593 Behemoth [5]
Billowing auras of burning blood vitality spread through the God Ensnaring Formation. Even the Primal Sovereign understood the danger that stemmed from this.
He moved rapidly. Now that he had access to Spatial Essence, he wouldn’t let anyone halt his momentum.
He charged at the nearest Demigod, the same Phiroan woman who poisoned him not long ago. Facing his sudden attack, she didn’t panic at all.
Her hands moved in front of her body, forming a set of complex seals that shone with pale green light. When they came together and burst…
Boom!
A large chunk of the Primal Sovereign’s flesh was torn open. The poison she’d planted inside his body combusted at her command.
p The Primal Sovereign’s physical condition wasn’t at the same peak it used to be. After the God Killing Spear hit him, his internals sustained some serious damage.
The poison that the Deathmist Empress used on him was just the cherry on top.
But the Primal Sovereign was still a tank. He didn’t pay any mind to his injury, continuing his charge. Spatial Essence wrapped around the two and isolated them; a massive portal opened above the Deathsmoke Empress’ head.
VOOM!
Chaotic spatial waves poured out like a tsunami, enveloping the Deathsmoke Empress within. In that instant, space fragmented at an ethereal level. Each piece of shattered space seemed to hold its own true dimension. The Deathsmoke Empress’ body was being forced into these shards.
Even a Demigod would have a hard time surviving if they couldn’t affect space.
The Deathsmoke Empress was in this position. The Laws she studied were used primarily for killing. When it came to defensive and supportive use, they didn’t have as much power.
Against the absolute suppression of the Primal Sovereign’s connection with space, she was helpless, even after burning her blood vitality.
Before anyone could react, the interaction finished. The Deathsmoke Empress’ body was torn to shreds and sucked into multiple different dimensions, disallowing her from ever healing.
With a wave of his hand, the Primal Sovereign destroyed the fragments around him and turned around. Just like that, an exalted Demigod had died.
Due to the miraculous effects of the God Ensnaring Formation and God Killing Array, it became hard to distinguish why the Primal Sovereign was a being to be feared. He was being defeated too easily.
But the only reason that was possible was because his connection with space was cut off. Even if he didn’t have any intricate knowledge at all, his raw strength and instinctual control were both monstrous to the extreme.
There was no hierarchy among Space Beasts. There was only strength. But even then, the term “Primal Sovereign” was able to exist.
The Space Beasts able to claim this title could only be 10. And of those 10, this Primal Sovereign was 5th. He wasn’t a small figure.
As for those above him, they were largely unknown. However, it was rumored that the First Primal Sovereign, the Ancestral Sovereign, was the very first Space Beast to ever come into existence itself!
Even if the difference between ranks was massive, just to reach a level where his name could be said in the same sentence as such a figure spoke to his strength.
Now that he had the ability to show it, why would he hold it back? These humans needed to die so that he could finally get what he came for.
His body continued moving. After killing the Deathsmoke Empress, he next targeted the Blood Emperor. The Blood Emperor had been wounded in the very first clash, and although he was healed now, he still had some lingering fear in the back of his mind.
This kind of fear affected his fighting form, leading him to take a minor role in the following clashes. However, it seemed he could no longer hide.
When it came to burning blood vitality, he had a bit more leeway than others. Since he became a Demigod through blood, he naturally understood how to control it.
This meant, in terms of keeping the Primal Sovereign’s attention, he was the best choice.
His gaze landed on Tian Yang. He said no words, but gave a single firm nod.
He’d do the best he could, so Tian Yang had to complete his job with utter certainty!
Without waiting for an answer, the Blood Emperor took out his weapon, a long staff made of strange red metal.
Haaaa!
The Blood Emperor let out a low shout. Dropping his body, he fiercely swung out with his staff, conjuring up a sea of blood that backed its momentum!
His attack seemed premature, but in reality, his precision was perfect. At that same moment, the Primal Sovereign materialized in the staff’s path, his fist already primed to attack.
Except, he never would’ve guessed that his movements were seen through!
Bang!
The staff rammed into the Primal Sovereign’s side, creating an audible crunching sound as it dug into his flesh. Following the blunt impact, the surrounding blood sea moved as well, attempting to infiltrate the Primal Sovereign’s body and attack him from within!
The Primal Sovereign let out a guttural roar and galvanized his Spatial Essence, madly drawing it to him and using it to disintegrate the blood sea.
The Blood Emperor pushed his mana fiercely, locking the Primal Sovereign in a fragile stalemate. With his Blood Vitality burning brighter than the sun, he was able to reach a level much closer to the Primal Sovereign’s, but this wasn’t nearly enough to make up the distance.
However, because of the laws he studied, he was extremely sensitive to blood in general. Even if he couldn’t sense the Primal Sovereign through normal means, he could still trace the beast’s blood as he moved.
When the Primal Sovereign’s speed advantage was taken, it made it easier for the Blood Emperor to attack, drawing out the fight as long as he could.
That was his job.
And he wasn’t alone in this.
Blazing auras lit up the surroundings. With the Primal Sovereign held in place by the Blood Emperor, they took the opportunity to attack as well.
Six flashes appeared around him. Three were attacks while the other three were seals. Altogether, they exploded into a dazzling show of light as they accomplished their purposes.
The Primal Sovereign harrumphed. He slowly took a deep breath. The surrounding Spatial Essence began to gather in his lungs.
OOOOOOOOOH!
And then, his mouth opened and roared. His booming voice spread through the God Ensnaring Formation with a storm of harrowing spatial winds. The attacks sent towards him were sucked into this storm and shattered.
With every move from the surrounding Demigods, he would counter easily. No matter how they attacked him, his power was just too strong.
The 5th Primal Sovereign was someone they could defeat with their combined power, but they weren’t prepared enough to do so during this encounter. Unfortunately, they couldn’t kill him smoothly.
VOOOOOOOOOM!
A massive vibration spread through the air. Within the God Killing Array, a total of 12 monstrous God Killing Weapons twirled through space.
After burning their blood vitality, the Demigods in charge of the formations decided to hold nothing back. They could at most use the God Killing Array a dozen times before they ran out of strength, and now, they’d used all those chances at once!
The effect this level of attack would have was too extensive. Even a portion of their allies wouldn’t be able to survive. But if they were forced to do it…
“Do it!” A voice boomed out. It was none other than the Blood Emperor.
“I will stay and hold him down! Strike him with the God Killing Weapons no matter the cost!”
The Blood Emperor rushed at the Primal Sovereign without fear. By his side, two others silently appeared and joined him.
They spoke no words. And among those controlling the formations, there was no hesitation. They could only mourn after the battle was over.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The 12 God Killing Weapons attacked together, creating an apocalyptic scene that could’ve destroyed a planet with ease.
