Apotheosis

The passageway erupted into an uproar after the warrior of the Earth Tremor race was swallowed by the black snake. The Other Shore creatures at the front even began backpedaling non-stop.

"It's the Evil Orochi!"

"Could it really be?"

"I know this time has not been ordinary, but why did an Evil Orochi have to appear?"

They all fell deep into despair when they saw the black snake known as the Evil Orochi.

Many Other Shore creatures had been studying the No-break Maze and the Eternal Scroll Painting diligently for many chaotic eras.

Most were very clear on what beasts would appear in which part of the maze, the beasts' strength and how to deal with them. It was well established that the road chosen by the Three Eyes race was abundant in Poisonous Leeches and the path the Violet Cloud race often took possessed a large number of Devil Shadow Butterflies.

There were usually powerful beasts guarding the end of the maze.

They were few in number, but they were seriously powerful.

Among them was the beast known as Worm Tapir. It had appeared on the first page before but often appeared at the end of the maze.

Although Worm Tapirs were powerful and their movements were erratic, there was usually only one of them guarding the end of the maze, so it likely would not cause any devastation like that on the first page.

There were also other beasts of different shapes and sizes that had appeared at the end of the maze.

All were extremely powerful but had their weaknesses.

For instance, Worm Tapir, due to its shape, couldn't enter the room with a hexagram array. The attack of another venomous beast was terrifying but it moved slowly...

In addition to these common beasts, there were also some rare ones such as the Wall Ghost and Earth Monkey. If they came across these, all that could be done was pray for luck.

The Wall Ghost and Earth Monkey were still not the most powerful beasts around though. Undoubtedly, the most powerful and the rarest, was this giant serpent before them, Evil Orochi!

In recorded years, it had only appeared five times

and when it did appear, none of the creatures had reached the Eternal Realm.

When it ap

tures.

With this question hanging out there, everyone's nerves rattled much more.

They had not been told of any safe areas in the No-break Maze, but those who had been unwilling to rush forward would wait in this passageway, hoping it was safe enough.

But was it really safe?

"It... It should be safe here..." another creature replied, quivering in fear.

"Well, generally, Other Shore creatures at the end of the maze won't come in," said Kirk confidently.

"But that Evil Orochi doesn't come from the end," said Egan, frowning.

Several abnormalities had occurred in the Eternal Scroll Painting this time and now the impossible seemed to be unfolding before them. Who was to say whether this passageway was safe or not?

Egan's words shrouded everyone's hearts in an ominous dark cloud. "Shut up!" screamed Walden.

Egan had long been displeased with the Violet Cloud race and replied coldly, "I was talking to my friends!"

"You!"

Just as Walden was about to retort, the Evil Orochi swept across again from below. This time, halfway through, it suddenly drilled into the passageway. Their greatest fear was being realized.

They had remained vigilant in the passageway; still and cautious. So the moment they saw the Evil Orochi rush into the passageway, they all rushed upwards.

If they stayed there, they would surely die. Rushing to the exit of the maze at least gave them a chance at survival, even if only a small one.
