Apotheosis

After the battle against the Sun Crow race, the Oneness Sky Palace had immediately made plans and strategies in case other powerful races invaded them again.

Pearce, Auden, and the other elders also knew that things destined to happen would happen sooner or later.

Now, the core of all their plans was Zen.

The plan was to use the real Eastern Emperor Taiyi's energy soul inside Zen's body, to control the physical body of Eastern Emperor Taiyi. That way, the resulting power would be much stronger than that of their Eastern Emperor Taiyi himself.

Of course, the current Oneness Sky Palace didn't rely on Eastern Emperor Taiyi alone.

Not long ago, Fuxi and the Snake Goddess wanted to invite the powerful warriors of the Oneness Sky Palace to move to the Pear Hill temporarily when they visited the Oneness Sky Palace. Yet, Zen summoned Ziya, who had lived for over a thousand chaotic eras, to descend to the Source World. In turn, Ziya promised to guard the Oneness Sky Palace in time of danger.

Therefore, the Oneness Sky Palace felt assured.

In the eyes of Pearce and Auden, the Oneness Sky Palace was probably much stronger now that the real Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Ziya guarded the place, than when Yasamin and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were in charge.

The only thing was, the presence of Ziya and the control of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body both needed Zen.

But Zen was still trapped in the Dragon Threads. No one knew if he could leave the Other Shore inside the Other Shore alive, more so if he could release the energy soul or summon Ziya to descend.

Pearce, Auden, and the other powerful warriors from the Oneness Sky Palace all shared dark looks.

"Is it only the Blood Spirit Tortoise that invaded the Bloom Divine Province?" Auden asked. "Why do you ask that?" Pearce countered.

"If the powerful warriors at the Eternal Realm from the Bearing race and the Divine Farmer race are here, then why did they have to use the Blood Spirit Tortoise to threaten us?" Auden asked again. The Blood Spirit Tortoise was considered one of the top ten ferocious beasts in the chaos and it was indeed very powerful.

Compared to Emperor Charm, however, both of them had the same level of strength.

If the Blood Spirit Tortoise didn't have anything to hold it back and had already taken the other powerful warriors at the Eternal Realm to the Bloom Divine Province, they would've landed at the Oneness Mountain by now.

However, the Blood Spirit Tortoise had hidden in some place that no one knew where.

Furthermore, it projected its shadow for everyone to see

only be the Blood Spirit Tortoise!

"Hiss! Hiss…"

Two Dragon Threads on the back of the Blood Spirit Tortoise rolled like mad.

The Dragon Threads, which no one knew where they began and where they ended, turned out to be the two streams of force that pulled Zen forward.

The Blood Spirit Tortoise stared at Zen, who was rapidly approaching and let out a strange laugh. "Are you the little guy who gave the Element Spirit race a headache? Let's see if you're worth fighting!"

As soon as it finished speaking, streaks of blood light flashed on its back.

The blood-red light spread from its shell and quickly gathered in its head. Then, its whole head turned crimson, and the mass of energy accumulated on its mouth.

When it opened its mouth and spat out, copious streaks of blood-colored lightning flew towards Zen's body and painted him red!

"Crack! Crack…"

As the torrent of blood-red lightning washed down on him, he looked like a small leaf in a hurricane as his body tumbled up and down.

The mighty warriors of the Oneness Sky Palace watched the scene with horrified eyes. Every time the blood-red lightning exploded, their hearts pounded in their chests.

"Zen has already achieved the Myriad Tribulations Body. He can surely withstand it..." Libby mumbled nervously and clenched her fists.

Each streak of the blood-red lightning contained power as much as eighty thousand divine megatons.

The Blood Spirit Tortoise thought that Zen was weak and couldn't withstand even three strikes, although he had achieved the Myriad Tribulations Body.

It didn't expect that even though eighty thousand divine megatons of force was powerful, it wasn't enough to break Zen's Chaotic Source Spirits.
