Chapter 257 · Sealing Divine Power, the Self-Aware Asura God

The Douluo world did not seem suitable for divine power to remain in. Divine power with nothing to attach itself to would quickly begin to fade under the rules of the world, and the speed of this loss was even faster than the loss of Spirit Power.

If there was enough of it, it could still last for a while. But this strand of divine power was already very small in quantity. If it was not stored properly, it would soon disappear completely.

"How should I deal with this thing?"

Chen Ming thought for a moment. Then he reached out and touched the spot between his brows.

The third eye directly fell from his forehead into his hand, turning back into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Chen Ming tapped it lightly, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring was placed inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for temporary storage.

There was no need to doubt whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had this kind of special ability. As a divine weapon, it still had such a function. Although it was not professional, storing one Spirit Ring was more than enough.

After the Man-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's Spirit Ring was suppressed inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, that evil divine power also began to stir.

Within that evil divine power, a special divine power slowly appeared.

After sensing exactly what place it had been sealed into, this strand of Asura God's divine thought showed an expression as if it had eaten something foul.

Damn it. How did I end up getting caught by Sea God's inheritor? No, no. I absolutely can't expose the fact that I interfered with the Douluo world…

Asura God was the law-enforcement god of the Divine Realm, the leader who punished gods that violated the laws of the Divine Realm.

Other gods violating the Divine Realm's laws was one thing.

Him violating the Divine Realm's laws was another.

Knowing the law and breaking it was an even greater crime, especially since his identity was that of the highest law enforcer. Even a small mistake would be magnified without limit.

There were some things that weighed only four taels before being placed on the scale, but once weighed, even a thousand jin would not be enough.

Although he had indeed not done too much right now, even if his divine thought sneaking into the lower world was discovered, at most he would only receive a warning.

But after that, he definitely would no longer be able to interfere with the progress of the Douluo world.

When this era ended, it would no longer be so easy for him to obtain that power. He might even lose the chance forever.

What do I do? What do I do?

Asura God's divine thought hesitated for a moment. Then, after sensing that he had not been wrapped by Sea God's divine power, he gritted his teeth and made a firm decision.

Since the evil divine power brought by Spider God Possession could serve as cover, if he used this strand of divine thought to completely scatter himself, then his aura could be hidden within that evil divine power.

As long as Sea God did not catch him directly, there would still be room to explain.

When the time came, even if traces of his divine power were detected, his main body could say that some of his divine power had scattered into the lower world and was accidentally obtained by certain beings.

After all, this kind of thing was not without precedent in the Divine Realm.

The only pity was that the hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider he had worked so hard to cultivate had gone to waste again.

And the immortal herbs, opportunities, and people around Tang San that he had planned out would probably have to wait for another period of time.

Unfortunately, in the entire world, there were not many existences that met those conditions.

And those backup choices were not as good as the ones he had chosen at the start.

Even if he could connect things later, the progress would definitely become slower and full of twists.

All the effort, energy, and time his main body in the Divine Realm had spent had not only failed to produce any results, but had instead brought him quite a bit of trouble.

The key point was that after this strand of divine thought destroyed itself, his main body in the Divine Realm would not be able to sense what had happened. It would probably continue suffering losses in this area.

Is this the price and suffering I must pay to seize that power beyond transcendence? Dragon God, perhaps I understand you now.

Asura God's divine thought acted as soon as it decided.

He used this strand of divine thought together with the evil divine power beside it to attack himself. Through a method he had already prepared, he completely crushed this strand of divine thought along with the divine power.

Chen Ming did not notice what had happened inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

He only stored the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud back into his body and protected it with Spirit Power. Then his gaze fell on Bai He, who had been stunned unconscious by the pressure earlier, and Bai Chenxiang, who was on the verge of death.

Indeed, as a high-level Spirit Saint, Bai He could not even remain conscious under the close-range pressure of the Man-Faced Demon Spider after it activated Spider God Possession. He fell into a deep coma almost instantly.

Bai Chenxiang had originally only been heavily injured, but after being stimulated by that power, her already chaotic origin became even more unstable. Her whole body entered a near-death state.

Chen Ming took out a soul tool and stored the Man-Faced Demon Spider's huge corpse inside. Then he came before Bai He and Bai Chenxiang.

He lightly tapped Bai He between the brows, and a strand of spiritual power directly entered Bai He's mind. It woke Bai He's spirit and also planted a mark inside him.

This mark was a simplified version of the Withering Mark ability from Chen Ming's fifth Spirit Ring. When not activated, it only served as a locator. But once activated, it would begin lowering the upper limits of the Spirit Master's life force, spiritual power, and so on, while continuously damaging their Martial Soul.

On Douluo Continent, this was already a top-tier method. After all, in this world and this era, even Title Douluo-level Spirit Masters only had a half-understanding of spiritual power. Those who could use spiritual power were either born with special talent or were spiritual-type Spirit Masters.

Ordinary Spirit Masters understood spiritual power about as well as they understood the sun in the sky.

In their minds, spiritual power was a kind of energy, and the sun was a big ball of fire.

In a sense, neither understanding could be called wrong.

But it was clearly very shallow.

Bai He slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw after waking was Chen Ming looking at him with an interested gaze. Bai He instinctively felt fear, and his body trembled sharply.

Then he turned his gaze to his granddaughter.

Seeing Bai Chenxiang with blood at the corner of her mouth, her whole aura constantly falling as if she would not last much longer, Bai He let out a grieving cry and tightly hugged his granddaughter. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Chenxiang, Chenxiang, you can't just leave your grandpa behind like this. Chenxiang, how am I supposed to live without you?"

Bai He's grief came from the heart.

To him right now, everything else could stop mattering. He could ignore everything, even his own life or death. But the one thing he could not bear was watching his only family member walk toward death right before his eyes.

"I can save her. In this world, there should be no one whose medical skill surpasses mine."

"But why should I save her?"

"The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was the price for me saving the two of you from the mouth of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast."

"Saving a dying person is another price."
