Potter suddenly stopped and looked at the demon insect, Black Turtle.

"You go, Shangqiu, you have more substitutes compared to an old undying like me. You are more suited for this task."

Black Turtle chuckled.

"Your defense is far superior to mine; naturally, you should go first for something like this."

Shangqiu sneered.

Both of them were worried that there might be deadly traps around the Taoist Ancestor Origin.

Even though the Evil God King was undying, no one wanted to suddenly become weak without reason.

"Let’s go check it out first."

Shangqiu rose into the air, flying towards the sensed location.

Black Turtle followed closely behind.

They had little time and had to complete their predetermined objective in the shortest time possible.

After circling half the area of this space, the two soon saw the two masses of Taoist Ancestor Origin floating and playing in the air.

Unexpectedly, there were no defensive restrictions or anything around the Taoist Ancestor Origin. They were casually flying and running around.

"This..."

The more it was like this, the more the two of them felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

This was, after all, the core of Sherie the Divine Monarch’s body, where the most important heart core and divine soul were located. If there weren’t any defenses, nobody would believe it.

"We only have three hours."

Shangqiu reminded.

"One Vermilion Bird’s Spirit, you go." Black Turtle thought for a moment before speaking.

Shangqiu considered for a moment.

"I want two."

"Agreed." Black Turtle quickly agreed, making Shangqiu feel somewhat undervalued.

But since an agreement had been made, she focused intently on the two masses of Taoist Ancestor Origin, her gaze flashing a hint of red.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a white figure shot out from behind her, heading straight for the Taoist Ancestor Origin.

The white figure revealed itself in the air, remarkably appearing as a white clothes and white dress human-shaped doll, only palm-sized, looking extremely cute, making cooing sounds.

This was Shangqiu the Potter’s innate divine ability, moulded clay.

She could create one hundred and eight substitutes of various sizes out of clay, her divine soul could freely traverse and switch between them.

If one body broke, she could always switch to another.

Moreover, each body could fully exert Shangqiu’s complete strength, as long as the clay bodies didn’t all die, she wouldn’t die either.

This was the most terrifying part.

The two Evil God Kings watched intently as the white clay doll flew out, quickly approaching the Taoist Ancestor Origin.

Then...

The clay doll lightly extended its arms and grabbed them.

Unexpectedly, the two masses of Taoist Ancestor Origin were effortlessly caught without any resistance.

"This!?"

Shangqiu was dumbfounded.

Black Turtle was also stunned.

Both of them had rehearsed numerous schemes in their minds, but they never anticipated that they would encounter no issues whatsoever.

Could it really be this easy to get the Taoist Ancestor Origin?

Shangqiu couldn’t believe it, reached out and beckoned the clay doll, in an instant, the white shadow flashed.

The clay doll holding the two masses of Taoist Ancestor Origin flew back, landing on her right shoulder to sit.

The two masses of Taoist Ancestor Origin easily fell into Shangqiu’s hands.

"Is it... really this... done???"

Black Turtle watched with wide eyes, unable to believe it was this simple.

No traps, no obstacles, not even an alarm formation. It was like an unlocked safe, completely unguarded.

Black Turtle felt he had been tricked into agreeing with the two Vermilion Bird’s Spirits...

If he had known it was this easy, he would have done it himself.

But now it was too late to regret.

"Are you sure this is the Taoist Ancestor Origin and not a fake?" he asked.

Shangqiu was also doubtful, but after inspecting, she found no sign of falsity.

The results showed these were indeed genuine Taoist Ancestor Origin without any impurities.

"This...."

Lin Yi, who had followed silently behind, was also at a loss for words seeing this.

"Since it’s real, quickly put it away to avoid being spotted."

He promptly reminded from a distance.

"Let’s complete the final task and then quickly withdraw."

Black Turtle suggested.

Shangqiu nodded, put away the Taoist Ancestor Origin, and looked towards the large light mass in the center. Inside, a void shadow of an eight-armed man floated in and out of sight.

Swoosh....

The invisible air stream, mixed with the riotous divine power within, slowly gathered in the palm of her hand.

Shangqiu squinted her eyes, noting that the nearby demon insect Black Turtle was also gathering his divine power.

His entire body was covered in countless black flies, black gas swirling out, emitting an awful stench.

"Let’s strike together, ensure to kill in one blow!"

She said aloud.

"Agreed!" Black Turtle nodded.

Both slowly raised their hands.

"Who goes there!!!?"

Suddenly, a ferocious and massive shock surged from behind the three.

An icy male voice boomed from the rear.

Following the voice was a vast, mysterious aura as vast as the starry sky.

"Universal Heavenly Venerable!!"

Lin Yi was the first to react, turning to see a man of average height floating in mid-air, staring at them coldly.

