Apotheosis

They retreated from the cave hurriedly and the Ear Mice soon followed.

For these Ear Mice to be in the Sanskrit Light Stage meant they too were powerful warriors of the Holy Soul Realm. However, their terror as they fled was clear. Zen realized the Ghost-claw Worms they spoke of should not be underestimated.

Whoosh!

As the Ear Mice escaped into the bone cavity, a dark black object suddenly came from behind them.

It looked like a snake, but its front end split into three, like a three-fingered ghost claw!

Crack!

The three fingers of the ghost claw suddenly stretched and slammed down heavily on the head of an Ear Mouse, its fingertips penetrating right into the poor creature's soul!

"No!"

The Ear Mouse let out a series of desperate screams as it was dragged back into the bone cave. Its distressing squeak could be heard a long while before it finally stopped. This must have meant that the Ear Mouse had been dragged a great distance away!

The other four Ear Mice could do nothing but watch helplessly as their companion was hauled away. Without missing a beat, they then escaped into another bone cave, swiftly moving on.

Zen and Libby followed the four Ear Mice into the bone cave.

Behind them, many black Ghost-claw Worms were swarming over, chasing after them blisteringly fast, so fast it seemed as if they were flying!

Zen glanced back as he ran and saw that they were not flying but crawling along the walls of the cave.

There were countless tiny feet on the limbs of the Ghost-claw Worms, similar to those of a centipede. Their feet moved fast and flowed like waves, advancing them along the wall at high speed!

"What the hell are these Ghost-claw Worms? Their heads look like a ghost claw, but their bodies are worms..." Zen asked sounding a little disgusted.

"I don't know. According to the documents, these creatures come from the outside world," answered Libby while she kept running hard.

"The outside world?" Zen was stunned.

"These bone caves are not completely closed off. Some parts of the bone joints are broken and creatures from the forbidden area outside break in," Libby revealed.

The bone joints Zen had observed were closed tightly, but apparently not all were this way. This gave the Other Shore creatures outside the

sword from her and strode out of the bone cave!

Buzz!

As the incredible power of the Civilization Artifact surged into his body, he slashed the sword forward. A beam of sword radiance containing tens of thousands of divine megatons of force gathered and shot out.

Puff!

The bodies of the Ghost-claw Worms were sliced like a bundle of hemp rope and left an opening for them to escape through.

The heads of the Ghost-claw Worms behind the Ear Mice all hissed in pain. Even when their bodies were cut, their heads remained alive and even quickened their speed.

Zen did not care what was happening behind him. He rushed forward with Libby, and the three Ear Mice followed closely behind them.

"Human friend, thank you very much!"

"Thank you for saving our lives!"

"My friend, you are on the Other Shore in your physical form. Are you Zen Luo from the Oneness Sky Palace?"

When the Ear Mice saw Zen offering his hand, they all made up their minds to follow closely behind him. In their eyes, he was the last life-saving straw they had. They were able to identify Zen quickly by his special form, as it was famous on the Other Shore.

"What the hell did you do to provoke these Ghost-claw Worms? Why do they keep chasing you like this?"

Libby asked, annoyed and impatient, before Zen could even answer their question.

They had just reached the Sanskrit Light Stage and were now stuck being chased incessantly by these worms. It was all the Ear Mice's fault and she made her indignation obvious to them.
