Apotheosis

Being smashed, the Source World released a massive amount of fragments.

The largest of the fragments were several trillions of miles long and wide, while the smaller ones were thousands of miles long. They formed a spreading band of debris that floated up and down.

After the needle smashed the Source World, it rebounded in the opposite direction, then swung back. Eventually, the vacillations slowed, and the needle stopped moving, returning to its original form.

Fuxi, the Snake Goddess, Yasamin, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the other natives of the Source World looked at their broken world with silent sorrow.

They had been born and raised in the Source World. It was their home. Its utter destruction was a heavy cross to bear, and they felt heartbroken at the loss.

At the moment, however, they had little time to nurse their grief.

Once the needle had returned to its original straight form, it began extending further and further. It was aimed now at the primitive land.

The Burial Land also sped up, keeping parallel with the primitive land.

As everyone watched, a few minutes later, the point of the needle came very close to the primitive land.

Just as it was about to pierce the land, a new set of In and Out Holes had been formed.

Because the primitive land had already left that chaotic space, Zen could easily release a new set of In and Out Holes.

The black hole sucked in the needle, and the white hole spat it out.

The needle was now heading towards the Burial Land, which was flying parallel to the primitive land.

As the needle drew closer, another set of In and Out Holes appeared. Immediately the needle vanished into the black hole and was sent back over the primitive land.

This was the same situation as before—except this time, the Source World was gone, and the fierce battle between the three worlds had turned into a desperate contest between the remaining two.

The key point was that both sides were moving. This was important, because it prevented the space around them from collapsing due to the number of holes being created.

Ideally, with an infinite energy source, an infinite number of holes could be summoned, letting the needle bounce from one point to another for countless repetitions.

Strange sounds were released as the enormous needle moved in space.

It almost sounded like the splashing of waves and the howling of wind, at the same time.

As the huge needle zigzagged back and forth, it released the noise of a massive tide surging unhampered through space.

A corner of the Burial Land had been broken, so the sound was clearly transmitted to everyone inside.

In the face of the deadlock, the downgrader was patient. He mechanically released the holes t

ast, the Snake Spirit King had the advantage in the Jade Pure Realm due to his reliance on the Limited Omnipotent Stone. It was different now. Zen was omniscient and omnipotent, and the Snake Spirit King no longer had even a small chance of defeating him.

However, the Troubled Creatures continued to howl and hiss as they poured out of the space doors.

The noise they made was overwhelming.

Zen watched them without any discernible change of expression.

By now, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Troubled Creatures swarming in the red sky.

The ones in the front had already noticed and targeted Zen. They let out their strange howling cries as they rushed towards him.

"You? You are too weak!"

Zen tilted his head slightly, and waved a hand in their direction.

He released a powerful surge of energy that transformed into invisible blades, which shot with deadly precision towards the Troubled Creatures.

In a second, the invisible blades sank into the flesh of the Troubled Creatures.

They did not even understand what was happening. One moment, the wind was blowing in their ears, and in the next, they had been chopped and sliced into pieces.

Black blood rained down as broken and dismembered limbs sailed through the air.

All the Troubled Creatures died instantly.

However, those space doors were still open, and more Troubled Creatures emerged. The attack showed no signs of slowing down.

Zen flicked his hand a few more times, until the air was thick with the stench of blood and death. However, as he slaughtered these Troubled Creatures without any difficulty, he felt doubt and suspicion forming in his mind.

These creatures were cannon fodder. It was meaningless to send them in for the purpose of defeating Zen. Why was the downgrader doing this? What was he planning?
