A myriad of twisted light beams entangled with each other, surrounding the Firefly Sovereign and forming a cocoon, from which black mist continuously emanated.
“Auugh!”
Inside the cocoon, the Firefly Sovereign wildly struggled. The cocoon suddenly bulged in one place, then another, and another, each bulge following the last, while the black mist grew even more intense.
“Rescue the Firefly Sovereign!” roared the Nine-Headed Demon Lord furiously, as his divine power rapidly burned to its peak, transforming into dazzling golden light that shot directly toward the Boundary Beast, Morosha.
The Boundary Beast Morosha also knew that the Nine-Headed Demon Lord was no easy opponent—he was one of the Eight Great Sovereigns of the Cosmic Sea.
It opened its mouth again!
Silence!
Waa!
The silent scream targeted only the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. The Demon Lord hesitated briefly but then charged forward again. As one of the Eight Sovereigns, his willpower was naturally not a weakness. Though not comparable to Luo Feng, his will had reached the limit of a Void True God. Though the silent scream caused him immense pain, he could still endure it.
“Boundary Beast.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord held golden claws in both hands.
This pair of claws was a treasure of the Mechanical Stream.
“Tear it apart!”
The Demon Lord roared.
Instantly, his golden claws expanded, growing to a million kilometers in size. They slashed through space along a mysterious trajectory, interacting with each other, as if the entire void had split into black and white halves. His claws controlled both halves of space, descending directly upon the Boundary Beast Morosha.
“Get lost.” Two of Morosha’s hands shot out, rapidly expanding.
Boom!!!
The golden claws instantly smashed aside the opposing hands, directly seizing Morosha’s body and tearing fiercely. Swish~~~ This tearing move was the essence of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord’s attack. However, Morosha’s body was like rubber—it stretched millions of kilometers long as it was torn, yet did not break.
Stretched out, Morosha roared furiously, “So you’re the Nine-Headed Demon Lord? Indeed stronger than other prey, but it’s useless—you can’t kill me!”
“Save me!”
“Save me!”
Far away, the massive black mist cocoon kept bulging, with the Firefly Sovereign inside wildly struggling and using a domain-type supreme treasure to transmit his voice.
“Attack that black mist cocoon!” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord transmitted.
“Alright.”
“Leave it to us.”
The other seven True Gods, upon receiving the command, immediately launched fierce attacks on the black mist cocoon. One after another ultimate techniques were unleashed, bombarding the cocoon. However, the cocoon was incredibly resilient—each strike merely caused it to dent or stretch, but could not break it.
Moreover, countless black threads from the cocoon were connected to the distant Boundary Beast Morosha, who was sustaining the cocoon’s existence.
“Nine-Headed Demon Lord, this black mist cocoon can wildly annihilate our divine power and is extremely tough. The Boundary Beast must be supplying it with power, countering our attacks continuously—we simply cannot break through this cocoon.”
“We can’t break it from the outside, but maybe from the inside it’s easier.”
The seven True Gods were anxious and helpless.
“Break it!”
Inside the cocoon, the Firefly Sovereign roared furiously. Boom! The cocoon suddenly expanded, growing continuously, expanding over tenfold. Clearly, the Firefly Sovereign inside had gone into a frenzy, yet still couldn’t break free.
“Fellow cultivators, it is wildly devouring my divine power, continuously consuming it. Its energy is not decreasing but possibly increasing.” The Firefly Sovereign urgently transmitted, “However, I am resisting fiercely, burning my divine power to counter it. It must use its own power to suppress me, resulting in mutual annihilation. Earlier, when you attacked the cocoon from the outside, I felt its resistance significantly weaken… Continue attacking the cocoon. The cocoon has a limit—it won’t require any other methods, as other techniques are not effective. Just keep pouring divine power into it, overwhelming it until it can’t keep up, and the cocoon will collapse.”
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the others all found it reasonable. However, divine power was extremely valuable to every True God. Through mechanical stream treasures, a single unit of divine power could be amplified into a hundred or even a thousand times the combat effectiveness. Directly consuming divine power like this was essentially a waste. Some smaller-bodied True Gods naturally hesitated.
“Use your power to drain its strength.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord ordered.
“Alright.” The Blood Orchid Ancestor was the first to comply. Massive flower vines extended out, wildly entangling the black mist cocoon, pouring divine power directly into the attack.
Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~~~
It was like red-hot iron rods plunged into water—divine power and the cocoon began furiously consuming each other.
“Boom~~” Inside the cocoon, the Firefly Sovereign was also struggling desperately.
“Fellow cultivators, unite together, keep pushing it until it can’t hold out anymore, and the cocoon will break.” The Firefly Sovereign urgently transmitted, “Just a moment longer will do!”
The other hesitant True Gods exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and released a vast torrent of divine power, directly surging forward.
Boom~~~
Combined from within and without, all eight True Gods unleashed their divine power in a massive surge. Instantly, the Boundary Beast Morosha’s countless twisted light beams all coiled around the black cocoon. At this moment, not a single beam pierced into space—each was fully entangled into the black mist cocoon, clearly giving it their all.
