Chapter 744: Chapter 442: The Nemesis Begins to Show

“If this keeps up, we’ll both die!”

In the depths of the cave, Thunder Roc Ancestor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood-colored crystal dregs, while lifting his head expressionlessly to look at Yama and Sneaky Youth, having already transmitted his thoughts secretly to them.

“Hmph, having contracted the Crystalization Disease, we are bound to die sooner or later, and dying later is still better than dying sooner!”

Yama coldly transmitted back, his withered, dark-brown face showing not a trace of emotion.

At this moment, his eyeballs had already completely crystalized and fallen from their sockets, leaving behind eye cavities filled with a layer of fine crystal clusters.

“These days, we have racked our brains but still haven’t found a way to curb the erosion of crystalization. Except for… the Antibacterial Pill!” Sneaky Youth He Tai said despondently, his Divine Thought filled with a defeated spirit.

Thunder Roc Ancestor’s eyes were fierce as he immediately transmitted his thoughts, “That person doesn’t care whether we live or die, instead, he relentlessly urges us to meet our deaths. If this continues, our death is certain. There are many divine doctors and holy healers in both realms, I don’t believe we can’t find one that can treat us. But… he will never let us leave, unless he dies!”

“Heh heh! You all are simply delusional. The master has the ability of Instantaneous Movement; with just you few mediocre beings, how could you possibly deliver a fatal strike!”

The sudden transmission of Divine Thought made Thunder Roc, Yama, and He Tai start in unison, and then their hearts overflowed with joy.

“Xian Kong, weren’t you happily being a lackey? What, aren’t you pretending anymore?”

A streak of golden light pierced through the darkness, landing next to the three, revealing the figure of Xian Kong Ancestor.

At this time, Xian Kong’s hands, feet, and face were also covered with sparse crystal clusters, but his physical condition was obviously much better than that of the three.

He looked at them with disdain, taunting, “As long as the master lives, this Ancestor remains ‘loyal and devoted’. What is there to pretend?”

“Hmph, is that so, you want to turn us in?” Thunder Roc Ancestor fixed his eagle eyes filled with fierceness on Xian Kong Ancestor not far away.

“Hehe, not only this Ancestor but even the master himself is well aware of your thoughts. However, from the beginning to the end, has the master ever cared?” Xian Kong Ancestor disdainfully said, “I advise all of you to give up! It’s better to focus on serious matters. The sooner we eradicate that strain of Void Devil Fungus, the sooner we will be freed. Perhaps our chance for survival lies there.”

“Hmph, you saw the power of that thing yourself. With our strength, how can we possibly kill it! I’m afraid we will all be dead and still not harm the Devil Fungus at all.” He Tai Ancestor’s face looked extremely ugly, obviously pessimistic about the future.

“If it’s death either way, why not–”

His voice was cut off midway when Yama suddenly stopped speaking.

At that moment, Zhao Sheng slowly walked out from the darkness, came amid the group, and coldly ordered, “Move out!”

After finishing his words, he suddenly disappeared from in front of them.

Seeing this, Yama, Thunder Roc, and the others looked at each other speechlessly.

…

In the Seven Star Spirit Realm, located at the center, Bright Star shined like the Sun, illuminating the entire Seven Star Spirit Realm.

Zhao Sheng and six others, surrounded by Magic Light, hovered in the Void, overlooking the Spirit Realm below them.

At that moment, within the Spirit Realm, fragments of dead bodies and remains floated densely in the air.

Large numbers of oddly shaped crystalized demon corpses filled the entire Spirit Realm, but in both quantity and quality, they were far less than the remains of the Demon Stingrays.

An uncountable number of Demon Stingray remains piled up like mountains in the Void, the flowing Devil Ray Blood even forming “Blood Lakes” that slowly drifted towards the central Dark Star.

The earlier army of Demon Stingrays had now sadly departed, not one remaining.

At that time, the meteorites within a thousand-mile radius at the outer edges of the Spirit Realm were utterly devastated, forming a thick band of interstellar dust thousands of miles wide.

Zhao Sheng gazed intently at that Dark Star, his brow deeply furrowed.

At that moment, the Dark Star seemed like a rotten apple covered in “fuzz,” dense Crystal Silk breaking through the surface and extending deep into the Void.

The Crystal Silk, like living beings, ceaselessly shuttled back and forth through the Void, connecting together.

Once they connected up massive amounts of remains, the Crystal Silk would take the harvest back to the Dark Star.

The surface of the Dark Star continuously churned, swallowing a massive number of remains every moment.

Moreover, the remains were eroded and digested at an extremely fast speed, rapidly transforming into Spiritual Power Crystals.

At that moment, Xian Kong Ancestor flew to Zhao Sheng’s side, somewhat excitedly transmitting his thoughts, “My lord, look at that Bright Star, something is definitely wrong there!”

Zhao Sheng nodded but remained silent.

In fact, he had already noticed the oddity of the Bright Star.

Dead bodies also covered the area around the Bright Star for three hundred miles, yet the pervasive Crystal Silk ignored it as if it dared not cross the three-hundred-mile boundary, seemingly fearful of the Bright Star.

This abnormal phenomenon left Zhao Sheng very puzzled.

“My lord, in my opinion, there must be something on that Bright Star that scares the Devil Fungus, otherwise those Crystal Silks wouldn’t avoid it from afar.”

“Xian Kong, you really do think too much. Such an obvious fact, couldn’t Tianqiong himself see it, or did he really need your reminder?”

At that moment, Daoist Ou Feng also flew up close, his face full of disdain, his words also laced with sarcasm.

Xian Kong, not wanting to offend Ou Feng, simply pretended not to hear and waited very respectfully for the master to speak.

Zhao Sheng overlooked the Seven Star Spirit Realm, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while, he suddenly spoke, “Let’s wait a little longer!”

Zhao Sheng’s words made everyone patiently wait for a long time.