"I’ll hold him off! You strike and destroy the Heart Core of Sherie the Divine Monarch!"

Shangqiu shifted positions, placing herself behind Black Turtle.

The palm force she had already gathered flared up with purple light, countless spikes of purple light faintly emerging.

"Understood!!" The demon insect Black Turtle nodded fiercely, continuing to build up force, determined to destroy the heart core and soul in one strike.

"Don’t bet on it!!"

Universal Heavenly Venerable’s eyes glinted sharply, and white flames burst out around him.

Whoosh!!

A pair of enormous translucent wings unfurled behind him, seemingly formed from countless sentient thoughts, each feather shimmering with faint colors yet crystal clear.

The wings were so vast that their ends extended into the unseen void, possibly connecting other spaces.

"Crimson Sea·Curse Extreme Fist!!"

He raised both fists, bringing up countless white flames. The surrounding void seemed to focus countless translucent multicolored feathers that converged onto his right fist.

He launched a punch forward!!

Boom!!!

The Heart Core Space trembled; this was Lin Xin’s most secure area, extremely sturdy, and ultimately did not shatter.

But the power of this punch materialized into a white light arrow, in the blink of an eye shooting towards Shangqiu the Potter.

"Nine Fissures of the Illusory Heart!!"

Nine clay substitutes suddenly flew out from behind Shangqiu, converging rapidly before her, then all cracked simultaneously, releasing streams of a transparent, water-like viscous liquid.

All the liquid converged into her right palm.

Boom!!!

She struck out a palm.

With this strike, she sacrificed nine substitutes, forcibly raising its power to nine times her original strength!

This was a terrifying strike traded with nine lives!

An irrevocable blow!

"Die!!!! Aaaaaah!!!!!!!!"

Shangqiu’s face contorted as she swung her right palm, striking out with full force at the Universal Heavenly Venerable.

With madness in her eyes, all her palm force morphed into a vague purple serpent writhing in her palm, surging towards the opponent.

The palm force flew rapidly, emitting a terrifying screech.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!"

A minute passed.....

"Aaaaaah!!"

Two minutes passed.....

"Aaaaaah!!"

Ten minutes passed...

"Aaaaah!!"

An hour passed.

"Aaaah...." Shangqiu the Potter watched as the purple in her palm slowly faded, until the last bit of light extinguished like a candle flame.

She was completely silent, still holding the striking pose, looking at the opposing Universal Heavenly Venerable who had likewise struck out, her previous fervor exhausted, unable to even shout.

Over an hour, the distance between them, less than a spirit mile, had not been crossed.

The palm and fist forces had both dissipated, unable to maintain their original forms.

"What is this!?"

Both Universal Heavenly Venerable and Shangqiu had long sensed something was wrong, searching for the source of the anomaly.

Was it a trap of deceptive space?

Illusions or mirages?

None could be true; to beings who could shatter space like them, such tricks were child’s play.

But no matter their probing, they couldn’t find the cause of the strange space in between.

"Never mind! Destroy the heart core and soul, and everything will surely return to normal!" Shangqiu realized something was off.

She turned around, only to see Black Turtle standing silently as if lost in thought.

"Black Turtle! Strike!!"

Disregarding everything, she gathered all her divine power once more, fiercely striking out with another palm of purple light.

Boom!!!!

The purple palm force turned into a flying serpent, fiercely rushing towards the heart core and soul in the center.

But the purple light, under everyone’s eyes, flew swiftly, seemingly fast, but it couldn’t approach the heart core and soul.

"This!?" Shangqiu felt a shiver in her heart, realizing something was wrong.

Black Turtle’s face turned grave.

"I’ve tried thirty-nine different secret techniques, none could get within a hundred meters of the heart core!"

"Impossible!!"

The Trickster King possessing Lin Yi cried out shrilly.

"Time isn’t up yet; Lin Sherie couldn’t have noticed us!"

"Could it be a pre-set trap!?"

This thought flashed across everyone’s minds.

"Never mind, even getting the Taoist Ancestor Origin is worth it! Let’s go!"

Shangqiu decisively knew it was pointless, turned into a purple light, and shot out.

The other two followed suit, turning into fleeing lights and shooting away.

"Trying to run?"

Universal Heavenly Venerable flapped his wings harshly, ready to strike.

Suddenly, he stopped, somewhat speechlessly watching the three in front.

Shangqiu and the others flew rapidly!

The wind around them rippled their fleeing lights slightly.

In the halo, one could see their clothes and skin being pulled into waves by the rapid energy flow.

At such a speed, even Universal Heavenly Venerable felt amazed.

He thought it would be extremely difficult to reach such a speed; only fearsome beings like Evil God Kings with terrifying bodies dared to fly like that.

But no matter how fast they flew...

Their positions from start to finish hadn’t moved an inch!!