“Boom!” In just a few seconds, the black mist cocoon exploded, and the battered Firefly Sovereign rushed out.
“Hahaha…” The Firefly Sovereign was overjoyed, yet still trembling with fear.
His divine power had already been consumed by more than seventy percent—the cocoon’s devouring speed had been too fast.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Far away, the Boundary Beast Morosha and the Nine-Headed Demon Lord were locked in fierce combat. The Demon Lord, wielding his golden mechanical claws, completely suppressed Morosha. However, Morosha occasionally unleashed silent soul attacks, easily evading the Demon Lord’s strikes.
“Firefly Sovereign?” Morosha turned its head, looking at the Firefly Sovereign with a sinister grin, “I originally intended to devour you, but I didn’t expect you to escape. Well then, just die directly.”
Morosha’s body suddenly trembled.
Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!
The previously scattered twisted light beams from the shattered cocoon suddenly blazed brightly, becoming dazzling black beams. These beams no longer twisted but gathered together… forming a pitch-black, luminous pillar! This black pillar roared forward, directly striking the Firefly Sovereign. The attack was so fast that the Firefly Sovereign couldn’t escape.
“Hisssss~~~” Visibly, the Firefly Sovereign’s body began to vanish piece by piece.
Wild annihilation!
Two diametrically opposed forces were now annihilating each other. Kill a thousand enemies, lose a thousand oneself! But Morosha could afford it—it had just devoured a large amount of the Firefly Sovereign’s divine power, not to mention it had also consumed ‘more than half’ of a small universe’s origin essence. It hadn’t yet digested and transformed that essence into its own power, but had temporarily stored it, so naturally, it wasn’t afraid of a war of attrition.
“No.” The Firefly Sovereign desperately tried to fly toward its warship.
The Blood Orchid Ancestor, also alarmed, quickly manipulated her vines, attempting to block the black pillar and take the hit herself.
“Stop!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord also cried out in alarm.
The annihilation was too fast.
The black pillar collided with the Firefly Sovereign, causing its body to vanish piece by piece. As everyone tried to intervene… Morosha once again raised its head and unleashed another silent soul attack. Instantly, all the True Gods were affected. The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, less affected, was also the farthest from the Firefly Sovereign.
“No, no, no…” The Firefly Sovereign desperately flew toward the warship—if it could escape inside, it would be safe.
But suddenly, the black pillar surged forward, instantly forming another black mist cocoon, once again enveloping the Firefly Sovereign, trapping it completely.
“Break it!” The Blood Orchid Ancestor’s crimson vines and flowers finally arrived.
Boom!
The black mist cocoon vanished into thin air, and the Firefly Sovereign inside had also disappeared, leaving behind only some weapons, armor, and other treasures floating in space. The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, the Blood Orchid Ancestor, and the others were stunned from afar… had the Firefly Sovereign perished?
…
“Boom boom boom~~~”
The entire small universe began to tremble, cracks appearing in space as it started to collapse.
All the Firefly Clan’s Cosmic Lords, every Cosmic Venerable, Immortal, and even ordinary living beings residing within this small universe instantly perished.
…
In the void, the Boundary Beast Morosha felt no joy—only rage: “Disappeared? It disappeared? Killing the Firefly Sovereign caused its small universe’s origin essence to immediately dissipate back into the Cosmic Sea? My delicacy, my delicacy! If I had known, I wouldn’t have killed the Firefly Sovereign.”
Regret.
Morosha was filled with regret. Swallowing a small universe’s origin essence provided an immense amount of energy—far more than devouring ten True Gods! But once the Firefly Sovereign was killed, its small universe’s origin essence immediately collapsed and returned to the Cosmic Sea, leaving Morosha empty-handed.
“Boundary Beast!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the others were enraged, surrounding Morosha and launching frenzied attacks.
“If I kill another True God, won’t another small universe be destroyed? That was my food…” Morosha was no longer willing to kill the True Gods, turned around and fled, “I must first consume the small universe’s origin essence, and then I can kill the True Gods! Now is not the time to kill them.”
Morosha turned and fled.
“Trying to escape?”
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the other True Gods attacked and blocked him furiously, making Morosha extremely angry because the surrounding space was completely solidified, making teleportation impossible. Relying only on flight, how long would it take to escape? The Nine-Headed Demon Lord and the others could easily keep following him, ensuring he could never escape.
…
The Star Tower was advancing through the chaotic streams of the void.
Luo Feng, wearing a white robe, held a communication token in his hand.
“Galaxy, the Firefly Sovereign is dead. However, we won’t give it another chance now—it’s trying to escape… but the surrounding space-time is solidified, how could it possibly escape!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord transmitted, “Galaxy, we can suppress it, but killing it will likely come at a great cost. Perhaps one or two more True Gods might perish. So we haven’t pushed too hard—we’ve merely prevented its escape. We’ll buy time until you and Jiuyou arrive.”
“Alright.” Luo Feng replied, “How exactly did the Firefly Sovereign die? In front of you all, how could it kill a True God?”
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord’s side fell silent, no further message came.
After a while.
Another message arrived: “Galaxy, the Boundary Beast… the Boundary Beast… escaped!”
