The scream came to a sudden stop as Firmament Supreme was engulfed by collapsing spacetime.

For Wang Chong’s three divine embryos, one hundred thousand feet, while enough to buy some precious time to escape, was still not far enough to escape the explosion.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying explosive wave crossed nearly one hundred thousand feet, swiftly catching up to Wang Chong’s three divine embryos.

“Aaaah!”

With a scream, the somewhat slower Sky Official was caught by the explosion, and his body trembled for a moment before it was blasted to oblivion.

When fleeing, the Sky Official had specifically chosen to run behind the three divine embryos, hoping to hold down Wang Chong once the explosion had passed to buy Firmament Supreme some time, but at this moment, he was obliterated into dust.

“Noooo!”

A scream filled with fear resounded over the world, but as dust and invisible shockwaves passed over, the Sky Official ceased to exist.

Even the Sky Official was a mote of dust before the twin explosions of the teleportation gate and the energy core!

Danger followed like a shadow!

Wang Chong felt his entire body going numb!

He had no time to celebrate the Sky Official’s death, as he would soon be next.

He could even feel that destructive explosive shockwave pursuing him, a sword pressed against his back, and countless goosebumps rose on his skin.

“It’s too late!!!”

Wang Chong felt an intense sense of death.

If he could not hold against this explosive shockwave, not only would his three divine embryos be lost, the part of his soul he had attached to them would be annihilated with them.

In those circumstances, Wang Chong would be certain to suffer a severe wound.

Not only would Wang Chong have failed to improve his strength, he would suffer an indelible wound.

Most frighteningly, Genesis Supreme still haunted the environs of the capital like a ghost.

Just when it seemed like the three divine embryos would suffer the same fate as the Sky Official…

“Body of a Giant!

“Armor of Earth!”

With no time, Divine Embryo 1 used the abilities it had obtained from the Earth Official, pushing them to their absolute limit.

Rumble! The ground for hundreds of thousands of feet around bulged upward, called up by Divine Embryo 1 to harden and aggregate around it.

Divine Embryo 1 disappeared, replaced by an earth giant nearly one thousand feet tall, bursting with strength and power.

This giant was infused with the power of the earth and was additionally covered with the incredibly sturdy ‘Armor of the Earth’!

Though the Body of the Giant and Armor of the Earth were abilities obtained from the Earth Official, Wang Chong was able to use them much more effectively than the Earth Official.

But Wang Chong’s tension did not relax!

“Body of the Celestial!”

Divine Embryo 1 had originally been about the size of an adult, but a moment after the Armor of the Earth had attached itself, Divine Embryo 1 grew to a size of sixty feet, the size it was when Wang Chong had first discovered it.

Its body also rapidly began to produce dark green metallic Celestial Armor!

In terms of pure defensive power, this ability that Divine Embryo 1 naturally possessed was far superior to the Earth Official’s.

“Come over!”

Time was short, and after doing all this, Wang Chong had Divine Embryos 2 and 3 shoot over to gather behind Divine Embryo 1 and pour energy into Divine Embryo 1.

Divine Embryo 1 covered them and swiftly traveled into the ground using Earth Movement.

Immediately after this was all done, the roaring explosion arrived.

Boom!

With a massive crash, the Armor of the Earth that Divine Embryo 1 had formed was obliterated like it was a piece of paper.

Shortly after, the Body of the Giant that Wang Chong had created using the power of the earth also crumbled, the nearly one-thousand-foot body turning to nothing.

The three divine embryos protected by it were instantly exposed.

The power of the explosion was now free to exert its might on the three divine embryos.

Fwoosh!

Divine Embryo 1 vomited ‘blood’. It only had time to hold fast in front of Divine Embryos 2 and 3, and then it was slammed together with them into depths of the earth as if struck by some giant cudgel.

Boomboomboom!

For several dozen li around the teleportation gate, the earth rumbled with explosions. The perimeter base set up by the three officials had long ago been flattened, and those tens of thousands of nomadic warriors from the north, after some brief neighing from their warhorses, were swiftly silenced.

