Chapter 1162 -840: Divine Hall Core

The beastmen at the Divine Hall shouted in shock and anger, “Oh no, the entrance has been forcibly opened!”

“What’s going on? Wasn’t it said that the fugitive ran this way? How did the gate get opened? Qin Han, you didn’t send us false information, did you?!”

No matter how they tried to evade responsibility, they couldn’t afford the consequences. They quickly gathered and rushed to the entrance, intending to capture Shen Tang.

All over the sky, the foxfire blazed, the thunder roared, the storm raged, and the icy sea howled… all surged forward together!

“Ah—” Countless screams echoed.

Wave after wave of troops were sent flying, with some even devoured by the energy on the spot, reduced to ashes.

Shen Tang looked at the brutal battlefield, her heart filled with reluctance and sighs.

These experimental products created by the Divine Hall were pitiful individuals after all. From birth, they were unaware of the truth, brainwashed by the Divine Hall to serve as expendables, dedicating their lives to maintaining the Divine Hall’s operation, and ending up with nothing.

She wondered if Qin Han was among them.

She scanned the area but did not find Qin Han’s figure.

Hopefully, he can wake up in time and escape…

“The core of the Divine Hall we’re looking for is inside that Eye of God’s Gaze in the sky!” Shen Tang raised her hand and gazed into the distance.

“Tangtang, I’ll take you there.” After Lu Xiao awakened the bloodline of the Golden-winged Roc, his beast form became increasingly sleek and beautiful, holy and dazzling, resembling a mythical divine bird, with wings that could engulf the sky.

Under the immense wings, a violent storm that could easily tear apart creatures converged, yet when it settled on Shen Tang, it was like a gentle breeze, softly wrapping around her body and sending her to his back.

The Golden Eagle let out a sharp cry, like a golden blade piercing the sky, rushing towards the position of the Eye of God’s Gaze.

The Eye of God’s Gaze also noticed these audacious intruders, as if the supreme being was provoked by ants, an endless pressure instantly enveloping the entire space.

The sky seemed to be instantly shrouded in black fog, that pitch-black fog like an abyss, dense and chilling as if tangible, capable of devouring people’s bodies and souls, dragging them into an endless abyss.

In the air, thousands of cold, sharp blades condensed in an instant, falling across the sky, attacking everything indiscriminately.

Many of the Divine Hall’s beastmen were instantly pierced by the blades, bodies turning to dust, becoming black fog, even their powers absorbed and merged with the black fog, making the Eye of God’s Gaze even stronger.

This was pure sacrifice!

The [existence] above the firmament coldly scrutinized all things, viewing them as mere lowly chaff and grass.

It cared nothing for anyone’s life or death, even the Divine Hall’s armies were just pawns it could discard at any time.

Lu Xiao also bore immense pressure, the surrounding storm condensed into an invisible shield, with blades falling on it being mostly neutralized, keeping Shen Tang securely protected within.

But the attacks from above were simply too strong, not something he could face alone.

“Take Xiao Tang and charge through, don’t worry about anything else, leave everything to us.”

Shen Li raised his hand, conjuring blades that slashed open his cold and thin white wrist, with streaks of red blood spreading like threads, wrapping around his arm, adhering like patterns on his skin.

The patterns quickly spread, consuming most of his body within a few breaths, his vibrant hue turning pale in an instant.

His aura suddenly soared several times over, clothes bursting apart, the alluring and devilish red-haired youth transforming into his true form of the Heavenly Fox, with fire-red lotuses blooming with every step.

The ten tails grew long with the wind, like burning flames converging, the powerful Destructive Fire erupting like a volcano, draping the entire sky in a sunset hue like blood.

He had used the Blood Clan’s forbidden Secret Technique—the Blood Burning Technique!

By burning Essence Blood, he could rapidly enhance his strength in a short period, but it brought great harm to himself, possibly leading to a reduction in his lifespan! Endangering his life!

But now he had to resort to extraordinary methods, for Shen Li’s power skyrocketed to an unimaginable limit in that moment.

The Heavenly Fox stood firm against the wind, spitting flames, narrow fox eyes flashing with golden light, majestic and domineering, akin to a deity.

Countless fireballs shot across the sky like meteors, blocking the Divine Hall’s attacks.

Boom, boom, boom!

The continuous explosion of the air produced endless explosive sounds, the sky bursting into dazzling fireworks, incredibly beautiful and unparalleled in its magnificence.

