Apotheosis

The others were shocked at Cailen's orders, but they knew they had no other options.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

They didn't even have the time to think. If they stopped even for a second, death would come swiftly.

Obeying Cailen's orders, each warrior immediately summoned all their strength to flee in all directions.

Click!

Elizabeth caught the bottle eagerly.

She squeezed it with her bare hand, her fingernails digging into the glass until it shattered. It was only then that she realized the bottle was empty!

Immediately, she looked up, her brows creasing in fury. Yet, there was a strange beauty to her rage. "How dare you fool me," she said under her breath. Turning to look at the figures darting all over the land trying to escape, she cried, "You are all courting death!"

Phew!

She stretched out her massive wings, launching herself into the sky. With every flap, she seemed to shatter her surroundings, with cracks snaking their way around her.

The whole province was caught inside the Cage of Heaven and Earth which immobilized the Grand Teleportation. However, Elizabeth was no ordinary person; she could easily break the cage if she wanted to.

Since she was already using the Illusory Projection, she couldn't use the Grand Teleportation. However, she still had the Truth of Void Destruction, which granted her inhuman speed.

Crack!

As Elizabeth flew forward, cracks seemed to shatter the sky, resembling a spider's web. It was as though she were dancing on a fragile mirror, leaving hairline cracks wherever she touched.

"She's quick!"

Hearing the cracking noise, Cailen whipped his head around to see where it was coming from. His face turned pale.

Even though he had done his best, maximizing the power of his Other Shore Token in an attempt to flee, Elizabeth was gaining on him quickly. He knew she'd catch up to him in the blink of an eye.

His expression darkened as he glanced around him, desperate for a solution.

To his left, one of his younger brothers, Ruben Su, was speeding alongside him. To the right was Zen.

Without hesitating, he conjured two more bottles. "Catch these!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Using his remaining strength, he flung the bottles out towards the two.

Meanwhile, Zen was fo

y was, she knew he wouldn't be able to resist the divine flames for long.

Elizabeth flew towards Zen, observing him carefully.

Zen might have been aflame, but that didn't seem to slow him down.

In fact, it seemed he was picking up speed!

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. Not only was Zen unharmed by her divine flames, it was as though they were empowering him. In fact, when Bella found out about such an ability of his, she had been planning to capture him and take him to the Divine Lair for investigation.

Elizabeth couldn't help but smile faintly. This person had officially piqued her interest.

Even without using the divine flames, she could still easily kill Zen. Her cultivation had greatly weakened the second time she used the Illusory Projection, but she could still release thousands of divine megatons of force and easily tear Zen into pieces.

However, she wanted to see how Zen escaped. She knew he would definitely fail, but still she was curious.

While she followed him, another strange thing happened.

Zen's determination to shake off the Shade Stone seemed to manifest as whirlpools emerged from his body, sucking in the divine flames like a vacuum.

Because the Shade Stone had been burned by the Nine Edges Weapon Refining Array, it had become a sticky black mass. And now, under the influence of the divine flames, it melted into liquid on Zen's back, eventually sucked into the whirlpools.

When Zen collected his wits, he realized that the Shade Stone was nowhere to be found.