In the face of absolute power, numbers were meaningless.

In this explosive wave from the teleportation gate, these tens of thousands of warriors summoned by the men in black had been maimed and crushed.

Wang Chong had earlier been thinking about how to deal with these nomadic warriors that were preparing to attack Arabia, but there was no need for that now.

There was not a single living tribal warrior within several hundred li.

Silence!

Deathly silence!

The shores of the Caspian Sea were a scene of devastation.

Cough, cough!

After a long while, with a dry cough, a figure emerged out of the shattered surface.

“Too powerful! It will be another few months until I can recover!”

Divine Embryo 1 sat on the ground and coughed up some more ‘blood’.

Divine embryos did not have blood. This was the vital essence contained in their cores.

The explosion of the teleportation gate, the turbulent energy of spacetime, and the energy core produced an unimaginable power that had left an indelible wound on Divine Embryo 1.

The dark green Celestial Armor on its surface had been blasted into tattered bits.

Divine Embryo 1 was the best of his three divine embryos, and as the strongest, it was the best bulwark against the explosion.

“It’s fine! Earth Movement managed to lessen the power of the explosion, or else we really would have died.”

Wang Chong counted himself lucky.

Buzz!

Wang Chong let out a long breath. Soon afterward, Divine Embryo 3 came over and placed a hand on Divine Embryo 1. There was a hissing sound as icy energy began to surge into Divine Embryo 1’s body.

Crack! Clack! With this movement from Divine Embryo 3, azure blocks of ice took form and dropped to the ground, forming a small pile at Divine Embryo 1’s feet.

This was freezing energy that had infiltrated Divine Embryo 1’s body while it had been hiding next to the energy core.

Using the energy core to destroy Firmament Supreme had not come without a price. Even though Divine Embryo 3 had used its Ice Element talents to help Divine Embryo 1 resist the cold, the terrifying chill had still left its mark on Divine Embryo 1.

It seems that I’ll have to rest and recover for some time once I get back! Wang Chong mentally noted as he inspected his injuries.

That azure energy core had probably contained the most terrifying Ice Element energy in the entire world. It was not something that just anyone could interact with, and the sole positive to this whole ordeal was that Wang Chong hadn’t been around the core for long, so his injuries were not that severe.

“Let’s go! Now that the teleportation gate has been destroyed along with Firmament Supreme, the men in black should have been dealt a major blow. They will probably be a little bit more restrained for some time!”

Wang Chong stood up and prepared to leave. In the distance, the faceless man spotted Wang Chong and began to make his way over.

In this explosion, the faceless man had been the most fortunate.

He knew that he was too weak and couldn’t take part in Wang Chong’s battle with Firmament Supreme. Instead, his hatred for the men in black had led him to slaughter the other men in black during the battle, unintentionally taking him far away from the heart of the explosion.

Moreover, when the teleportation gate was about to explode, he had immediately noticed something strange and begun to flee. Thus, his injuries had been the lightest.

“Master!”

The faceless man saw the three divine embryos and rushed over.

But a moment later, he came to a shuddering stop, apparently spotting something.

Wang Chong immediately spotted the faceless man’s strange reaction and instinctively turned his head. But a moment later, squelch! A golden short halberd pierced through Divine Embryo 1’s back and out from its front.

Shock!

Time seemed to grind to a halt.

Wang Chong stared at the golden short halberd protruding from his chest in disbelief.

Too sudden!

He had not been prepared for this in the slightest!

“You three damned things! For destroying my teleportation gate, I’ll kill you all!”

A thunderous roar brimming with bottomless hatred and murderous chill resounded in everyone’s ears.

Squelch! As if summoned, the golden short halberd extracted itself from Divine Embryo 1’s body and disappeared.

Only now did Divine Embryo 1 shudder and vomit its vital essence.

Too powerful!

The golden halberd had been absurdly sharp, and Divine Embryo 1’s Celestial Armor had been wholly incapable of stopping it.