The energy fluctuations caused by countless explosions made the entire space tremble, as if the sky was torn apart.

The attack from the Eye of God’s Gaze was unexpectedly being suppressed!

“Even if I die today, I’ll destroy you, this harmful thing!” Xiao Jin roared to the sky, transforming into the Thunder Shadow Hunting Leopard, with claws tearing through the air, thunder rolling!

The thick black clouds churned in layers, roaring thunder galloping through, intertwining like serpentine dragons, its world-destroying pressure covering the skies.

Countless violent bolts of lightning converged into a massive Thunder Tribulation Pillar, carrying the overwhelming momentum of mountains and rivers, striking fiercely at the Eye of God’s Gaze.

The area around the Eye of God’s Gaze also had extremely sturdy barriers. The thunder pillar, with all its force concentrated, struck it hard, and the air seemed to echo with a crisp “crack.”

A fine crack appeared on the mysterious giant eye in the sky.

Jia Lan raised his beautifully enchanting face, his glass-like peach blossom eyes gazing at the figure in the sky, filled with deep affection and a hint of worry, “Tangtang, please don’t let anything happen… You must come back safely…”

He still had many things he wanted to say to her, many long days he wished to share with her, and many regrets he had yet to fulfill.

Regardless of past or present, he would dedicate everything to help her.

The young man closed his eyes, and from his graceful lips came forth an obscure chant, which seemed to contain mysterious power, as if it could transcend time and space.

Any Beastman who heard the chant instantly had vacant expressions, their spirits controlled, and began to slaughter each other uncontrollably.

The Mermaid youth raised his white hand, and though the gesture seemed gentle, a tide of massive waves surged forth like a tsunami.

Large areas of buildings were instantly smashed into ruins by the seawater, and the raging waves and roaring winds devoured more and more of the Divine Hall’s territory like a giant beast.

In an instant, the periphery of the Divine Hall was nearly engulfed by the deep sea, turning into a vast relic that no longer bore its former glory.

The polluted creatures hidden in the laboratory were all released.

Liu Ye used his power to control those released polluted creatures, preventing them from attacking.

These polluted creatures were the greatest evidence of the Divine Hall’s crimes.

Jia Lan turned sharply to look at Liu Ye, a bit surprised.

Liu Ye stared unwaveringly at the figure moving farther away in the sky.

He looked dazed, taking half a step forward, but didn’t pursue.

Shen Tang listened to the chaotic explosions behind her, indicating the battle had reached its final, most brutal stage.

Yet she could not turn back to look.

Her gaze was firmly fixed on the ever-nearing Eye of God’s Gaze, success or failure hinging on this moment; even if it cost her life, she had to destroy this infernal object.

In the end, Lu Xiao forcefully broke through the barrier with his body, sending her inside.

“Ah Xiao!”

The Golden Feathered Giant Bird plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

Tears burst from Shen Tang’s eyes, and she even wanted to jump to catch him.

Fortunately, at the last moment, several mutated bird beasts flew horizontally, catching the falling Golden Eagle and safely returning it to the ground.

Shen Tang looked in shock towards Liu Ye, who was hidden behind the crowd.

He was also looking up at her, his lips moving.

Across such a distance, she still read—

“Return alive, don’t disappoint me.”

Shen Tang also saw Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Jia Lan fighting valiantly, the tears on their faces indistinguishable between bitter and sweet… With them by her side, she feared nothing.

Shen Tang turned and entered the interior of the Eye of God’s Gaze.

From afar, it looked like a colossal eye floating in the sky, filled with mystique and oddity.

However, upon close inspection, one could discover the secret; it was a specially designed floating space.

She shattered layer upon layer of outer barriers and entered the “pupil” of the Eye of God’s Gaze—this place seemed like a hidden chamber in the deepest recesses, inside which floated a core filled with powerful and mysterious energy.

The energy made her feel fear, yet also a touch of inexplicable familiarity, making her a bit dazed, unable to resist the urge to reach out and touch.

[Host, this is the core we’re searching for, quickly destroy it!]

The System’s voice snapped her back to reality.

“Crack—”

Shen Tang mustered her strength and shattered the core.

At the moment the core shattered, a dazzling white light flashed before her eyes, and the space suddenly distorted.

Shen Tang was also sucked in, her consciousness plunged instantly into darkness.
