Apotheosis

Zen saw that the woman was protected inside an invisible enchanted barrier. The huge heads moved along the edge of the barrier, trying to chomp at her.

They scrambled almost desperately, trying to devour the woman, but the barrier stopped them from doing so.

The woman was stoic and emotionless, closing her eyes slightly, so Zen could barely make out whether she had the pupils of a snake.

But this didn't matter. The woman had a striking resemblance to Dorothy.

Just as Zen was about to withdraw his consciousness, the woman's eyes suddenly popped open. Her golden pupils revealed a trace of confusion mixed with wonder.

Logically speaking, creatures of the fourth-grade world shouldn't have been able to sense the aura of the Illusory Vision, since the consciousness transmitted in this way was a very small wisp and was activated in the Soul Extreme Form.

The Evil God was an exception, only because he had also grasped the power of the Deep Space.

As for this woman, she was a snake spirit. Among the Four Spirits Sect, the snake spirits had the most acute perception.

Upon sensing the faint disturbance, she immediately could tell that someone was there, despite it being extremely difficult to detect where it was exactly.

"Is someone spying on me again?" she wondered aloud. "If yes, then that would be good news for me...

Things shouldn't go the way my father says they should go," she continued, a trace of anger in her voice. "He said that he can control the overall situation of the chaos, but I bet he must have been met with opposition. Am I right?"

Narrowing her hatred-filled eyes, she shouted, "If you are someone who opposes him, please-- stop at nothing to kill my father!"

Her voice rang throughout the space, and Zen could tangibly feel her anger.

While she might've been the daughter of the Snake Spirit King, she had grown up in the Human Spirit Sect. All of her skills were taught by the human spirits of the Bold Conjecture House. The only thing that Cornelius had ever given her was the Evil Bead that hovered above her, which had been his wedding gift to her.

No matter how she viewed it, it was a great honor for her to receive a Holy Item from her father.

It had even made her siblings seethe with jealousy.

That was the only time she ever felt some semblance of affection from her father.

Unfortunately, she later realized that the Evil Bead was not a gift at all, but a weapon in disguise. It was hidden within her body, which was all part of Cornelius's grand plan.

When the four sects fought fiercely in the chaos, her father had demanded her to fight by his side.

She had refused to submit, even if it meant she had to die.

From the moment Kincaid was killed, she viewed her father as a horrendous enemy.

While she was painfully aware that she personally would never be able to exact her reve

rule. However, they wouldn't have stood a chance if they dared oppose him, so they had only grumbled under their breaths.

Now that the Evil God was so generous with the bloodline powers, the dissatisfaction in their minds instantly disappeared.

Before these Holy Soul Realm warriors and Eternal Realm warriors could express their gratitude, the Evil God turned to the Grandmaster of Heaven and Duran. "Please follow me to the third floor."

Duran and the Grandmaster of Heaven exchanged surprised looks.

At that moment, they both had guessed what was going on.

Without saying a word, they followed the Evil God upstairs and entered a hall on the third floor.

This time, the ceiling was embedded with countless rings. However, these rings were empty; no energy flowed within them.

At a glance, Duran's sharp eyes had counted the number of rings. There were one hundred and forty in total.

Just as he'd finished counting, the Evil God raised his head slowly.

Sizzle, sizzle, Sizzle...

One after another, the rings lit up, until the ceiling was covered in glowing rings.

To their surprise, all kinds of Extreme Form energy now streamed within the rings!

The Grandmaster of Heaven's mouth hung open in shock as he sensed the Extreme Form energies in the rings.

"This, this..." he stuttered.

"Are these all the kinds of energy from the Deep Space?"

Because the two of them had witnessed the Evil God's restoration of the Extreme Form energy from the Deep Space, they knew what to expect. While they had already mentally prepared themselves for this scene, they were still unable to conceal their excitement at the sight of so many kinds of Extreme Form energy.

"I can teach you how to grasp any kind of Extreme Form energy. However..." The Evil God suddenly frowned. "The consumption of power when you use the Extreme Form energy is significant. Even I can't use them for long..."
