Apotheosis

Zen thought that he was fighting avatars of the humanoid creature, but he was wrong.

The Snake Goddess and the others on the altar watched as Zen slashed at black palm-sized bugs, one after another, with his heavy sword.

Each time Zen took out a black bug, it'd explode into a faint light, which would then enter his body.

As more and more light flew into Zen's body, his expression became wilder and wilder.

Little did Zen know that the real humanoid being was calmly floating nearby.

As the humanoid creature clapped his hands and opened them, black bugs emerged from his palms and flew towards Zen.

It was the Dream-breaking Bug.

The bugs were created for the humanoid creature to perform the Soul Extreme Form.

Fully aware of what Zen was capable of with his sword, the humanoid creature had no intention of fighting him head-on.

When he summoned the black cloud for the Probability Extreme Form, his plan to crush Zen by driving him crazy had commenced.

When Zen destroyed the black cloud, he had fallen right into the humanoid creature's trap.

Zen was not native to the Stellar World, so he didn't know much about the theurgies there. Additionally, the spirit inside his heavy sword was not very intelligent. They both fell into the Soul Extreme Form easily.

Therefore, it was a breeze for the humanoid being to lure Zen and his sword into his trap.

"Kill as many as you want. The Dream-breaking Bugs will poison you and turn you into a mindless killer. That way, you will be insane for the rest of your life..."

the humanoid creature quietly murmured to himself.

When the people on the altar saw this, they also fell into a state of panic.

"It looks like that he has fallen into an illusion...." the Snake Goddess said, her voice filled with worry.

"What is that light he keeps absorbing?"

"This is not good..."

Discussion broke out among the crowd on the altar. From the looks of it, the illusion was difficult to break.

Although they were keenly aware that Zen was trapped in an illusion, there was nothing they could do to help.

Even the Monkey Masters and the Bird Masters couldn't risk coming to Zen's aid, how much more those at the Eternal Realm?

They knew that the humanoid being was too powerful for them to deal with. Even without using the Light of Annihilation, he could finish off Treacherous Beings. He could even destroy their coordinates, preventing them from coming back from the dead.

"We need to make Zen snap out of it!" a hum

ve the Snake Goddess's head.

The Descending Ring then emitted a golden light that enveloped the Snake Goddess.

In the blink of an eye, the Snake Goddess was transported to the primitive land.

Although the humanoid creature noticed this, he didn't pay it any heed.

Again, he was confident this weakling wouldn't be able to do a thing to ruin his plans.

When the Snake Goddess arrived at the Pear Hill, she headed straight for the Civilization Artifact of the human race. She was in such a rush, she didn't even bother greeting the people there.

When she finally reached it, the Snake Goddess stretched out her hand and pressed it against the Civilization Artifact. Activating the artifact, she tried to speak to Zen. Since she was in the primitive land, which was actually Zen's inner world, she hoped that she might be able to reach Zen and free him from the illusion.

The Civilization Artifact began to flash with a green light. "Zen, can you hear me?" the Snake Goddess asked.

She waited for a bit, but she didn't get any response.

She tried several more times, but Zen still didn't respond.

"So, this isn't working..." The Snake Goddess lowered her head, her shoulders hunched in disappointment.

Just then, the Eternal Realm warriors of the current chaotic era like the Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi walked up to her.

"Snake Goddess, what happened in Jade Pure Realm? Why are you in such a hurry?" the Snake Goddess of the current chaotic era asked.

It was actually kind of weird to talk to oneself. But noticing that the real Snake Goddess was so anxious, she speculated that they must have encountered a big problem.
