Apotheosis

Although Zen didn't feel comfortable with his current form, he could now make do with it as he had been like this for so long.

The beasts that were rushing over him were much weaker than him.

It didn't matter if it was big or small. The moment he caught a creature, he tore it up like it was just a rotten piece of hemp rope.

The dead beasts were like ink on paper, soaring towards Zen's body and lingering around him.

The ink dripped from the Eternal Scroll Painting and turned into wisps of black smoke, shooting straight into Zen's Three Purities Stone.

"He finally gets some black smoke," Libby said, happy at this development.

Everyone from the Oneness Sky Palace knew that Zen was highly valued, and that his previous performance had been bad.

The only thing that made them happy was that Zen seemed to have saved himself even though so many Other Shore creatures had died within the Eternal Scroll Painting that had clearly turned into a bloody field.

They hadn't expected Zen to finally begin hunting beasts in the scroll painting.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Wisps of black smoke continued to gather, gaining speed with each passing minute.

"Gosh, how many beasts did he kill in one go?" Pearce asked, panting, his eyes wide.

He had never entered the Eternal Scroll Painting, but he still knew a few things, thanks to the ancient books. It wasn't normal for Zen to collect the black smoke at such a fast speed.

The Other Shore creatures that had originally held a keen interest in Zen had all chosen to give up because many people belonging to almost every Other Shore race had died. But now, the descending black smoke attracted their attention once again.

"What's going on with Zen?"

"How is he so fast? Did he encounter a large group of beasts?"

"So many people have died in the Eternal Scroll Painting. Does it have anything to do with him?"

There was no doubt that there was something unusual about Zen's performance, and the Eternal Scroll Painting that had killed so many people. No wonder people were beginning to connect the two together.

But even Zen, who was in the painting, was

they had previously understood, since the first page of the scroll painting was a process of absorbing the medium, the second page must technically be a transition between the Abstruse Energy World and the chaos. Seen this way, the third page was already in the Abstruse Energy World.

The key to decide what one could get in the Abstruse Energy World was on the second page.

Zen walked along the road for quite a while. The two lines curved out in the distance and opened out into an open platform on which a few Other Shore creatures were already standing.

Zen was not the first one to enter the second page. When the Worm Tapirs had appeared, quite a number of creatures had already killed enough beasts. These creatures had been lucky to avoid the slaughter.

The human-like figure standing on the left side of the platform was familiar to Zen. His forehead had an eye drawn on it. A three-eyed warrior!

Zen was sure that this was none other than Egan from the Three Eyes race.

"You've also entered the second page!" Egan exclaimed, noticing Zen.

"What's wrong?"

Zen said, noticing that the moment he entered the platform, all the Other Shore creatures, including Egan, surrounded him.

"Where are the other members of my Violet Cloud race? Why haven't they entered the second page? Tell me if you don't want to die!" a member of the Violet Cloud race commanded. 'This must be Walden, ' Zen thought.
