Apotheosis

Of all the features and theurgies of the Space Guiding Stone, the space ball was the most astonishing one.

Since he hadn't even thought of analyzing the structure of the space ball, Zen was attacking the sphere blindly with the heavy sword.

He also unleashed powerful sword radiance with every attack. However, that only caused a little bit of damage to the space ball.

However, Zen didn't get frustrated.

Although the process was slow, he could see his progress. The first time he brandished his sword, a crack appeared on the space ball.

When he launched his second attack, the crack expanded and reached a bit further.

By his third hit, the entire sphere was looking like a spider's web of cracks.

Zen wasn't going to give up now.

He waved his sword for the fifth time, and the space ball broke into several tiny pieces.

It had taken him just five blows to destroy the space ball.

The second he succeeded in doing that, the golden coordinates turned black.

When he noticed that the Snake Spirit King's coordinates had changed color, Zen waved his sword at them once again. "Let's end this." He smiled.

'Without the protection of the space ball, I am sure that these coordinates will vanish after I hit them, ' he thought to himself.

"Is it over?"

"Is the damned Snake Spirit King finally going to die?"

"What's going on with his coordinates? Why did they become pitch black? Is something going to happen?"

The human spirits, the Monkey Masters, and the Bird Masters were all excited and nervous simultaneously as they stared at the sword radiance and the fight that seemed to be tipping in Zen's favor.

Just as the sword radiance had reached the coordinates, a black blade suddenly popped out from them.

The blade collided with the sword radiance and a loud metallic sound was heard.

To everyone's immense surprise, the black blade immediately destroyed the sword radiance.

Then a black snake slowly emerged from the coordinates. This was none other than the Snake Spirit King himself.

The Snake Spirit King had become much smaller than before now, although he was slightly bigger than Sewell. Regardless of his size, his appearance had changed a lot.

The snake's body had also turned pure black, just like the coordinates. Also, he was not just a snake now. He had grown a pair of locust's legs as sharp as a knife and a halberd-shaped spike was on his tail.

"My king!"

"Our king is still alive!"

"Oh yeah!"

The Snake Masters and the snake spirits had lost all hope upon seeing the space ball destroyed. They had been devoured by sorrow and despair at the thought that the Snake Spirit King could not come back to life now. What was more, Zen had taken out Sewell with a single strike. They were aware of what would happen to them if things didn't go their king's way.

It was beyond their dreams that not only

The aura it emitted was quite similar to the one the Snake Spirit King is emitting right now," Corbett told them.

"Which means the new power that he has acquired is most likely from the Deep Space?" the Primeval Lord of Heaven remarked with a vacant expression. "Hang on. That also means the power of the Snake Spirit King is now much better than that of any creature in the entire main world?"

Corbett nodded his head. "Most likely!" he confirmed.

The Snake Goddess, Fuxi and the others gasped in astonishment.

They had clearly heard the conversation between Zen and the Snake Spirit King just now.

'The Snake Spirit King has got some new power from someone that is not of this world.

Who gave it to him? When did it happen? Was it really some powerful being from the Deep Space?' A million questions ran through their minds.

They had initially thought that the battle would come to an end as soon as the Snake Spirit King died. But that assumption had turned out to be wrong. Now, things were looking to be more complicated than they had imagined.

Clung! Clung! Clung!

On the other side, crisp sounds would continuously ring out around Zen and the Snake Spirit King.

Under the control of the irregular heavy sword, Zen was brandishing it and resisting the attacks of the Snake Spirit King involuntarily. Suddenly, the Snake Spirit King made a sly move, and Zen staggered, almost falling down due to the heavy sword.

However, he knew what he had to do. No matter what, he held on to the sword tightly and didn't drop it.

Although the sword was incredibly strong, it needed the ancestry-level bloodline to provide it with the energy it needed to continue fighting.

Once he dropped the sword, it would immediately run out of energy within ten seconds. Maybe even less since it was facing the Snake Spirit King's attacks. And then, Zen would be ripped into bits by the Snake Spirit King.
