Chapter 116 Ch 116: Plundering Essence
Roar!
The deafening roar sounded again, and the Chaos Beast who helped them withstand the pressure returned inside the blue barrier at this time.
The moment it entered the barrier, it was already covered with fine blood beads, and its appearance was extremely miserable.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao realized one thing.
In order to survive in the hands of Heavenly Demon, all these powerhouses have chosen to temporarily join forces. Now, the Chaos Beasts and humans were fighting together against the Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, it is very likely that none of them will survive!
And the current Chaos Beast who saved Dark Emperor and others was already a Major Saint Realm beast, just like the Dark Emperor.
But even after millions of years, its strength was the same. It did not become a Great Saint Realm beast.
Ye Xiao was puzzled over this matter but he did not think too much and focused on watching everything carefully.
“You each choose a node in the formation and output your energy to support the barrier!” At this moment, another Chaos Beast who was covered in scars shouted to Dark Emperor and others.
At a critical juncture, Dark Emperor did not hesitate and immediately looked at Mu Yue and Shi Kong and said: “Collaborate first and act accordingly.”
While speaking, he came to stand in front of a node suspended in the formation and learned to stick his hand on it before channeling his Chaos Energy in the formation to keep the formation running normally.
And like a miracle, Ye Xiao could now actually feel everything Dark Emperor and that Chaos Beast, both were feeling. It was very strange, but he could actually feel their hearts and minds, and their emotions.
He could not understand how this happened, so he attributed everything to the Red Crystal he swallowed.
As Dark Emperor poured his Chaos Energy into the formation, he felt that the formation was very strange.
It has to be known that the energy characteristics of different creatures are obviously different, and even incompatible with each other. However, a large amount of miscellaneous energy aggregates together in the formation, it is reasonable to say that it was very easy for the formation to explode. But this formation did not explode or showed any kind of reaction that could disturb the flow of the formation.
After carefully sensing, Dark Emperor felt that this formation had a special formation eye.
He also found that once the Chaos Energy from every creature poured into the formation eye and was converted into special blue-colored energy that operated the formation flawlessly.
Looking above, the pitch-black hand of the giant Heavenly Demon in the sky continued to press down.
The speed of the blue barrier to extract energy also accelerated with the addition of Dark Emperor and the other two.
However, the speed at which the blue barrier absorbed energy cannot keep up with the consumption, and fine cracks begin to appear on the barrier.
Seeing this scene, one of the humans took out a runic stone and then threw it into the sky.
At this time, the barrier in the sky revealed a gap.
The runic gem passed through the gap in the barrier and hovered outside the formation.
Immediately afterward, the energy of the outside world seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and quickly converged towards the runic stone.
At this time, the runic gem that had drawn a lot of Chaos Energy was embedded in the formation and blended with the formation.
It’s like installing a device that automatically absorbs chaos energy into the formation, and the runic stone continuously extracted the external chaos energy to maintain the operation of the formation.
But the pitch-black giant hand of the Heavenly Demon was still pressing down.
When the giant hand was less than 100 meters away from them, the blue barrier was overwhelmed again.
“Get ready, the formation is about to be broken. What means are there to use, use them all, otherwise we will all die.” One of the humans who controlled the formation shouted solemnly at this time.
Hearing this, everyone withdrew their hands.
Mu Yue and Shi Kong also came to his side at this time.
“Boom!”
The blue barrier soon collapsed under the pressure of the giant Heavenly Demon, and blue light rained down in the sky.
All kinds of roars and screams sounded, and all the forces inside the domain attacked the pitch-black hand of the Heavenly Demon that was pressing down from the sky.
The terrifying sense of oppression also struck again.
Dark Emperor’s body was tense, and he felt like a mountain was pressing down on the top of his head, making him unable to move.
Even if there were many people and chaos beasts to share the pressure, the pressure was still terrifying.
As the giant hand continued to press down, the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger.
At this time, the Red Stone was discarded in the corner of the formation, and no one had the heart to fight for it.
Now that this world has been blocked by the black barrier, forming a domain, unless the crisis in front of them can be solved, it is impossible to take out the Red Stone even if it is obtained by someone.
“Click!”
At this moment, there was the sound of broken bones.
Ye Xiao immediately turned his head to look and immediately found that a Chaos Beast was overwhelmed by the pressure and fell to the ground. Its body was slowly squashed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was obviously caused by the inability to withstand the pressure coming from the top of everyone’s head.
Those who can stand here now were all powerful people. None of them was weak.
But no matter how strong they were, as long as their body is weak, it is impossible to resist the oppression coming from the hand of the Heavenly Demon.
After one of the Chaos Beasts died, Dark Emperor silently waved his hand and a stream of dark energy flowed out before surging toward the dead chaos beast.
Ye Xiao, who was witnessing everything, saw how the dark energy entered the body of the Chaos Beast before coming out again and returning to the Dark Emperor. At the same time, he felt the aura of Dark Emperor was strengthened slightly.
When Ye Xiao looked at the dead Chaos Beast again, he was shocked to discover a dried-up corpse. It was as if the leftover essence of the corpse was plundered by something.
But this was not the end. Because of the previous battle, there were already many corpses left on the ground. Dark Emperor turned his head to look at the dead Chaos Beasts.
Immediately afterward, he used his dark power to plunder the leftover essence and blood of all the dead creatures and absorbed them.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. This ability of the Dark Emperor was almost like his Devouring Ability.
But still, Ye Xiao believed that his devouring ability is much stronger. It is because his devouring ability could devour anything and everything, including but not limited to energy, essence, bloodline, special body, lifespans, rules, worlds, and more.
The stronger Ye Xiao is, the stronger his Devouring Ability will be, and the more specific thing Ye Xiao could devour and make them his own.
But the Dark Emperor seemed to be capable of only plundering some kind of essence from the corpses using his dark power.
And because the breath of this dark power was similar to the Dark Source Crystal, Ye Xiao was sure that Dark Emperor obtained this power after comprehending the Dark Force.
With the passage of time, the pressure from the top of everyone’s head became stronger and stronger. Fortunately, there were many people and Chaos Beasts to share the pressure, otherwise, even breathing would have been a great problem under such a terrifying pressure.
During this period, some Chaos Beasts and humans could not bear the pressure and died. They were generally Chaos Beasts and humans with strong mental power but very weak physical bodies.
Their deaths gave Dark Emperor another opportunity to plunder and increase his own strength.
Ye Xiao could guess that the plundering ability of the Dark Emperor only works when someone is dead. He could not use his plundering ability on living people.
As this continued, Ye Xiao could feel that the energy inside Dark Emperor has grown to the point where it could go out of control at any time.
But why is that?
Ye Xiao has no idea.
“I have to stop and think of ways to escape. Otherwise, let alone others, even I will die here!”
Dark Emperor’s eyes flashed as he muttered. Then he looked intently at Mu Yue, Shi Kong, and the Chaos Beast who risked his life to bring the three of them inside the barrier.
Ye Xiao could feel that the Dark Emperor was about to take some kind of step.
Just at this moment, the space crack in the sky suddenly expanded, and the speed of the Heavenly Demon’s hand pressing down suddenly accelerated.
