Apotheosis

Thud!

Sawyer's unconscious body fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zen lowered his head and stood still. Previously, when Sawyer was being possessed by the Treacherous Being, he wasn't able to move either. This time, it seemed that it was trying to invade Zen's body.

"Brother!" Thurston quickly approached Sawyer's body.

He carefully carried Sawyer to one corner to look at his condition.

The others didn't pay much attention to Sawyer right now, for they were all focused on Zen.

Everyone knew how important Zen was. If the Treacherous Being successfully invaded his body, there might be dire consequences.

"What should we do now?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked in a panic.

"We have to somehow find a way to drive the Treacherous Being out of his body!" King Ieuan said anxiously, also not knowing what exactly was needed to be done.

Then, the Snake Goddess's eyes narrowed as she walked towards Zen. She stretched out her hand, and a pink flower lamp immediately materialized.

"The Soul Catching Lamp!"

Everyone's eyes lit up as they saw the lamp emerge from the Snake Goddess's hand.

The flower contained in the Soul Catching Lamp could forcefully drive the soul out of one's body.

Even if that person had reached the Holy Soul Realm, he would still find it difficult to resist its power.

However, despite its power, its use was quite limited. This was because the lamp needed to be close to the target in order to be effective.

Because of this, it had never been used in battles.

But now that Zen's body was still motionless, the Soul Catching Lamp came in handy.

The only problem was that they weren't sure if the Treacherous Being was a kind of soul or not. If it wasn't, then the lamp would also be useless.

The Snake Goddess didn't have much time to think about it, so she just risked it.

Soon after, the pink flower in the lamp began to glow. Wisps of pink smoke started floating out from it.

Whoosh!

The Snake Goddess forcefully blew the smoke.

The pink smoke quickly rushed towards Zen's face and entered into his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Then, the Snake Goddess monitored the movements of the Soul Catching Lamp.

In just a matter of seconds, the pink light in the lamp grew brighter and brighter as the flower started blooming.

However, as the flower reached its full bloom, the light suddenly dimmed, and the petals began to wither rapidly.

With a flash in the Snake Goddess's eyes, she yelled, "Now!"

She started grabbing the Soul Catching Lamp and pulled it hard.

She felt that the smoke inside Zen's body latched onto something, so she was trying to pull it out from him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, wisps of pink smoke came out from Zen's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

of the Regal Jade Civilization, so I can sense his location. After we leave the Whining Road, we could go look for him," the Wing King suggested.

"That's good to know then," Fuxi said as he nodded his head.

Just earlier, they were almost about to give up. But now that they knew that there was slight hope of finding Zen, they decided to give their all for this slim chance.

Now, one more Treacherous Being had left the Whining Road. Even if a Treacherous Being really revived at night, there would still be an empty thatched hut here.

After several hours, the sky started to dim again.

The Whining Road was enveloped in darkness once more.

Thanks to Fuxi's treatment, most of the injuries of the Snake Goddess had already been healed.

Then, everyone stabbed their ears again as they went into hiding inside the small hut.

Through the thatches, they saw the Treacherous Beings flickering in bright white lights.

The Snake Goddess's eyes flashed as she concentrated on counting the Treacherous Beings roaming outside.

She counted a few times just to make sure. The result was still the same, and there were a total of one hundred and ninety-eight of them. It meant that two were missing.

The first one did not revive, and the other one was the one that possessed Zen's body.

Then, the night passed. As dawn drew near, all of the Treacherous Beings returned to the thatched huts.

They confirmed that one of the missing Treacherous Beings did not come back to life last night.

All of their faces seemed to be filled with regret.

They thought that making the move was a complete mistake.

However, no one knew what the result might be, so they needed to give it a try.

After that night, there was only one remaining.

Then, they could leave the following morning and enter the Supreme Pure Realm.
