Apotheosis

While they were on the altar, the Primeval Lord of Heaven and his companions were struggling to hold out against their enemies.

Supposedly, eliminating the snake spirits should be a piece of cake, because they had the bird spirits, human spirits, and monkey spirits on their side.

However, the Snake Spirit King was alive. This was a huge advantage to the snake spirits.

Sewell's hissing could be heard all throughout the area.

Meanwhile, Hagar and Nereus caught sight of Sewell. They rushed towards him at the same time. The former charged from his left side while the latter charged from his right.

Unfortunately, the Monkey Spirit King, Manuel, and Tearrag had been cursed. Thus, they were unable to join the battle. Nevertheless, the Monkey Masters didn't feel dejected at all. On the contrary, this made them angrier and more anxious to fight their enemies.

Hagar and Nereus, the two Monkey Masters, moved extremely fast that Sewell didn't immediately realize what was going on.

"If anything happens to our king, we will annihilate all of you!" Hagar roared as he was charging at Sewell.

He stretched out his hands, and a black stick instantly shot out of his right hand.

Under his careful control, he aimed the black stick at Sewell.

As Hagar got closer to Sewell, he directed his stick towards his opponent's shoulder.

The once solid stick suddenly transformed into liquid.

The black ink splashed all over Sewell's body.

Hagar was one of the weakest among the Monkey Masters in terms of brute strength. Nonetheless, he was pretty good with sealing things.

What he unleashed was the Ink Sealing Technique. It was a theurgy devised by the people in the Bold Conjecture House. It was regarded as one of their top theurgies.

Soon enough, the black ink had covered Sewell. Nereus muttered under his breath, "Perfect! I'm going to cut him into pieces!"

After Hagar performed the Ink Sealing Technique, Nereus appeared on Sewell's side.

Colorful fingernails grew on top of Nereus' original ones. These colorful fingernails were actually made from energy. Each one was as sharp as a dagger.

In an instant, Sewell sustained deep scratches from Nereus' sharp fingernails. When Hagar's ink landed on him, his movements slowed down. He felt like his body suddenly became vulnerable. Hence, Nereus was able to rip his body inch by inch.

At first, Sewell didn't take the Monkey Masters seriously. He thought that they would surely win this war. However, Hagar and Nereus' combined attacks completely caught him off guard. The worse part of it was he could not even defend himself.

They already

"I have been waiting for this moment for far too long. You didn't let me down. Good. Very good," the Snake Spirit King continued. There was a trace of suppressed excitement in his voice.

Zen remained standing there and kept looking at the Snake Spirit King calmly.

Without saying anything, Zen raised his sword.

Even though it was a heavy sword, he was wielding as though it was as light as a feather.

As the irregular sword slashed through the air, it made harsh cutting sounds.

"You went into the altar yourself and failed to beat Master Kincaid. Do you really think you can defeat me now?" Zen finally spoke.

The Snake Spirit King flashed him a confident smile. "Of course, I can," the Snake Spirit King responded.

"What makes you think I am going to lose against you?" Zen asked once more.

"Don't worry. You'll see soon enough..."

Half of the Snake Spirit King's body was inside the coordinates, which were inside the ball.

Gradually, he went out of the coordinates and returned to his normal figure. There were two stones floating in front of his forehead. One was the diamond-shaped Limited Omnipotent Stone, and the other was the triangular Space Guiding Stone.

A black round gem began to appear in front of his forehead just as a black light flickered slightly around it. The gem exuded a faint black smoke that seeped into his scales.

Shortly after, a layer of black scales appeared on the surface of the Snake Spirit King's body.

"Come up here!" the Snake Spirit King said.

Just then, a space wall appeared under Zen's feet and sent him up in the air.

But suddenly, they heard a light cracking sound.

Zen stepped lightly on the space wall and broke it into pieces. "I can do it myself," he said.
